Waterworks Aquatics delivered an incredible experience for my child's 5th birthday party. Nancy…read moreguided me through every detail before the event and she handled each step with confidence and care. She made the planning process feel easy. On the day of the party, Laly stepped in and kept everything running smoothly. She organized the flow, supported the kids, and created a fun atmosphere from the moment we arrived. Fay, Tim, and Colin brought great energy and helped the kids stay engaged and excited. We chose the 2-4 ft pool and it worked perfectly for our group. Our guests ranged from 2 years old to 11 and every child found something fun to do. The team led age appropriate games and the kids loved every minute. We booked a 2.5 hour party and the timing felt just right. Music played throughout the event and the party room sat right next to the pool, which kept the whole celebration lively and convenient. The staff even helped us load and unload our supplies, which made the day feel even easier. Waterworks Aquatics gave our family a memorable celebration and our birthday boy still talks about it with a huge smile. I recommend this location and this team without hesitation.

I cannot say enough good things about Blue Buoy Swim School! After a really negative experience at…read moreanother swim program (Aquatots), my daughter was left scared and resistant to getting in the water. A friend recommended Blue Buoy, and I am SO glad we gave it a try. From the very first trial class with Coach Turner, my daughter felt comfortable and safe. She usually hates putting her head in the water, but with his gentle guidance and encouragement, she did it without hesitation--something I never thought I'd see so soon! We've now been coming for 2 months, and the progress she has made is incredible. Not only has her confidence grown, but her skills in the water have improved so much. The staff is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about the kids. The environment feels warm and supportive, which makes all the difference. Coach turner really knows how to work with the kiddos ! If you're looking for a swim school that builds trust, confidence, and real results, Blue Buoy is the place to go. I'm so thankful we found them!

Brought our Nephew here for a trial small beginner group class on a Saturday. Went great, the…read moreinstructor was amazing and the nephew loved it. Went to sign up for another class, however we were told by scheduling after the fact that the trial class was not just a trial class but a tested/assessment class (we were never disclosed that prior), fine no worries. Then we're told our nephew has been assessed to be a beginner - level 1 (which is fine that's what we signed him up for beginner lesson group class). Then we're told the instructor only teaches level-4 swimmers on Saturdays and teaches beginners during the week during extremely rough times for traffic and such. We end up saying fine, we'll make it work and we sign up for the more difficult time for the beginner small group class, we'll accomodate. The weekday class goes great...We get a call the next day to pay for a long term session (which we intended to do anyway) and then they tell us that the instructor claims our nephew insteads needs more costly private lessons rather than small group lessons. At this point the whole situation has become comical. As you can read and detail above. It seems very much like a bait and switch tactic...sign up for an great timed trial class, have your swimmer bond with an instructor and then get told your little swimmer was actually tested and needs to be put either with a different instructor or the same instructor at a difficult time slot...then once you agree to that they then decide your little swimmer needs much more expensive private lessons instead of the group lessons you signed up for. Mind you we made it very clear during all interactions that we're pretty tight on budget and that seems to have been lost on them. Overall they have solid instrutors and a nice facility but it seems there's a lot of underlining bait and switch tactics happening at the back office which makes us no longer want to go here which is sad because our nephew was bonding with the instructor.

As a mom, that means everything. We're so grateful we found her and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an instructor that's both knowledgeable and incredible with little ones.

Our 6-year old has a newly found passion for swimming thanks to British Swim School. He is getting better by every visit, and is laser-focused, and it certainly helps to be indoors especially during the fall and winter months. We have seen our son blossom into an avid swimmer for his age, learning back and front strokes, butterflies, and that "dolphin" swim :). He is progressing and is taking swimming very seriously. We recommend British Swim School at this particular location, due to the level of support we receive and facility and amenities (easy rinse-off after the swim lesson). It is also worth noting that no gym membership is required to partake in this activity! -Arjan, Molly, and Raj B.

Excellent swimming school for all ages!…read more My baby loves her swimming lessons with Jessica. She acclimated and learnt so much in just a few lessons. Jessica is a wonderful instructor and just has her way of teaching a baby infant survival skills. The pool has never been crowded, there's a lot of space and you get undivided attention. This was a big factor in opting for them over Aqua-Tots (my child was too distracted as there were so many children and so much going on). Having the restrooms and shower facilities is convenient. They also set up a changing table and small tents as an option. The entire staff is wonderful and professional- Margie, Aleena, Sophia and the instructors Jessica and Sasha.

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!

Steam room lacks a bit of steam power, sauna should 1000% be 5-10 degrees hotter at the minimum. They never have the cold eucalyptus towels stocked , like never. And their big towels are so flimsy and small. They really should consider investing in better quality materials for their amenities. This is very close to being a stellar perfect gym. Lastly, the techno gym machines and equipment are the best. The most comfortable and highest quality machines I've ever used. Tops equinox and most of lifetimes machines for sure.
