    I have been offering reviews on Google for many years. I don't take them lightly and remain as honest as possible. I've recommended many people to this school because it has been the only school my 4th child has been to. She hasn't learned much, however, she likes it. My older 3 attended Rutgers and YMCA and this was definitely a downgrade. It is small and the children running it tend to be rude. We have stayed because the owner himself - personally - begged me to stay during COVID. Saying that me staying meant a lot of small businesses like his. I stayed because i believed in his sincerity. Now, that things are up and running, it's a different story. I change my daughter from Tuesday to Saturday class - in November there are 5 Tuesday classes and 4 Saturday ones. Coach Taylor gladly offered that my daughter get an extra token for a make up class which we will be taking. Now my daughter is sick, we spend 1 day in the ER with fever, pain and other things. I emailed them the ER paperwork and asked today a sick make up. They REFUSED - stating it's against policy and that I was asking for different treatment. I asked numerous times for them to change their mind. Mr. Warner now has the numbers and funds once again in his school. He doesn't need us. We are fine leaving. But if you plan to attend this school, pay attention to the continuous changing of instructors and lack of staff retention. Mr. Warner, please make another nice excuse here for the Public. I see in all of your negative reviews ZERO accountability. I pray that COVID doesn't ever happen again and that you have don't have to beg and lick your wounds (pockets) again. I have the middle emails for anyone's request if needed.

    Extremely busy pool; small changing rooms; not particularly clean. I will not be returning with my child.

    Terrible experience booking missed sessions. I enrolled two kids, and their app is terrible. So…read morebuggy, so if you see two spots left for a time, and you book one child, the slot disappears from options. If you cancel your booking, BOTH open slots show up again. Same thing even if there are 3 slots opens. Their team is unhelpful with bookings, rude, and there is no refund policy. So if you paid in advance thinking you were going to get makeups, think again - most likely, you won't have slots opening up for you to book your makeups at a time that works for you. Especially not if you're stuck with having to book for two kids like me.

She started lessons (which take place at the LA Fitness in North Brunswick by the old A&P) when she was 14 months old in the Tadpole class. She used to be afraid of the bathtub and hated taking baths. Now, she loves splashing in the tub! Taking swim lessons at British Swim School eased her anxiety about the water. We belong to our local pool and she LOVES practicing her swim skills. Everywhere we go, everyone is amazed at how much she loves the water. Our instructors are super nice as well. Edwin really knows what he is doing and his team does such a good job of working with the babies one on one. We can't wait to start up swim lessons in September !

We registered right after we did the trial class. The space looks spacious to start off with and looked organized from all fronts - right from the front desk, waiting parents who were at the gallery to the little kids on the different swim lanes. We found the coach Ms Kim very kids friendly and knowledgeable and the pool and showers to be clean. The parking is ample since it's attached to a shopping mall.

While the young…read moreadults teaching the classes haven't always been the best, I continued paying because my goal was simply to get her comfortable, confident, and started with swimming. Today, the manager Mike approached me and said my niece was "having too much fun," wasn't keeping her back against the wall, and was disrupting the class. He then told me if it happens again, she would need to move to private 1-on-1 lessons for $90. Really? These are 3-year-old children learning a new skill. Part of teaching young kids is having patience, redirecting them, and making learning fun. It honestly felt more like an upsell than a solution. There are plenty of swim schools in the area, and I'll choose to spend my money somewhere my niece is valued, encouraged, and appreciated.
