My son has been taking lessons for two years, since June 2024. Today we thought he would take his…read moresurvival test and instead he practiced floating with his clothes on. We asked if he would finally take his test next week and they said he should swim in another pool to see if he would be comfortable swimming in different pools with his clothes on. A former instructor said to me the way they design the classes drags out the instructional period. I should do a week intensive course. I didn't want to believe it, but here we are 2 years later and my son still can't swim.

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.

Wow, my experience with Jose Ruiz has been WORTH EVERY DOLLAR. My twin daughters started swimming…read morewith Jose this summer. My twins are 5 and had never had any experience with swimming at all. OMG, I so highly recommend him!. MY GIRLS HAVE LEARNED HOW TO SWIM IN 10 WEEKS!!!!!! I am embarrassed to admit they went straight from the bath tub, where they always cried about not wanting water in their faces and washing their long hair was a nightmare, to swimming with Jose. Sure, the first couple of lessons were a little painful. He gave me great tips to do at home to let go of the fear of water and they really worked. Still, one of them cried in the first lessons but Jose was able to get her to relax and stick her face in the water without much anxiety. Jose's teaching style is firm but playful. He gives instructions in a loud but calmed manner, and for those not familiar with sports coaching it may be striking, but lets face it, the kids are in the water where listening is not easy. Anyway, he is also playful and compassionate and celebrates every little progress so I am a happy mom. Now, the best is that I just can't believe it happened so fast!! I pressed Jose for a time frame since I was very anxious to make them water safe and he said "give them two or three months". I was very sceptical since my girls seemed so behind and I have seen my friends with kids take lessons for one or two years at other well known places in the South Bay and not make the kind of progress I needed to see for my own peace of mind. Sure, my girls were taking private lessons instead of group lessons with 3-4 kids at a time, but I have spent WAY LESS MONEY in total than my friends to make them water safe. Now I can't tell you how happy and relieved I am to know that my daughters are not only water safe but swimming from one end of the pool to the other with such great style for a 5 year old!! And as the daughter of a professional athlete, style and form are really important for me. The down side: even though the pool is indoor and heated, the water is not always as worm as I would like. The kids are fine but I personally like it worm so that I feel like jumping in with them more often!

John runs his private swim lesson company from his private backyard pool in Redondo Beach. The backyard pool deck area is expansive with lots of seating for parents to be comfortable and watch their little in the pool. Pool is heated to 88 F...I wish I could have hung out in the pool while our son was having his lesson. The underlying swim theory of how John gets kids swimming is fantastic. He is very quick to gain rapport with the kiddo and can pick up their cues as to how to best help and guide them. Lots of pool toys, fins, goggles, etc for the kids to use. Pricing is high end for 30 min lessons but definitely within range of normal for the area and given the quality and end result... absolutely worth every penny. Plenty of free street parking in the front and side of house (corner lot). We tried other options for swim lessons before being recommended to see John and we are sooooo happy we found him!! Highly recommended!!

He reassured her that everything was ok and that he is there to help her. By the end of day 2 she was smiling from ear to ear and felt comfortable putting her head under the water.
