This swim school is the best one around! It's a family owned business and you can tell they really…read morecare about kids and their experience. One of the best things about their pool is that it isn't overly chlorinated. They use a saltwater system. Some pools feel like they have so many chemicals, that you wouldn't want your kids to swim in them. The water is the perfect temperature. The teachers are very knowledgeable and experienced. Everyone is very friendly and the kids are always excited to come back every week. There is a waiting list to even get in here. If you're looking for somewhere to send your kids, this is definitely the place!

My daughter took lessons with them from when she was 4 until 8 years old. The things I really like…read moreabout them: - you pay on a monthly basis and get the time slot you want and keep it as long as you continue to pay. None of that re-enrolling after 10 weeks (or however long other swim programs are) and writing down 3 time slot choices (hoping to get your #1 choice). - group session is maximum of 3 swimmers! - consistent teachers. My daughter had teacher John for almost 2 years before seeing a different teacher. - program director is very receptive of comments. Example: one new teacher talked a lot in the beginning to the point the kids were no longer listening. Explained the situation to the program director and the following week, there was improvement. Short instructions, kids listened well, and ample swim time. My daughter would've stayed with Orca if it weren't for the fact that she wanted to join a swim team and needed that next-level program to improve her endurance and skill set. I always recommend first time swimmers to check out Orca.

Orca Swim School is amazing!!! Have you been reluctant to pursue swimming for whatever reason. Or…read moreseveral reasons? Have other lessons been a poor experience? Me, too. Orca's unique approach to swimming truly is a miracle. I just completed the 8 class beginner course in the Bothell pool. I am amazed they were able to overcome all my years of negative self-talk and experiences and now I am able to hang out comfortably in the deep end of the pool. They dispelled all my misconceptions I had about swimming and myself. Do you want to feel safe and actually enjoy yourself in this new phase of your life? Contact Orca Swim School. I am so glad I did. Truly enlightening.

I had heard about this location before, but I always took my kids to the local rec pool because it…read morewas the cheapest option. Color Me surprised when I saw that Waterbabies was offering a once a month free swim hour in the Kent rec catalog. So, we decided to give it a try. It's only about 16 minutes from my house so it's not too far to go. Getting there was not very tricky. I followed my GPS, which led me behind a bar at the far end of a business complex. Parking has always been easy to find, even a close spot near the door. We've been here three times since and my girls love going. To be honest, I love going too. But what sets it apart from other pools is that they have really awesome foam toys that I had never seen before, like a floating foam slide and a foam canoe that fits two. They also have lots of handheld toys, rings, and goggles to use. They have the larger pool, which is 4 ft throughout, and they have a smaller one by the door. My one gripe with using the local pool was that it was always a fight to get a shower afterwards...But not here. We've always been able to walk right into the changing room, shower with pleasantly hot water, and know that our belongings are safely stored in one of their lockers. One convenience feature I also saw was a pack and play available for moms with babies that need corralling. All of the staff is very nice, with even keel, reasonable energy. You don't get overtalked to, but everybody is informed in case you have questions. It's been a really great experience coming here and I hope they continue to offer this monthly family swim!

Update they made it right added a few stars…read more I had my daughter's birthday here. We weren't impressed by the lack of communication and how long it took to get a reply and book the party. It's nice you have the entire space for just your group and you can use all the water toys they have. Which is a ton of fun toys. The party space was a good size for the group of 12 kids but their wasn't a lot of extra chairs for the adults. I liked that we were allowed to tape decorations. You are responsible for setting up the whole room. The tables were all folded in the corner and chairs in stacks. The huge negative was the pizza package that was clearly stated on the website to include juice, water, plates, napkins, and forks... When we ordered it it wasn't mentioned they didn't include those anymore we found out a few minutes before the party was going to start! One of us had to run to the store to buy the needed things and missed half the swimming time for my daughter's birthday. If it was just me I don't know what I would have been able to do to get the needed supplies and watch my kids... If we had known none of those were included and it was only the pizza I could have bought and picked up the pizza for a lot cheaper since dominos is in the same complex as the pool. And I would have been prepared with the items we needed.

I did a Google search of places that had swimming lessons and this place popped up. It looked like…read moreit had good reviews as well. I signed up. It was a little confusing because when I signed up, my credit card wasnt charged. For 2 kids, the initial price was $250, I believe. After a couple of days, I got charged and I logged in and it showed the days we were enrolled. The business looks like a house swimming pool. If the class is full it's 4 kids max for one teacher. I think each kid has about 4-6interactions for a half hour. One trip to the other side of the pool is considered an interaction in my observation. I could be wrong. Once the kids get to the other side, they are instructed to wait. During the waiting period, they need to put both hands on the wall. There's no play time -just waiting and instructing when you have one-on-one time. Once you're time is up, you are expected to leave the pool, I feel like. I suggest getting all ready to go before your scheduled time cuz the 1/2 hr goes by fast. You want to get the most out of the time you have. I like that the pool is heated and it's a good size. There's a lot of waiting time. I mean, a lot, if class is full.

We have been taking classes here since last year with Ms Audrey…read more Ms Audrey is amazing! My kid was reluctant to go to swimming classes after a long break but when I told her Ms Audrey will be taking the classes, she readily agreed. Ms Audrey is punctual, engaging and very friendly. She deals with the kids very patiently and is aware of their skill levels hence teaching them as per their needs. My kid has learnt a lot with her and is confident in getting into water. The pool is clean and warm enough that my kid has never complained about the water being cold. Sufficient parking is available.

I tried to explain to them that he is high functioning and is able to listen to instructions, in addition I would be there during the class. The lady put me on hold after telling me about an adaptive aquatics class they offer only to come back and tell me they do not offer this in the state of Washington They refused to talk about the policy and no manager was available. To be honest I rarely post negative reviews but this level of discrimination is ridiculous. How do you refuse to teach a kid how to swim because of a diagnosis? Super disappointed will definitely not be recommended to anybody. Luckily there are better companies that have been much more helpful.

It seems like there's a lot of extra work to have swim classes at this location. I cannot tell you…read morehow many times in the last few months they have canceled the classes because they were understaffed or somebody called out sick last minute. There were times where it was two weeks in a row, and somehow we are given makeups that expire within two weeks. Additionally, you are only given one make up class per month, so if you happen to miss more than one, they will not provide a "make up token". Due to the missed classes and the understaffing we have missed out on quite a few. They also are very bad communicating because we have shown up to the pool with no teachers and no classes going on. It's a big waste of time. Not to mention that we are not allowed to use the dressing rooms or showers at LA fitness. You can get cramped trying to dress a toddler in a tiny pop-up changing booth. LA fitness certainly makes you feel like second class citizens.

Amanda S. is the ultimate instructor!…read more I had previously put my 2 children in the YMCA swim lessons as well as Hazen High School swim lessons, with failure. When we started with SafeSplash, I feel we were extremely lucky to find this program and the team of instructors, but more than anything the instructor Amanda S. is incredibly in tune with the students, both individually and within groups. Amanda S. is a swim instructor as well a school teacher and I believe this extensive experience and her take-charge attitude really encouraged and supported my children's confidence in the water, as well as taught them (and currently teaching them) this important life skill. Thank you SafeSplash, and thank you to Miss Amanda S.! We are forever grateful and appreciative!

The hot tub is not always hot which is concering from a health code standpoint - last time it was quite lukewarm actually, and we even saw someone temp check it and do nothing about it..? They offer classes but not a lot of time options (especially for a work day), and classes fill up really fast and are too packed so I stopped going. You need to get there 20 min early to really claim a spot. So with all of this, their memberships seem to be way too expensive... if you just want to go to the gym, why is the cost almost 100 for a person?

They are both confident and comfortable in the water to the point that my 5 year old is already talking about swim team.
