Previously posted a review with great ratings. Since then the owner changed this place really went downhill fast. Too many kids in the pool. Billing is confusing and always in their favor ( have to pay ahead of time now). Some of the instructors don't know how to swim but are teaching classes. Very unprofessional. Class sizes too big. There is a YMCA that costs much less in garfield and you have the option to come 3 times a week with your little for no additional cost. Cost increased for this school and quality decreased. What a shame, it used to be so good. 😕

My daughter is soon to complete her tadpole level and I see how much fun she has and how her confidence in water is slowly growing. I only wish the classes were a bit longer, perhaps 40min instead of 30. Other than than, I am a happy parent.

One of the worst schools. Dirty bathrooms, hair all over the floors, cold water. My child is in the water for 30 mins only? A waste of money. Please look somewhere else, if you want to get your moneys worth. No one calls you back, and always canceling classes

I have been really enjoying my time here. The instructors are fantastic. Orlando and Melissa have made me feel welcomed and are very knowledgeable. I look forward to every class because of them.

I definitely recommend this swimming school to everyone. Matthew is very helpful at the front desk from clifton location. He always ready to answer any questions related to swimming. Hopefully, the institute will recognize Matthew as an employee of the day/month/year. I give a big shout for him.

It’s a joke, only 5 minutes of swimming lesson per class. Each class is for 30 min and there are 4 children in each class. First 5 min is warmup where all kids are sitting on side and last 5 minutes are free fun in water. That leaves 20 min for 4 children. At this pace I think any child will take couple years to learn. This is an expensive short fun activity but don’t expect any child can learn to swim with so little time. If you’re really serious about your child to learn swimming they will be better off with private classes.

British swimming school in Clifton NJ was the perfect place for my son to learn to swim. My son was afraid of the water, but the trainers Orlando, Casandra and Alivia had a lot of patience to train him. I thank you very much for teaching my son to be a good swimmer.
