After missing enrollment for May at the Davie pool, I started researching other swim school. We…read morecame across the Swim Academy and decided to give it a try. I have to say that we are blown away with the school, the instructors, the ease of scheduling (we have 3 kids) and just their kindness and knowledge working with our girls. Coach Leeza and coach Nick have been wonderful and the other instructors are also great! They have a 3 kid max per group and 2 instructors per group! They also have sibling discounts! We are very happy and pleased with our choice to give them a chance!

I registered my child for swim lessons with them when I received a coupon. Well, I now understand…read morewhy they need to lure people in with coupons. The level of incompetence at this particular swim school is astounding. On what would have been our first lesson, I received a call asking whether we could come in early as they had some openings. I said absolutely, packed up my toddler, loaded in to the car and headed off. As I'm pulling in to the parking lot 10 minutes later, I receive another phone call stating that due to the weather they cannot conduct the earlier lesson (it is now disclosed that the pool is outdoors). And informing me that my originally scheduled lesson cannot be canceled yet as they don't do weather cancellations more than 30 minutes prior to a lesson. At this point I requested to cancel the $340 lessons and requested a refund as we hadn't yet begun. This is where the true frustration began. Initially they advised that the refund would be processed immediately. 5 weeks later, still not having been received, I contacted my bank who confirmed no refunds had been received and then reached out to the swim academy and asked whether an issue had occurred. They immediately emailed me an account summary stating a refund had been sent. Another week goes by, and no refund. So I email again indicating that the refund hadn't been received. I receive a response telling me refunds may take 4-5 business days. Well, as it's been roughly 30 business days, I'd say we're well past that. So I respond indicating that the refund was supposedly processed 6 weeks ago, TO WHICH THEY RESPOND " Great! Glad to hear the refund went through!" This is why children should not run your business (there may be an adult somewhere in the building but unfortunately they were never bothered with or informed of my issue).

First I signed for a Private Lesson and he videotaped me while swimming to show areas where I can improve. Then he showed me techniques to have a more fluid movement to help me become a more efficient swimmer. I thought it was very valuable. I also joined his TriSwim team in Davie where I swim together with a team of triathletes looking to improve their swim skills. He provides challenging workouts to help improve freestyle swimming and overall performance. This is different from a masters swim groups since it focuses on triathlete skills. Last weekend I joined the Open Water class in Fort Lauderdale beach. Gary and his team provided specific tips for open water triathlon swimming, from sighting to turning, very useful. I strongly recommend Gary for any triathlete that is looking to improve his swimming skills, as he is very knowledgeable and passionate about this field.

This swim school is truly amazing. I started my son here when he was about maybe 3-4 years old. He…read morewill be 6 in 2 weeks and I can honestly say this school has taught him so much. He started out being nervous in the water to being a fish in the water. Best decision we ever made. He is so comfortable in the water now, I feel 150% confident in him being around pools or accidentally falling in. I wouldn't budge. He can swim to the wall and lift himself out so easily. The teachers are amazing and so patient, so kind. Great environment. I drove almost 30 mins away for every single class and it was totally worth it. If you are looking for a swim school for your child this is definitely the one. He loves to swim and was excited about every single class. GREAT JOB GUYS. THANKS A LOT.

I reached out to the company because I was concerned about the lack of progress, but I did not feel they were willing to properly address the situation. They eventually sent a different instructor, who was a really nice guy and much more helpful. However, after assessing my baby, he recommended approximately 18 additional classes. I don't think it's fair that after paying for 14 classes with almost no results, I'm now being told I should pay for another 18 classes. I understand every child learns at a different pace, but when that much time and money has already been invested, I expected the company to take more responsibility and offer a reasonable solution.

Good afternoon, I…read morewas a member of Midtown Athletic Club in for three months in the summer of 2019 and I spent nearly every other day at the facility. Not only are the grounds well maintained, the view of the nearby lake is stunning (particularly from the portico), the equipment is first-rate, and the health instructors are passionate about their craft. I was able to take part in a fitness challenge consisting of several CrossFit-like events (the Midtown Challenge) and I learned several fundamentals of Tennis during my time with the Club. Should I move back to the South Florida region I would not hesitate to re-initiate my membership as the first order of business. Thank you for reading and have a good day.

I joined this club expecting a premium experience, especially at more than $300 per month…read more Unfortunately, my experience has been the opposite. The gym is consistently overcrowded, equipment is often unavailable, and parking can be extremely frustrating. For a club charging this much every month, I expected far better access, convenience, and overall value. One of the main reasons I joined was specifically to become part of a tennis community. Unfortunately, that has probably been the most disappointing part of my experience. The members running the so-called tennis groups have, in my experience, been unwelcoming and at times outright rude. Instead of feeling like a club that encourages members to connect, play, and build a community, the tennis side seems far more focused on lessons, coaching, and bringing in additional paying students. That was especially disappointing because at this price point, members should feel like they are actually part of a club -- not simply another source of revenue. At $300+ per month, I simply do not believe the experience justifies the cost. I have dealt with overcrowding, difficulty using equipment, parking issues, an unwelcoming tennis environment, and what feels like a constant emphasis on finding additional ways to charge members. I joined hoping to find a premium gym and a strong tennis community. Instead, I am leaving feeling that the club is far more focused on maximizing revenue than creating a positive experience for its members. I will be canceling my membership.

My daughter has cerebral palsy and Coach Leeza has taken very good care of her. At first my wife and I were very worried because our daughter still does not walk and we thought that it would be very difficult to learn how to defend herself in the water and although she is not yet able to defend herself (after 4 classes), the progress my daughter has made is important.

She has been given creative license in what she makes each week - while there is a curriculum, there is flexibility within it so that each child gets to work on what motivates & excites them.

She was flexible when I asked to switch a week. Finally - a note about Covid-19.

Even though I always thought the girls were too young to be dealing with small children from 6-12, and they were around 8-10 children daily and only two girls one 19 one 20 they didn't take care of children very well. One day one girl started it was her first day she got hurt with the machine needle got stuck on her finger. My daughter was next to it she saw all the blood and how she was crying of pain and fear. Paramedics got there. For my daughter this was traumatic. She called me crying to pick her up. I called these people later to get refund of my money since this for me was unacceptable. They refunded me only half. But we had to fight and they were not nice. This year this summer my daughter wanted to go back there. I told her let's go to different location maybe the teachers are older and responsible. When I called they said I was banned from participating in the program because of what happened last year. I told the girl who answered the phone that I needed to talk to the owner she said is not possible. But she was going to tell them. I thought it was so unfair from their part to closed their doors on us. When it was their own fault not to have good service and responsible and respectful people working for them. But these responses show how these people are. They're not good business. You'll never grow more treating your clients this way. Don't worry there's plenty of sewing teachers online and at home that can teach my daughter safely. I was just trying to give you a second chance. But I see you got your hatred again what's right. Good luck with your bad business. You never even care to call me back and explain to me why I was banned. Beyond crazy to believe. No one ever care to answer me back. The lack of empathy is astounding.
