I think it's great because it gets so hot in Bakersfield in the summer time and it's a great family place for everyone. With the swimming pools and the waterslides, it's just a blast to be there. I hope everybody's enjoying it. Also there is the skating rink right next door and around the corner a movie theater, so there is so much to do. Love it and highly recommend it.

I highly recommend swim lessons through the City of Lancaster at this location - Webber Pool…read more My 7 year old had pretty strong water anxiety because when he took swim lessons in Santa Clarita, the swim instructor would promise he wouldn't push his head under water, and then as soon as he relaxed, he would do exactly that. Then of course my son would choke badly because he had no warning. I scolded the instructor and told him not to do that...and then he did it again. I complained to the manager in Santa Clarita, and he very kindly apologized, but the damage was done. My son went from loving the water to being petrified. I took him to my brother's pool to try to play with him and get him over it, and he clung to me like a barnacle. So this summer we gave the lessons at City of Lancaster a try. My poor son was so worried, that he was trembling the entire ride there. He was afraid the instructor would lie to him and scare him on purpose like the last one did. Do you know how long it took for his Webber Pool instructor, Garrett, to gain his trust, and get him over his fear? Exactly ONE lesson. By the end of that lesson, he had dipped his face in the water and jumped off the edge of the pool into his arms, shrieking with happiness. Garrett gained my son's trust, and he kept it. He was so encouraging and relaxed that my son gained confidence in himself immediately. He went from shivering with anxiety the entire ride there, to gleefully telling everyone he met at the grocer store that he just came from swim class and he loved swim class and he got to jump in the water and do you like swimming cuz I love swimming... I am so happy! This means so much to me that my boy regained his love of water. A manager in Lancaster told me the instructors all use the methods recommended by the Red Cross. When I look at the other classes going on, all of the kids look like they are having fun, and the instructors all seem kind and patient. The pool was very clean, and there was a lifeguard on duty. Excellent, confidence-inspiring instruction, clean pool, and lots of fun. Give it a try if you are looking for swim lessons for your little one.

I always try to leave honest reviews based on my experiences, and unfortunately our experience at…read morethis swim school was disappointing. I hope sharing what happened helps other parents make an informed decision. My child was a complete beginner. After only his third swim lesson, one of the coaches loudly said, "He's everything but nowhere near ready." My child heard the comment. Whether the coach intended it that way or not, saying something like this loudly within earshot of a young beginner is discouraging and unprofessional. Beginners are there to learn, and feedback should be constructive, especially for young children. As the weeks went on, a different coach was assigned to my child, and things initially improved. Then, without much explanation, my child was moved up to the next level. I wasn't concerned about him advancing quickly. In fact, I would have been perfectly happy for him to stay at his current level longer. My priority is that he truly masters the skills required for each level before moving on. The promotion felt rushed, and no one clearly explained why he was ready. The communication afterward was equally disappointing. We were told by one swim manager to change to a different class time because of the level change. When we returned, another swim manager looked at the schedule and told us we were "supposed to be in the 12:30 class but didn't come and wanted to change the schedule," making it sound as though we had caused the problem, even though we were simply following the instructions given to us by their own staff. When I asked which coach my child would have, I was met with a sarcastic response: "You don't remember the last coach you were with?" This was a perfectly reasonable question because my child had just moved to a new level, and I knew coach assignments could change. What made this interaction especially disappointing was that the parent immediately before us had asked the same question and was answered politely and cheerfully. When I asked, I received a sarcastic response instead. The contrast in how we were treated was difficult to ignore and left me feeling unwelcome and disrespected. Things became even more uncomfortable when my child was initially assigned to one coach, who audibly sighed upon seeing the assignment. He was then reassigned twice before ultimately ending up with the same coach who had previously made the "nowhere near ready" comment. During that lesson, I watched closely because my child was visibly anxious. The coach seemed impatient and dismissive. At one point, he aggressively pulled up the sleeve of my child's rash guard instead of calmly helping him. My child would try to communicate, but the coach often seemed more focused on getting him to comply than listening to what he was trying to say. Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated observation. Throughout the program, I saw other coaches lose their patience with young children as well. I witnessed coaches speaking to children in irritated tones, yelling instructions while children were already crying, and continuing to push them instead of helping them calm down and regain confidence. I understand that teaching swimming requires firmness and that safety is the priority, but there is a significant difference between being firm and showing little empathy toward frightened beginners. Swimming is not just about teaching strokes. It's about building confidence and trust, especially for young children who may already be nervous in the water. Patience, encouragement, and kindness are just as important as technique. We completed the program because it had already been paid for, but this experience left us disappointed. We will not be returning and will be looking for a swim school where young beginners are treated with more patience, empathy, respect, and professionalism.
