A high star rating tells you people were happy, generally, but it doesn't tell you why, or whether that experience will match your specific situation. A few more specific things are worth checking before booking anyone.
Look for reviews that mention something close to your situation, a nervous toddler, an adult beginner, a specific neighborhood — rather than trusting the aggregate score alone. Specifics tell you more than a star count ever will.
Some swim schools rotate instructors lesson to lesson. For anxious beginners especially, that inconsistency can slow progress considerably. Ask directly whether you'll have the same coach week to week.
A clear, honestly stated policy, even a strict one — is a better sign than vague reassurances. It means you know what you're agreeing to before you pay.
