Britishswimschool Reviews 

Guys, if you're looking to work as a swim instructor at this particular location, DON'T. I will say it again. Don't consider stepping foot and work here. Management is cold, unsympathetic, doesn't care if unforeseen circumstances happen on your end, and if "the drive" or commuting is an issue, they won't care, nor take it to consideration. This is not a healthy work environment, and you'll just be another expendable employee. If I could give 0 stars, I would do it without hesitation. That's all I'm going to say. Think twice before deciding.

TLDR: stay clear of this place, unless you like paying thousands for glorified day care.

British Swim School’s Vallejo location, run by Cheronda A. and team, advertise their program as being able to “instilling water survival skills that save lives”. After 17 months (64 lessons) and $2500 down the drain, we pulled our son from this program due to it being more akin to an aquatic day care (with you as the parent remaining present) than a swim program.

The people at the school are nice enough interpersonally, but these are the red flags to notice:
- After an initial few weeks you stop getting feedback, which when given is always verbally and never through skill progress item in the British Swim School’s app. If you challenge the owner (Cheronda A.) on this, you will be gaslighted in there being more feedback than there actually is, and that it is their policy to only give verbal feedback versus using the app for what it is intended.
- You’ll notice your child will have many different instructors throughout lessons, with great variety as seniority as instructors.
- You’re paying about $40 for a 30min session, but on avg. there are 4 kids per classes, meaning even if you round up that’s $40 for 10 minutes of instruction, as in the 64 “lessons” we paid for equates to having paid $2500 for less than 11 hours of instruction.
- The lessons are utterly simple snd repetitive, and not lessons at all, the same 4 simple things are just endlessly repeated without any coaching or guidance from the instructors towards the child as to what to do different or how to improve.
- The final straw, when you confront them on the inadequacies listed above, they will a) gaslight you in terms of feedback cycles, but much much worse, b) blame the lack of results on your child.

In summary, this school will happily take your money for providing very little, and in terms of practical outcomes are operating in opposition of their mission statement.
