The lack of reinforcing safety, lack of knowing policy and the unkindness I have experienced from…read morethe staff here... is through the roof. When I joined I was simply told what my ten passes got me access to and what it didn't and handed the schedule. My PT has required me to use both a hot tub and do laps and stretching to help heal my lower back and hip problems and prevent surgery. Rainier Beach was closest to my home that had both, and 6 passes in, I've always been waved through and been given two wristbands--one for hot tub, one for laps because PT orders--on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, only time I can come. Tonight they let me randomly know that they would be charging me two passes at a time if I needed this therapy routine--I would be double-charged from here on to treat my injury. I told them then since this was the only pool with the facilities I needed for healing, and couldn't use other Seattle centers, I would need a refund. The supervisor seemed very proud to let me know that I could talk to their management about it, but they probably won't give me one. No apologies, nothing that sounded like sorry for the miscommunication that was going to take more of your money than you signed up for and were informed of. Just the appearance of: yeah that's not gonna happen, like they were better than me. This was the final straw though, where, refund or not, I cannot go back. The first issue I had was my second time there ever, where a male swimmer I was sharing lanes with kept tapping me, getting too close and came up fast behind me and ran into my feet. It scared me, so I asked the lifeguard to reinforce rules. She made an excuse for him when he wouldn't listen. This was not a teen swimming; he was about 6'5. So instead of doing her job by reinforcing the rule, the lifeguard said "there are lanes over there," for me to move instead of him. I didn't let it slide though, but then it just got worse while I was trying to stand up for myself. I went to other staff members and a supervisor. Next thing I knew they were all standing around in a circle, excluding me, in silence, like they hoped it would fizzle out. They just stood there, together, quietly, and the issue of my not feeling safe suddenly didn't seem to exist to them. I couldn't believe what this looked like from the staff, overall (maybe misogyny and group stonewalling...?). I confronted them again, this time saying I couldn't believe they were not tending to this. They seemed to finally realize this wasn't going to go away. So what did they do?: One of them went to the man and had HIM take care of it. They didn't enforce the rules, they went to him shrugging and forced me to talk to the man face to face, instead of enforcing personal boundaries I was asking for. He luckily was extremely apologetic, but he also didn't know what to do because-you guessed it- IT WASNT HIS JOB. It was THEIRS. His apology helped, but obviously I was so freaked out I needed to speak to the person in charge to let them know their staff didn't know how to handle these situations and how unsafe this was. And... it just got EVEN worse. This person in charge literally asked me to show him the rules posted by the pool like he had never seen them before. I READ THEM TO HIM. Folks, I was in so much shock, I think my IQ dropped that moment. I knew right then that as a single woman, maybe a woman in general, I was not safe there. And if I came back I would have to constantly be on edge. He kept gaslighting me and his argument was that the man had apologized and that a brush or an "accidental touch" was not a big deal. He also avoided any professional apologies himself. They had the swimmer do all the work for them. I've already been persevering every time I go back after that instance, always watching over my shoulder in case, but after tonight now they want extra money I don't have that was never explained nor before implemented- because of a routine I need for preventing surgery.. It's not a choice--I CANNOT go back. For dignity and a sense of safety. And offering another location is no excuse for this disrespect for folks who are just trying to take care of themselves. I'll miss it; it's beautiful~only reason not 1 star.

Unfortunately that doesn't mean much when the staff is late every single day (and usually rolls up with coffee). The pool is pretty clean, the facility is usually pretty dirty.

Definitely worth a visit!

We have had a tremendous experience with SwimGuru. Our four-year-old daughter started swimming…read morethere when she was 18 months old and has a huge love of water now, and she is the youngest on her local swim team. Thanks to the confidence SwimGuru gave her, and us as parents, we also have our two-year-old son in lessons with coach Nick. After seeing how successful our daughter was with the lessons, big thanks to Coach Jessica, I am a huge supporter of the program and recommend it to anyone and everyone who wants to get their kids swimming and safe around water. It's definitely an investment of time and money, but the piece of mind is truly priceless. These private lessons just go to show the importance of a well trained teacher. The teachers take a lot of pride and invest a lot of time and energy and thought into what they do with each child. There is a lot of child psychology that goes into teaching young kids how to swim, and I don't think that is addressed in most other programs which really sets apart SwimGuru. While they are only 15 minutes long, I do believe the kids get a lot more out of the short lessons with focused attention than a 30 minute group lesson. Fair warning that scheduling can be tricky, as there is a huge demand for these lessons. However, Molly is an excellent resource at SwimGuru who can walk you through the process and provide support.

Exceptional classes with talented coaches and a program that really works. At first I wasn't sure…read moreif private classes would work for us but it has been worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. Because of the pandemic, my two children didn't get to continue their swim lessons and were 5 and 7 without knowing how to swim. I found Swim Guru and it has made all the difference. Group lessons just were not working for my kids - even before the pandemic. They really made no gains in a group setting. With SwimGuru my kids made incredibly rapid gains and are now both swimming! The swim test once they pass basic skills is also an important step that most swim places don't bother with. My kids were originally so scared of the water and very quickly became comfortable and then confident and joyful under the calm, competent coaching. We've worked with coach Helen and coach Molly - both of whom are wonderful. Every single coach is great and so are all the pool locations. Thank you SO much for teaching my kids to swim, helping them gain an important safety-oriented life skill and giving me peace of mind.

Now--YEARS LATER I've been getting Google security notifications about some website called "SportsMotion". But I never set up an account--I can't access the account. I can't close the account--but it exists. Then I start getting credit card notifications from Sports Motion. It turns out--it was LakeRidge Swim Club. They couldn't be bothered to get back to me until I mean screed their facebook with a "WTF are you doing with my cc info" post. At which point they explained that somehow my cc info got attached to a water polo sign up. I didn't sign my kid up for water polo--I was pissed af that they charged me to pick them up from the pool. Why in God's name would I go back? So...how did my.cc info get attached to someone trying to sign up for water polo? Sue, the office manager at Lakeridge Swim Club very smugly messaged me back that she doesn't know because she closed my account for me after I finally got someone to acknowledge my existence through Facebook. I'm going to have to go to my bank to look through past charges to see how much these jerks grifted out of me without me knowing about it. Who signs someone's kid up for water polo--doesn't tell the parent--and then takes that parents cc info that they got from them UNDER DURESS and then uses it???

The court itself is configured incorrectly. The sauna needs a total refresh as well. If the price was half of $1500/year or a total gut job / refresh, I could see the value. Until then I would stay away.
