I was a little hesitant about the location being at an LA Fitness but it has been easy to just head in, get to the pool, and do the lessons.

Definitely would recommend!

I informed him that "I was going to contact the City Council Member". He said, "So what, he's Mexican too". Now I swim at the YMCA in Lakewood only. It's really sad, I live in Long Beach and can't swim laps there because the music caters to Hispanics only. If you had a meeting in their conference room with all the other swimmers, you'd be surprised that I am not alone in this matter. There are a lot of White Americans, African Americans, and only a few Latino swimmers who swim from 6:00 - 7:00 a.m. This review is long overdue. I still have a lot of money on my Long Beach pool card, yet I prefer going to the YMCA at Lakewood.

If you're the type of parent that likes to stare at your phone while your kid pretends to learn how to swim from an "instructor" who has attitude this is your spot. Safe splash is probably accurate in its name. Nothing bearing even the slightest resemblance to an actual swim stroke is taught at this adults gym pool. Splashing and not drowning is all that I've seen. Get your kid in real swim lessons at an appropriate pool.

The staff has been incredibly patient, kind, and accommodating with each of their individual needs. Finding a place where my kids feel safe, supported, and excited to learn is priceless. The facility is always very clean, the water is warm, and the atmosphere is calm and welcoming. I also really appreciate the convenience of having clean changing rooms available after lessons such a huge help for parents! My boys look forward to swim class every week, and I've seen so much improvement in their confidence and skills. I highly recommend Deep Blue Swim School to any family, especially those with children who may need a little extra support. They truly go above and beyond!

AUTISM PARENTS PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING CHILDREN HERE -…read more This will be our last day here. I was truly heartbroken with ur experience coming here. My son is autistic, loves to swim, the water is very therapeutic for him. Him learning to swim is an important safety concern for me as autistic kids are high risk for drowning. After a few months I started seeing other kids get awards,"swimmer of month,etc. I started to wonder why my son never got any awards. Today when I asked - do you guys give all the students awards they said it's based on this chart (attached below ). This chart is unrealistic for most children who are special needs. Yet all over the wall are posters saying "autism awareness" and "autism acceptance " if you truly want to accept autistic children CHANGE your system! Anyone can put up a poster. Give ALL the kids who come awards. Bring back the fun in just swimming and having fun. Don't say you will teach a child how to swim when u will just take our money and let them splash around for 20minutes. My son is still working on potty training and he pooped in the pool and as soon as we walked in I'm asked about his poop times and they said they have to start checking his diaper before and after. Not even a hello. I found another place that caters to special needs children called -adaptive aquatics as special program for us. No favoritism no awards! 30 minute swim lessons!

Monica is incredibly patient and intentional in the way she teaches. I could clearly see her introducing new skills step by step, making sure he understood, and encouraging him the entire time. What stood out most was how engaged he was. He was completely attentive, listening closely, and genuinely excited to try what she was teaching him. It is amazing to watch his confidence grow in the water, and I truly believe Monica deserves a lot of credit for that. She takes her time, communicates clearly, and creates an environment where kids feel safe and motivated to improve. If you are looking for a swim instructor who is skilled, patient, and truly invested in her students' progress, Monica is outstanding. We are so grateful for her!

Our daughter was initially extremely afraid and apprehensive getting used to her head under water. She cried bloody murder the entire first week. It was admittedly very difficult having to hear her scream the entire 15 minutes, but trust the process! Alex was so good with her and earned her trust. By the end of the second Monday, she got out of the water and exclaimed how much she loved swimming. I was shocked! Something just clicked. Not only did she get over her fear of having her head in the water, she loved it. She was able to roll, float on her back, and kick within the second week. She spent the third week refining skills and feeling more comfortable under water. We are so incredibly proud of the progress she's made in such a short amount of time. And while we feel so much better about the skills she's picked up, nothing can beat the confidence and resilience she's built along the way. Thanks, Teacher Alex!
