My 3 children took swim lessons…read more Pros: the teachers and staff are all very nice and relate to kids well. They have a nice area where the kids can play/relax after class for a few minutes. They use the whole lane of the pool to teach which maximizes swim time. The teachers sometimes have them "group swim" instead of ONLY individual swim which maximizes swim time. They also are very prompt with starting and ending on time. Cons: the teachers they have are not consistent, and so they don't know your child's swim level, and the skills worked on that week is random (whatever the teacher wants to do), so there is a lack on consistency. I also wish there was an option for parents to sit inside the pool area instead of only the option to sit outside of the glass. Overall, I would go for another lesson, but wish for more consistency in skills learned each week.

Been taking my daughter to swim classes here for a couple of years. We were excited to graduate…read morefrom the baby classes, which is 30 minutes of just getting the kids used to being in water and most of the instructors we had did not seem too engaged in the class. Once we got to the 3-5 classes, the instructors were great and my kids loved it. However, we had 2 weeks in a row where, first, my 3-year-old fell in the water and was picked up by another instructor who was walking around the pool. Then the next week, during the last 5 minutes of "play time," my 4-year-old slipped off the wall and was fully submerged and flailing in the water. The teacher (who is great) was with another child. I don't know how long my daughter was under water (it felt like forever), but it was long enough for all five parents watching to bang repeatedly on the class and yell for someone's attention, since the door to the pool is locked and we couldn't get in. Finally, an instructor walking around the pool noticed and grabbed my daughter. During both incidents, the "lifeguard" did not notice either girl and made no move to help either time. After the second incident, we removed my daughter's from the class. I spoke with the manager, Jackie, who was great, discussed how there is no way that should be happening, and offered a full refund. Then she had the supervisor, Marty, call me. He made the situation much worse by repeatedly discussing how young children don't listen by the pool and it causes unsafe situations. I agreed with him, acknowledging that my 3-year-old fell in due to not listening. But my 4-year-old is very nervous by the water and tends to be a very good listener. Despite mentioning this, Marty again discussed how children don't listen and cause an unsafe situation by continually jumping in the pool on the own. Even if my daughter was not listening, there should be no reason a child is fully submerged under the water with no one (especially the lifeguard) noticing until parents finally get their attention by banging on windows and yelling. Marty made the whole experience worse by his attempts to explain why the situation occurred and helped me feel more confident in my decision to transfer the girls to the new Foss swim school (which is also much bigger and cleaner).

There's adult swim every hour from :45-:00, so if you don't wanna swim with the kiddos, there's your chance. There's two big locker rooms with lockers available (duh, I guess!) for $0.25 to $0.50 I think depending on the size. There's showers, a hot tub, a deep end that goes to 5 feet and a zero depth part for babies. There's also a separate mini pool with a water fall for little kids, a fountain, a sand pit, lots of grassy areas and a concession stand with like ten tables.

I spent my entire childhood at the PFAC hanging out in the puddles, the zero-depth pool and the badge pool. Now that I am decidedly over 18, I have graduated to the adult deck and it is fabulous! It is a completely calm, child-free zone complete with designated lap lanes and available lounge chairs. I can spend hours here swimming, sun bathing and reading. Beyond just splashing around in the pools, the Aqua Center always tries to provide other services. They have swim lessons, private party rentals and this year Aqua Zumba classes are offered on Saturdays for $5. I wouldn't last 5 minutes at a zumba class on land, but in the water I am a contender. The facilities are also very clean and the lifeguards are very professional. We might not be going on vacation this year, but we are going to the PFAC and it feels just as good.
