Mixed review. First I called to set up stroke lessons and was told all about it then said I would…read morecall back once I figured out if her dad was able to take her every other weekend. When I called back I got someone else who said I should probably have her do an assessment. So I showed up this past weekend and had her do the 2 minute assessment which was basically the instructor asking her to swim to her then float on her back. So I decided to set her up for lessons, although I was not impressed with the swim instructor. The lady at the desk told me there was an $80 registration fee and then $25 for the assessment. First of all no one told me there was a fee for the assessments and she went into exactly the class I figured she would go into so I was a bit irritated. Anyway I decided to set it up regardless. I did ask on the phone how many children were present for each class and I was told for the five. There are eight children present today with one instructor. So that's another annoyance. This location is very convenient, so I would love it to work out. I guess I'll give it more of a try but so far I'm not impressed. Another side note, in order to see the lanes fully you have to sit inside the pool area and it is like 100° in here! I'm sweating bullets. But it's only way I could get a full view of what my daughter is doing. The teacher is very perfunctory and doesn't crack a smile. I'll have to see if I can get her private lessons perhaps with someone else here or try somewhere else altogether.

This place truly prepares your child for water safety!

My son absolutely loves it and feels comfortable. My daughter is starting classes soon as well. I highly recommend this place. The staff is so friendly and everything is cleaned and organized. Everyone there is so helpful! Nayden is the swim instructor for my son and she is awesome! She has been great with him and so helpful with getting my daughter to start lessons as well.

My 7 year old grandson had been going to Swim Atlanta on Old…read moreRoswell Rd since the beginning of the school year, 2024 I started having some concerns, the water in the pool always looked dirty, the areas around the pool and the waiting area also looked dirty. In the middle of October, my grandson started complainiing about a stomachache. We thought it was a virus. Two weeks later he still had a stomachache. I took him to the Doctor. After many tests, the Doctor said he tested positive for CRYPTOSPORIDIUM, which is a parasite found in dirty pools. It causes respiratory and gastrointestinal illness. Don't ignore your children's coughs and tummyaches. The last time he swam there was at the beginning on November, that was before we knew his test results. I noticed the whole area and pools had had a major cleaning, but we won't send him back there.

This is for the Cumming Location…read more If there was a 0 star will be amazing. One start is too much for them. They ARE RUDE from the office staff to the Swim instructor, Just horrible. Is insulting the fact that you pay this people for a service and they are JUST RUDE !!!!! They are late for their classes and they still do not do any make ups. (They are late to all their classes and they have an attitude about it) The worst part is they are always booked ......!!!! Why people support business like this!!!!!!! ??? People should boycott business, that allowed this kind of behavior from their own employees..... I had no idea they were so horrible The front office staff, the old instructor (with the "I hate everyone" face) and another huge blonde instructor need to fix their faces number one, and shouldn't deal with costumers directly, they have no people skills, What the need to be doing is cleaning the pool, when everyone is gone, in that way they don't interact with costumers. Costumers that pay their salary, but they don't seem to care! The sad part is, they could be great, but with the nasty attitude everyone has in that location , is not worth nothing. Is just bad NEVER AGAIN

Cherokee Aquatic Center has both indoor (2) and outdoor pools so it's important to distinguish when…read morereading these reviews. When we visited with our family only the outdoor pool and small water park was open. On a hot summer day it was certainly worth the trip and the value given the price (it's public) seems like it's hard to beat. We paid a little over $20 for a Father's Day special (two kids tickets plus mom). Note: under 2 is free but 2 and under must wear swim diapers even if they are potty trained. The water park is fairly small and we felt like we got our fill in just a little over an hour of time. The life guards are nice, but as others have mentioned, strict. Not just the "no running" type of strict but the no going face first on a baby slide type of strict. It's a pretty paternalistic approach when you consider that every hour they take a 10 min "get some water and reapply sunscreen" break. Isn't this what parents are supposed to do with their kids? I'll also note that no outside food or beverage is allowed and this is enforced The little lazy river is fun and fast moving. They have two big slides if you have kids that are 48 " inches tall at least. The aqua tots section doesn't have much but it's fun. It was crowded when we were there so it took about 10-15 min to enter and the big slides also had some lines, but nothing crazy They also have a small concession stand and lockers for just $.25 which is nice. Again, overall, given the price it's a pretty good deal for cooling off with your fam but if you live far away, not sure it's worth making the trip all that often.

I appreciate how accommodating they are. There are so many swim instructors/staff working. The staff are very warm and caring. There is a huge window/seating area to see the entire pool and my child feels reassured since he can easily see us. The facility is very clean and has many changing rooms, restrooms, hair dryers, etc. The front desk staff are very helpful and friendly. My almost 4 year old has been going to weekly classes for the past few months. He was very scared of the water before, but since starting the classes he is less fearful and seems to enjoy it now. Depending on the day and level, there could be anywhere from 1-4 kids in a class. Although, I wish they would cap the class to 3 kids so there is more time in the water, I still think he is learning a lot. We will see how long it takes him to make progress and will post an update.

We always arrive by 9:40 to wait in line (doesn't open until 10am), to ensure a great spot once inside. The food is priced to be affordable, which I really appreciate. They have three combo meals (including chips and a drink)- pizza, a hotdog, or a sub from Lenny's Subs. They have PB&J, yogurt, nachos, pretzels, and lots of ice cream treats as well. The lifeguards do a great job of keeping everyone safe, and they rotate positions every 30-45 minutes. The only thing I dislike is that there are two sessions (10-2 and 2:30-6:30), and you must leave and get back in line and pay again to stay for both sessions.

ISR- Infant swim resource…read more PSA: We have had an awful experience and hopefully this helps other parents looking at this as an option for their kid(s). We scheduled with TANYA CAREW out of the Cumming Aquatic Center. Our child had 9 lessons before Tanya stopped showing up. On what was supposed to be day 10, she sent 6 kids home because the capillary refill at the heel was too slow meaning they were too cold and couldn't stay in the pool. The next day she text after our child's lesson was supposed to have started and said she was cancelling lessons because "they are having lessons today". Odd, as I know there are supposed to be lessons... my kid has one scheduled. She is double booking her time. I asked about make up lessons. No response. The very next day she no call no showed. Parents & their kids were showing up all morning and being told no one had seen the instructor. The next day of lessons, a text came in mid-morning saying she wasn't feeling well. At this point we are just getting scammed. ISR has been contacted and we requested a refund but each instructor is an independent contractor so their hands are tied. They can't do anything. TANYA CAREW finally answered us 5 days later saying ISR has a strict no refund policy and she wouldn't be refunding us. She again gave no options for rescheduling, making up lessons missed or refunding us for the time our child wasn't in the pool. She referred us to a different instructor and stated she wouldn't be paying her either so we would have to fork out another $1,000 to get our child started with them. I have heard positive feedback from other co workers and parents who put their children through ISR in Buckhead but I would steer very clear of Tanya and Cumming.
