The week prior to class, her communication was fantastic, outlining clear expectations for all participants. She unapologetically states that if you show up late, don't even think about coming in and interrupt the class. I respect that. She ran a solid, fast paced skills based class packed with hands on practice, relatable scenarios and laugh out loud moments. She's a skilled instructor who is passionate about what she does. Cindy's class keeps you engaged, entertained and learning. Will absolutely seek her out for my subsequent renewals - check her out!

That's the only reason there's any stars at all. I'm sorry but I really need to review this class and Red Cross needs to not use this location until it can be fixed. (Anaheim LOCATION) They do not separate BLS from the regular CPR for civilians. And it was NOT good. There was not enough equipment for everyone (including the BLS professionals). It was extremely rushed. The children, infant and First Aid portion was rushed to the max. I have taken a how to on tourniquet before and it was not enough information given during this part. I'm a civilian and I'm not prepared even though I'm now technically certified. I literally need to retake. There was no skills review section for civilian which is concerning, doesn't Red Cross want certification to mean anything? My husbands class at another location had a skills review. And it wasn't rushed like this. The BLS test was being administered at the end when civilian video was going on. It was difficult to follow the video with the q & a from the BLS. Plus the stop start and not finishing parts of the video make it extra hard to follow. And I'm assuming taking a test with video blasting isn't great for the professionals. Note for content to Red Cross, why doesn't the anaphylaxis portion tell you to use the opposite leg for the second dose of epinephrine? That's basic information and as someone who carries epinephrine I'm actually angry Red Cross doesn't include that information?! It's literally dangerous. Don't include it at all if you can't do it properly. *Edited to add I did NOT sign up for the one that says combined. I signed up for this " ARC Adult Child and Infant CPR AED and First Aid Full Class". No BLS mentioned.

Choosing a preschool for your child can feel like a big and sometimes stressful decision, but we…read morefeel incredibly thankful that we found this FUMCU Preschool. Our son has been attending for Pre-K and TK, and from the very beginning the teachers and staff made our family feel welcomed and supported. The transition into preschool can be emotional for little ones, but the teachers were so patient and caring that it helped him settle in much quicker than we expected. What has stood out the most to us is how much he has grown since starting here. His confidence, independence, and social skills have really blossomed. He often comes home excited to tell us about the friends he played with, the activities they did, and the things he learned that day. You can truly tell the teachers care about the kids and create a warm, structured environment where children feel safe and encouraged. As a parent, there's real peace of mind knowing your child is somewhere they are valued and supported. If you're a parent looking for a preschool where your child will be nurtured, cared for, and given a great start, we would absolutely recommend this school to other families.

From day one, I felt like I was leaving my children with family--not just teachers. The love, patience, and intentional care they provide is unmatched. The preschool has a strong, well-organized program with fun, age-appropriate activities that help the kids grow emotionally, socially, and academically. They also go above and beyond to create special days and events for parents, which helps us feel truly included in the school experience. One of the things that gave me the most confidence as a parent was how excited my daughters were to go each day--they would often ask when they could go back to school! That joy and eagerness made it clear they were not only learning but also truly thriving. Honestly, if they offered elementary school, I wouldn't think twice--I'd love to keep them in an environment like this for years to come. The peace of mind and confidence I've had every day dropping them off is something I'll always be grateful for. Highly recommend!

From the moment you walk through the front door, it's clear that this organization is exceptionally well run. The facility is spotless, organized, and welcoming, and the staff is attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. You immediately get the sense that your children are in capable hands. Our beginning instructors, Miss Gabby and Miss Abby, have been absolutely outstanding. We have two energetic little boys who can definitely keep adults on their toes, yet both instructors have shown incredible patience, kindness, and professionalism. They greet our boys with genuine smiles, keep them engaged throughout the lesson, and create an environment where the kids feel both safe and excited to learn. What has impressed me most is their ability to balance a confident command presence with exceptional customer service. They know how to maintain structure and keep the lesson moving while still making each child feel encouraged and successful. That combination is rare, and it's a testament to the quality of instructors RSL hires and develops. As parents, there's nothing more reassuring than watching people genuinely care about your children while helping them build an important life skill. After only two lessons, we've already seen confidence beginning to grow, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll at RSL Aquatics. If I could give 10 out of 5 stars, I absolutely would. We wholeheartedly recommend RSL Aquatics to any family looking for a clean, professional, well-organized swim program with instructors who truly care about their students. We are excited to continue watching our boys learn and grow here!

Things I liked: Your child will SWIM. I think my kids legs…read morefelt like rubber the first day because the philosophy here in both the intermediate and advanced is to just keep swimming! The pool is huge and the instructors send them back and forth over and over! Endurance seems to be the main philosophy. Some of the instructors are very engaging, overall everyone is pretty friendly! Things I noticed Safety is not a huge priority. There is no one on deck keeping an eye out for things the instructors may miss. The first day of class, and multiple after, my kids instructor walked into the building telling the other instructor of the other class to "keep an eye" to which he just kind of laughed and went back to the class he was teaching. Meanwhile she had 4 swimmers in the pool in other lanes behind and the instructor of the other class was faced away from them the entire time. That was my 7 year olds first or second day in the class. I had seen this sort of thing a lot, their instructor would chat with a students mom who was seated in the upper level, she'd face away from the students and just chat. By the 4th class I was ready to let the office know, but then the owner came outside, and held a conversation with the instructor the same way, her back away from the swimmers. My swimmer had been introduced to all of the strokes but I enrolled him to improve his form. He'd taken other classes where there was an emphasis on that. What I found is that there is very little instruction in the advanced class, the students are sent on back and forth several times but only upon request will they be critiqued or given better techniques. It is more like someone standing there somewhat keeping an eye on them and telling them to swim 400 or what not. At one point they had the owner, and at another, her husband and like I mentioned at another point, the other instructor in the other class, "take over" with instructions like "they're doing kickbaord" or "have them do bla" They are not very organized. First day of class the instructor was 5 minutes late. After that the advanced class had multiple people take over. The intermediate class had a lot more consistency, but one of the days Alexis (she did a great job) had to ask the owners husband where her secondary was. She came out a few minutes later , while the class was sorta on hold Things I'm not sure on: The young kids aren't taught to rest float. I've liked other places teach this, in the case that the child knows how to swim but doesn't have energy to get back to shore, or the edge of a pool for whatever reason. I once almost drowned as a kid in a pool right in the middle, I had slowly but surely run out of energy and not noticed til I couldn't keep my head above water. My brother pushed me to the edge. That being said, the rest float is a hard position to get into, so I kinda understand why they don't teach it‍ Overall, i think my kids are stronger swimmers and I'd possibly come back next summer since I trust my kids and I'm keeping an eye the entire time. Its $35 for 30 minutes (so 8 classes comes out to $280) Alexis was very encouraging in the intermediate class and each of the intermediate instructors really pushed the kids, and encouraged them, which I really appreciated:) oh and one more thing, I loved that at the intermediate level, there are two instructors to 4 students! That's a really nice ratio
