Some days this class has two teachers but lately this class has only one teacher for about 7 students. They are not given the attention they need, where as level 2 class has two teachers for 5 students.. not sure the logic here being that level one are beginners... talking to the manager here is like talking to a young high school graduate who appears to be inexperienced and is preoccupied with socializing rather than managing the department. Lacks professionalism!

We LOVE Anderson's! After disappointing experiences with swim lessons at both Brisbane Community…read morePool and British Swim School, my 6 year old daughter has been thriving at Anderson's! The reasonably priced private instruction here is excellent. Kayla at the front desk is great as well. I only wish it was easier to get into lessons here - the demand simply exceeds supply! I recommend signing up for whatever weekly time slot you can make work - once you get your foot in the door, you can get access to pre-registration, which makes lessons a little easier to book.

There seems to be only 1 person managing their email and she is completely useless and extremely rude. Jia Ma-Huang doesn't respond quickly so if you have time sensitive questions like scheduling (which is the case almost every time), you're out of luck. Don't bother calling, no one picks up. The site to book is HORRIBLE. It will be the reason why we quit Anderson which is soon. We feel like the terrible process to find, book, and pay for classes is not worth the extreme stress, headache, and despair you will inevitably feel. The owner tried to show me how to use the site and kept failing. Dude is too cheap to invest in a good experience because HE DOESNT CARE. Teachers are great but EAGER to end. The male instructors DEFINITELY are the weaker ones, it's like my kid is just sitting in the pool doing nothing.

The pool itself is quite large, and much of it is 4-4.5" deep, which is helpful for water safety. There is a simple diving board, and the lifeguards are very watchful.

I'm writing an update to my last review because they've updated the sign-in/sign-out system so it's much better now via an iPad rather than the binders. They've also added a water station for refilling water bottles. They no longer have a food stand, but they do have vending machines for snacks and drinks so that works pretty well. Also an improvement is the adult swim lane. previously there was only adult swim 15 minutes every two hours so that was difficult! Now there is always one lane which I really appreciate! Lifeguards are great, and i'm glad that they tell kids not to run. Kiddie pool was not functional this year due to a leak, and because it needs to be overhauled/rebuilt, it's unclear if it'll be available next year. I think most members love having this pool to go to during the season.

Just a block from Mission Dolores Park, and around the corner from trendy shopping and restaurants…read moreon Valencia St, I would have never guessed that there was an outdoor pool right there in the heart of the city. The building itself could use some updating. The locker rooms definitely have *character*- there is all kinds of wood paneling, and orange and red tiling in the showers and walls. The shower area itself was confusing- there were 3 showers in a small, very dimly lit (and orange-tiled) room. Although the locker room was obviously outdated, the only thing that was truly missing that other SF city pools included is a swim suit dryer.   The pool was busy compared with other SF city pools I have visited; I was surprised to see 2-3 people per lane. It was a smaller pool (4 lanes, 30 yards), with narrow lanes, and it did feel crowded. Some were waiting for swimmers to leave before hopping in for their swim- my lane mate complained about running into the entry/exit ladders when swimming near the wall, and I did get breaststroke kicked.   Apart from the number of people, it was such a treat to swim outside right in the middle of the city.The Mission Pool is a hidden gem best meant for anyone who is comfortable with no-frills locker rooms, and is looking to get outside to enjoy a casual swim.

I like that the pool is heated since it gets pretty cold in the area. The first 15 minutes is free time, then the rest of class consists of sing-along and additional activities. I thought an hour would be too long, but it goes by pretty quickly. One session isn't enough to teach them to swim, it's nice to get them acclimated to being in the water and getting their whole head wet. Especially when we don't know anyone that has a pool near us.

You sign up for day of the week, and get a 1 hour swim lesson with other children around the same age (6 months - 6 years for Cuttlefish). The first 15 mins of the class are free time in the water, you can play with the various water toys. The next 15-20 mins is Karaoke in the Pool, with nursery rhymes in a circle time. The last 15-20 mins of the class are divided into age groups, with the youngest kids on one side, and older kids on the other. Some of the teachers are really wonderful, Mary is my favorite, as she has a passion and affinity for working with the little ones. All the teachers are great though in different ways. My daughter loves swim lessons here, even though the class week after week is the same thing lol. The classes are also inexpensive compared to Le Petite Balen. The makeup sessions are very flexible too - just be sure to call Monday morning at 10am the week you'll be needing a different day - and generally they're able to fit you in. Or even in my case, they couldn't, but said to call the following week to have me do the make-up, which was so kind. Parking is super easy here too, and conveniently located next to the Zoo and Sunset district.

Lots of equipment, I find the TRX helpful. Susan is able to loosen up my shoulder and I am enjoying more mobility and less "clunking",. My range of motion has improved too. I came in August for hip pain and numbness and discoveredI had an uneven gait and general weakness along with the pain. Susan was able to help me improve me posture and increase my strength/balance. The next month we worked on my left shoulder which was locking up and the exercises & stretching we do really help! I am thrilled to be improving and very hopeful to recover completely (no surgery or shots needed)! I still do have pain but there is so much improvement! this also helps my balance and stability. I have convinced my husband to come and he is also improving his gait, strength and managing pain too! I haven't tried this yet, but a large therapy pool (warm water) is available for an additional fee at this center.
