My son with his coach Silvia.
Ruth Y.

My son learn swimming here for more than one year. He made a huge progress. Very appreciated all the coaches who help him a lot. They are so nice , patient and professional. My son very likes coach Silvia, Aiden and Alfonso. Recommended to who want their kids to learn swimming.

Our family has had a wonderful experience at Blake swim school, and I'm genuinely impressed by the professionalism, teaching quality, and the overall environment. Coach Blake is truly outstanding. He is highly professional, strict in the best way, and extremely responsible. He pays close attention to details, corrects technique immediately, and sets clear expectations for every practice. You can tell he takes every lesson seriously and truly cares about each swimmer's progress. Since training with Coach Blake, my kid's swimming technique has improved noticeably--better body position, cleaner strokes, and more confidence in the water. The progress has been very clear and consistent. I also want to recognize Miss Anna at the front desk. She is warm, patient, and genuinely helpful--especially for parents. Whether it's scheduling, questions about classes, or general guidance, she takes the time to explain things clearly and always helps with a positive attitude. As a parent, that kind of support makes everything much easier and more reassuring. The facility and learning environment are excellent--clean, organized, and very kid-friendly. One thing I really appreciate is the water temperature. It is very warm, which makes a huge difference, especially for new swimmers and younger children who can easily feel cold and become nervous. The warm water helps kids relax, focus, and enjoy learning. Overall, this swim school delivers real results with caring instructors and a great environment. We are very happy here and highly recommend it to any family looking for high-quality swim instruction.

It's never too late to learn how to swim as an adult! I'm so happy I found Waterworks and have…read moreAllyson as my swim instructor! I was low-key terrified of being in the water from an experience as a child but after a few months learning with Allyson, I'm much more confident in the water and can now do one lap of backstroke and breaststroke! Allyson has been very patient, nice and encouraging throughout my learning-how-to-swim-as-an-adult journey- it's still ongoing! She always makes me feel comfortable and works at my pace. I highly recommend her! Also, the Waterworks website makes it easy to schedule your classes and the few times I've contacted them (phone call & email) for help/questions, they've replied promptly and were helpful. : )

RECIPE FOR SUCCESS…read more Ingredients: 1. Take one shy barely 3 yr old child that was afraid of the water, 2. Add one amazing and patient swim instructor in Ms. Allyson, 3. Add 4 weeks of private sessions 4. Results, a child that is confident, expressive and relatively skilled and equipped to save herself and now, does not want to exit the pool. Ms Allyson is amazing with little ones who are drawn to her caring, patient and calming style and demeanor. She understands the child's needs and adjusts the sessions accordingly. Thank you Ms. Allyson! YOU are a difference maker!

The…read moremilestones at each level give the kids a goal to shoot for and build the confidence to start a swim career or enjoy the water. The breast stroke kick is a particularly difficult one for the kids to grasp. Melanie has worked with my daughter and shown a lot of patience as she figures it out. Melanie's taken the time to show her the mistakes and explain the movement with more clarity. We have seen my daughter begin to grasp the concepts and make strides towards taking that next step

The Parent and Me are helpful foundations that I then can take home and just practice directly. The 30 minute group lessons my kids are currently in have been solid. A few notes: - The instructors change out quite a bit (turnover and absences)where my kids usually have a different instructor each time. It is not usually a problem since the instructors are all solid and pretty consistent - The deck managers are A+++. Adrian in particular is phenomenal with my son who is nervous around water. Love their engagement and care. - Group lessons can be 4 kids (my kid swims way less) or 1 kid (basically private lesson) just depending on the absences of attendance. I appreciate the class size but the larger class size feels like my kid gets only about 10 mins of true lessons since attention is spread across so many kids.

I appreciate the fact that the upper management really hands on in solving my scheduling issue…read more Pros: Indoor Instructors quality and patience Online system Great Phone customer service Cons: Costly Complicated online scheduling system Any cancellation will automatically revert to "make-up" class Some lessons are automatically cancelled by the company Limited Male instructors availability Not allowed in the water before the class time. Tips: just try ur best not to reschedule your class time to avoid confusion and misunderstanding of the policy I was glad finding an indoor swimming class, esp since Im a LA FITNESS member. I dont mind the high price too, even thou its almost as expensive my kids' private figure skating/ ice hockey lesson. What i do mind was the frustration from the scheduling system. I purchased 4 lessons package and scheduled my 3 kids lesson back in May. The extra 1 lesson was converted to make up class because I canceled 1 future lesson. A month later i saw the make up lesson was gone, and i was reading the "help" section that I need to pay another class so that the make up credit will be available. In which i did (so now i have 1 make up lesson and 1 paid lesson) I have 3 kids and i want them to have an equal chances to any activity, so i ended up paying 3 extra lessons and scheduled them back to back (at this point i have 1 make up lesson and 4 paid lessons). Next morning, i found out one of the class was cancelled, and i called the customer service. Thankfully she was helpful and she helped me in scheduling my kids lesson around. I wanted to use all of my lessons (paid or make up) so i wont need to worry about this complicated things anymore and will move forward finding other company. When i checked my online account, i noticed some of the classes were marked as make up lesson, and missing one class. I called again, and another rep saying i still have one paid lesson and that make up lesson is way of the company give it for free. How could it be for free when money already taken out from my account? Oh my GOSH. So frustrating! The reason i purchased 4 extra single lessons so that I can save time taking all of them together at the same time frame. Felt that I have to either let one class gone, or purchased more so i can scheduled all of them together again. Its your take, either you want to take in my review or not, but as a single mom with three kids and 2 jobs, dude, i work hard for my money (like anyone else) and for time off work to take them to activities, so I dont appreciate this back and forth confusion and complications. Another cons, as a first timer, we didnt know what to expect and noone greeted us when we arrived. I told my kids to go in 5 min prior to stretch in the water, on the side, so they wouldn't bother others, and that was not allowed. So for more than $29 lesson per 20 min, child should jumped in on the first minute, lesson, and out on the 20th min. The instructors Muna and Christian were good. I appreciate they let me know where my kids were in their skills.

It's ok.. communication is pretty bad. Trying to schedule a make up takes days for them to respond…read more No one ever picks up the phone. One time we showed up doors locked no one told us anything and turns out the instructor was sick and didnt show. My son's instructors were all nice but they didn't seem to make an effort with him. It felt just like a lot of walking back n forth in the pool. We did private lessons which were 25 mins long. Sometimes they would start late because they had another student so my son only got 20 mins. The restrooms aren't very clean. I preferred to change my son in the car. We left since we moved.

We really wanted to love this place, especially because so few facilities offer swimming lessons…read morefor children with special needs. Unfortunately, what we witnessed was absolutely heartbreaking. My nephew is afraid of floating on his back, and instead of gently guiding him, the "coach" put his arm across my nephew's throat and forcibly tried to push him onto his back. My nephew was kicking, crying, red in the face, and visibly terrified, desperately looking for his mom. My sister was pacing nervously, yet the coach never acknowledged her concerns. The owner was also present, encouraging this "tough love" approach. When my sister finally took him out, the coach never checked on him or spoke to her. He swam a lap and then left to go eat. Another coach at least had the decency to ask what happened and whether my nephew was okay. This is not tough love. It's a lack of compassion, patience, and understanding. Swimming instructors should build trust and confidence, not traumatize children. My nephew has panic attacks that same night. I've also experienced this coach arriving late. Please think twice before bringing your child here. No child, especially one with special needs, should be made to feel this terrified during a swimming lesson.
