On the day of the party, Laly stepped in and kept everything running smoothly. She organized the flow, supported the kids, and created a fun atmosphere from the moment we arrived. Fay, Tim, and Colin brought great energy and helped the kids stay engaged and excited. We chose the 2-4 ft pool and it worked perfectly for our group. Our guests ranged from 2 years old to 11 and every child found something fun to do. The team led age appropriate games and the kids loved every minute. We booked a 2.5 hour party and the timing felt just right. Music played throughout the event and the party room sat right next to the pool, which kept the whole celebration lively and convenient. The staff even helped us load and unload our supplies, which made the day feel even easier. Waterworks Aquatics gave our family a memorable celebration and our birthday boy still talks about it with a huge smile. I recommend this location and this team without hesitation.

Finally when it sunk in the third time, third lesson, he responded, "but that's how I get his attention..." From then on he would YELL at my 8 yr old son, lol. Secondly, they can cancel on you and make it into a makeup lesson when their own instructor cancels and then I'm blocked out from using that make up lesson unless I can use it right away. THEY are controlling this! And at $72/lesson....for 20 minutes. And now they are telling me Im losing three classes altogether unless I BUY more classes. These guys are not about the parents. Not about the kids. It's just a business. Ridiculous!

She doesn't want anybody else but her. Jocelynn has been her instructor since level one. Jocelynn is very professional at teaching my daughter. She quickly identify any issues when it happens and helped her fixed it right away and master it with her feet, legs, hands, and arms movement. Jocelyn waste no time in teaching Ashlyn once she's in the pool. Because of Jocelynn, Ashlyn is in level 10 and is about to pass the level. As levels are higher it gets harder. Before she would get really tired for swimming without stopping and not she has no problem swimming all the way to the end of her lesson which is two lessons every time I booked her and that would be 40 minutes, 20 minutes each lesson. I see a lot of improvement as weeks goes by and can't believed what my 8 year old daughter can do that even her parents can't do under water especially with diving, spinning and turning, breaststroke, etc. Thanks Jocelynn you're the best.

We started swim classes in September of last year, but over the first several months there was…read moreminimal progress. Our child is particularly sensitive and anxious in the water, and likely needed a more tailored, confidence-based approach. We made an effort to encourage her to push through and stay consistent with the program. However, during that time her discomfort increased, and she became more resistant to participating in lessons--to the point where we were close to discontinuing classes altogether. We later had two or three makeup sessions with Stephanie, during which we observed clear and immediate improvement. After switching our regular schedule to a more suitable day for us and having Stephanie as the permanent instructor, the progress accelerated significantly. In less than a month, our child became noticeably more comfortable in the water. She no longer shows the same level of fear. This is not a reflection on the previous instructor's ability, but rather a difference in fit and teaching approach. The connection and method used by Stephanie have proven to be more effective for our child's needs. There was a recent comment from staff noting that our child does not meet Level 3 criteria. While we understand that evaluations follow established standards, our primary goal is water safety, confidence, and functional swimming ability. From that perspective, the progress made in the past month is substantial and meaningful, especially compared to the prior seven months, and it's largely thanks to Stephanie. Overall, we value the measurable improvement in our child's comfort and capability in the water.
