Drowning is the #1 cause of death for children under the age of 5. It is our mission to ensure that every person, regardless of age or ability, has the opportunity to become a safe and happy swimmer in the water. For over 35 years, British Swim School has been dedicated to saving children's lives through teaching kids as young as three months old. Rita Goldberg, a former national swimmer in Britain, founded British Swim School in 1981 and developed the unique and highly effective teaching methods that are a recognized trademark of the brand alone. British Swim School is aligned with the Safer Water Safety Foundation, whose mission is to protect every life from drowning through education and heightened water safety awareness. British Swim School Patapsco Valley offers its extraordinarily effective and gentle method of water survival and swimming lessons to students in Anne Arundel County, Howard County and Baltimore County Maryland.
