    Highly recommended, especially Instructor Anissa! ‍…read more My child could already swim all four strokes, but their form wasn't very clean, so we decided to come back here to brush up on their skills. Anissa is by far the best instructor we've ever had. She is on a whole different level! She pays incredible attention to detail. Since mastering clean and accurate form is the foundation of swimming, she corrects even the slightest hand angles and head positions. Thanks to her detailed coaching, we are already seeing great results in such a short period of time. She is incredibly friendly, professional, and amazing at what she does. An extra bonus: my child told me that the instructors constantly exchange feedback and advice with each other. It's wonderful to see a team working together like that, and it creates such a positive atmosphere. If you are looking for quality swimming lessons, this is the place to go!

    My child has recurring private 1:1 lessons for over 2 months now and has been thriving each week…read moreand during make-up sessions, too. Ashanti has been such a blessing in making each lesson so meaningful and very productive. At times when our instructor is unavailable, the company automatically informs me by email way in advance and finds someone to cover our schedule. However, on days when we can't make it to our recurring lessons due to unforeseen circumstances, the cancellation process and scheduling our make-up lessons with different instructors at their portal has been such a smooth process. Besides Ashanti, our main instructor, all the other lady instructors has been such a huge support in helping my child grow and making gradual progress in all of our scheduled swimming lessons. They all have been very mindful of my child's sensory issues from the get go, which I'm so grateful for, and my child always looks forward to go swimming with them. It has been such a joy to finally found a company who's a perfect fit for my child's swimming needs. I've searched for many years, but couldn't find one either because of the long waitlist or they're just not funded by the regional center (traditional funding). This year, I got into SDP, and everything has been falling into place for all of my child's needs.=) Thank you Waterworks!!!

    What an incredible swim program ! I am so happy with every…read morecoach we have tried for my daughter she is about 16months & has been swimming here since she turned 1yrs old so not too long, but long enough for both of us to fall in love with this (Swim) school the instructors and the office staff are so helpful , nice , and informative about the program and policies. Even though she is young, I see that they have other programs available as she progresses and advances through her swimming like the swim club, the snorkeling program, and the surfing program. I even took a surf lessons myself with the owner, who is absolutely fantastic. It is a great place not just for children to learn how to swim, but for adults to strengthen their skills or even explore other opportunities in the water. Ps they offer free trials

    Went in to this location for a swim trial for my 4 year old. We were able to get a reservation…read morewithin a few days, everyone was really nice. we had Kadie who was super awesome and my daughter felt comfortable especially having the class for the first time. i would def return we really only decided on another location due to location as this was a little out of the way for us and recommended by a family member. showers available multiple bathrooms awards *coins* for kids pricing was great

    We had such a wonderful experience with Monica as my seven year old grandson's swim instructor. I…read morejust had to take a moment to recognize how exceptional she is. 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!

    We signed up our 4 1/2 year old for the 3 week bootcamp, and are amazed at our daughter's progress…read more Teacher Alex G was so incredibly patient, playful, and encouraging. 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!

    IVA has been a wonderful experience. We are looking forward to our second child also attending. The…read moreentire staff, faculty and admin truly want to be there. The support is unmatched not only academically but also socio-emotionally. The community is diverse and welcoming. My child is challenged academically but not stressed and she loves her school and teachers/staff/faculty/admin. The way the material is presented and discussed is all truly with curiosity, engaging and to develop critical thinkers. We know there is nothing like IVA middle school in the best way possible.

    I absolutely loved the learning environment at IVA. My son went here as part of the foundational…read moreclass and transferred out when he moved to Seattle. IVA was my school of choice for my son, because LB Unified refused to let my son attend his home school when we moved to another part of Long Beach. LBUSD also made the school selection and enrollment process so much more difficult that I decided to pull my child out altogether. Save the drama for your mama. In comparison, IVA had an easy enrollment and application process. I was able to contact someone from the school every time I had a question or concern. The student-teacher ratio is something LBUSD has historically fallen short on, and with IVA teachers knew my son by name. The learning environment became a small community built on pillars of intellectual virtues. As a parent, I appreciated the one-on-one communication from my child's instructors. I also enjoyed the social gatherings of parents, students and instructors, when I did have time to participate. Really, it's a private school feel without the price tag. My son was afforded opportunities he would have never had experienced in LBUSD as far as athletics and extracurricular activities such as weight lifting club, photography, and yearbook committee. Geographically, the area of the school is a little rough, but the school does have a nice outdoor area in the back for student activities away from the "distractions" of LB Blvd.
