Items that come to mind are: purchase new flag lines, refinish the pool deck, replace doors in the pump building, install a true water cooling system for the hot summer months, purchase new time clocks, and add new aquatic activities. Note that the pool water is very clean and the lifeguards are attentive. The Y will be competing for members with the county aquatics center opening this fall in Lakewood Ranch. I suggest the Y become more proactive before people cancel their memberships.

My kid's first official gymnastics meet. We didn't know what to expect, and we were pleasantly…read moresurprised with the venue and the organization for this competition. We attended the 2025 SGJA Judges' Cup. Hosted by EVO Gymnastics. I'm not sure if all competitions do this but for this particular meet, they charged an admission fee which they accepted payment with cash only. Admission Fee (CASH ONLY). Adults: $25.00: Children (4 - 12 yrs): $15.00. The venue was very spacious. It was a bit crowded when we arrived and we went upstairs to observe until my kid's competition start time. If you can snag a seat in the front row upstairs, then you're golden. Otherwise, it can be difficult to see over so many people up there. Just depends on where you're trying to view your child during competition. Once we started, we went downstairs to admit him and then stayed down there to watch. It was a better view down here. Our family stayed upstairs and were able to get front row seats once the first session ended. The kids competed on the floor level with different events such as: floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar. After the competition, they gave out the awards. It was a nice set up for the awards with the balloon arch for decoration and the winner's podiums. Fabulous venue with a nice set up. Our first gymnastics meet was very organized and executed flawlessly. Good times!

I had my daughter enrolled at Lakewood Ranch Gymnastics for over a year, attending twice a week and…read morepaying $177/month. Unfortunately, in all that time, she barely progressed. Every class seemed to have new beginners, but no one was really paying attention to whether long-time students were improving. I tried to address this with the front desk and was told someone would call me. After sending an email, I finally got a callback from the director, who asked if my daughter's skills book was up to date. The problem is that most of the time there were substitutes, and substitutes aren't allowed to sign off on skills. So even though she had mastered certain skills, she was missing a signature. The director promised to have the teacher check her and follow up. My daughter was so excited, but when we came back, nothing happened. We even added sticky notes to her book to make it clear, but no teacher looked at it or talked to us. After all that time and money, it felt like no one cared about her progress. As a parent, I feel this gym is more focused on filling classes and collecting tuition than actually helping kids grow. Once we switched to a new gym, after just one class my daughter was placed in Beginner Level 3 -- exactly where she should have been all along. Don't waste your time or money here

My daughter is a competitive gymnast and it is hard to move to a new competitive program. She tried…read moreout multiple places but as soon as she had her evaluation at Flip Zone we knew it was the one. The environment is welcoming, the coaches are supportive and skilled. In our first few months at Flip Zone I have seen my daughter's confidence build and her skills develop in a whole new way. Flip Zone supports not only their strength and technique, but the mental aspect of gymnastics as well. There are several different schedule options and we love the homeschool training program. We drive a long way to get here, but it is worth it. I am excited to watch my daughter grow in this program!

(concerned grandparent)…read more We joined FlipZone Gymnastics because we believed we were investing in a structured, competitive program where our daughter could grow as an athlete. Like many families, we made a major commitment of time, money, and trust based on the information provided to us when we enrolled. Unfortunately, our experience has been extremely frustrating. We have experienced ongoing issues with communication, organization, and transparency. We were given certain expectations regarding team structure, timelines, and opportunities, but later experienced changes that did not align with what we originally understood when making our commitment. One major concern was the communication surrounding team placement and deadlines. We were informed that the cutoff date to join the competition team was May 10, 2026. After that date, additional athletes were still added to the team, which raised concerns about whether the same expectations and policies were being applied consistently to all families who had already committed. The team structure also changed after enrollment, including splitting athletes into different groups with changes to practice schedules and additional costs. Families commit financially and make significant sacrifices based on the information they are given at the time of enrollment, so changes like these should be communicated clearly and handled transparently. In addition, the gym often feels significantly overcrowded, which has impacted training. At times, our team has not had consistent access to the equipment needed during practices due to limited space and multiple groups sharing training areas. This has affected the quality and flow of training sessions and is something families should consider when evaluating the program. We have also been disappointed by how concerns have been handled. Parents should feel comfortable asking questions and advocating for their child while receiving clear communication and professional responses. Before committing to FlipZone, I strongly encourage families to ask detailed questions about: * How team decisions are made * How deadlines and policies are enforced * How changes to teams and schedules are communicated * What additional costs may arise after commitment * How gym space and equipment access are managed * How parent concerns are addressed We love gymnastics and want the best opportunities for our child, but families deserve transparency, organization, and consistency from a competitive program. This review reflects our personal experience and why we believe other parents should do their research and ask detailed questions before making a long-term commitment.

If you miss a class do not fear your money will be wasted, they give a lot of grace regarding make-ups, which as busy parents we really appreciate.

My 3 children have been attending Aqua-Tots for 8 months now, and after having attended multiple…read moreswim schools, I wanted to share our wonderful experience with Aqua-Tots, and the many reasons we love it. We tried two other swim schools because Aqua-Tots is a bit of a hike, but we have found it to be well worth the drive. They are one of the few companies that allow same day cancelations and give you a make-up class to use at another time. The app is very easy to navigate, and I can simply reschedule a class at any time. I can easily view my child's progress, and what they are working on. The app also allows you to see which instructor your child will be swimming with. Many of times, the classes are not fully booked, and my children get to experience a private lesson. When this happens, they still allow the full class time. At other swim schools, if the class is not full, they lessen the class time. The facility is always clean, and they have tons of changing rooms, and just a nice set up overall. There is plenty if seating and room for a family member to join and watch. The owners have been a pleasure to work with and are always involved, which we appreciate.

There were children younger and older than him, all thoroughly enjoying themselves. The check in staff were very friendly. We bought a small package for while we're in town and thought the price was fair. They have lots of different areas: toddler/infants (play kitchens, small toys, blocks, etc), art (including smocks), calming room (if it's too much stimulation) and LOTS of gross motor skill activities (exercise equipment, trampoline, rock climbing wall, zip line, swings, etc). The whole gym as foam floors and there are foam pits under larger things (zip line, jungle gym, rock wall, etc). Everything seemed clean, bathrooms were clean too!

I am a certified school teacher, and have taught special ed in the past. I have worked with OTs for many of my students as well. It is so amazing to have all these sensory tools at your disposal at this playground. There are multiple types of swings, for toddlers and big kids alike. There is a rock climbing wall, and extremely safe, spring-less trampoline with yoga balls in it for play. There is also a zip line into a padded pit, and monkey bars with pads underneath, and tons of other activities. There is a toddler/baby area blocked off by a half wall, so they will not be overwhelmed by the activity in the main room. There are dramatic play toys there such as a kitchen, grocery store and baby dolls. My daughter surprisingly loved the car ramp! There are tons of other age appropriate toys there as well. The entire place is padded with the foam type of pads you would put underneath home workout gyms. There is a dimly lit calm down room, with a beautiful blue bubble wall, and jellyfish tent and headphones. My younger daughter is a little quieter and more cautious. She loved being there all by herself and had plenty of time to get acclimated to her surroundings. She was able to run freely around and feel confident. I would definitely recommend checking out the website to see everything that this place has to offer. You can tell that a lot of thought was put into the creation of this indoor playspace, from a very educated perspective!
