Wonderful swim school with great, attentive, patient; and loving instructors. Our kiddos, Anna (5)…read moreand Albert Jr. (2), have been coming for a few months now. We've seen their progression catapult! You know kids enjoy what they're learning when they reenact the swim lessons in the bathtub. Shout outs to coach Joss (sp?) and Gabby! Our kids love them. There have been alternate coaches that they've enjoyed too. After each class, the instructor will provide positive and constructive feedback to help each child grow. 2x/week is recommended for repetition and retention. There's a promo going on for the month of December. Pay upfront for 6 months (1 month free) or 12 months (2 months free) and a discount off merch. Hop on it if your budget allows. Try out Aqua-Tots!

The entire environment is welcoming, professional, and very family-friendly. Brett at the front desk is awesome -- always helpful, friendly, and organized, which makes scheduling and check-in seamless. Kaylee is a fantastic instructor who is patient, encouraging, and great with kids. She makes learning fun while building real confidence and skills in the water. Highly recommend Big Blue Swim School to any parents looking for high-quality swim instruction and a supportive team!

I had an incident at this location in May 2025 that has stayed with me ever since…read more During my daughter's swim lesson, the instructor was supervising three children. At the same time, a sales representative was speaking with me about membership options. While talking, I repeatedly looked over at my daughter and eventually realized I could no longer see her head above the water. I immediately got up to check on her and found her struggling and gasping for air. What was most concerning was that the instructor never acknowledged what had happened or spoke to me about it afterward. Instead, a staff member simply showed my daughter how to spit the water out. As a parent, that response felt dismissive given how serious the situation could have been. Drownings can happen quickly and silently. Had I assumed my child was being adequately watched and not continued checking on her myself, I don't even want to think about what could have happened. I later spoke with Tanner regarding the incident, but at no point did I receive an apology or any acknowledgment of the seriousness of the situation. I am sharing this review to encourage parents to remain vigilant, even when their children are in a supervised lesson. While parents should absolutely pay attention to their children, a swim school also has a responsibility to actively supervise the children in its care. Sometimes the most dangerous moments happen when everyone assumes someone else is watching.

We tried multiple different places, group swimming, nothing seemed to fit and most coaches didn't understand how to help my son. I can't say enough wonderful things about Coach Kim. Only 4/5 sessions with her and my son completely changed his view on swimming. He's confident and isn't scared of trying to do new things in the water. We absolutely can't wait for next summer!! Thank you so much Coach Kim!!! See you next summer!!

So when I tell you poor Genesis at the front desk…read moremanaged the several calls I made trying to get my son signed up and booked for lessons this month with all the patience and professionalism in the world- I mean it! She was very kind and graceful as I navigated the app and many schedules of the household over the phone. She thoroughly explained the current promo they have going on right now and ultimately got us all signed up for what we needed. We had our free trial class with Chris last week and I was so pleased with how friendly, soft-spoken, and patient he was with my son. My son didn't even want to go into the water for the first 10 min of the 30 min class, and Chris just continued to ask if he was ready, all the while still holding lesson and staying attentive to the other child who was in the same class. Eventually, my kiddo felt confident enough to join in and by the end of the session he was having an absolute blast. We are looking forward to continuing our swim journey here with this crew!

My daughter loves being here, and really learned so much after about four classes. She's already floating on her back all on her own, and able to push off the wall to swim towards the instructor. Super special shout out to Christian, who is her main instructor. He's been so patience and aware of all of his students. Also, Perry and other substitute instructors are just as great, which ensures consistency. The facility is well maintained and very clean. You can tell they make sure to provide a clean and safe environment for the kids.

We absolutely love water works, and will miss our weekly sessions there!…read more My daughter began weekly private swim lessons at age 3 and is now a better swimmer than most adults I know, thanks to her instructor, Maxim. The way he interacts with children, motivates them while keeping classes silly and fun, is truly impressive. The company itself is also incredibly helpful. My daughter had a broken leg that prevented her from swimming, and the team helped us put our lessons on pause without forfeiting her recurring slot with Maxim, and even refunded us for her missed lesson the weekend prior. We've been incredibly happy with our time at Waterworks, both the customer service and professionalism of all the staff, as well as the skills Maxim helped our daughter learn.

We did our best to keep our boy with the same coaches throughout his lessons in order to progress. The only reason I did not get five stars is because of the cost for value. The 30 minute class is really only 25 minutes at most and in a 4:1 lesson that's just over 6 minutes of personal attention per kid. Honestly $30-$40 for 6 minutes is just too expensive. We are sad to stop lessons as we finally saw a great improvement in the past 3 weeks of the three months we did, but we hope to take what he learned and practice with him over summer.
