Honestly, this was one of the most frustrating experiences I've had at VIVO…read more We had the court booked in advance through a league that regularly uses this facility, so this isn't a one-off visit. We've consistently run into issues with equipment setup here, and this night was easily the worst. We showed up expecting the court to be ready, and the volleyball net wasn't even set up. After asking for help, the staff member who came down brought equipment that clearly hadn't been checked. One of the posts had a snapped rope, and the net was completely tangled, which took a long time to rethread and fix. What really stood out was the lack of urgency and accountability. We were told this was the only net available, and then the staff member just left us there with no solution. Meanwhile, a full group of people who booked and paid for the court were stuck standing around trying to fix broken equipment themselves. I went back upstairs a second time to the front desk asking for help, either to find replacement equipment or another staff member who could actually assist. Eventually, I ended up going into their staff storage area myself as a customer, where I found multiple usable replacement posts sitting there the entire time. So the equipment was available, it just wasn't provided. By the time everything was finally set up, we were over a half hour into our booking and it threw off the entire night. At this point, it's not just frustrating, it's a pattern. For a facility that has repeat bookings from organized leagues, this level of disorganization and lack of preparation just isn't acceptable.

I'd already taken my son to several lakes and even the ocean. He loves water. She charges 600 for four weekly 10- min classes which is triple what is charged elsewhere Money was no object as we thought we were doing the right thing Came first session. It's was a tiny pool with murky water in a dingy room. Kids before us cried nonstop, before hitting the pool, while in the pool and after which was the FIRST red flag we missed. We had already taken our son to poop where kids enjoyed learning how to swim and the process. It was our son to enter the water. He wasn't crying as he had no idea what was about to happen neither did we. Holly Murray ( the psychopathic so- called instructor) took him from me and turned around so we could not see his face. That was the SECOND red flag we missed. 2 minutes in, our 7 month old started vomiting crying. She put the blame on us having fled him an hour before. We had no idea what happened as we could not see what she was doing with him. Come the second session, he was crying nonstop along with other kids before and after his class. Just imagine the distressing scene. My wife and I had had a chat with her and reassured that it's not a big deal and all kids cry and eventually he will learn swimming. ( with an attitude of course) We decided to give the whole thing two weeks( 8 sessions) to see if things change. The second week , Monday I managed to see what see does in the water. Imagine being helpless in the water swallowing water nonstop and going through the feeling of drawing for 10 min. Had I seen that scene I would have stopped the whole thing right away. He was suffering so much that she herself cut the 5th session short ( I have everything recorded and DOCUMENTED) That was the last straw. We went home sensing not being right. I googled her name guess what popped up https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/calgary-parents-hope-lessons-can-prevent-toddler-drownings-1.1412933 Yes. The THIRD red flag we missed. I immediately contacted her asked to discontinue the class and get a refund. She replied I can only give you half refund minus a 50 dollar administration fee IF she can find a replacement for our son to fill the slot. If read the article above, you realize that she , as she quotes she receives 100 calls from parents asking for a spot in her classes And yet she cannot find a replacement! Food for thoughts I felt responsible to write this review, as a parent and human being. Don't allow this psychopathic woman , Holly Murray, experiment on your child hoping that he/she might float for 5 seconds while being tortured and going through the dreadful feeling and experience of drawing and swallowing poop water. Is that how we learned how to swim? Do you really want your child to develop lifetime phobias and complexes? I'm begging you to read the article and stay away from this phoney, sham excuse of an instructor, Holly Murray You can contact me and I'd be happy to share footage of every session

He will take advantage of a young drivers excitement and over confidence in their own skills. He will not communicate with the parent of the child, even when the parent is the one signing up and doing the contract. As he believes they are adults. He will take the money, then give a test that is set up like the real road test, with automatic failures. If that happens the child fails his course, then he will charge another amount for another test, at a random date over a month away. Making the child have to pass 2 road tests minimum with automatic failures to be able to achieve their license. If your child can't pass his course, which he is teaching you will waste $900 as you will not get the Driving course certificate. He will not let the parent know that the child may not pass, he will let the child take his final exam knowing full well they will fail.Then he gets to charge another fee to make more money. This has been a case of a man taking advantage of people's trust and a young drivers excitement. If you need to know more you can PM me. I just don't want any other family to have to experience this man's poor business.
