I'm pretty amazed at what Marci was able to do with our 4 year old son on his first swim lesson…read more I was honestly so surprised that he could start swimming without a floatie on his first lesson. She said if the kids don't have fear, at that age that they could swim right away. Her methods work and you're really paying for a professional! Thank you for being so good at what you do!

Coach Daniel B is one of the best swim teachers! He is so gentle and patient, while still helping…read morekids to make a ton of progress. On the first lesson with our 4-year-old daughter, he taught her to completely submerge her head under the water, no tears! He also helped her to kick and swim in short spurts on her own, all in the first lesson. She made so much progress in just one month of lessons. If you're looking for a kids' swim teacher who is patient, gentle, easy to communicate with, punctual, courteous, professional, and a skilled instructor, then Daniel is the teacher for you. Thank you Daniel!

My child has been coming here for almost a month but it does not seem like it considering half of…read moreclasses has been canceled. The instructors are great but the "facility issues" they experience needs to be fixed. Offering just a make up class is okay but monetary compensation would be nice considering people waste time and gas to only receive a text 5 minutes before their lesson starts saying that it is canceled. This is very frustrating.

There was a billing issue at the start of the year but the owner/manager worked with us immediately to resolve it so we opted to stay and I'm so glad we did! My daughter who is 6 enjoys her weekly sessions. I booked two classes back to back because it's just better for us for her to have longer times in the pool since we don't live close to this school. So far it has worked out great. I also like that the facility opened in September 2025 (which was when we first joined) so it's still new and things are still kept clean. I like that my daughter gets to swim with different instructors every now and then because I believe each one has their own techniques and way of swimming that might click for some kinds and not others. The only way to know is to actually try it! My daughter knows how to swim now but we still go here every week so that she can work on her form and technique. I anticipate this to be a multi year activity for my daughter. Cheers!

A girlfriend and I wanted to find a lesson that would get our daughters water safe for the summer, we want them to build confidence on their own, not only when we are in the pool with them.

I will update after the next few weeks of lessons but so far so good!

If you have classes/credits in your account- USE them ASAP. Because they have an expiration date!…read moreWhen you purchase a group of sessions - they call them credits. Had I known this I would have not purchased the package swim classes and would have just opted to purchase them one at a time last year . However, as of April 2025 it seems like their website no longer allows for you to purchase one session at a time anyway. From a customer service standpoint no one reached out to us to let me know that my credits would be expiring and that I should book a class soon. So that's a bit of a turn off and a bummer. We live in Hermosa so it's a good 20-25 min drive from our house to get there each time. I'm going to have to rethink whether or not we should continue with them or just look for a closer alternative at this point, given their expiration policy. Seems like such a waste of money. As for the instructor , my daughter has the best rapport with Carissa. All of their instructors are good though.

We have been taking kids lessons with them for 6 months, the goal is to have some regular exercise while getting ready for the junior lifeguard test.

Our son (3 year…read moreold) has been in group swim classes since he was an infant but he has made more progress with Ami in weeks than the years of group classes! Wish we had found Ami sooner!! What I really appreciate about Ami is that she tailors each class to the kid *and* how the kid is doing that day. Regardless if my toddler is extremely tired or bouncing off the wall with energy, Ami can handle and will provide a great swim lesson. Not to mention the confidence it has built in my child!!

Maximum Prices, Minimum Effort The location and front desk…read morepeople are nice. Other than that, there's not much good to say about this place. They've raised their prices 30-40% every year for the last few years without good justification. This feels somewhat abusive. Maintenance is severely lacking. Several of the exercise bikes have been out of order. I reported these months ago to the club, but nothing has been done to fix them. The laminated beams supporting the bridge to the yard area are delaminating and full of dry rot because they haven't been maintained or painted for so long. I'm a licensed general contractor, and in my opinion, unless maintenance is done soon it's just a matter of time before this bridge fails. Everywhere you look something is rusting, needs cleaning, or needs to be painted. I've been a member here for many years, but I won't be renewing due to the lack of maintenance and increased pricing. The only thing that might slow down their price increases is if enough members cancel their memberships or refuse to renew. I've also heard they retaliate against members who leave honest reviews, so we'll see what happens and I'll be sure to update my review if I feel like there's any retaliation.
