I took my daughter for parent child swim lesson and on her first class she did not go in the water…read more For her second class she went in the water and accidentally drank some pool water. That night she started having episodes of vomiting and diarrhea which lasted for two weeks. I am not going to this pool again. They are not strict about the rules of swim diapers, taking showers before the pool and I have seen kids getting in the pool without taking a shower. I get the notification of pool contamination every month.

The lifeguards don't enforce the rules including shoes everywhere, screaming, diving, rough play, and most important- parents being responsible and the wearing of swim diapers. 2. They are happy to take your $, happy to shut the pool down early when inevitably kids take a dump in the pool. They take zero accountability 3. I've been in dozens of warm therapy pools like this in many countries and this is the ONLY one that allows children under age 12. There are reasons for that: small bodies heat up faster, they go to the bathroom a lot in warm water. Bellevue aquatic again takes no responsibility- they will tell you that it's perfectly safe and it's a multi use pool. These are the same people who will gaslight you that "suit spinners" are dangerous because they might get mold (true if they don't clean them) --- but kids taking a dump in the pool is perfectly fine.

Once we arrived we were told that they can't guarantee swim time EVEN THOUGH they took our money. Kids basically aren't allowed to have fun there, even strong swimmers.

This seems like a solid pool. I enjoyed my very first lap swimming experience here. The pool was…read moregreat and people were friendly. I used the waveaquatics.org site to purchase a drop-in pass for $10. I went on a Sunday morning around 9:00 am; kids lessons appeared to have started around 8:30 am so maybe 8:00 am would be less busy. The deep end was reserved for lap swimming. All lanes had at least one or two people in them. I observed the swimmers while I warmed up and decided which person to ask to share. I was able to split the lane with them, which worked out well. 15 mins of freestyle and I was gassed, but it was great! The locker room was well equipped with changing rooms, toilet rooms, and lockers. Several of the locks were very difficult to turn and makes them unusable. I found a locker that is higher up and must get less use because it was super easy to turn to lock after setting my combo - it is the same style lock as you find in many exercise studios these days. There are three rinsing showers for use immediately before and after swimming and a nice big mirror to put on and check your swim cap before heading to the pool deck. There's also a few full showers for getting clean and back into regular clothes. Lots of hooks are around for your towel but be sure to bring one! I forgot today and asked for one, but they didn't have any they were willing to provide.

My kids did private lessons at Eastside Swim School and we were absolutely blown away by how much…read morethey both advanced in just one summer. One of my children was petrified of the water and wouldn't submerge his head on the first day, and three months later, he was literally swimming across the pool independently. My other child could just barely swim, and by the end of a few months, he could nearly beat his instructor in a swimming race across the pool. Lisa and her staff are incredible. They are dedicated to helping kids learn water safety awareness, building confidence and independence, improving swimming technique and endurance, all while encouraging kids to have fun and truly enjoy the water. We are so grateful to Lisa and her teachers (our boys adored Aidan!) for helping my children learn the important life skill of swimming--something they will take with them for the rest of their lives!

I was beyond impressed with the instructions that my teenage daughter received. After multiple…read moresessions of swim lessons elsewhere over the years, my daughter still could not swim at fifteen. After one session with Gelsi she emerged from the pool so proud that she actually swam. The way that Gelsi broke down her instruction into logical points that clicked with my daughter was much appreciated. Also, the owner, Lisa, is responsive and easy to communicate with. She checked in with us following the first lesson to make sure that we were happy.

Several factors go into this rating:…read more FACIILITY: 3. This facility was built in 1971 and looks it. Ceiling tiles have been broken or missing for decades, some lights remain out, and consistent hot showers are a bit of a coin toss. But the pool itself is what matters, and it's a consistent good swim at a reliable good price. REGISTRATION APPLICATION: 3. I'm now raising this to a 3 because this glitzy application now actually works end-to-end, once you figure out all the wrong turns to not take. It is far from intuitive, and successful checkout may require clicking on an obscure "Apply" link in blue-on-blue text. I hope someone eventually does formal usability testing. PEOPLE: 5. The team here is phenomenal, and they've done a fantastic job getting swimmers signed up in the absence of a functional sign-up app. And they're doing the most with the facility they have. Average it together, and the weighting goes to the folks doing the work.

Staff are young and friendly :)

I was sent over to Columbia Athletic to work with a personal trainer as part of a weight loss…read moreprogram. There was a choice of gyms but I was told Columbia had the best trainers. I was out of shape and, to put it mildly, terrified. They partnered me with a trainer (Valerie) who has experience working with people trying to get in shape and not as young as they used to be - not to mention vast reserves of patience, such that I never felt pressured, and the skill to modify exercises as we went along to accommodate my issues (trick knee!) and ability level (at first, zero). I worked my way up gradually and it was amazing how quickly I improved! I started to enjoy my time at the gym and look forward to my time working out on the exercise bikes, circuit, and so on. Then COVID-19 hit (booooooo!). I was shocked at how much I missed going to the gym. At the same time, I was Impressed with the way the owners handled communication with members, and made the effort to keep staff employed - and likewise, the way so many members volunteered to continue paying dues for a facility they couldn't use, so that staff could continue to be paid. It speaks volumes about how much Columbia really is a community. I'm finally back, two mornings a week with a trainer. I look forward to the next Phase of reopening, when I can hopefully get back to the gym more frequently.

Unprofessional vibe and aging facilities. There actually are three clubs--Kirkland, Silver Lake,…read moreand Pine Lake (Issaquah, Sammamish Plateau). For example, on 9/21/26, a morning lifeguard at Kirkland who multiple times engaged me in inappropriate and lengthy discussions of her personal life, proceeded to tell me that her main job is "breaking up fights" between members over priority regarding lap lane placement in the pool. The lifeguard further informed me that her biggest problem is "a lady," and that her problematic older members are difficult because they "don't get enough sleep." She also laughed at an older member that day who twice had to return over forgotten items. The lifeguard additionally told me that her Aquatics Supervisor gets upset on nice days for some reason because "everyone uses the outdoor pool" at Silver Lake. She recited him in mocking tone of the way he talks. When I just visited the Pine Lake Club a member in the sauna volunteered how unprofessional and lazy the employees are actually within the context of us talking about the one employee at any of the three Columbia clubs--at least front desk employees--whom we considered impressive, an older lady who works early mornings at Pine Lake. Along those lines, a lifeguard at Silver Lake explained to me that she was pumping lots of water into the hot tub because the hot tub loses water and her fellow employees "don't do their job." Mind you too, everything I describe occurred in less than two weeks of my initial membership. The member in the sauna at Pine Lake for whom I was speaking, a longer term member with a family also members, further bemoaned that the Pro Club has not opened a facility on the Sammamish Plateau because of how old and unkept the Columbia facilities have become. We commented on a very visibly ripped coach in the Pine Lake lobby and all the rust above ground in the pool area. The golf facility staff at Silver Lake proceeded to tell me that the clubs they have to rent out are in poor condition. Overall, at Columbia you distinctly get the impression that the second generation of family owners now in charge simply are milking the facilities for what can be extracted. I also found the behavior of one marginally older female employee at Juanita to make me uncomfortable with regard to her overt friendliness, to put it mildly. In fact, there also is other employee behavior that has caused me to question whether the highest level of on-site club management may have employees for whom they are especially connected, to put it one way.
