    First and foremost we are extremely satisfied with Swimright Academy. We've been coming to Swimright Academy for over a year now and we couldn't be happier with the swimming lessons my son's been taking. Oscar is my son's instructor and I absolutely adore him and the bond that he and my son have;Oscar is so caring and knows how to make sure that my son has fun as well as learns what he's supposed to. Symeion is also a great instructor and is my go to for any make up lessons my son needs. He's attentive, patient and also very caring. As a make-up instructor he makes sure that my son learns any missed lessons and goes a step further to make sure he's caught up. Overall we are very happy and content, and we definitely recommend Swimright Academy.

    My daughter has been going for a couple months now. She is getting comfortable in the water. The lessons are 20 minutes and during that time they don't waste a second. The teachers are sure to give a quick progress report at the end of the lesson and are responsive to questions. My daughter quickly built an attachment to her teacher Molly. She is making great progress.

    I have had the absolute please of having Oscar be the instructor for both of kids for the last 8 years. Nothing but positive training and reinforcement of swimming fundamentals so when you leave you know your kids will have the ability to save themselves in case of an emergency. Both of my kids now can swim effortlessly on their own in 8ft deep pool minimal to no assistance needed and all thanks to Oscar absolutely recommend him as a trainer. THANK ME LATER

    Our children have been swimming with SwimRight since they were 6 months old. As a former college swimmer and lifeguard, swimming is an essential life skill! My family chose SwimRight for proximity to our house and we have stayed for one amazing instructor, Oscar Ambrosio. Oscar embodies everything you could want in a teacher for your child. We have two very different kids and Oscar has managed both of their personalities with grace and love. I attribute all of my children's learning to Oscar and honestly wish we weren't forced into group lessons for my oldest where I have seen both diminished progress and diminished love for swimming from her private lessons with Oscar. If you can get your child into lessons with Oscar you will not only watch your child gain water confidence and skill, but you will see them make a friend.

    They cancel more than they actually teach

    This is a joke of a business. We have been signed up for lessons with Aracy for the last 2 months and she's missed more lessons then she's actually shown up for. We often receive a text that our lesson is cancelled 2 hours before the lesson! Look at the texts below. How is my child ever going to build upon their skills/learn how to swim in the first place when weeks are are going by between lessons? SwimRight offers 2 for 1 makeup's, which seems ok at first until you realize you have more makeup's than you'll ever be able to use because they hand them out like candy to cover their completely unprofessional constant cancellations. Spoke to the manager about it last week and he apologized and said because the teachers are independent contractors, there's literally nothing he can do. Terrible business. We're leaving. Sad we've lost so much time as it took over a month to get on the schedule in the first place. Don't waste your time!

    He's so happy

    I had an amazing experience I took my 6 month old to and I thought he'd cry but he had a lot of fun and his dad had fun learning how to hold him in the water and how to make him intrested It is very professional and fun. It's very clean and the instructors help you with any questions you have. For swimming classes it is affordable other places charge way more. I will keep bringing my baby

    SwimRight is the best! Instructors & staff are kind, courteous & patient.

    They have doubled their prices in the last year to an outrageous $60 for 20 minutes. 100% price hike. Yikes.

    Are there times here when there are no/very few people or is it always busy?

    Hall Swim Academy - Anna loves working with her swimmers in the pool

    Anna at Hall Swim Academy is an excellent teacher…read more Two years ago, my son (who was 7 at the time) was going to another swim school and was doing ok but advancing slowly. As part of that school's safety training, they threw him in the water wearing street clothes. He was doing ok for about 30 seconds but then panicked and started to sink so one of the teachers had to jump in and pull him out. (It was partially my fault since I mistakenly had him wear long pants that absorbed water). Anyhow, he freaked out and got very scared. We continued to go to that school for several more weeks but he stagnated with his training and the teacher became frustrated and tried to push him too hard so he had a melt down. Fast forward two years, I started taking him to the Hall Swim Academy west LA location about 2 months ago and he started trying again to learn how to swim with Anna. Anna is extremely kind and patient with kids. She demonstrates what she wants him to do and corrects mistakes in his floating and swim strokes and has him repeat as necessary. She is able to recognize how much to push and when to give him more space and repeats instructions as necessary. He loves going to swim class with Anna and is motivated to learn so he can swim with his friends at summer camp. Yesterday, he had two major breakthroughs. He spent most of the class in the pool without wearing goggles which he previously refused to do. Then, on his own, he decided he wanted to try the swim test. So, he put on street clothes over his swim suit, jumped in the water, floated on his back for 20 seconds and then easily swam to the side of the pool and climbed out on his own. He was so proud of himself for overcoming his fear and is now looking forward to his next class with Anna. I am very grateful to Anna for her kindness, professionalism, excellent teaching skills and being such a good motivator. Thank you!!

    Bene and her team are the best! We are so incredibly grateful for Elena and cannot recommend her…read morehighly enough. Prior to working with her, we had spent nearly a year taking our son to another swim class where he consistently refused to participate and often became tearful. Swimming had become a source of stress rather than confidence. From the very first session, Elena immediately put him at ease. Through her kindness, patience, and gentle approach, she helped him feel safe and supported in the water. Remarkably quickly, he went from avoiding the pool to swimming competently and confidently; and even more meaningful, he began to love swim lessons and looked forward to going each week. Elena has a rare ability to be calm, warm, and reassuring while also instilling confidence and encouraging kids to work through skills that feel challenging, rather than avoiding them. She empowered our son, helped him trust himself, and created an environment where he felt secure enough to try, grow, and succeed. I truly can't express my appreciation and regard for Elena enough. She made an enormous difference for our son, and we are so thankful for the care and skill she brings to her teaching. Thank you to Bene for all her help scheduling and pairing him with Elena!

    Nice for lap swimming when I come at the right time. I really liked it when they played music…read morethrough underground speakers too, but lately when I've gone, they haven't been doing this. Overall, a very solid pool to lap swim. The price to get a pool pass is also worth it, in my opinion.

    I swam here for the 1st time Sunday during the lap session and the pool was great! I will…read moredefinitely come back for more swimming--felt so good afterwards. Large lap pool with flag markers on both ends. I was using goggles and was able to see that the pool was very clean. Lifeguards and other employees walking around watching what is going on. Some people were getting swim lessons. The lap swimmers I talked with were for the most part nice and into swimming. All the many lanes were were busy this Sunday and you shared them with 2 or 3 other swimmers. Shallow lanes are 3.5 feet and deep water lanes are 11 feet and have a diving board. Parking is free and easy a few steps from the entrance. It costs $1.00 for over 60 and $4.00 for under 60. Cash only. Negatives: The men's locker room and showers are acceptable, clean, but not nice. I brought my own lock and locked up my stuff in the locker. The shower was a bit too hot and you can't change the temps--it's set. I was told that some homeless come here just to take showers but they have to pay to get in like everyone--they just don't swim. There was one homeless guy with a couple of carry-on suitcases in the locker room getting dressed after his shower--didn't really bother anyone. I stopped in here a couple of weeks ago during the week just to look at the pool first in business attire. The woman at the front desk was very "snippy" and would not let me in to just look at the facilities for 5 minutes--kept asserting that "no tours" of the pool facility are allowed! She said, "Just look at pictures of the pool on the wall in the lobby!" So I then just suggested how about I pay to use to pool and I tour myself about for a few minutes. She grabbed my money, didn't give me a ticket and called a guy over to keep a watch on me while I walked into the locker room and pool area. The guy was very nice and answered a lot of my questions. There were only 3 people in the pool--very empty. She did leave a "bad taste" in my mouth. I can see having an "attitude" if I came in looking grubby, but I was dressed up with a white shirt and dress pants and shoes.

    Writing Pad has sparked such joy in my life, and I'm so glad that I found it via a random google…read moresearch. I'd been looking for a writing class, and was inclined to do a continuing ed class at a university. But I was sold on Writing Pad because they show you where their students get published and that their method works. I've loved my teachers Brett and Erika. The only negative is that the classes are so good, that I keep taking more and more. Kudos to Marilyn for an awesome business!

    Writing Pad is one of the best kept secrets in LA. I canNOT recommend it highly enough. It has (no…read moreexaggeration!!) changed my life. I'd been struggling to get my ideas from brain to draft, had such a hard time structuring my time so I'd get things done, felt like writing without feedback was setting me back. Writing Pad solved ALL of those problems and then some. The instructors are *incredible* -- I've taken two classes with Jack Kukoda and Todd Waldman, and my scripts are eons beyond what I would have been able to accomplish alone. They are fantastic writers who have written MANY of my favorite shows (Superstore, Community, Happy Endings!!!) and I get to take a small, personalized class with them??? Sometimes people can Do but not Teach-- it is clear Writing Pad seeks instructors who excel at both. The classes are run like writers' rooms, everyone giving feedback in a constructive and serious but absolutely not intimidating way. I've also made a ton of friends from my classes and met people I'm collaborating with!! ALSO IT IS WILDLY AFFORDABLE FOR THE VALUE. BEYOND WORTH IT. I could go on forever but I won't because I sound like I'm trying to get you guys to join my cult or something (I'm just really enthusiastic and grateful, okay??), So I'll end with this: look up writing pad classes, find a teacher and course that interest you. SIGN UP. You will not regret it. 100000 stars!!!
