"We are very pleased with the management and swim instructors at Foss Swim School. My toddler can be a handful yet the instructor kept her focused and on task. We chose the once a week group lesson for the entire summer, but other options are available. Parents can sit and observe their swimmers right by the pool or in the large, air conditioned lobby. I enjoyed being by the pool and hearing the teacher's direction while my husband watched from the cooled area."

We don’t just teach swimming lessons. We teach water survival skills. British Swim School, the premier swim school in Chicago, has been trusted by families since 1981. Our mission is to ensure that every person, regardless of age or ability, has the opportunity to become a safe and happy swimmer. We aim to instill within our students a love and respect for water, and to foster abilities that can translate into lifelong enjoyment.

Every child is different, and all swimmers will progress at different rates. Our curriculum-based program begins with the foundation of water survival first, followed by learn-to-swim programs. Once the skill of survival is mastered, children learn stroke development skills and progress to the next class level once they’ve mastered the previous level’s goals.

Swimming is not only a fun, healthy activity, but an important life skill for all children. These skills are essential to reducing the risks of a drowning or near-drowning incident, as well as enjoying water-based activities in and around Chicago!
