This organization is great! Our previous swimming instructor(s) suggested we take our three…read morechildren here because they had progressed so well in lessons that the instructors thought they could not learn anything more from basic lessons. All three are becoming stronger swimmers after each practice. They also offer a competition of sorts. The kids swim with each other but really compete a lag instead their self and not the other kids. That is, there is more focus on each individual's time and progress against their own time. Now, that being said, I do expect some competition among the kids and actually hope to see some of it as they all get better.

Tadpole Academy was a great experience and well worth the money. This was my 5 and 7 yr old sons…read morefirst swim lessons. They both improved tremendously each day in the pool. Day 1 my 5 yr old cried and was upset and did not want to get back in the water but after a few times he calmed down and was excited and wanted to stay in the water. They both said they loved it! They could not wait to go back each day for lessons. The classes are exactly long enough each day. Abby and Noah were very professional. They were kind, patient and soft spoken with all the kids. I thought they did a really amazing job!

Everything positive that you have read in the reviews over the years about Red's is true…read more Unfortunately, Red himself passed away and much has changed. It is so apparent that some important standards left when he did. It is still a fabulous facility that is very well equipped. Everything that I can point out as a negative can be traced back to staff not doing their jobs. I can remember back when Red had a courteous staff that kept everything picture perfect. Now when I go in, it pangs me to see dirty towels strewn about the facility, trash cans overflowing, garbage on the floor, etc. Unsupervised kids is another problem. Inattentive staff compounds that issue. Not long ago, I witnessed a kid jumping down from a second floor walking track so his friend could film it. It was in full view of the front desk, but their attention was on their phones. I tried to report this to another staff member who let me know that it wasn't his area to deal with. I would hope that they would get on the ball and bring the facility back to its glory. If you can't do it for the members who pay a premium price to go, at least do it to honor the man who brought one of the greatest gyms in the country to Lafayette.

Child Endangerment. Why? Because today, my wife and I brought my great granddaughter to swim. My…read morewife did not swim; she was with me to assist in getting my granddaughter to the pool area safely. When they entered the swimming area exiting from the women's locker room, this young girl who was a lifeguard, told my wife that she was not allowed in the girl's locker room. We had brought my granddaughter there several times before with no issues about them going into and exiting into the pool areas from the women's locker room. My wife then gathered her stuff to bring it into the girl's locker room and this girl immediately followed her in there to tell her that she wasn't allowed in there. The girl was rude and vindictive. My wife told this rude girl that she wasn't going to allow a six year old girl to go in there by herself. She then told her that they had to go to the Family dressing room which my wife and I had never heard of before and we had been there as members for 9 months. When my wife after being escorted by this rude girl to the family room, she was greeted by a bathroom stall that didn't lock and a urinal. This is atrocious on so many levels. We decided to cancel our memberships and when we filled out the forms for cancellation, we were given a run around on contacting the facility manager and told that they would contact us. They would not give a name or a phone number. Are you kidding me? The girl would not give me her name. My wife previously in the pool area was videoing my granddaughter swimming on her back, when this same young girl came up to her and said that no videoing or pictures could be taken which my wife was unaware of. She was very rude in her approach and my wife said that she didn't know and turned off her phone. When we cancelled at the desk, on the way out my wife was looking at her phone waiting for me at the desk when this same little girl asked my wife if she was taking a picture of her. My wife said no, she was looking at her personal phone. I asked this young girl her name, but she said she wasn't allowed to give it. I've read several reviews on this place, and evidently, they do give their names as worker's names were included in the reviews. I don't know why men and women, regardless of age don't dress in gender assigned locker rooms together, but this facility needs to review their policies because discrimination at so many levels is occurring here against the elderly, toddlers and young children, and perhaps racially as my granddaughter is biracial. This place is definitely a safety hazard. I am a retired environmental health and safety manager and there are so many violations that I could list for the facility if given an opportunity to perform a government rules inspection. I will go to a better gym. Be sure to thank your young female lifeguard on duty 5/02. She did me a big favor. I will gladly now drive 20 miles to Thibodaux where my safety is insured and my customer service reps respect both me and my family.

Everything is disgusting, not just the pool. Any other gym's upkeep is 10x better. It's sad. And do not leave anything here!!!! Forget lost and found. The staff throws it in the trash, like all my swimmer's shampoo/conditioner/body wash, swimsuit, expensive shoes... Yeah, these people are something. Highly recommend you go anywhere but here. I've finally decided it's worth it to travel 30 minutes out of my way instead just to avoid going here.

I highly recommend trying a few classes out!
