I've been a member at another gym for over five years and decided to give this place a chance while…read moremy family is out of town. Unfortunately, that ended as soon as I walked in. I stopped by to ask about a one-month membership, but instead of listening to what I was asking, I was interrupted, talked over, and treated in a dismissive, condescending manner. Customer service matters, especially when someone is considering becoming a member. The interaction alone was enough for me to decide to take my business elsewhere. I won't be back, and based on my experience, I'll be telling the people in my network to stay away from this gym.

We have been through several different swim programs and teachers for my very wild and crazy four year-old. David has exceeded our expectations and finally helped our son have a breakthrough to really become a safer swimmer. He has also been very accommodating to our schedule and the behavioral needs of my son. he has tirelessly tried different techniques to help my son attend during lessons and has been very fun and engaging. I would recommend him 100%!

I gave two stars because the swim staff is nice. When we purchased our package, we were told the…read moreclasses we purchased didn't expire. Fast-forward six months when we had to skip classes due to scheduling over the weekends. We were then told oh we need to re-enroll in order to use those classes. Well, this means you didn't have to go twice a week to make up for what you didn't have the chance to do originally. This is not what we were told when we purchased. I went back back-and-forth, whether I should post or not. We have chosen to go to a different place because we felt lied to and cheated out of a lot of money. I would not recommend this company anymore, and I hope they change their business practices to something more ethical.

She has taken lessons here since she was 5 months old and continues to love swimming. The pool is her happy place! They regularly assess the students to provide feedback and move them up to different levels when they're ready. It's great to see all the new things she learns and can do as she moves up in levels and see her confidence grow. She was able to swim the length of a pool on her own by the time she was 4 and continues to grow as a strong swimmer thanks to the teachers here. The teachers are all friendly and helpful. The pool is big and warm and the facilityare clean. The weekly swim lessons are a great way to help our child get regular exercise and develop as a swimmer.

I have taught swim lessons for more than 10 years and have taught at 6 different schools in 3…read moredifferent states. Triangle Swim School is by far the most professional and warm environment I have ever found in a swim school. The curriculums are well planned and the staff takes time to train and co-teach with all new instructors. This can certainly not be said for all schools. As a person who knows this school well I can tell you that this is a school that is more than worth your time.

Overall this is a great swim school and I am glad we found it for our little one. The teachers are…read morefriendly and great with children. My son has excelled as a swimmer. The price is also much more affordable than other swim schools in the area. The reason for one star off is that there aren't many changing areas for babies. It was really hard for us to wait in line to change a baby so we started changing him in the car. To me this is a minor inconvenience but I know some parents have said this is a deal breaker.

We've had an amazing experience with Aqua-Tots in Cary! Both of my kids joined at Level 3, and now,…read morethree years later, they are in Level 8. We've seen tremendous growth in their confidence, skills, and love for swimming. All the coaches have been fantastic over the years. I may not remember every name, but each one has played a role in my kids' progress. A special thank you to Coach Zachary -- he was absolutely wonderful and made a big impact. Currently, Coach Cole is doing a great job as well! The front desk team and receptionists have always been friendly, helpful, and professional. The overall environment is positive, encouraging, and very well organized. We're truly grateful for the dedication of the entire Aqua-Tots team. Highly recommend to any parents looking for quality swim lessons for their kids!

Not a place for a first lesson. Watch my video…read more Update: Because they are not a part of any swimming organization, no one holds them accountable for their dangerous methods. I filed a complaint with the USA Swimming Safe Sport and with the U.S. Center for SafeSport. However, neither of these organizations can take action against the rough coaches and the school because it is a private institution and falls outside the jurisdiction of any organization that could halt their dangerous practices. They will continue to lie on their website by stating "Safety first" while simultaneously forcing your screaming child underwater. They scared my 4-year-old. She screamed and was actively resisting, but the coach just took her and threw her into the water. I could see she was suffocating for a moment because he just forced her under water while she screamed. So lovely for a first lesson ever. How do I convince her now that swimming is fun? Coach Lucas doesn't know what he is doing at all. Disappoinment. I regret I brought my kid there.

Overall, this is a very nice swimming facility. My…read moreexperiences with one particular older front desk employee have been far from a delight on multiple occasions. I have personally heard her yelling at children and asking them if they are handicapped because they used the automatic door button, which I found extremely inappropriate and uncomfortable to witness. I have also seen her be very short and dismissive with patrons, sometimes telling them to speak with another employee rather than attempting to help them herself. On another occasion, I approached the front desk when it appeared that no one was available to assist, only to see her in the room behind the desk vaping. I understand that working at a busy facility can be stressful, and I don't expect every interaction to be perfect. However, I do expect staff members to treat children and patrons with patience, professionalism, and respect.

The Triangle Aquatic Center is one of the most impressive swim facilities I have visited. The…read morecompetition pool, warm‑up pool, and overall deck layout make it a fantastic venue for meets and training. My swimmer had a great experience in the water during the Speedo Sr. Sectionals. What TAC does exceptionally well: * Top‑tier aquatic setup with multiple pools, plenty of lanes, and a fast competition environment. * Convenient location right off Convention Drive with a large parking area and overflow options during big meets. * On‑site café and swim shop, which is a lifesaver during long meet days. A few things to know before you go: * Spectator seating can get crowded during major meets, and sightlines aren't perfect for every lane--pretty common for big aquatic centers, but worth planning for. The front row is not the best seat in the house. There is a railing that prevents filming.

I only went twice and that was on a guest pass, I say that the service was not exceptional, but…read morethey were quite nice and it made for a pleasant experience. The facilities were nice and the equipment seemed new and well kept which is always a nice thing. The problem is the value, it's a little bit of a drive and not Central for where I typically am, and the cost is just astronomical. I would not consider this a gym, but more as a luxury inclusive area. It's got lots of fun amenities and I think they take good care of it for the most part, but I just can't justify the cost.

I've been going to Lifetime Fitness Cary for about 4 years. Yes it's expensive, but I feel like…read moreit's worth it. I love the group fitness classes and I love that you reserve your spot in advance. They also just started a new Core Tone Reform class with reformers for regular members, and that class kicks your butt! I also really enjoy the sauna, steam room, and jacuzzis. Another benefit is the kids membership. My stepdaughter loves coming to the kids club for gymnastics, rock climbing, yoga, and more. I know that she is having fun while I'm doing a class. They have Parents Night Out on the weekends and that's such a nice perk! There's also day camps, which has saved us a few times when we needed child care during a school break. The pool is also wonderful in the summertime. The cafe food is average. I'd love it if the quality was amped up just a bit. The only thing I really ever get is the vegan PB& B shake. It's delicious! It has peanut butter, banana, cafe mocha greens, almond milk, and vegan protein powder. I haven't been to the salon yet, but it's great that this is an option. Overall, I love this gym and I would go every day if I could.
