    My ENTIRE family has taken classes here, and we have been nothing short of amazed with the speed at which we gained comfort and confidence in the water. Conrad conducts classes out of the pool in his backyard, and the entire environment is so relaxing. His pool goes to 11 feet deep, and he has plenty of seating for parents when you are watching your children. The process: You have to be ON IT because they fill up fast. You have to sign up online and pay attention to your email. His wife, Londa, will send an email with all the details, and you have to read carefully and make a decision! If you are taking the adult lessons, you have to pay a deposit; but that is not required for children. For kids, there are 10 in a class, while there are only 8 adults. Classes are generally for a week, 1 hour per day. If he can't do a day, he'll make the classes longer to accommodate. Again, my husband and I, and our boy/girl twins, have taken his class and found him to be very personable and kind. For adults, he is trying to get you out of your head

    Our two (2) younger daughters both learned to swim in Conrad's program. He's tried, true, and no nonsense. Londa does the scheduling. She's easy going with a very kind disposition. Our youngest daughter will return this summer for her third year and more advanced lessons.

    You have to trust Conrad and the process. Booking a class was a bit frustrating but it's just Conrad and his wife Londa who run it out of their home. Londa was kind and helpful at every turn. My daughter (2y 7mo) just finished her first week and it was definitely hard to watch at first. Conrad was pretty stoic and serious (with a few jokes here and there for the parents) and the shock of being in a pool with a stranger definitely didn't make her any more comfortable, however, I knew this was an important skill she needed to learn. On day 4 she came out of her shell. She went from screaming "i'm done!" and "mama!" while coughing up water to hugging Conrad, telling him about her baby brother and going underwater without batting an eye. I really appreciated how Conrad pushed her a little past her comfort zone all while understanding how scared she was. He matched totally matched her energy and it made it easier for her to trust him. Did she turn into Michael Phelps in one week? Not exactly. But the confidence she gained in the water is a total 180 from where she was. We are booking another week with him so that she can continue to get exposure and stay safe around my parent's pool this summer.

    First thread in June. Told us to register 3/1/22

    This review is only for the process of reserving a spot in the classes. But, after reading the reviews of the short swim time and awful experiences parents have had, I'm glad it did not work out. I work as an executive assistant and my boss asked me to look for swim lessons for his children. From the beginning, I introduced myself as my boss' assistant so there was no confusion. This all started back in June 2021. I was too late to sign the kids up in June so Londa told me to reach back out in August. So I did, and she told me it was too late. I understood they must be busy so I told my boss the children would have to wait for next year. I reached back out to Londa on 2/7/2022 and she told me registration starts 3/1/2022 and not to email her and just fill out the registration form on their website. So I waited, I put it in the calendar to be on time and not miss registration day. I submitted the registration form first thing on 3/1 at 8 am and Londa replied on 3/2/22 with all the info. That same day on 3/2 I replied to Londa that we wanted to book two sessions and I provided the dates and times my boss chose. Great, we were on the right track....or so I thought. I didn't hear back from Londa that day but the following day 3/3 I submitted another registration for a friend of the kids to join them, I figured we might be late for that one but might as well give it a shot. So I put a note on the registration if it would possible for this new child to join my boss's kids. I don't hear anything back to confirm the sessions I requested on 3/2 so I sent a follow-up email. Finally, I hear back from Londa on 3/9 responding to the second registration, however she had no idea who I was or that I was referencing my first registration. At this point, I was like okay maybe my emails are going to their spam? So I sent them from my personal email as well. Londa finally replied saying "I'm not sure why I didn't reply but you're too late now". This process was so unprofessional and frustrating. I get it that they are busy, I get that there might be a delayed response time...but to be so unorganized with their inquiries and just say "Oops I'm not sure why I didn't reply" is just unacceptable. There's no way to contact them other than email which is evidently a mess(who even uses Earthlink still?)! I even asked if we can hop on a brief call from the beginning. But no response after my last email. So, if you're not interested in dealing with this back and forth emailing situation I recommend you take your business elsewhere. We found some great classes in the area and we were able to finalize everything in one day!

    Looking for a Great Adult Swim Class..is this a good choice?

    I have seen adults that did not know how to swim or were scared of the water take the class and do great... Good luck! Conrad is an amazing guy with a very powerful energy.

I was specifically looking for private swimming lessons for adults and after doing some research online, I was really impressed with Swimphi's reputation & even happier to learn they worked with a pool right in Inglewood. So far, my experience has been everything I hoped for and more. The pool is always warm and at a really comfortable temperature, which makes it feel a lot easier to relax and focus. My instructor Marco is super patient, encouraging, and never makes me feel rushed or judged. I feel like I'm improving with every lesson which is way faster than I expected. If you're looking for adult swimming lessons in a supportive, low-pressure environment, I can't recommend Swimphi enough. It's truly been one of the best decisions I've made for myself and has shown me that it's never too late to learn. 10/10 experience - can't recommend enough!

    I brought my 4-year-old son to Aqua Buddies for swim lessons. At first, everything seemed fine…read more During his initial lesson, he worked with one instructor and learned basic skills like blowing bubbles, which was a positive start. However, as we continued, each lesson was with a different instructor, and that lack of consistency made my son increasingly uncomfortable. At his age, familiarity matters, and it became clear he wasn't settling in the way I had hoped. What ultimately led me to write this review, though, was not the instructors--it was the customer service. My interactions with the scheduler/representative regarding scheduling, missed days, and invoices were unpleasant and rigid. There was very little kindness or willingness to work with me, and the communication felt cutthroat rather than supportive. Because of this inflexibility, my son essentially missed out on continued lessons. Instead of working with me as a parent trying to navigate life with two young kids and a disabled husband, I felt pushed out over a missed appointment. In retrospect, I now see how much that experience negatively impacted my son's relationship with the water. I'm writing this while watching my son thrive at Water Wings, where he is happy, confident, and excited to learn. Seeing the difference has made me realize just how behind he became due to how things were handled at Aqua Buddies. Thankfully, there are other options in this city. I truly wish Aqua Buddies placed more emphasis on compassion, flexibility, and customer service--especially when working with young children and families who may need understanding, not rigidity.

    When I first joined Club Pilates in Culver City because the Baldwin Hills location wasn't opened…read moreyet, the manager of the new location Love was very pleasant and friendly and once the studio opened she remained pleasant and friendly. The reason for this review is the studio had a special right before Christmas that if you upgrade your membership to 8 classes per month at 189. Ok I decided to do it. No where in the email (see photo) does it say after two months it will go up to $229 a month. After receiving the charge I called the studio spoke with someone told her my concerns and asked for Love (manager) to call me back. First call was on Tuesday April 14 with no call back second call was on Wednesday April 15 still no call back. I called Love on your personal number and told her my concerns about how I was never told that if I upgrade to 8 classes per month at $189 that after two months it would go up to $229 never in the email did it say it was a special only running for two months (I feel as though this studio uses the bait and switch trick to get more members and money too). So during this call not once did Love try to offer me anything all she kept saying was ( I would be happy to downgrade you for a price that you're more comfortable with paying). I don't/didn't have a problem with paying my membership it's just the principle, FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! I was really excited about this studio in our community and I had one friend join because of my review and I saw the bad reviews that are on here and that maybe they weren't giving it a chance because any new business has growing pains but after they way I was talked to by the manager and the text she sent after I hung up trying to make me believe she was trying to offer me something when she wasn't and didn't I will be taking my business elsewhere. I don't even feel comfortable going to this studio after the bait and switch tactics they are using to get business. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND GET IT IN WRITING BEFORE SIGNING UP OR UPGRADING *******UPDATE******** I received a callback from Love regarding the miss communication in the email and with our phone conversation. Love apologized and honored the rate per the email! I'm so happy with the outcome because I truly love the studio and the team and I didn't want to quit or change locations.

I have tried on more than one occasion to book one of their introductory sessions. I have tried to bring a friend with me, to increase their clientele, as I knew we would both sign up. Classes are always booked, you can never get in to try the class, and then when Brooklyn text you ( she reached out to me I didn't reach out to her) and tells you there is space, and you say yes you'll take it, lo and behold, that disappears too. Can't tell you anything about the facilities or how great the workout is, because I haven't gotten to try it. But what I will say is I will stick with Culver City. Much better customer service much better organization. I know these may be new opening Growing Pains, but you really need to get it together. There's been 10 different things in your location. Keep treating customers like this, you too will be replaced!
