I highly recommend Aquatic Waterworks for adult swimming classes! I have been taking weekly private…read moreadult lessons here for a few years, and the progress I have made is incredible. The instructors--Regis, Azul, Valeria, and Crane--are all extremely patient. They taught me everything from basic floating to mastering the breaststroke. I used to be terrified of the deep end, but their guidance gave me the confidence to swim there completely fear-free. The facility itself is immaculate, featuring very clean showers with hot water. Both the trainers and the front desk staff are super friendly and helpful. Plus, their app makes it incredibly easy to view your schedule, reschedule, or cancel classes. If you are an adult looking to learn how to swim, this is absolutely the place to go!

He was four years old at the time and has special needs. His lessons were funded through Regional Center, which Waterworks knew. Initially, there were concerns about his ability to hold onto the instructor piggyback-style while other children took their turns. Since that was difficult for him, his parents had him sit with them on the ledge between turns, then return to the water when it was his turn. Waterworks told his parents this arrangement was fine as long as they were comfortable with it, which they were. Shortly afterward, Waterworks canceled all of his remaining lessons without notifying his parents. His mother had to call to find out why. Only then was she told that he could participate only in private lessons. If there were concerns about safety or the lesson format, those should have been clearly discussed with his parents before canceling everything--especially after staff had approved the arrangement. The lack of communication and consideration for a young child with special needs was unacceptable. Regional Center refers many children with special needs to this establishment. Based on our family's experience, I strongly encourage parents to stay closely involved and ask specific questions about accommodations, participation requirements, and cancellation practices before enrolling. Families deserve clear communication, consistency, and respectful treatment. We are very disappointed, especially with how many obstacles families of special needs already have to face. In

Unfortunately, we have noticed that staff members, including one of our favorite instructors have left and are planning on leaving their employment at this location. I have learned that this is not because of the job itself, but because of the conduct and behavior of the owner whom I shall refer to as "B" "B" does not seem to value his staff in the way we, the customers, do. It is my understanding that he is often rude, dismissive, abrupt, and insensitive to staff. I have also learned that there is hardly a staff member at the school that has not been brought to tears by the words of 'B" I have personally observed some of his interactions with staff, and was horrified that they would be spoken to in the manner that he did. This type of business relies on their staff, specifically their teachers. Without them, there is no business. I am quite concerned that there will be a continued turnover, which will have a direct negative impact on the students at the school, including my son. I know that this is a family owned and operated business. I have great respect for the Callan family. Unfortunately "B" is risking their good reputation, and I truly hope someone in the family business can step in and change the course such that the staff be treated as they deserve. I know that many families, mine included, will follow our child's instructor if they should leave this location. This 5 star rating is only because of the employees.

I do not recommend using Callan for kids under 3. We brought our almost 2 year old and it wasn't…read morethe best experience. First, they might pair your kid with another older kid (that already knows how to swim but spends more time with them) or extremely younger like a 1 year or younger (which requires more time and attention) and you split your 20 minutes, so you really get 10 minutes but they always end about 2-3 minutes early. You are responsible for your toddler when the teacher is teaching the other kid. They just leave the toddler on the steps and say it's your responsibility to watch them. My son almost fell off the steps, would have drowned. So be prepare to get into the water. They include in their contract that it's your responsibility even though you pay for them to teach. Or wait awhile for them to be done with the other kid. Second, they start on time and end it 2-3 minutes early, with a break after each go. So swim time is like 7-8 minutes. Older kids get more water time if paired up with them. They get to swim the whole pool while toddlers get like less than 1 minute. Third, they are extremely inflexible if you have to miss one class. You can't just reschedule with a set date, they make you call the day before to find any time available the next day only and it could be 10am or 5 pm, but who knows. I would imagine they have their schedules out already a week in advance! But no. The front lady is extremely difficult and hard headed regarding rescheduling. Also, I don't know if they have certain milestones for toddlers, but just teaching them to be comfortable in water. No like learning to hold your breath under water or floating or swimming to safety. Some teachers are better and spend more time with your kid, no consistency. What a waste of money and time for toddlers. Never coming back.
