I just enrolled my 16 month old in swim lessons and we had tried other similar free standing programs in the area. So far, Big Blue is definitely the best. What I like - it is very clean. Other pools my daughter came away itching all day - not here. They are about safety and FUN! I have no aspirations for my daughter to be doing butterfly in a year. I want her to develop her own love of the water and learn while doing so. When I taught 2-3 year olds how to swim so they could do laps, we always played with toys. They have a similar philosophy here - toys and songs can get kids moving well in the water. I've been impressed with their management team as well. I hope it continues on this trajectory.

Part of the benefits of these lessons are that there aren't any other lessons going on at the same time. There are no distractions, just absolute focus from the instructor who also finds time to give the parent a brief check in at the end of the lesson and lots of positive affirmations for the student. I only wish we had tried their lessons sooner! The office staff is also very professional to speak with and keep you up to speed with any changes. The ability to choose the location of the lessons is also helpful as it keeps me out of the higher traffic areas of route 1. I would recommend Making Waves to anyone.

We settled on Big Blue in Watchung, knowing that this location in the Shoppes was coming. The Shoppes location did not disappoint. The initial on onboarding experience with Julia was everything it should have been - friendly, personal, accommodating. All the staff are amazing - friendly, warm, patient. Really patient. It takes a lot of patience to deal with kids as young as 4 months to 12 years old. Did I mention patient? Special shout out to Arushi - who is unfortunately no longer there - our son really came out of his shell with her. I would, and have, recommend everyone bring their kids swimming here. The facility is clean, the water is warm, and the memories are core.

We found the coach Ms Kim very kids friendly and knowledgeable and the pool and showers to be clean. The parking is ample since it's attached to a shopping mall.

I'm here to tell you that if you live in the area, and you swim or have children who like to be outdoors in a pool, this is a way better way to get that experience than to have your own pool at home. The pool is split in 3 separate areas. 1 for swimming (25ft), 1 for adults (depth ~ 6 ft) and 1 general area for kids and adults to just be in the water. Outside the pool area there is a kiddo pool for those under 4 years old. Then there is a very nice water spray park with plenty of activities for those under 7 years old. Lastly, there are slides for those 14 and under when they can go all wet and slide down -- this is shaded under trees so it's cooler than the other areas. The park sells food, but people bring their own coolers with food and drinks (no alcohol). Bathrooms and change areas are cool and safe. People are really friendly, mostly teenagers acting as staff. Lifeguards are around in all sections. Children need to pass a swimming test to be in the other areas of the pool. If they do not know how to swim or thread in water, they get a yellow band and are confined to the recreation area. I've met plenty of people from the community. Everybody is friendly. People get the season pass and go there every time the weather is nice.

It was just about closing time and my husband and I were the only patrons left in the water. I put my arms around my husband and gave him a totally benign kiss when we were approached by a lifeguard who accused us of being sexually inappropriate. I immediately exited the pool and found a manager who wildly accused us of disorderly conduct. Furthermore if you have young children I advise against taking them here as although thong bikinis are against pool policy I see them on a regular basis.
