*** update : GO TO BBB AND LOOK AT THEIR REVIEWS. Everyone is complaining about the same thing…read more Wish I would have done my research. I signed my kids up for safesplash thinking they would be in an organized class. My kids had their first class a month ago , and I'm sorry to say I'm not convinced one bit. 30 minutes to teach 7+ kids in a small section of the gym pool that you have to go through the locker room to get there.. I don't know how I feel about that. My kids are boys 8 and 10 and I can't go through the men's locker room with them and they can't go through the women's locker room with me. There's no other way in! I'm not convinced my sons are going to learn anything with that much time and that much interaction. It seems a lot of it feels rushed and time is still wasted. I called shortly after the first class to say I changed my mind and this wasn't the right fit and if I could get a refund FOR WHAT I HAVNT DONE YET. They said they don't do refunds- I asked to speak to a manager and they said I would get a call back in 48 hrs- absolutely not after three days I called again this was a Saturday and I asked them why i hadn't gotten a call back- they said they've been really busy- hard to believe. I pushed for a call back by the end of the day, and nothing. I got an email 6 days after I had called- and that went into the next class that I had paid for that I wasn't planning on attending. I paid $230 to get my kids enrolled for what's remaining in April (i paid the prorated price of two Mondays of what was left of April) and I signed them up for every Monday - I paid that on 4/20/26. 5 DAYS LATER I'm getting charged $290 ! For what?! For the month of may? For April? We hadn't even gotten to may yet. Either way you're telling me that I would have already paid $520 and my kids have only had a 30 min crash course? Save your money. Get them enrolled into a a better organization- Last year I bought them both TWO SETS OF CLASSES FOR 8 weeks at Henry Moses in Renton which means they got 30 minutes a day for 4 days a week for 8 weeks in an actual pool- not sectioned off and I paid less than what I'm going to be paying monthly with safe splash for only once a week for 30 mins. 8 hrs a month vs 2 hours a month. I called and asked them for a refund and they said that NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THEY DONT DO REFUNDS. Seriously I asked for the manager, they said he would call me in 48 hours - 6 days later I get an email and I let them know my concern and they didn't care. I'm reiterating this because they are a scam - they are thieves. I tried disputing this TWO TIMES with my bank and both times denied "because I did in fact receive the services I paid for" no I didn't I only went to one class and they couldn't refund me what I didn't attend THEY ARE LIARS - instead they said I could make up the class COMPLETELY MISSING MY POINT- MY YOUNG CHILDREN ARE NOT GOING THROUGH THE LOCKER ROOM WHERE GROWN MEN ARE UNDRESSED AND IM NOT WASTING ANOTHER 30 MINUTES of "play time" swimming because thats literally all it is.

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!

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.

Our family has had two very different experiences at Kinderswimmer…read more My son was enrolled here for several years. Because the classes are only 30 minutes and shared among four children, it took some time (multiple years) for him to become a fully independent swimmer, but he did eventually get there. His instructors, especially Ms. Jada, were core to his success and we loved her. Unfortunately, the quality declined significantly by the time my daughter started. The facility seems to be facing high staff turnover, resulting in frequent class cancellations. When substitute teachers were brought in, they often appeared undertrained and disengaged. The turning point for us was a severe SAFETY INCIDENT that led to our immediate withdrawal. During a lesson, a substitute instructor remained in the shallow end with her back turned while my daughter was noticeably struggling in the deep end. This was not the first time I had witnessed an instructor positioning themselves poorly or failing to scan the pool. Despite another parent also shouting to get the instructor's attention, she did not respond. I ULTIMATELY HAD TO JUMP INTO THE POOL FULLY CLOTHED TO RESCUE MY DAUGHTER. Following the incident, the instructor never acknowledged what happened or checked on my daughter's well-being. Management did not contact me until I emailed them to withdraw and request a full refund. To their credit, the owners processed the refund without question and attempted to call me to discuss the matter. They also offered me a month of free lessons and tried to assure me the issue had been addressed with the teacher. However, there is no acceptable explanation for an instructor completely ignoring swimmers or standing on the wrong side of the pool. While I appreciate management's immediate response, safety and trust cannot be bought back with a credit.

If you do NOT live near Hazen, best to call 1st to double check if they are in fact open according to their schedule. Because they closed once in July WITHOUT notice.

This facility is absolutely disgusting. My son brought pinworms home twice (1 1/2 years apart)…read more Each time was on break from school so there was no possibility he picked them up at school. The first time was on winter break and two weeks after he swam here we discovered them. Figured it was a fluke and was unlikely to happen again so I signed him up for swim camp during the summer of '25. Ridding your home of pinworms is extremely tiring and difficult to do. Needless to say it caused myself a tremendous amount of stress. The teens that work here obviously don't clean/sanitize the locker rooms etc. I was fortunate to get a refund for the remainder of the summer he didn't go. I will never bring my family back here again.

The staff at British Swim School in Burien are nothing short of amazing! We have referred three…read morefriends with kids, based on our fantastic experience. Our kids have been going here for just over a year. They love it and they have progressed immensely. Our 6yr-old has gone from being a total non-swimmer to being a confident swimmer. He has some sensory/autism issues, which the staff were very willing and able to accommodate.

We just moved here and I was looking for a school for my two kids that offered high quality…read moreinstruction, and just as importantly, a safe environment where I know they will be in good, reliable hands. This swim school completely fits the bill. My first phone call with Tracey, the owner, gave me a great first impression of the school. She explained the programs they offered, answered all my questions, and helped me choose which classes were a good fit. Since I have two kids, she shuffled some things around in the schedule so that both kids can go on the same night with one lesson after the other. This is very convenient :) Also convenient is that all administrative stuff is available on their website, so I didn't have to fuss with printing out paperwork. On the first day of class, Tracey warmly greeted us at the door, and got us set up with everything we needed (including complimentary swim caps). For my 4-year-old's beginner class (Minnows), there were 4 students and 2 very capable, hands-on instructors. They were both excellent with kids and you can see that the kids are having a lot of fun. To get kids used to the water, they play a game where each kid gets a turn to do an activity for a short burst of time. They work in round robin fashion, and go very quickly, so as to keep it fun and make it less frightening. This method worked really great on my son because within the first couple of lessons, he overcame his fear of swimming. At the end of the class, they bring out toys and inflatables and this is my son's favorite part of the class. My daughter is in a more advanced class where they work on their strokes and swim laps. Again, great instruction, and she loves the class. By the way, the facilities are really nice. They are in the recreation building of a new apartment complex (Avana 522). The pool is a great size, nice and clean. Outside of the pool area there is a lobby with free wifi, sitting area with tv, and vending machines. It's been 3 weeks now. My kids LOVE their swim lessons and it's amazing to see all the progress they've made in such a short amount of time. All in all, we couldn't ask for any better. If I were to grade this school, I would give them a solid A+.
