    Innis Arden Swim - Pool deck on a sunny day.

    Innis Arden Swim

    I swam for the Innis Arden youth swim team for 12 years approximately 1999-2010. Though my family…read morehad a pool membership before that time range as well and I worked at the pool until 2012. I also took part in youth water polo off and on. I started working here in Spring 2007 when I was 14 years old and worked here until August 2012, amounting to a little under 6 years, taking on various roles. Working at a pool while also using it for lap swim, rentals, open (recreation) swim, swim team, and water polo provides a well-rounded view of the pool setting. I went from cleaner to lifeguard and swim instructor to senior lifeguard and swim instructor to assistant swim coach and swim instructor. Being a cleaner, yes we even got to clean the locker rooms and wash the floors and scrub the toilets, was an eye opening experience as to the daily upkeep required in the operations and maintenance of a pool. Lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons here were more relaxed than the other pools I worked at (The Dale Turner Family YMCA and Evans Pool for the City of Seattle) and it is not one of the pools I made a rescue at. From a lifeguard perspective that is truly a testament to how well run/operated the pool is. Typically the pool is seasonal, opening in late Spring and closing closer to the end of Summer. However, this year the pool it trying some things out and expanding its open dates for lap swimming and hosting a high school swim team and a club swim team for their practices. Fun to drive past the pool in February and still see people in the pool. Fortunately Innis Arden pool is a heated pool, so even if the weather is 30 or 40 degrees Fahrenheit outside the pool remains a comparatively balmy 79-85 degrees. I have swam in non-heated pools in 30 and 40 degree weather and that is a brutal experience and takes a toll on my system. So relish the comparative luxury of a heated pool! I love the pool layout, though I cannot speak of the locker rooms/office as they have been remodeled since I worked here and my family has chosen to go without a pool membership for about a decade. Locker rooms and the office are located between the fenced pool deck and a grassy field. A parking lot extends one length and end of the pool. On the side of the pool opposite to the parking lot is the Innis Arden Clubhouse which can be used for swim-related events on occasion. The pool deck is a couple to a few inches taller than the pool water level and has a coarse-grained texture which is perfect for preventing slippage on deck especially when one is dripping wet. There was a rickety slide and a diving board when we still had a membership. When people weren't using the slide it was fun to see how long we could last with our heads under the water cascading down and off the slide. Cold water ran to coat the slide so that when we used the slide we did not get stuck to it sliding down, no swimsuit wedgie is good with me :).

    The staff at British Swim School in Burien are nothing short of amazing! We have referred three…read morefriends with kids, based on our fantastic experience. Our kids have been going here for just over a year. They love it and they have progressed immensely. Our 6yr-old has gone from being a total non-swimmer to being a confident swimmer. He has some sensory/autism issues, which the staff were very willing and able to accommodate.

    We just moved here and I was looking for a school for my two kids that offered high quality…read moreinstruction, and just as importantly, a safe environment where I know they will be in good, reliable hands. This swim school completely fits the bill. My first phone call with Tracey, the owner, gave me a great first impression of the school. She explained the programs they offered, answered all my questions, and helped me choose which classes were a good fit. Since I have two kids, she shuffled some things around in the schedule so that both kids can go on the same night with one lesson after the other. This is very convenient :) Also convenient is that all administrative stuff is available on their website, so I didn't have to fuss with printing out paperwork. On the first day of class, Tracey warmly greeted us at the door, and got us set up with everything we needed (including complimentary swim caps). For my 4-year-old's beginner class (Minnows), there were 4 students and 2 very capable, hands-on instructors. They were both excellent with kids and you can see that the kids are having a lot of fun. To get kids used to the water, they play a game where each kid gets a turn to do an activity for a short burst of time. They work in round robin fashion, and go very quickly, so as to keep it fun and make it less frightening. This method worked really great on my son because within the first couple of lessons, he overcame his fear of swimming. At the end of the class, they bring out toys and inflatables and this is my son's favorite part of the class. My daughter is in a more advanced class where they work on their strokes and swim laps. Again, great instruction, and she loves the class. By the way, the facilities are really nice. They are in the recreation building of a new apartment complex (Avana 522). The pool is a great size, nice and clean. Outside of the pool area there is a lobby with free wifi, sitting area with tv, and vending machines. It's been 3 weeks now. My kids LOVE their swim lessons and it's amazing to see all the progress they've made in such a short amount of time. All in all, we couldn't ask for any better. If I were to grade this school, I would give them a solid A+.

    I cancelled my sons classes and mine on June 28th. I messaged the person who was dealing with…read morebooking me classes her name was Mia. I explained to her to go ahead and cancel my classes. Fast forward two weeks later (today July 12th) no refund. I spoke to the manager whom stated that she will need to speak to Mia to confirm that I did cancel my swim lessons. I asked why she would need a confirmation if I have never attended the swim lessons. There was no record on file that I ever messaged about cancelling classes. Although , I requested Mia to cancel in June 28th.  They stated that they will "try to process a payment within 24-48hrs" if Mia agrees that I called to cancel my classes. LA fitness & this company that works together has terrible communication with its clients. There's no record keeping of information and conversation.Few hour after I got off the phone with the manager. Mia calls me to ask me "what is my story " I stated that I would like a refund and that I messaged her several times about my refund. I have called customer service and they assured me that they are working on a refund. She stated that she will work on refunding July payment but she will have to confirm Junes payment first. I explained again that I have never attended swim lessons and I am no longer interested. I would like a refund.I have called my bank to dispute the charges.I will update this review if they do refund ..I would like to advise STAY AWAY from this business. Poor management , lack of communication ,lack of documentation , no sympathy ..and the list can go on and on.. I decided to write an update from the last time I posted  about this business.I paid $70 and $80 for month of June and $386 for July. I was told that I will only pay for June however two days later they processed my card for a payment for $386 without my knowledge. The OWNERS OF THE COMPANY stated that they can only give me half of my money.. yet i have never attended any classes and they cancelled my classes several times

    I felt the need to leave a review to warn others. This is by far the worst swim school. Our first…read moreinstructor loved to talk about all the things he teaches, but never actually taught my child anything. The instructors switched out constantly and although they seemed to be nice people, none of them were effective at actually teaching children how to swim. If you want a small area of a pool for your child to get used to the water, sure spend your money here; though you also could just swim around with them yourself for free. If you want your child to actually learn any basics about swimming, let alone actually swim, look elsewhere.
