TFA is truly the greatest swim club in the world. As a current swimmer, I've experienced firsthand…read morewhat makes this club so special. The coaching staff is professional, committed, and has world-level results to back them up. They hold every athlete to a high standard and push us to become better swimmers and people with every bit of assistance along the way, no matter your unique situation. The team culture is just as incredible. The camaraderie between the athletes has created a fun, supportive, and hardworking environment where everyone pushes each other to improve. From my experience, the one-star reviews don't reflect TFA at all. If you join a competitive club wanting to get better, you should expect your coaches and teammates to challenge you and hold you accountable. Some negative reviews seem to come from frustration with those expectations rather than a true representation of the club. I'm extremely proud to swim for TFA and genuinely wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

My twins attended another swim school for several months where the approach did not sit well with…read moreme. It got to a point where I thought it was doing more harm than good. I was discouraged and disappointed but didn't want to give up on my kids learning to swim. Then I found My swim buddy!! Tiffany listened to my concerns and needs and it immediately felt like a partnership. I never feel like a number, she genuinely cares about my kids learning. She has really helped them now have a love for swimming, so much they don't want to leave They went from not wanting to get their face wet when we started a few short weeks ago, to now both going under on their own. And one of my twins literally swam across the pool today with little help. I am so happy with the progress! Tiffanys tailored approach to each kid and meeting them where they are is unmatched. It's very hard to find, believe me I've looked. You will not be disappointed!!! I highly recommend My swim buddy!

I'd give this swim school no stars if I could. My 2 year old daughter's first lesson was handled so…read morepoorly that she ended up vomiting after being fully submerged during class by her instructor Ethan. As a parent, it was alarming to watch, and I immediately lost confidence in the instructors' judgment and the school's approach to teaching young children. What was even more disappointing was how the company handled the situation afterward. Instead of taking accountability and issuing a prompt refund, they made the process unnecessarily difficult. I only received my refund after informing them that I was prepared to file a dispute with my bank. No parent should have to threaten a chargeback just to be treated fairly. The lack of concern for my child's well-being and the poor customer service were unacceptable. I cannot recommend this swim school to other families based on my experience. I hope they seriously reevaluate both their safety practices and the way they handle customer complaints.

I signed up for the adult swim class at $35/ class. In August I was charged for two classes and…read morethe enrollment fee. But then after my first class which was 5 days later I was charged $175 then two days after that charge I was again charged $192. I've only taking one class and I paid almost $500. I called 5 time and emailed 6 times. No response back. I emailed Elmer west to cancel my lessons. Still no response. Now I'm force by their policy to remain on for another month. This is what I call bait and switch! I'm filing a formal bbb and attorney general complaint. My recommendation is seek another school don't get "got" like me ugh

Well, I had high hopes after seeing small changes but I now realize Emler is all talk. They slap a…read morebandaid on things and hope no one notices. My kids have gone here for two years. My oldest we have seen regress in swim since we moved here. He's been doing the same skills for two years! No changes or progression to more advanced skills. I also never get updates other than what I'm told at the end of class, which is literally the same thing each time. There's a high turn over for instructors here. If they actually show up to class they are late or unprepared. My "favorite" was the one who showed up late and laughed about the fact that she was late because she was hung over and slept in. Some of the employees are very unprofessional. They talk about customers within ear shot of other customers. It's incredibly inappropriate and immature. The facility itself is pretty disgusting. The bathrooms always have dead bugs on the floor and they reek of pee. The changing rooms have hair all over them and the drains don't drain well so you're often stuck standing in murky water. They have a new policy about makeups. If you cancel a class and try to make it up, they charge you $15. If THEY cancel your class, you can make it up but you're still charged $15! It's ridiculous the way you are nickel and dimmed. If you're looking for a place to babysit your kid at an expensive cost for 30 minutes, this is the place for you. If you are looking for somewhere that will actually teach your child to swim, I highly recommend going elsewhere

Pricing is fair and comparable if not a little better than others. No matter how many reviews u read, everyone's experience differs. But give it a shot and give them a call.

My kids were able to go from having no skills, to being able to float, being able to grab onto the side of the pool and climb out, and put there faces in the water while kicking. Each kid had their own unique anxiety about different parts of the swimming lessons and Donna was flexible with customizing what each kid needed. All of my kids went from being nearly terrified of putting their heads in the water to finding something they looked forward to doing in the water. Also, she has very clear communication about the swim lessons via email that made me feel comfortable before I ever got to the pool.

I wanted to take my time before posting this review to make sure I had time for my feelings to…read moresettle and to give the manager and owner time and the opportunity to fix my issues. After speaking with both of them and the owner saying in his own words to me "I can see why you are so upset I would be furious if that happened to me and my child" and then not fixing my issue - I feel as though I have a clear conscience leaving this review. I have an almost 3 year old who has taken group and private lessons at this facility. I felt the 1-2 year old slot was way below his level, but he wasn't able to do the 3 year old classes due to him needing more one in one attention. I agree with the assessment of him being taught the curriculum of the next level one on one until he was emotionally more mature and wouldn't be a distraction to other children in class. I certainly wouldn't want him to be the reason other kids didn't get the time they paid for because he isn't capable of standing and waiting his turn. Back to the reason for me being so disappointed and displeased with my overall experiences with Blast... on two different occasions my son showed up for preplanned private class makeups and on both occasions we were turned away because of a "front desk error" per their words where they double booked it. On both occasions my child was booked first and they were unable or unwilling to let him have his lesson and chose to let the other people take his spot. After the first occasion I was upset and asked to drop- the manager called me to smooth it over and suggested she refund me rather than reschedule. I agreed to this. Back in November the same thing happens again. I do not feel the front desk is competent to schedule, to direct families and control who is in the pool in a fair way and I feel their attitudes are accusatory, rude and completely unprofessional and unapologetic. They act as if I am out of line in asking for a refund when I have been mistreated and my son has been mistreated more than once. I have also experienced several rescheduling of days and several instructors in a short period of time. When new instructors came along I gave feedback that I didn't want to get anyone in trouble but that it seemed they had no idea how his class was to be structured at first. When you are paying almost $300 a month for private lessons- I feel like there should have been more training and an understanding before switching instructors. These are my top two reasons for my one star review. I wish I could have found a happy resolution but again - I spoke to both several times and never once got an apology. I hope if you go here you have a better experience. Also be warned or maybe just good to know that the manager is the mother of one of the main front desk people ... so when they say I'm calling the manager .... Don't expect the manager or mother to side with you - at least that's been my experience.
