Had my daughters birthday here a few months ago and it was a fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in and met with the receptionist to the final goodbyes of the staff at the end of the party; it was a hit!! We rented the location for 2 hours and had the whole place to ourselves! It is an indoor pool, but the windows and doors are all open to let the cross breeze in, we brought toys, food, games, music! All the necessities! The staff were so friendly and accommodating, it was really relaxing to be in such a nice environment! What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon with friends and family! We all had a great time and will return again next summer for her 11th birthday!

Great place to have a pool party! A few weeks ago I rented the swimming pool for my niece's birthday party. All the people who attended the birthday party commented on how great it was to be able to have a birthday party there. The temperature of the water was also great. It's warmer than the normal temperature of a pool, but not hot. It was fine for a summer day. The best thing was that many of my guest had infants, and they liked the fact that the pool was warm enough to get them in. We all enjoyed ourselves and the lifeguards did an exceptional job in keeping everyone safe. The staff is very pleasant and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place for birthday parties, events, or even to take any of the classes they offer. Thank you for providing great service.

We started with the parent and me classes when he was 8 months and then transitioned into private lessons after turning 2 years old. And now he graduated to level 2. We highly recommend Deep Blue!

After more than **2 years of weekly private swim lessons**, my youngest child has still not passed…read moreLevel 1. Unfortunately, the biggest problem isn't simply the pace of learning--it's the lack of measurable progress, inconsistent tracking, poor communication, and the apathetic attitude when I raised my concerns. We originally chose Deep Blue because I liked the idea of consistent weekly private lessons and convenient parking. The staff is generally friendly, but our experience varied significantly depending on the instructor. My older son eventually switched to Angela, and his progress has been excellent. As of August 2026, he is between Levels 4 and 5. Angela is also great about making up time if a lesson starts late and sometimes even starts early when she has an opening. This showed me that consistency and communication are possible. Unfortunately, my younger son's experience was very different. According to Alexa, after more than two years of lessons, he is a Level 1, "almost Level 2." I explained that I was extremely disappointed with this level of progress and that we would be ending lessons. Her response was simply, **"Okay."** No concern. No questions. No discussion about how they could have helped. No attempt to retain us. That response really summed up how I felt about our experience. What concerns me most is that after more than two years of lessons, my son still has very limited water-safety skills. I recently put him in a pool expecting that, after all this time in swim lessons, he would at least be able to float or get himself to the side. He could not do either without assistance. I have repeatedly raised concerns about progress with the front desk. I was told that parents are responsible for checking with instructors about levels and asking them to push for more progress. I was also told instructors sometimes forget to update the front desk because they are busy with back-to-back lessons. I'm sorry, but I'm paying **$360 a month for four private lessons.** I expect the school to track my child's progress and communicate that progress to me. I should not have to manage their internal tracking system. At one point, I was even told that instructors aren't always consistent about updating the front desk when children advance. How can a child take weekly lessons for more than two years and not have a consistently documented level or clear progress plan? The school knows there is a tracking and communication problem, yet the responsibility seems to be placed on the parents instead of fixing the system. I also suggested using an app or another system to communicate progress between instructors, parents, and the front desk. Our new swim school does exactly this, and the difference has been significant. I understand that children learn to swim at different rates. My issue isn't that my child didn't become an advanced swimmer. My issue is that **after more than two years of weekly private lessons, he still lacks basic water-safety skills, and there was little urgency or concern about it.** For us, two years was more than enough time to realize this wasn't the right swim school for our child. **We will be taking our business elsewhere.**

My kids are thriving and my concern was always water safety and we've done just that and so much peace of mind. I do love their set up and structure too it makes so much of a difference.

We signed up our 4 1/2 year old for the 3 week bootcamp, and are amazed at our daughter's progress…read more Teacher Alex G was so incredibly patient, playful, and encouraging. Our daughter was initially extremely afraid and apprehensive getting used to her head under water. She cried bloody murder the entire first week. It was admittedly very difficult having to hear her scream the entire 15 minutes, but trust the process! Alex was so good with her and earned her trust. By the end of the second Monday, she got out of the water and exclaimed how much she loved swimming. I was shocked! Something just clicked. Not only did she get over her fear of having her head in the water, she loved it. She was able to roll, float on her back, and kick within the second week. She spent the third week refining skills and feeling more comfortable under water. We are so incredibly proud of the progress she's made in such a short amount of time. And while we feel so much better about the skills she's picked up, nothing can beat the confidence and resilience she's built along the way. Thanks, Teacher Alex!

Jeremiah has made our son feel comfortable, keeps him motivated and keeps lessons fun. We're sad to see him leave the program but wish Jeremiah the best. Thank you for helping our son learn to swim and foster a love for competitive swimming. Waterworks, in Downey, has recently hired more swim instructors. It is a busy location and before we were able to book with Jeremiah consistently, there was a problem of availability and instructors showing up. If you're able to find a date/time and instructor and keep up lessons with them, the program is fantastic, comparable in pricing and effective in their methods to teach others how to swim.

The instructors are very nice and polite, and my son completed 13 lessons. I tried to keep him with…read morethe same coach for consistency, but unfortunately, that coach missed a few sessions. Because of the limited availability of other instructors, I had to switch him to whoever was available. At one point, my son--who I believe is at a Level 2--was paired with a child who was on their very first lesson. I feel children should be grouped with others at the same skill level, as this impacts both learning pace and overall progress. Each time we switched instructors, the new coach essentially had to start over to get familiar with my son, which felt like a waste of both time and money. At this point, he is still unable to swim. I've reached the point where I'm now looking elsewhere for a private instructor. If your goal is for your child to truly learn how to swim, that may be the better route. In my experience, these programs can feel more focused on keeping you enrolled rather than ensuring real progress. When it comes to a child's safety, consistency and instructor availability are critical--and that's where this program falls short.

It's indoors - no potential weather hazards, nor sunscreen concerns. The temperature is always nice. They have both high and low dives. The separate kiddie pool seems welcoming.

I very much enjoy knowing people from all walks of life benefit from this public pool. Swimming is a life skill. It's fascinating more public pools aren't around the Southland. Happy swimming!!

I informed him that "I was going to contact the City Council Member". He said, "So what, he's Mexican too". Now I swim at the YMCA in Lakewood only. It's really sad, I live in Long Beach and can't swim laps there because the music caters to Hispanics only. If you had a meeting in their conference room with all the other swimmers, you'd be surprised that I am not alone in this matter. There are a lot of White Americans, African Americans, and only a few Latino swimmers who swim from 6:00 - 7:00 a.m. This review is long overdue. I still have a lot of money on my Long Beach pool card, yet I prefer going to the YMCA at Lakewood.

I am a huge proponent of Physical Therapy and its role in healing and recovery from injuries. I…read morefirst came to Southland in 2019 to treat a pinched nerve in my neck. The Therapists and Assistants are very dedicated to healing and incorporate treatments from a variety of disciplines (Chiropractic, Ayurvedic, etc) in pursuit of healing and strengthening the body. Dr Kevin, my original therapist, noticed something unusual during our sessions and pointed it out to my Primary Care Physician. Had he not followed through with his suspicions, I might have gone several years before my symptoms escalated to the point that they would have been obvious. I owe him a huge debt of gratitude for saving me years of physical and emotional suffering. I recently sought treatment for Tennis Elbow from Dr Jimmy DiMascio. In just under two months, he relieved the pain in the tendon through a multi-disciplinary regimen of massage, cupping, shockwave therapy, and exercise to reduce the tension in the muscles and tendons. I cannot recommend this practice enough for the quality of the staff and facilities, their professionalism and dedication to their patients.

I was waiting to write this review but my recent experience over the phone just pushed it over the edge. The front desk staff makes me feel like I am bothering them. Even checking in- come on it's part of your job!! Looking at previous reviews it seems like it has been an ongoing issue. I was overcharged on my first 2 appointments and ended up with a large credit. I was notified the therapist I was working with was leaving and the only other therapist that has experience with my issue does not have availability for a few weeks. So I wanted my credit back as a check- it showed on my insurance application that the claim was processed so I called in. I spoke to Jaden and she said that it was not sent back to them yet so they would call me back when it did. I confirmed with them that they would call me back and she said she wouldn't just leave me hanging.. Then I said thank you, bye and she proceeded to just hang up without any bye or anything. I don't know why every front desk employee seems like they are miserable working there- not sure if it is management or just all of their bad attitudes every time. Won't be returning. Please retrain the front desk!! Makes me feel uncomfortable interacting with them.
