Parent watching/waiting room

We've had our 4 year old daughter in Silver Bear Swim School for almost 6 months and the progress she's made is amazing! We tried two other swim schools before this, but none of the others were such a good mix of fun and actual learning to swim. Her confidence is through the roof and she looks forward to swim class all week. We highly recommend!

We absolutely love silver bear. The whole staff is amazing. My kids have almost fully learned how to swim in such a short amount of time and

Great place for our kids to learn how to swim. They have many class options for all ages and abilities. Small class sizes really help.

Silver bear is such a good swim school. Start teaching kids at a young age to swim. Water safety is so important, they teach that too!

It was a bit strange today having only one person swimming in the giant pool. It was overcast and rainy, Saturday evening... I guess I was the only one that needed to do laps but, when you're face down in the water, you don't really see anyone else or talk to anyone else. This is my favorite swimming/exercise spot . Can't say enough about it. Don't forget, the membership here also allows you to go to the other Reno area pools. Including Idlewild, north Northwest and Mount Evelyn or Evelyn Mount whatever it is. Lol

Time to check in on the pool 18 months in. I am happy to report that the facility is being…read moremaintained really well and it still has that new pool smell. Ok, maybe it is a clean pool smell. The building, locker rooms, seating areas, parking lot and outdoor areas look good. If you haven't been and you are thinking it is just another community pool like Alf Sorrenson or Idelwild, it is not. This is a jewel in the Parks & Rec. Department's offerings. This facility gets bonus points for being fully self sustainable with the hot springs and solar. The rates are reasonable with discounts on Wednesday evening and Sunday. RecConnect passes start at $12 per month.

We just had our first tadpole lesson for both our kids with British Swim School at the Plaza Resort…read moreClub hotel and were pleasantly surprised with both the quality of the lesson environment and the overall program. It seems like getting kids into swim school in Reno is more difficult than getting our kids into Harvard. Some waitlists were over a year! Luckily we were able to get into British swim school without a waitlist! Thank goodness with the summer approaching.   The instructors were very knowledgeable, professional and great with kids. We as parents felt like we had some great skills to work on before the next class. Salvador was exceptional in his delivery, and we feel very confident in having him teach both our kids (older one is now a starfish and working towards separation from us in the water). Salvador was also the best swimmer I have ever seen in my life. I hope my kids can swim like him someday!   We were not aware of this hotel before attending class and it was extremely nice and well maintained on the inside. It has a chic atmosphere and a really nice pool. The pool area was surprisingly large and very well maintained. I also heard there is a speakeasy bar that's there. Maybe we will check that out sometime also. The staff there were super friendly and helpful and provide detailed instructions for parking in their onsite garage. I most likely will be recommending the Plaza Resort Club Hotel for my out of state family/friends when they visit.   I would highly recommend the British Swim School of Reno to anyone that I know. There is no waitlist!!!! I'm so happy to have our kids in swim lessons and get them ready for the summer.

Happy infants and toddlers playing in the water while learning important water skills! The facility…read moreis terrific.

The amenities inside are impressive: two water slides, a kiddie pool, two diving boards, a rock climbing wall over the water, and a competition pool. Outside, the setup is just as beautiful, featuring another competition pool and a large grassy area with several covered picnic spots. The lifeguards here are super friendly and excellent with little kids. One lifeguard at the rock wall even took the time to give my daughter and other kids tips on how to climb a bit higher. All of this comes at a very affordable price: $6 for kids and $7 for adults, which is an amazing deal for everything they offer. We visit the pool several times a year for our kids' swim meets. Our favorite events are the outdoor meets because the grassy area is perfect for setting up canopies and relaxing while cheering on the swimmers. Highly recommend Carson Valley Swim Center for families looking for fun, affordable, and well-maintained pool time!
