★★★★I CWe had a great experience with one teacher, and initially a very poor one with another instructor prior who barely taught my son anything other than to throw a toy around for a month. We finally realized it was a poor fit after we had a couple substitutes and my son loved them, and after I literally watched and screamed a the instructor to do something as he watched my son sank / struggle in the water. Our current instructor is wonderful and patient, so she gets 5 stars. Front desk is great too. Beware a couple neighbors in the area, especially the ones towards the further end of the block — with one woman who gets very upset and will verbally harass you if you’re park legally (not on red, etc) but “too close” to any driveway even if it’s not her own.
★★Renata MijasCan I just say the pool and the water are the perfect temperature for learning to swim. Sadly I cannot say that our kid's teacher was so great. We will not return to this swim school purely because the teacher packed empathy and warmth. She was polite enough but somehow there was something about our child she didn't like. Our child was the only one she didn't smile at, she gave zero feedback and zero words of encouragement. Everytime my child came in the water she ignored him no hi or hello. At the end of the session she played with all the other children in the group but not ours. And I thought that I imagined it at first my my husband on a separate occasion noticed the exact same thing. It's a shame because our son put his teacher on the pedestal, isn't a shame she didn't see value in him.
★Reza KhiabaniStay away!! We had a terrible experience with teacher Leola. In a one on one class one week, for which we were charged $35, she took our kid and made her cry the whole time. Told us she doesn't mind kids crying. Our daughter had a terrible first time experience. They told us to come back the next week to a more experienced teacher, Gabby, and charged us $35 dollars again. They told us it would be a semi-private class again, but when we got there it was a group class. The teacher didn't have much time to connect with our kid, and our kid was still scared from the previous session with Leola. She didn't even go in the water and we came back after 10 minutes of watching other kids swim. They wouldn't give us our money back even though they admitted they had overcharged us for a semi private class. After talking to them for 10 minutes, they handed us $15 in cash. Terrible terrible first time experience for our kid, and lack of common sense and respect from Leola and the receptionist. They are just interested in money and not your kid's experience.
★★★★★Varun SharmaOur best experience so far. The teachers are seriously persistent and patient with kids. Especially We are so lucky to have Ms Melanie as our daughter's swimming instructor.
★★★★★Blair WilliamsReally great swimming school! Very much a family feel, and they do a really good job with the little ones. My 3 year old son learns more every week, and he loves seeing his swimming teacher every time. Also a big plus that they give ribbons when the kiddos achieve a new swimming skill, and they give them a little candy treat at the end of each swimming class. All in all, really great place!
