No complaints, really. I came here to both lap swim and to dive. For diving, they have two 1-meter…read moreboards and one 3-meter board. The lifeguards, though young, are very professional and good at their jobs plus prompt to answer any questions. There's ample room for lap swimming plus a children's shallow kiddie pool and another shallow area for people to just splash around if not lap swimming--plus the diving well. Some reviewers have commented on high school swim teams coming here to practice: apparently the deal is for some to come here, some to Westside, some go to UF as well. Until the School Board builds its own aquatics facility (unlikely), that will probably be how things go. (Whereas Jacksonville high schools in contrast have their own swimming pools on site in many cases.) School swim teams need places to practice, so this is a logical solution and I don't see it as impinging much on other patrons. Other reviewers (here and elsewhere) have complained some kids are loud and disrespectful: I did not experience that, yeah, kids can be loud but all I encountered were very polite. The locker rooms: the men's locker room is indeed old, probably original. I did not find it dirty however. Unlike the renovated Westside (Cherry) Pool, it actually has enough lockers to accommodate for two swim teams--or probably more. That's important if you're having meets here. I don't think Westside with its renovations provides that level of locker room space. So, as a diver and swimmer, no complaints here. Yeah, it's not a brand new nor renovated facility but clean and well-run: it meets my criteria certainly.

Our family has been involved with Danscompany for over 12 years and even though my children are grown, we all continue to be actively involved in Danscompany!

We will always be thankful and we always encourage others looking for a fair, loving and unique environment for their child/children to learn & appreciate the Arts- DCOG is a perfect fit!

Our family was at Oak Hall for way longer than we should have. It was announced recently that their…read moreHead of School resigned. Their Lower School principal also resigned recently to relocate (although many would say that was a good thing). The academics at Oak Hall are not great in my opinion and the favoritism, again in my opinion, is unlike anything I've ever seen. Unless you are a big donor or friends with an administrator please don't even consider Oak Hall. Over the last few years many of the best teachers and brightest students have left for Frazier or other private schools. I also know for a fact about behavior issues and racism that have occurred that would shock you. The fancy gates and prestigious price tag status entice many families until they actually get to know the school. Some of their buildings are around 50 years old and are in desperate need of work. After 'nationwide searches' they tend to hire parents or people that many teachers and parents don't even want.

It's epically nicer now and offers many more food options and college resources compared to what was offered in the distant past. Wow! I would so want to come back here to do it all again...of course, if I were only 25 years younger. LOL. We certainly didn't have a Starbucks! And a Panda? You know I loves me some Panda Express. ;) If you're a student here...man, you're so lucky. The Reitz Union has come a long, long way, baby! Great space for new students, current students, parents and visitors to get a lay of the land and get newly acquainted with student life at the university. Nice. Plenty of FREE events for students.

Usual deal for the…read morestudent clinic is $30/hour, but they are running a special for Saturdays, $45 for two people. The lobby is very pleasant and professional looking, but they make you sign-in at this other section and it in general very roundabout and slightly confusing on where to go. You also have a choice of male or female therapist (or either) when you call to make an appointment which was a nice touch. The room is dimly lit and is divided by curtains with other appointments with music playing in the background. You can hear other people talking which isn't too distracting but might be for some people. My therapist was very professional and told me I could undress down to whatever I was comfortable doing. It was my first time getting a massage, but she was very sweet and offered me a full body massage, which felt amazing. Very excited to come here again!

Anyway, I came in one Saturday morning with my boyfriend and his dad. Due to a special going on that day we paid for the price of 2.5 massages (we got one half off). The process is as follows: You come in, you fill out a sheet about what parts of your body you need/want worked on, a student comes in and talks to you about what you filled out on the sheet, you walk into a room divided by sheets. You undress to your level of comfort and the student focuses on the areas you talked about. You can talk as much, or as little, as you wish to the student. I heard a lot of conversations going on (my student was very quiet, so not too much communication going on there) After your massage you get dressed, head back to the reception area, make comments on the student's book and you talk to the student about how your massage went. Then you pay and you're off to your regular day. My boyfriend and his dad had really good massage therapist students, while mine was so-so and very awkward (her name escapes me at the moment). Anyway, I greatly recommend this place. It's a great value for a mediocre-to-good massage!

While there were some flaws, the good far outweighed them. I never got the opportunity to formally thank the teachers who I have to say looking back contributed to our children's growth significantly in such a short period of time. Our children were taught by Ms Liz and Ms Bre (3 year old classroom) who were excellent/ caring teachers- who our kids remember till today and ask if they are going to back! We also had a one year old at the time who they noticed was a little advanced and moved to the two year old class- which I think only further enhanced his fast pace growth. Thanks to them he was potty trained with dry nap-time/ night dippers before 3 years old. Thank you for all you have done, we truly appreciate our experience. Another big thank you to the Assistant Director Ms Breon who was always so helpful regarding administrative items. If you are in Gainesville and looking for a daycare give them a try!
