The staff at the desk are really nice and they have everything you need to get in shape. The classes are a hit and miss, but I think that is more due to the area. There are a lot of elders and children here. So, not an influencer gym, not fancy, just a good old community ymca with lots of programs for the family.

I love this gym! It is a great community. Feels very homey, staff is always welcoming.read more

Grace is awesome!! She gave my 7 & 5 yr old private lessons summer of 2016. Prior to Grace, our…read moredaughters had years of lesson at Waterworks Irvine. We must have spent $1000+ but it did not work. 5yr old spent her lessons screaming and crying. It got very stressful and traumatic for ME! We also kept switching teachers at Waterworks...some were just not as good with kids. I've come to conclusion that places like Waterworks has a business model to keep you paying for lessons not necessarily getting your kids watersafe. Then we heard about Grace on the Irvine Mom Facebook board. I told her @ my 5 yr old. Immediately she CUSTOMIZED her teaching method and brought in toys. She is always smiling and calm with my daughters. And this is key with my 5 yr old who hated the pool. Grace also ask parents what the focus should be- swim safe or technique. Net net in just 2 months of private lessons- both girls love and ask to go to the pool. My 7 yr old can swim around by herself and my 5 yr old is no longer afraid. Plus Grace is super responsive with text & email, flexible with schedule changes. Other places are not. Only downside is I wish Grace had more Irvine hours. She splits her time her and San Gabriel Valley. I will definitely resume lessons with her the coming Spring.

Before Sam, we tried other swim instructors, but my kids didn't connect and we had trouble getting them in the water. Sam changed things for my kids - she has a gift and made them feel at ease in the water from day 1 - singing songs, bringing toys in the water, and making it fun while teaching them how to swim. We've seen so much progress with both kids in just 10 lessons. She's also always on time and has been super flexible every time we've asked to adjust the schedule. She's patient, engaging, dependable, and so good with toddlers. Can't recommend her highly enough! After our 2nd lesson, my 4 year old said "I think Sam is my best friend!"

Update: I was impressed by Sunsational's professionalism and prompt follow up to my original issue…read more They quickly contacted me to gather more information, apologized on behalf of the original instructor, and discussed options on how to move forward. We eventually rescheduled with a new instructor and Sunsational provided a couple of complimentary lessons to ensure we were happy with the service. The new instructor has been fantastic. He is communicative, arrives on time, is a wealth of water safety/instructional knowledge, and just a lovely human. Sunsational has checked in along the way in a supportive, not overbearing way. They took ownership over the short falls and informed me of the steps they have taken to ensure this doesn't happen to someone else. I am now very pleased with my experience, and appreciate the exceptional customer service I received.

Mr. Shin is very communicative and understanding if we need to make up classes. The coaches here are great, super patient and kind.

My friend who grew up in MPK remembers it from her own childhood! The facility shows its age, but…read morethe school has made an effort to keep it clean and updated. The owner is very down-to-earth and takes time to talk with new families. When we first signed up, he gave us thoughtful advice to help our kids. He always reminded new students to do simple exercises at-home, so they could get more comfortable into the water. All my kids started learning to swim here at age 5, and I've felt confident in the teaching staff. The coach-to-student ratio is appropriate for each level. Beginners typically have a 1:2 ratio, which gives them plenty of attention. Coaches are kind, patient, and experienced. While the coach may rotate, it's always someone from the regular team, so it still feels familiar and consistent. What I really appreciate is how the owner works with families to make the schedule fit when something comes up. The only downside is the parking. It's all street parking, including some behind the building. Depending on the time and season, it can be tough to find a close spot, but there's space available on the nearby streets if you don't mind a short walk. Overall, it's a great little swim school that truly cares about the kids and the families. We're happy we found it!

What made the situation completely unacceptable and invasive was that the cashier actually reached out and physically touched the shorts while I was wearing them to 'check the material.' Regardless of the facility's dress code policies, this kind of behavior is inappropriate and demeaning. I expected a basic level of professional conduct, but instead, I felt uncomfortable and disrespected.
