    I attend with a group that rents the pool. Before management changed, I would have rated this…read morebusiness highly. However, finding the lifeguard on their phone instead of watching the pool on numerous occasions has me saying, "Don't trust your kids to these people!" Today I reminded the lifeguard "The pool's over here." She apologized and said she had gotten a text. I DON'T CARE about her text. She has ONE job - to guard the lives of the people in that pool. Management has been notified on several occasions, but this unsafe situation has been allowed to continue. Edit to respond to Chris W. - Your response translates as, "We have no intention of doing anything more than we have already done in response to the feedback that has been offered privately." Emptor Caveat.

    I was pretty nervous about signing my son up for classes here as all the reviews were horrid. But,…read morethey had an easy online scheduler and got back to me right away (both when signing up for my first session and again when I signed him up for my next set of lessons). I didn't hear back from Hood for weeks and all the classes at the Y booked up opening day. In the end, I figured I'd give KIDS FIRST a shot and if it didn't work out, oh well, lesson learned. However, we love it here! My son is only 8 months old, but it was important for me to have some one on one time with him and to grow up to be confident in the water. I will preface this with I don't expect much from a class for kids under 1. He's not joining a swim team anytime soon. All classes were started promptly and his instructor (Shannon) was great and seemed to really enjoy working with the little ones. Each class we do the same order of activities that introduce swimming on their stomachs and back and getting their heads in the water. It can get monotonous for me doing the same thing each week, but my infant loves it and routine is good for them. My main concerns were with reviews that it was cold in there. It is so warm! The pool is at 90 degrees and the temperature in the building is very warm, too. I always leave feeling hot and was refreshed when heading back out into the winter cold after our lessons. The second concern was about it being dim. The observation area is a bit dark, but the pool room, changing rooms, and restrooms are all very well lit. My son always leaves happy, healthy, tired and is excited each time we hop in the pool again. Bonus: if you are signed up with lessons for them you can come to an open "family swim" on Saturdays and Sundays for just $5 per person.

    David and his team have been truly exceptional. We enrolled our son in his classes when he was…read morealmost 2 because our house had a pool and we were worried about what could have happened. Within 3 weeks our son could float, within 5 weeks he could swim and pull himself out of the pool, and we even did a test if he fell in with his clothes on and he passed with flying colors! I'd like to think its genetics but it was really David's hands on approach. Since then we have kept him enrolled and now as a 4 year old, he has the confidence that extends outside the pool. I can't recommend WeAquatics enough. Even compared to our friends kids who enrolled in other companies (Goldfish), it's not even close!

    Our two kids (ages 4 & 8) have one-on-one/private swim lessons via WEAquatics at the natatorium at…read moreTrinity. Both are in the pool at the same time, with their own instructors. The Trinity facility is an exceptional space, great parking, wonderfully kind staff. WEAquatics is an amazing program with stellar teachers. They are kind and encouraging and knowledgeable. Our 8 year old says that the lessons are the highlight of her week and the progress our 4 year old has made in two lessons was unbelievable. The staff at the program is responsive and flexible. This is expensive but worth the investment. For us, these are our first lessons for both kids and I know our kids will make significant progress in a short amount of time, thereby making the $$$ more than worth it.
