I expected a basic level of professional conduct, but instead, I felt uncomfortable and disrespected.

I swam here for the 1st time Sunday during the lap session and the pool was great! I will…read moredefinitely come back for more swimming--felt so good afterwards. Large lap pool with flag markers on both ends. I was using goggles and was able to see that the pool was very clean. Lifeguards and other employees walking around watching what is going on. Some people were getting swim lessons. The lap swimmers I talked with were for the most part nice and into swimming. All the many lanes were were busy this Sunday and you shared them with 2 or 3 other swimmers. Shallow lanes are 3.5 feet and deep water lanes are 11 feet and have a diving board. Parking is free and easy a few steps from the entrance. It costs $1.00 for over 60 and $4.00 for under 60. Cash only. Negatives: The men's locker room and showers are acceptable, clean, but not nice. I brought my own lock and locked up my stuff in the locker. The shower was a bit too hot and you can't change the temps--it's set. I was told that some homeless come here just to take showers but they have to pay to get in like everyone--they just don't swim. There was one homeless guy with a couple of carry-on suitcases in the locker room getting dressed after his shower--didn't really bother anyone. I stopped in here a couple of weeks ago during the week just to look at the pool first in business attire. The woman at the front desk was very "snippy" and would not let me in to just look at the facilities for 5 minutes--kept asserting that "no tours" of the pool facility are allowed! She said, "Just look at pictures of the pool on the wall in the lobby!" So I then just suggested how about I pay to use to pool and I tour myself about for a few minutes. She grabbed my money, didn't give me a ticket and called a guy over to keep a watch on me while I walked into the locker room and pool area. The guy was very nice and answered a lot of my questions. There were only 3 people in the pool--very empty. She did leave a "bad taste" in my mouth. I can see having an "attitude" if I came in looking grubby, but I was dressed up with a white shirt and dress pants and shoes.

My son (7 yo) took swim lessons here for five months and made zero progress. When I think back on…read moreour experience, I want to kick myself for sticking with it so long and wasting so much time and money. Most swim schools teach water safety first. They want to make sure your kid knows how to save her/himself in case of an accident. This school does not have that philosophy. Swim Method: The first thing they do is to strap a back floatie on your child. And no matter the size, age, strength of your child, they will spend the entire 50 minutes of your (group) lesson (40 min if private) swimming full lengths of the pool (about 25 meters long). Because the child has a back floatie strapped on, s/he never learns to actually float or move independently in the water. They proceed to teach the kids the correct form for moving arms without having taught them how to actually stay afloat. It's a bizarre method. One without much success. As I said previously, in the five months we were here, my son gained no skills whatsoever. In fact, when we went swimming on a vacation he was still scared to try actually swimming (without a floatie). I never really saw any other beginner progress either. Everyone he started with stayed in the floatie the entire time we were there. And this is with lessons TWICE a week! Which is actually the minimum you can sign up for when signing up for group lessons. Instructors: The head instructor is female but all of the other instructors are young men I would guess to be in their early to mid 20s (there are three of them). Two of them have been there a long time and one started this past summer. They aren't very warm or nurturing by any means. One actually yells. A LOT. The other two aren't as bad but still no warm fuzzies from these instructors. At the end of our last session my son tried tell his instructor that he could swim a bit without a floatie (no thanks to this school; he made a lot of progress with my husband) and the instructor smirked then told him to try. When my son faltered a bit, he laughed and said, see you don't know how to swim! Umm, what?! This is how you teach young kids? By making fun of them and discouraging them?! Despite having a couple lessons left, I never returned after this incident. Facilities: The pool is heavily chlorinated. You must take shoes off to walk around in the pool area. And it is steamy hot in the pool room in the summer. Think: windows, semi-heated pool, no ventilation. As a mom, sitting there twice a week for 50 min lessons was a special level of hell. There are four showers, 4-5 changing stalls, and a hot tub that all of the kids and instructors utilize before and after lessons. Chairs against the walls for all the parents waiting for their kids. Pricing: If you are taking group lessons, you have to sign up for a minimum of two weekday sessions per week. You can sign up for up to three sessions per week. Saturday classes cost more. 12 group lessons = $240 (2 per week -- wkday) 36 group lessons = $600 (3 per week -- wkday) 8 group lessons= $240 (1 per week -- Saturdays) Parking: In lot, validated Yay or Nay: If you couldn't tell, it's a definitely NO for me. It might work better for older kids who already know how to swim and just need a place to swim laps for exercise. It's not an effective swim school for beginners or younger children.

Love this place! Everyone is so interactive and encouraging here…read more I took only 4 classes. First three were with Maksym and the last one was with Edward. Both of them were so kind, patient and enthusiastic. I had no previous swimming experience when I started and so they always made sure I was comfortable with doing any new techniques and going to a deeper side of the water. I am not a quick learner but I would say I really got the hang of some basic yet important skills that can help me get better at swimming with time and more practice. Thank you so much, Maksym and Edward! PS: You'll see cute little kids everywhere and that'll just make your whole day

We experienced several concerning incidents with the two coaches we had during the short time we…read moreattended. What became clear very quickly is that these are young instructors with little to no experience working with children and a limited understanding of how to handle common situations that arise in a pool setting. In one instance, as a "safety exercise" the coach had my 9-year-old daughter to swim with her eyes covered with the swim cap. After my daughter became visibly upset, cried, and explained that she felt anxious and her heart was racing, the coach continued to push the exercise. I asked the coach to let it go for the time being and she agreed, but minutes later told my daughter that she would have to do it next time regardless of how she felt. Anyone working with children, especially in a swimming environment, should have at least basic training in recognizing and responding appropriately to anxiety. The coach's approach showed a lack of understanding, empathy, and judgment. This experience was unacceptable. I would not recommend spending your money here. The school appears to invest very little in properly training and preparing its instructors to work with children.
