My daughter has been a student here for a couple years and she has improved greatly! The location isn't too bad. The only downside is that parking can suck depending if there's an event happening at the community center. The staff at Leahi is amazing. Ashley, who works the front desk almost always and helps with registration is amazing. She's so personable and treats everyone like family! She and the pool staff made accommodations to help my daughter feel comfortable during her first lessons without a parent. The staff in the pool has been amazing and accommodating. Kiki - who graduated HS and is no longer working there, really helped my daughter with her confidence and really helped her literally every step of the way. Sage was so fun and very enthusiastic! Ashley (in the pool) also helped my daughter gain confidence when my daughter was really swimming on her own. Koa is awesome and really makes you feel so welcomed too! I also do commend the owners as well. I was at the pool one day when there was a troubled parent/grand parent asking why her student couldn't move up levels. Even though this customer was clearly frustrated and maybe a little angry with the owner, the owner explained why so calmly that the requirements aren't just there just cause - it's for safety too!! Open swim is always nice, usually Saturdays at 4pm. It does get crowded so either come super early or late!

Leahi Swim School is a MUST for all keiki for swimming lessons! With such an ohana based…read moreenvironment, they can break through any child's fear of the water or their challenges with any speed bump they're stuck on. These two factors alone is what my son was able to achieve. Located in a quiet pearl city community behind their community center, you'll find leahi swim. A very clean pool deck area and pool. The staff here is always welcoming and are known as Aunties and Uncle's to the kids. The kids here can start off below 3 years old but if they are they must attend the class with the parent. 3+ may attend classes that fits their swim level and skills. When I enrolled my son he was at the level of not being able to put his head under water on his own and he absolutely hated splashes. He just could never get his face wet! So he started beginner I. After a little over a year and about 6 seasons, he's now able to go underwear ingredients voluntarily and swim across the pool! Can never forget his "Pizzas, Tummy, Slice", "Ice Creams", and Foggy Legs techniques plus more. He got to the level we wanted him to finally reach and I can't thank the staff here enough with helping brayden get to the level he is at now (Advanced Beginner II). With all the familiar faces, they still greet Brayden even when he's not in his classes. You'll even see co owner Ben jump into the water and teach a class or two when there's not enough instructors for the day. At the end of each season on the last day it's also "Medal Day!" When kiddos complete their season, they get a medal! Including the babies. A tip for this school, it may be very hard to get enrolled for your first class and may be on a wait list. However once you're enrolled, you get early registration before public for each season going forward. They have an online system with their high volumes of enrollment as well that you'll learn as you do and they provide a flyer every season as well to follow along.

The pool is beautiful with what looks like 3 lifeguards on duty. You can rent a pavilion for your own little enclave to picnic by bringing your own food and drinks supplemented by CPK pizza, salad, Mac & cheese for the kiddies. Starting to drizzle? Doesn't bother all the people in the pool. You can even purchase shave ice and coffee here. Hot fun in the summer time. This is the life. Hubs chose this venue for his birthday celebration with the grandkiddies. You know the nursery rhyme about Jack n Jill? Well... today hubs was Jack, not steady on his feet coming down the hill and took a big spill down the hill. Maybe he thought he was young at heart.

Don't get me wrong, they have tons of dive gear and will help you find the right gear for what you do and will help you get the right fit, but they also have a huge retail space. It's not crowded and it's easy to see everything. It makes it super comfortable and easy to take your time. They also offer swimming lessons for the super young through adult. And if you want to take a dive class, they offer both technical and recreational classes. The pool is on site too. The parking lot is huge. GPS takes you to the wrong side of the building, so take the road down to Midway and turn from that side. Enter in the first entryway-the others are blocked off.

After working with MJ, he still needs some convincing to get in the water but he is SO much more comfortable and confident swimming.

We really can't say enough nice things about MJ. He demeanor is patient and calm and she kept a consistent pace. She met our son's needs and adjusted course when he was struggling with a skill.

For the most part, it's not open in the morning hours, but opens up around lunch time on weekdays and has fragmented afternoon and evening hours. They're only open on Saturday afternoons. New schedule should be coming out soon, so I may update this review. The chlorine is very mild to negligible at the Salt Lake Pool compared to an indoor pool on the Mainland, which made my hair sticky and changed my black shorts to green/gray due to the strong chlorine. I really appreciate the mild chlorine in this pool. Hopefully, it's not due to kids peeing (pardon my French) or the rain water, diluting the pool. However, it's great and I like it. There are storage lockers where you can lock up your personal belonging outside, or not. Also, men's and women's changing/restrooms. Parking is very ample and free. Also, this is a FREE POOL! No fees or dues. Can't beat that!
