Agnew I've been on a quest to get my 5-year-old to learn how to swim through various means. We had success at finding a good place at Saratoga Star Aquatics (http://goo.gl/zqCS7v), but the distance issue from my south SJ home forced me to look elsewhere. A friend recommended to me Pinehurst Cabana Club which was both close to home and fit my budget. Our experience there was so-so, and I've decided to break it down with another rendition of my the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The Good -Reasonable price of $60/week for either x5 (M-Fri) 30-minute morning lessons (10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.) or x4 (M-Thu) 30-minute evening lessons (6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.) -Instructors were great and my son really enjoyed his time with them. -The pool itself is immaculate and seems to be kept up very well. -Great location that was only five minutes from my parent's house and about ten from mine. It's also only a few minutes from Hwy 87 and Capitol Expwy Auto Mall. -The class sizes are really small, with a max of four kids, but he was usually either one-on-one or with only one other kid. The Bad -The getting screwed out of one lesson for the same price because you can't make it during the day is kinda shitty, and no real reason was given. -The club itself is old, outdated and in major need of a renovation. Some of the pool furniture/patio sets there have seen their better days, and the bathrooms are pretty bad, as well. -Limited lesson season that only last from June - August The Ugly -They have a really strict cancellation policy, that I'm not sure they explain very well. Yes, it's clearly stated on the contract you sign, but nobody reads that. My Mom was the one who initially signed him up because we wanted him to have day lessons. So the first week goes off without a hitch, and then the second week he has his Monday lesson and the next day he wakes up feeling a bit sick. So my Mom calls to let them know he's feeling sick and she claims the lady she spoke with offered to just move his lessons to next week. My mom agree and that's that―or so we thought. They were all booked up for days during that 3rd week so he got pushed to the 6:30 p.m. time slot. We arrive that day and they are asking for a payment. I told them that they pushed his last week's classes to this week and they said they would have to check. After speaking with my mom she claims they never said anything about forfeiting the $60 and having to pay for the next week's classes seperate. The "manager" who claims that she spoke with my mom swears that she told her about the policy before moving him to the following week, but I think that's complete BS. I don't like to call people liars, but I know my Mom and she's just as cheap as me. There's no way she would've just let $60 go right down the drain―especially since the boy was feeling better by Thursday. I didn't feel like arguing and didn't want to get into a she said-she said nonsense, so I reluctantly paid up. I wasn't happy, but the contract is the contract. I've watched too much Judge Judy to try and fight it. The whole thing was probably just a "miscommunication," but they need to make themselves *crystal* clear when dealing in matters of money. Ultimately, I think we will still be back next Summer for more lessons. The price, location and great instructors will triumph over the bitter taste in my mouth from the rescheduling fiasco. Recommended for getting your wee one swim lessons, just beware the fine print.

So I'm updating my previous review. Sunday 8/23/2024…read more So it was 100 degrees out. My wife and I decided to go for a swim. I'm disabled in one knee, and the other is about to be disabled. There was a group of about 5 or 6 adults, one with an open container using the stairs as their personal lounge area. They had towels setup, dipping their feet in. One drunk and loud man was proudly blocking the stairs, holding on to the railing to hold himself up. At a common egress point you would think the lifeguards would have something to say to them. Even as I was shakily trying to get down the steps, they didn't move. Wife and I took up a lane and started to swim. Due to my disabilities my exertion level is low. One of the lifeguards decided to take it upon himself to ask me, "Is she OK with you being in her lane?" I told him, "Guy, that's my wife, wtf?" It's not like my wife went up and complained to him, but he decided to discriminate against my disability since I wasn't doing Olympic level swimming. My wife left and I was gently doing backstrokes, there was 3 kids on the deep end, same lifeguard, "Hey can these kids jump in your lane?" Wtf dude, if I wanted kids in my swimming area, I'd swim outside of a lane, not wanting to be a curmudgeon I agreed. I went to the other side of the pool to leave. As I was leaving the pool the party of 6 were still there, screaming, yelling, hanging off the rail. Again, my knees are in terrible shape. I need the hand railing, and I need space. I walked around the party, went to the lifeguard, showed him my scars on my knee and asked him, "Aren't you going to do anything about them?" He wouldn't. It's really annoying when you have visible surgical scars, visible ambulatory issues, and a lifeguard is treating you like dirt. Everyone pays fees here, but not everyone gets treated equally. That was my rub. 8/24/2026 Monday Wife and I decide to go back. There was kids everywhere, and I didn't want to put up with more lifeguard discrimination, so I went to a quiet part of the square common area. I was floating around, backstrokes, when some kid jumped in a foot away from my head. I straightened up and gave them a dirty look. So I moved over to another part of the square area where there was no kids. Started relaxing again, floating on my back. 2 kids came up and started splashing next to me, getting water in my face. I told them to go splash somewhere else. I decided to go sit in the sauna for a while. At that point I counted about 10 kids in the pool, 4 parents sitting poolside, faces buried in screens. By the time I got out of the sauna there was about 20 kids between the hottub and pool. As my wife and I walked out, I looked left at the loungers... A few more parents. Every single parent not looking at their kids, 100% focused on the screen in front of their face. I'm usually very patient of kids, but when they're unsupervised and running wild it ruins my time. How would the lifeguards or parents react if I decided to invade the kids space the way they did mine? Splashing them in the face? Let me wrap this up with a suggestion. Make the triangle area where the chair lift is adult only. That leaves plenty of other areas for kids to be kids without disturbing adults, and gives disabled adults like me a place to peacefully get their exercise in.

They are located in a residential neighborhood and the only downside is the parking. Naturally, the residents do not want people going to the school to park in front of their homes and tend to leave their garbage cans etc. out on the street so get there early to find parking. The club itself does not have onsite parking. I looked at their website and called them because I could seem to be able to create an account and Joe, who answered, was very helpful. It turned out that I needed to use a different browser. The price is $140/month with a $45 one time registration fee. There are no makeup classes, which is also a downside. The pool itself is clean, with instructors in every lane. There were 3 kids assigned to the instructor that day with a max of 4. The instructors were patient and knowledgeable. There was one point of contact who was evaluating the swimmers and providing instructions. There is plenty of space for parents to hang out during the half hour class or you can leave but they ask that you stay close in case of an emergency. There are showers and loaner swim goggles and caps. They are close to the Cabana Club pool.

My son used to go at waterworks aquatics and I had to cancel his lessons there because he couldn't stand the smell of chlorine and he is a bit claustrophobic. Maki has a great environment. Their pool doesn't have a strong chlorine smell and I like how its not completely closed off. The tent is well ventilated and I like how they open the vinyl on hot days. My son feels comfortable and safe. Sandie has always been very helpful since my first interaction with her. She even offered a tour of the facility and a trial swim before we can commit. The location is very convenient. Only 5 minutes away from our house is a plus! Highly recommended

Unfortunately, constant coach changes meant our younger daughter never learned to swim despite two years of lessons -- every time progress was made, a new instructor reset the process. When we finally found a coach who worked for both girls, the school switched them without any discussion. When we raised concerns, the person running the school (Maggie) was dismissive and condescending rather than willing to listen. We also dealt with frequent last-minute cancellations (Sandy expecting immediate response last minute ). The coaches themselves were often great, but management's poor communication made it impossible to continue. Get all commitments in writing before enrolling.

They have showers and lockers indoors, bring your own lock. It can get crowded on weekend mornings, most of the lap swimmers split the lanes. This is a great place to take the adult Tri-Fit Aquatic classes, it's like water aerobics meets interval training with different types of underwater weights, an underwater bicycle and an underwater elliptical machine. If you have any injuries and/or overweight, aquatic exercise is a great way to work out with low impact to the joints. These classes are offered year round, however the pool is outdoors and it gets really cold in winter (despite being a heated pool). Sometimes the water temperature is not consistent and occasionally the heater breaks. Two improvements that would be appreciated - add a swimsuit wringer machine and add an indoor community pool to Mountain View for winter-time use during the rainy season. There are many RVs parked around Eagle Park because they have a public bathroom and BBQs. This community pool offers a fundraising donation bin for our homeless neighbors to have access to the showers, I think that is fantastic and shows genuine care for our community as a whole.
