This was my first time at the pools here and I came early Sunday morning for water walking in the lazy river. I was surprised the current was on because it looked like people were mostly hopping along with the current. But after I got in, I could tell this would be a fun workout. And after I walked for about 90 minutes, my legs were like jelly getting used to land again and my back was a little sore. Fun activity to do with a friend so I will be back!

I have never had a good experience at this pool. Last summer my son was going to go off the diving…read moreboard with float things on but we were told no because they would actually drag my kid under and make him drown. IDIOTIC! Thats the complete opposite of what float things do! I asked to speak to a manager and asked where on their "pool rules" does it states that. They had no answer. I also said that we have been to other pools and jumped off the diving boards with float things on and their only response was "well sorry that's just our rule here" and my response was where does it say anything about that. Today was the WORST! Within 5 minutes of being there we got yelled at for snorkels. Not a big deal we put them away. Then, my husband got yelled at for wearing his sunglasses down the slide at age 35. Ridiculous! Then, going around the lazy river my son wanted to get out and hopped out of his tube.. instead of lifting him out of the water immediately we waited we walked to the exit and got yelled at for getting off the tube even though he was tall enough to be in the area. The worst part was my nephew jumped in to the 3ft 10in area and a lifeguard jumped in afterwards. The manage had to come scold us for doing absolutely NOTHING. We did nothing wrong. The lifeguard said she thought he was "too little" and he made her nervous so she jumped in. Funny thing was the same lifeguard DID NOT jump in nor 2 others to actually save a little boy who was struggling and I was the one to swoop in and save him. The manage had to tell me that the lifeguards are trained and that I need to trust them in which I said okay thank you I will be with my nephew and he is actually plenty tall to be in the area... she continued to preach at me in a very demeaning way. I said the matter did not need to be discussed more and walked away knowing that my nephew was in tears because of how they were treating us. Instead of respecting me she went to all her 17 year old friends and talked about me. My nephew sat for over an hour SCARED to get in the water because of how awful we were treated. We will NEVER go back and I advice you DO NOT go to Clive Aquatic Center - unless you want to get yelled at by a bunch of teenagers.

The swimming instructors we had were great. It is noted in the registration information that there…read moreare dogs at the business and that they occasionally come outside, but it is not explained that you might be expected to have them growling 6 inches from you, sitting within 3 inches of your feet and being encouraged by one of the instructors not teaching during this session, to jump into the pool with 5 young children taking lessons that were paid for. I was also surprised after being a loyal customer with grandchildren, nieces and nephews for well over 15 years to be treated so poorly by the owner. The immediate treatment we received after asking that the growling dog be put back in the house and the email before we had driven a mile was unprofessional and rude.

From the owner: My primary goal is to teach kids to be safe. All students will be expected to put their heads and…read morefaces in the water the first day. It is impossible to teach them to be safe without getting their heads in the water. No goggles are allowed during lessons, this is for safety. All students must be able to open their eyes and determine which way is up. Each lesson consists of 25 minutes of instruction and five minutes of “free time.” However, if your student is having a difficult day they may work the full entire 30 minutes. Please remember much of what we teach your child will be learning for the first time. Some kids struggle with one or more of the safety elements, but teaching and practicing that skill each day is very important to help them overcome their fear and help keep them safe. Your child may be very uncomfortable putting their face in the water but it is our job to help overcome those fears. It can be very difficult for parents to watch their child be scared, but please remember we are here to help your child become safe and have FUN! Swimming is a great activity for all kids to enjoy, and I want all of my students to enjoy it by being safe. All teachers have CPR training.

The "locker room" facilities are always spotless and so easy to change or even feed a baby. My only complaint is we moved and now a 90-minute commute/class combo is roughly 3 hours so makes it less enticing to continue classes.

The whole building is designed very fun for kids and they've really though of everything: changing rooms have bumbo seats for baby, hair dryers, showers, etc. The staff is always incredibly helpful and kind. My daughter is 11 months old and LOVES going to class every Saturday. It's a very "no pressure" class and she just has a great time. Highly recommend!

Biggest issue with this place is the constant cancellation of classes. When you have young kids…read morethat thrive on routine and are excited to go to swim and you have to tell them every other week "class was cancelled again." It's not just upsetting to them but as a parent it causes unnecessary stress. Absolutely no excuse that they can't do things like training on the two days a week that they DONT have classes people are paying for. Also, the fact they don't have family swim times like other locations is ridiculous. If they aren't providing the same services as other locations then they should be offering their classes at a discount.
