No big deal. Don't go to the bathroom barefoot. We all know this, but just a reminder. The wave pool is FOR REAL. I saw it stopped multiple times to help kids out, and I took quite a big of water up the nose. I still love it. Lazy River = A+++ Plenty of little kid stuff too, just make sure you have the right ratio of little kid to older kid/adult buddies The food is actually pretty good, but everybody bring in food.

Children do need to take a swim team to go on the diving boards and the deep end. We almost had the pool to ourselves when we were there. Overall great low cost option to swim.

The instructor did not have any empathy or customer service. Pool does not have any natural light and is colder than normal. There was mildew on all the caulk around the pool. Stay away from this instructor and location.

I was very disappointed with our experience at Webber's Natural Swimming Pool. My 8-year-old son…read moreand my other children are confident, experienced swimmers, yet we were repeatedly told they had to stay within arm's length of me at all times. To help the lifeguards feel more comfortable, I even put life jackets on my children, but it still wasn't enough. Throughout our visit, my kids weren't allowed to swim away from me and had to remain right next to me the entire time, which made it impossible for them to enjoy the pool. As we were leaving, I read the posted sign, which stated that children under 8 must be accompanied by a parent. Since my son is 8 years old, I questioned why this rule was being enforced on him. I was told the sign was a "typo," which was frustrating and confusing. If the posted rules are incorrect, they should be updated instead of expecting guests to follow rules that aren't clearly communicated. I also couldn't help but notice that my family appeared to be the only Muslim family there. I don't know whether that influenced how we were treated, but the experience left me feeling singled out. I hope management reviews how policies are communicated and applied so that all families are treated consistently and respectfully. In the photo :: The life guard who kept telling all the other life guards to look at my kids and make sure they stay within arms reach. We had to follow our kids around the pool and they weren't allowed in middle of the pool due to me not getting in.

Conveniently located in the Webber-Camden neighborhood, Webber offers a pretty large, FREE public…read morepool with a sectioned off area for little ones, another for those who want to wade, and another for people who want to swim laps. Because it is a biofiltered pool, the water isn't as clear as a chlorinated pool, but it still felt clean and well maintained. I came here with some friends the day before the Fourth of July and was surprised it wasn't as packed as it could've been! Some things to note: 1. Bags are inspected upon entry. 2. Outside food and beverages are not allowed (although I had a water bottle and they let it through). 3. There's no changing room onsite, but there's a bathroom that can be used for changing. 4. There's lots of lawn space to spread out. 5. While there's no parking lot, there's ample street parking. Definitely a place to add to the summer rotation :)

They start you off with 100 rounds and people average 250 an hour. You do the math. We paid before we got here about $20 a person. We spent another $20 on extra ammo. That said, the guys working here are super sweet. Very safety oriented. Very friendly. Very calm. They obviously enjoy their jobs. You get a gun, you get a safety goggles, they go over the rules, split you up into teams if need be, and you go to the field. You can play different games like capture the flag but if you're hit, you raise your hand and your gun in the air and then you have to touch the wall in the back of the field before you're in the game again. There are little puffy structures you can hide behind. Paintballs here are the 50 something kind which is lower caliber and doesn't hurt as much. We didn't get the special suits and at one point I got shot in my belly where my shirt had risen up: ouch! and it was red. But not deathly pain. I could even see this for date night. Do it!

Yes it's expensive. But learning to swim is a must and I think every child should know how to swim…read moreso cost isn't important to me IF they are progressing. We've had a few headaches with the level progression. They wanted to hold my child back based on one thing he needs to work on. Then he's bored in the next session while the other kids look like beginners. I dislike that they level eval so early in the session. It seems like they don't want to pass anyone. So they get your child swimming? Yes. Its a headache sometimes that they aren't working specifically on what your child needs to work on. Frustrating. I wish they'd teach more endurance and how to tread water. They need more showers too. And as of today the pool is filthy. Like so dirty. Yuck! No wonder why my child keeps getting ear infections. Overall we continue to go as we have a pool at our House. He needs to learn to swim and nothing in the area compares.

We have been coming to the Blaine FOSS since our eldest daughter was 6 months old. Our daughter…read moreloves water and she developed some good skills at FOSS. She's 6 years old now. Facility is nice and employees are great, what's not so great is, the evaluation system. I understand it's some what subjective to who's doing the evaluation, but the general goal shouldn't be to maximize as much revenue as they possible can, rather considered your child's skills. It feels like the pass/repeat/fail all depends on how many kids they have registered and if they have available room or not, definitely your child's skill set isn't the primary factor. Exhibit A: our daughter tried North Wolf swimming club and passed with flying colors. She just wasn't used to the coach style learning and she was intimidated with coach yielding to other kids, she wasn't ready for that. We decided to continue with FOSS. They kept her in the same class for 3 consecutive seasons and the excuses were, she needs to work on her "breathing" or she needs to work on her hands! This is a girl that swamped the whole Olympic size swimming pool back and forth for her try out! Later we discovered they didn't have enough student registered for the next up session and the existing class is over capacity! Exhibit B: They placed a new student in their group, whom happens to be a girl my friend goes to school with. She never attended swimming lesson but she ended up in the same class as our daughter! Now you have kids with high varying degree in their skill sets and our daughter ends up not getting enough attention the instructor focuses more in monitoring others and helping others. I don't like singling out employee as they get the over arching theme instructions from the corner offices, but Alexander, floor manager, took it to the next level when I tried to approach her with our over all concerns! Her general responses was, "you telling me your concern doesn't change how we grade" paraphrased! So, this is our last session and we are taking our daughters to a different place where they can learn and excel!! PS: they charge us ~$250 per season. roughly we spend ~$750 to learn the same skill sets, the pattern has been repeat x3 per each session/season!
