I was especially concerned about my younger one, who's hesitant about getting his head in the water. Amanda has been so patient and reassuring--she calmly addresses his fears, explains what he needs to work on, and encourages him in a way that really builds his confidence. Both of my kids feel very comfortable with her, and I truly appreciate her supportive and positive approach.

It is a great community pool where the kids can come and join their friends and have a good time. It even has a separate, smaller (though good sized!) pool for younger ones.

This place and the staff are absolutely a joke. There was a line before 12pm yesterday. The hottest…read moreday of the week. Three camp buses dropped off 150 kids. A staff member yelled out that they won't be allowing anyone in once they hit max capacity. Understood. We get inside. The staff members (more like immature teens) screamed at adults and kids when someone ran. While I understand the importance of safety, the way they were yelling at kids/adults to walk felt harsh and unprofessional. It created a tense and uncomfortable environment, especially when it could have been handled more calmly and respectfully. All the teenage lifeguards screamed in sync, literally all at once screaming at them to walk!!!!!!! It was like we were in bootcamp. Then, as the day went on, we still had an hour and a half left, someone had an accident in the pool (a child pooped), the lifeguards screamed at everyone to get out. While quick evacuation is understandable in that situation, the reaction was over-the-top. We all definitely came out right away. What made it worse was that the lifeguards were celebrating afterward saying "F*CK YES!!" And laughing and excited because they got to leave early since they had to close the pool. It felt beyond unprofessional and insensitive to the families who paid to be there. If these kids hate their job, please do us all a favor and quit your job. To top it off, we were all told to leave the premises entirely, even though many of us, including my family, still had children eating. It was abrupt and handled poorly, with no consideration for those trying to wrap up their visit responsibly, we even still had an hour and a half left. I hope management can provide better training on how to communicate with children in a way that is firm but respectful. It's important to keep everyone safe, but how it's done matters just as much. On top of that, if there's a scheduled large group, they should have a better approach rather than having families with small children wait outside in the heat outside.

In regard to Lap Swimming…read more Hours are pretty flexible. About twenty lanes with the first part of the pool set for those who water walk and about 16 to 17 lanes to lap swim. Depending on the time of the day, some lanes close, for water classes. Be weary, if you go first thing when they open at 6am, and also when they reopen at 4pm or 5pm. There are groups of people that call themselves "The Regulars". A few of them like to put kickboards on open lanes to save for people in line behind you. Sometimes, if there is a long line on a hot summer day. A "Regular" might show up and just cut to the front of the line outside with another "regular" who is there already. Some of these people can be rude and really like their specific lane. And will throw a fit if you happen to take their lane. Some of these "regulars" will even lie and come up with a sob story for you about their past injuries, just to get a specific lane. The staff have not really monitored/enforced certain rules in the past. Hopefully that changes. You have been warned. The "regulars" are nice, as long as you don't get their lane or get in line ahead of them. Some will even show up 1 to 3 hours before the pool opens in the morning and afternoon in order to get their lane. They mean business and can be cutthroat. The place has a lot of potential. Cosmetic wise, it's what you'd expect of a facility that's almost a 100 years old.

For the price you pay for rec swim and toddler swim you can't find a better deal in the East Bay!…read moreWe come to this pool the most frequently out of the 3 indoor public pools in the area, the others being Dublin Wave and Silliman Aquatic center in Newark. Great hours for toddler swim, 11am to 1pm Monday thru Friday and 5 to 7pm Tues, Thursday, Friday. There is also rec swim kn Saturday from 1:30 to 3:30pm. The toddler pool is great for toddlers to get used to the water and there is a depth gradient that will allow them to explore and eventually try to swim. There are also toys provided by the staff for the little ones to play with in the pool. The staff here have always been very nice to us and you can tell that the lifeguards on shift take their jobs seriously. Yes, the facility is almost 100 years old and does show its age, but for $5 total for a baby and an adult as well as the super flexible hours? You just can't beat that deal.

I love young kids that volunteer and teach, thank you for teaching my son how to swim! but the parents , no no no. there's a reason why they separate the pool, meaning they teach on one side and one they don't, but still want to go where they teach and the parents don't care but not only that, I see small kids looking like they want to try and learn on there own and it's scary watching and I know the instructors cant be mean and tell the kids how to be but from what I seen , I'm not sure if the kid was autistic but the parents thought it was funny to see there kid acting out and just splashing on everyone and not listening and looking like he is going to drown , thank god the instructors were very very I mean VERY patient with him. the little boy even scratched the instructor and she said it hurt but still was trying to make things work.

5 stars for our instructor Jocelyn…read more My son has been working with Jocelyn for a few months now, and she is by far the best swimming instructor he's ever had. He's had several instructors before, but none have shown the level of patience, understanding, and care that she does. My son is on the autism spectrum and often stims by splashing, and instead of discouraging him, Jocelyn finds creative ways to keep him engaged so the behavior naturally reduces. Because of her approach, he's made phenomenal progress, and we're so proud of him. We first met Jocelyn when she subbed for his lesson, and we switched to her permanently after that day. We even joined her waitlist so he could see her twice a week. He loves his lessons now, and we are so grateful for her. Highly recommend!

I am not a member or client of this City Sports location, yet I have been receiving nonstop…read moremarketing voicemails from "Carlos at City Sports Hesperian" for months. The calls come daily, sometimes multiple times a day and have crossed the line into harassment. I already called weeks ago and spoke directly with Carlos to have my number removed from their marketing list, which I never signed up for in the first place. Despite that request, the daily calls continue. After another unwanted call today, I contacted City Sports and spoke to Assistant Manager Henry and made it clear that if my number is not removed immediately, I will explore legal action, including a potential class action complaint. City Sports Hesperian seriously needs to reevaluate its marketing practices. Repeated unsolicited calls after a direct request to stop are unacceptable, unprofessional, and harassing.

5 stars for Kristy and H.A.R.D…read more 0 star for Mega Math. They are a scam. We signed up for the EV3 robotics with embedded programming camp this week, the instructor 's name is Megha Salpekar. She is unprofessional and no manner. The class was unstructured and was not teaching in a classroom setting. She just put the Lego and laptops on the floor so the kids will have to work independently. However, no scope of project or theme was given. It's all free build. My son has never taken any programming class so he doesn't know anything about it. So he keeps asking the teacher questions about how it works. After "too many" questions asked, she scream at him and told him to go back to his seat and do his own stuff. He got frustrated because the teacher was not helpful and not provide any guidance, so he play video games for 3 hours. He said the teacher said it's okay to play video games because it's summer time. After learning the situation on the first day, I talked to Kristy trying to find a solution and then I also went to talk to the teacher on the second day. She was showing me the program that they use on the laptop. After asked my second question trying to find out how the class was structured, she started to get mad and yell at me. She seems to get annoyed pretty easily and have no patience with kids or parents. She's already not teaching and when you ask "too many" question, she will yell at you. Please avoid at all times. Most of their classes in H.A.R.D were cancelled. Now I know why. So their class was just to provide the laptop, software and Legos. Then she gets angry if you ask question. For $330, why don't I just get the stuff at home and we can play it for longer than a month! We have spike prime at home and my son enjoys it too and do not need to get yelled at.
