My two boys have had a great experience with Kathie and CJ at KTAP. We had tried numerous other…read moreplaces before finding KTAP and never saw progress in actually learning to swim. We have been with KTAP for the past two years and both boys are confident swimmers (the youngest is 3.5). The method is no-nonsense but consistent and it has elicited positive results. I feel much better on the topic of water safety given they have practiced jumping in a pool fully clothed and floated or returned to the wall. They are both confident and comfortable in the water to the point that my 5 year old is already talking about swim team.

Coach Nico is so good and energetic with the kids, and my son is learning so much from him.

I can't say enough good thing about Samena! Every department has shown such kindness, knowledge,…read moreand loyalty in all that they do. My children have been in the Preschool, Before & After school Care program, Summer Camps, & Swim lessons and they just can't get enough. Between all the events for the whole family, and the ones made just for us adults, there is always something for us to do there. Shout out to their Fitness Coordinator, Marianne. Her knowledge and patience through our personal training journey has been nothing but superb. Through multiple injuries, and a busy life, she helps me navigate what fits my needs best at every appointment. Thank you Samena for providing a safe 3rd place for our community!

We recently had a very concerning experience after visiting Samena. After using the hot tub, my…read moredaughter developed a rash that was later diagnosed by her doctor as hot tub folliculitis ("hot tub rash"). What initially seemed minor quickly escalated into a much more serious, full-body condition requiring an ER visit and follow-up care with a dermatologist. This has been an incredibly stressful and painful experience for our family, all stemming from what should have been a safe and well-maintained facility. I did contact management to report what happened. While they stated that their cleaning and maintenance procedures are within guidelines, that response was frustrating given the outcome and the severity of my daughter's condition. Proper sanitation of hot tubs is critical, and based on our experience, I would urge others to be cautious. Unfortunately, I can't recommend using the hot tub facilities here.

I can really only speak on the pool. Sammamish YMCA is always clean. I have never had an issue with…read morethe pool being overly crowded. Pool is clean. Water is not too cold.

This facility has brand new state of the art gym equipment, plenty of squat racks and machines, a beautiful pool, fitness courts, fitness classes and so much more! I've enjoyed their barbell pump and yoga classes. I noticed that their childcare seems to be popular, although I don't have kids and have no idea if it's included in the membership.

Our 5 and 6 year olds had multiple instructors so far and Zoe is by far the best. We have also had other swimming lessons before like at the YMCA but I don't feel they are as focused on teaching the kids skills to swim versus letting them get just get comfortable in the water. Zoe is able to push the kids out of their comfort zone but in a safe and gentle way. We have been coming here for over 6 months and only have good things to say. SafeSplash uses the LA Fitness pool with the entrance to the pool from the locker rooms. Use the main entrance to the gym and the locker rooms are to the right past the juice bar.

Todd is great at tailoring his instructions and classes to what the students need. Todd is helping the kids in my son's group class perfect their strokes, increase their endurance, and work on skills needed for life-guarding. Todd's water safety classes are also geared for the groups' skills. More advanced swimmers are challenged with wearing more clothes when they practice an overboard situation where they are fully clothed. My son loves taking lessons from Todd!
