His encouragement and positive energy make a huge difference- he knows how to connect with kids and create a fun, supportive environment. He keeps things engaging and playful, which means my daughter is not only progressing but genuinely excited for each swim lesson. It's such a joy to see her so happy and motivated in the water. I highly recommend him to any parent looking for a swim instructor who combines skill with kindness and truly knows how to make learning fun for kids!

My review is based on the introductory swimming lessons for my five year old. There is a lot to like about the swimming lessons here. The facilities are excellent; lessons are held in the small heated pools perfect for little ones and changing/showers/bathrooms are in the O'Connell Center locker rooms. Class sizes are small and the instructors are very friendly.

No complaints, really. I came here to both lap swim and to dive. For diving, they have two 1-meter…read moreboards and one 3-meter board. The lifeguards, though young, are very professional and good at their jobs plus prompt to answer any questions. There's ample room for lap swimming plus a children's shallow kiddie pool and another shallow area for people to just splash around if not lap swimming--plus the diving well. Some reviewers have commented on high school swim teams coming here to practice: apparently the deal is for some to come here, some to Westside, some go to UF as well. Until the School Board builds its own aquatics facility (unlikely), that will probably be how things go. (Whereas Jacksonville high schools in contrast have their own swimming pools on site in many cases.) School swim teams need places to practice, so this is a logical solution and I don't see it as impinging much on other patrons. Other reviewers (here and elsewhere) have complained some kids are loud and disrespectful: I did not experience that, yeah, kids can be loud but all I encountered were very polite. The locker rooms: the men's locker room is indeed old, probably original. I did not find it dirty however. Unlike the renovated Westside (Cherry) Pool, it actually has enough lockers to accommodate for two swim teams--or probably more. That's important if you're having meets here. I don't think Westside with its renovations provides that level of locker room space. So, as a diver and swimmer, no complaints here. Yeah, it's not a brand new nor renovated facility but clean and well-run: it meets my criteria certainly.
