I went in to the lessons trying not to get my hopes up as I had been disappointed with other area lessons, but after the first lesson I was pleasantly surprised. The lessons take place in her back yard and she employs several staff members. Brittany and her staff are very professional and give the best lessons in the Portage/Kalamazoo area. My children have participated in her group and private lessons and have been very satisfied with both. If you have children with special needs, Brittany's Swim school does a great job accommodating for all types of students. My oldest daughter is autistic and I am truly amazed how well Brittany and her staff work with her. The schedule is posted each summer in April/May on Brittany's website (www.brittanysswimschool.com) The lessons fill up quick, so if your interested in lessons, it's important to call right away!

The main issue I've had is unsanitary behavior.in the men's locker room. Despite all the signs about washing before getting in the hot tub or cold plunge and wearing proper swim attire, guys (particularly under 25 yo crowd) will routinely use the sauna or steam room, and then hop right in the hot tub or cold plunge with nothing but underwear. Even worse, they throw their underwear in the swim suit water extractor. The locker rooms often smell like sewage. I've even been swimming laps only to see a bunch of high school or early college aged males jumping in the pool with only underwear... there were little kids at the pool! I spoke up that time, and they actually were surprised saying they had done it multiple times. Staff has been informed but does not enforce. The response I've received is, "it's above my pay grade." Upper level management and female staff seem to care more about this, but nothing has been done that actually fixes the issue. Apart from this it would be a 4/5 rating overall.

Coaches are around to help with proper form and correct exercises if needed. Any type of machine or weights/mats is available. Most any class you want- they have. They also have a full size pool, a smaller shallower pool, a hot pool along with a spine pool. Showers and Saunas in the locker rooms. There's a track for walking / running. Towels and sanitary wipes. The place is clean, clean, clean. It's wonderful to be around a huge variety of ages/ people. Price might be a bit high but is reasonable for what you get. I would highly recommend this fitness center.

I got to try a few things out during an open house, and was pleasantly surprised at the fun activities available. Rowing was my favorite, as it was the easiest to figure out, although we also tried rope climbing, tire flipping, and rock climbing. The rock climbing was very fun, and you actually go up pretty far. I wasn't able to see what the pool was like, as I got there a bit late, but I've heard nothing but good things. One really wonderful thing I was so grateful for was the fact that there was a cheap little store right at the exit/entrance, so you could get yourself a few snacks and a drink after all that hard work, or for later on.

If you didn't listen- you got kicked out. I felt safe with my young kids there that they were being watched by effective guards and other people weren't putting them in uncomfortable positions. We went yesterday and today and there was so much rough horseplay, terrible language and unsafe behavior and no one did anything about it. At one point a lifeguard asked the manager to kick people out and he didn't follow through with it. Today there was a huge intact Mastiff dog on the pool deck- what? I want to love this Kalamazoo institution, but someone in charge needs to not worry about being everyone's friend and start taking action on poor behavior.

The only problem was the locker room was not very clean with toilet paper all over the place and confusing. Also one end of the pool is very shallow not ideal for flip turns but it works.

My kids much prefer the heated pool side equipped with a small slide, set depth entrance, lazy river (no tubes), and small pool to play or shoot hoops. There are benches build into the pool so parents can sit in the warm water while kiddos splash and play around.

There's a lap pool, and if this is your thing, check the times for lap swims. Sometimes it is crowded and you have to share a lane, and sometimes it isn't. Find your time! There is a play area that is wonderful - separate from the large pool. It has a slide for littles, a gradual walk in with splash fountains, and then you round the corner and can walk in a waist-deep pool (or do very short laps) - there can be a basketball hoop there. There's also a sort of lazy river with benches that you can walk around. This, too, has open hours that you can pay a small fee to use. The Aquatic Center is a fantastic community resource!

Our frustration came entirely from the billing and makeup policies, which ended up being extremely difficult for our family to navigate. With two working parents and young kids, flexibility matters, and unfortunately there really isn't any. When you miss a class, you receive a makeup token, but you can't use it toward billing or apply it to your normal class time. The only option is scheduling an additional class outside your regular slot, essentially asking families to come twice in one week just to avoid losing the value of what they've already paid for. That simply isn't realistic for many families. We communicated with Lauren in the front office, and while communication was polite, there was zero flexibility offered regarding makeup classes or billing options. The policies were presented as non-negotiable, with no alternative solutions for families who simply can't make extra classes work. To make matters worse, makeup credits expire when you end lessons, and you're still required to give 30 days notice, meaning unused credits just disappear. There's no refund option or billing credit, even when circumstances make scheduling extra lessons difficult. The instructors were great, but the rigid policies and lack of flexibility from administration made the overall experience disappointing. For a program serving young kids and busy parents, flexibility should really be part of the model.

For Decades I've been coming to do laps here periodically throughout the years, it was easy to pay, to swim, then have a locker room to prepare for your work day afterwards. NOT ANYMORE! You arrive and they send you to a Universal Locker room with no heads up! Not cool early in the morning before my coffee which is how I have swam here since FOREVER, Also I wasn't the only one overwhelmed, there was an 80 year old Grandmother Not aware she is in a Universal Locker Room, also she wasn't aware that the glass she was changing in front of can be viewed from outside. She also had a hearing problem and the front staff just pushed her along without any explanation like they did me! All I needed was a Pool and a Woman's locker Room like I was getting my whole life coming to this location! It's made for the masses! Not for us Hollanders who like things simple and functional. The new layout has taken my small town pool and turned it to "Disney world" next they might add a monorail My suggestion have a pool and locker room just for us who want to pay, use and shower in private in a Woman's Only locker room like when we were younger here in Our Home Town!
