I have absolutely loved everything about The Aquatic Zone! From the very beginning, everything has been amazing. Signing up on their website was so easy. Classes are 30 mins long and each of the instructors are phenomenal! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. It is so neat to watch how engaged they are with all the children. It has been such a great place to meet new families. The facility is so nice and always clean. The pools are heated so even during the winter months our little one hasn't had any issues. I love recommending The Aquatic Zone to anyone. Swimming is such an incredible life skill and it's important we all know! read more

We've been going here for swim lessons for our kids over the past year and the staff is always so friendly. Teachers are great with the kids & their skills are always improving each time. We keep them in the classes to perfect the techniques. Every time we go to the pool, you can see how well they understand safety and how well they can swim after all the lessons. read more

Everyone has been so nice! This was my daughter's first time getting lessons. Her instructor is so great with her. She felt at ease righy away and was not afraid to try everything her instructor was asking and showing her. I love that the first level is all about pool safety. The facility is clean, plenty of spaces to sit, and everyone is so friendly. This place was recommended by a friend. I highly recommend this place. read more

t was my daughter's first day at this location. Instead of doing a slow approach to get my daughter comfortable with this new setting, the instructor immediately tried to get her in the water. My daughter was hesitant but fine. There was a bag of water toys literally next to her. My daughter grabbed one toy. The instructor rushed to her and said no toys yet, and took it out of her hands. My daughter started crying and refused to go back in the water. Simple training with child development is to redirect the child. Not use negative words and taking things out of their hands. My daughter lasted less than 2 minutes in the class. This place is not equipped to work with younger children. No warmth with the other kids in the pool nor positive reinforcement. The kids were going through the motions but there was no excitement. There was an additional issue that came up. We requested a make up day for the following week as I will be out of town and my wife, being pregnant, is not comfortable going into warm water. They could not accommodate as it was against their policy. I get that. But the lady asked my wife if she was uncomfortable going into the water pregnant. Not an appropriate question and not her business. Additionally, she asked if we had a friend or relative to take her into the pool instead. Again, not her business. The answer is no. My wife and I do not have any support for our daughters. Unprofessional approach to handling the issue. Since we were not satisfied, we requested a refund as we were not going to continue with the class. There was ZERO care of our decision. Clear indicator that this place does not value their customers. Very sad to see places like this that work with children. read more

Everyone should, at minimum, know how to swim your way out of a pool. I've seen many a video of tiny infants learning life-saving skills to survive. And that is where Acquatic Zone steps in to help. My granddaughter is 9 yo, and it was not too long ago she could not even place her face in the water, let alone float or dog paddle, without panicking. She gets lessons once a week, and thankfully, it's a completely different story now. The instructors appear to be all young adults, friendly, patient, and relate well to their students. The facilities are clean, and there is space set aside for family to watch the classes. Pools are indoors with multiple classes available at many skill levels. My only gripe was actually over the entry location. The address is on 6th Street, a well traveled thoroughfare in Corona. But, beware! Being the first time to ever go there, we discovered the 6th Street driveway was chained off. Probably done for good reason, this caused us confusion and some crazy maneuvers. Just know that the actual parking and entry to the facility is only accessible from the back of the property from a residential street that parallels 6th Street, aka 7th Street, via Rimpau Ave.. Be sure to map it if this area is unfamiliar to you. I am very pleased with the outcome for my granddaughter and the instructors. read more

The Aquatic Zone - Swimming Pools Near Me - Corona, California

My daughter has been enrolled for over a year and highly recommend. Her teacher is Mikey and he's so kind and patient.

My daughter has been attending classes here since she was 6 months old, we have gone through a number of teachers due to my schedule changing and having to switch classes. Every single teacher is so friendly and highly trained! Now as a 3 year old, my daughter still loves coming to swim each week and is so confident in the water while also understanding water safety. Her progression here has exceeded my expectations with only one lesson a week and occasional breaks from lessons. I wouldn't go anywhere else for swim lessons and will be enrolling my newborn when he is old enough to start. read more

We've been coming for almost two months and so far everything's been great. My two year old is registered in the Water Babies class and my 4 year old twins are in the Frogs class. We love how good Ms Amanda is with the babies. She has a great attitude and my daughter responds well to her. Ms Tiffanie is also great with our twins and enforces rules, but isn't too aggressive about it. Despite my older daughter having a sensitive personality, she tells me she really likes her teacher. My only complaint is that I wish the progress was faster. Since the classes are only 30 minutes each and each time they do the exact same thing in the same order, I think it will be a while before my kids advance to the next class or actually learn how to swim. However, the pricing is very affordable and my kids have a blast and always look forward to class so we'll keep attending. They are getting more comfortable in the water which I know is the point of the beginner classes. I also like that you can manage most things online through their portal and if you cancel (at least 4 hours in advance), you can book a make up session. You're allowed to do this max once a month. This system works great for us because I have a relatively flexible schedule and they allow make up sessions on Wednesday or Friday. read more

My Granddaughter has improved so much.This is a great swim program!It is structured and organized! read more

I'm totally a fan of this place and it's been nearly a year since my first started. Pros: - instructors are friendly and work well with kids - instructors give very specific feedback - almost every minute of the lesson is used well - seating for parents - changing room for swimmers - easy check-in system with a QR code - affordable at about $20 per 30-minute lesson - easy to make up classes - small class sizes - indoor heated pools Con - I would like a deeper pool for my kid to learn how to dive. But it's okay. They have a pool at 4 feet (I think) and a smaller pool for toddlers. read more

Popping back on to update my review. FIVE PLUS STARS!!!! Aquatic Zone is still the best around! This is our 2nd year here and love it. We have added our infant now and our 4yld is a fish and can't stay out of the pool. I am always happy to refer Aquatic Zone to friends and family, they never disappoint! They have friendly, helpful customer service, amazing, happy instructors, It doesn't get any better! read more

The staff who reached out to me was really helpful and friendly. I wish their pool had been deeper than 4 feet, because their fees were very reasonable and they offer evenings classes for adults. read more

The facility is clean and well-maintained. They have 2 indoor heated pools with enough seating for accompanying adults.

We have been coming to Aquatic Zone for about 2 years. To say that we appreciate the dedication, consistency, and care they have shown towards our family would be an understatement. My son had a bad case of "stranger danger" and wouldn't let anyone teach or work with him. Ms. Jennie not only helped him with swimming but we attribute his personal growth to her as well. Our respective mothers also worked away their fear of water with AZ's staff members. I hope that they continue to stay an integral part of the IE community. We really appreciate AZone. read more

The Aquatic Zone - My son receiving his certificate. - Swimming Pools Near Me - Corona, California

Usually i dont write negative reviews but this one is exceptional and deserves a negative point. Their customer interface staff is unethical and unprofessional. They should be trainted how to clearly communicate with the yet to become their customers. They contradict their own statement about the registration and available slots. Stay away from this swimming school . This behaviour portraits rest of their business. read more

My daughter and son both learn swimming here and they love here. The staff are very nice and the environment is very clean. My son is already a fan of Mr. Colin. He is very patient with children. My son didn't like any sports before, but he decided to continue learning swimming with Mr. Colin. read more

We absolutely adore our son's instructor! She's sweet, calm & extremely knowledgeable. She knows what she's doing 1000%. I highly recommend The Aquatic Zone as this was my son's first swim lessons & he was scared of water in general. He's become more comfortable & confident with each passing class thanks to his instructor read more

I started with the baby class with my first born when she was 10 months. (2016) My second child started with the baby class also. (2020) got held up a bit with the pandemic but as soon as we were able to we were back in class. Both my kids are amazing swimmers and comfortable in the water. Attend the classes & try not to miss to maintain the muscle memory. Needless to say, I'm very satisfied with the teaching methods by all of the swim instructors who've taught my kids; Jillian, Jenny, Mikey, Ryan all are phenomenal (mentioning them by name because my kids worked with them specifically) I can't say enough wonderful things about the aquatic zone and their swim instructors. Enroll your kids, water safety is always a priority. read more

My family just loves AZ! I tried a popular swim school in Winchester, CA that gave my water-loving youngest child a phobia of water. It took nearly eight months to talk her into trying swimming lessons again. Her first instructor at AZ had her loving water again in just one session. It's been three months and one of my three kiddos has graduated from her first class. The other two have progressed so much, but I appreciate that the instructors let each child progress at their own pace. My kids have worked with four different instructors and have loved each one of them. I look forward to staying with AZ for as long as my kiddos want to continue to improve their swimming skills. read more

Hidden Gem in Corona. Christi was super accommodating and answered all my 100+ questions. The facility is now open Sundays and the teacher to student ratio reduced 3:1. Easy online payment program, sibling discount, and a $15 enrollment fee. The place is also clean. They even wipe down the benches after people leave. Highly recommended. Tip. Parking is at the back of the buliding with 2 lots avaliable. I drove in a circle trying to find it, lol. read more

Figured I'd update my review as it's been multiple years. We still come here weekly and my son is still doing great. Coming here isn't a necessity like it use to be as he knows how to handle the water. Now it's about honing his abilities so he can grow as a swimmer. I love the staff here, the instruction is top notch, and it's worth every cent. read more

I reached out to this place with the same question twice via email inquiring about the schedule before I pay for the classes and got no reply so I call and I feel I'm met with some sort of attitude from Christi who is talking about the days and times that they are open is on their website and the classes are every 30 min. Well Ma'am you could have simply replied that in the email when I asked you twice and you could have not been so snide about it... like I'm trying to spend money with you. I don't understand... if something is not clear why not try to help potential customers out. New people aren't going to know exactly how you run and how everything goes. It just wasn't a positive interaction and I was really looking forward to signing up my daughter for swim. read more

Customer service! My little ones wanted to take a glance at the pool as this will hopefully get them comfortable of wanting to take swim classes. We walked in & the door monitor worker said tours must be scheduled in advance and I understood due to health and safety reasons. Although the kids were disappointed not being able to see the swimming area, I then asked a simple question about sibling discount. The door monitor worker didn't have an answer to that and instead of asking a coworker at the desk area, she told me to call the Aquatic Zone phone number. I'm thinking why since I'm at the facility. As my family walked out, the exit door was open and my daughter stepped in while holding my hand. As I was redirecting her, the pool instructor waved the door monitor worker over, looked at us, and literally covered her mouth while whispering in the door monitor's ear while looking at us. Really? ? Door monitor worker went to the exit door and shut it in our face. I understand they have to follow protocol but the whole situation was petty and discouraging. I didn't feel welcomed from the beginning and the vibe was off once we stepped foot into the building. I've had my 1 yr old in classes at Aquatic Zone years ago and felt very welcomed. I'm just disappointed as I was interested sending my two little ones, but I will probably look into lessons elsewhere. read more

Both our girls (18m and 4.5) started lessons here 2 months ago and we are super impressed by the 1-1 attention they each get. Their skills have already improved so much and all of the staff are patient, kind and enthusiastic - especially Jocelyn, Colin and Victoria! We cannot say enough great things about them!! Highly recommend!! read more

We've been attending for over a month now, so far so good. The instructor who works with our son is kind and patient especially with a toddler. The inside lobby is clean and cool in this heat, also has merchandise for sale. I suppose the only thing I'd complain about is it's more of a per class session fee than a monthly fee, most places regardless if there's 4 or 5 weeks charge a monthly rate... here you'll pay about 19.00 a session so it varies monthly. There's plenty of rooms to change, plenty of seating for waiting parents and an easy check in system with your QR code. read more

We absolutely adore coming to our swim lessons! Every teacher has been wonderful and my daughter feels very comfortable. Huge thank you to Amanda, Jen, Mikayla, and Victoria for helping my daughter. Also huge thank you to the front desk! Anytime I need to reschedule or switch classes they are super kind! Covid proceedors are perfect, plenty of sanitizer, and the staff is really on top of cleanliness. I'm also seeing at least one staff member cleaning chairs, doors, exc at all times. Overall, this is a wonderful facility, we plan on being here for a very long time. Thank you to every single staff member for helping my daughter. read more

Wow! I am so impressed. Jade Lujan was so friendly and a great teacher! Great workers are hard to find! Kudos Aquatic zone!

Great overall facility and staff is both friendly and approachable. For our child we had Kyle as our instructor and he was definitely great with the kids. The only thing I would prefer to see is longer times for each class or smaller student to instructor ratio but overall definitely a great place that I would recommend first time swimmers to go to learn. read more

Started swim lessons so far so good. Upon arrival was met by Kyle. Very helpful and welcoming to the facility. Showed me around and always asks how always the lessons went. read more

As sad as I was today with the way our swim lessons had changed, I realize that the staff did a great job in these circumstances. I also realize that it's not there fault for these changes. It's sad that the covid pandemic has changed the way things are ran at places. I seriously had no idea about how different it would be but the thoughtfulness and true dedication made to Aquatic Zone made me look at things so differently. I am hoping we will be back when the pandemic is over maybe in the next few months to come. I will say though the owner of the Aquatic Zone was about the sweetest most generous gal. Her name is Christy. I am so glad I had the opportunity to talk to her about what is going on with the swim lessons during this pandemic. She was so insightful and kind! She took out time in her day to explain to me what was going on and that I am truly thankful for. I realize during this pandemic I have been so frustrated so she was so kind and patient with me. The pool was very clean and the instructors were so nice. It's a shame there was graffiti on the outside of the building. I am hoping Corona counsel-men can get the Downtown part cleaned up. Victoria was my son's instructor and she was very encouraging to him. She was patient and gave my son great opportunities to learn using incentives to inspire him to swim. I will say the car and boats helped him to swim to the wall so that was great! As a swim instructor myself I would encourage using songs during float time like, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", when floating it helps the child to relax. Thank you and have a great day!

I Love their program! The teaching method is great.I enjoy see my Granddaughter improving every week!!

My daughter took lessons here the last few months. She really enjoyed it! We especially liked Mikey as he was patient and made the classes enjoyable for her. Pools are clean, there's little changing stations for after lessons as well as showers. Everyone has been friendly and accommodating. My daughter is no longer nervous of the water like she was prior to starting at The Aquatic Zone. Highly recommend! read more

We love the aquatic zone! Our instructor Amanda is amazing in water babies! She takes her time with each student and you can clearly tell she loves what she does! The prices are very reasonable too! $84 a month 1x a week is just enough for our 1 year old. read more

I got my 23 month old baby here. The instructors are professional and very friendly with my baby.

My 3 years old just started the lesson, he is loving it. The coach is very patience and kids friendly. The place is clean. Very busy place but very accommodating too. My kid can't wait for his next lesson, talks about it all the time. read more

My 11 month old and 5 year old have both progressed so much in a very short time. My five year old used to be very afraid of the water. Her instructor Dani has created a total transformation in her. She is brave and confident now. I see her progress during each lesson. These classes have been well worth the cost. I recommend the aquatic zone to all parents. read more

The Aquatic Zone is the real deal! My kids have been swimming at The Aquatic Zone since June of 2018. I needed to get my then 4-year-old in swim lessons asap. He was overly confident in the water and it scared me to death. A friend of mine recommended The Aquatic Zone and after one lesson we never looked back. Soon after, I signed my 1 1/2 -year-old up for mommy and me lessons and now 2 years later they're thriving. We love the staff and their teacher is THE BEST! I was so sad when they had to shut down due to the pandemic. However, once they were given the clearance to reopen, the COVID precautionary measure they have taken to keep myself and my kids safe are above and beyond. Never once have I worried when entering their building. I highly recommend the Aquatic Zone, so if you're looking for a top-notch year-round swim center you've found the right place. read more

Still loving this place , my son is learning and perfecting his skills so much every week . He goes 2 times a week and I think the cost is well worth it, not to say that it is crazy expensive at all . His favorite teacher is Victoria who has so much patience with all her students and helps them to really home in on the skills they need to work on . I thank her for this so much and am so impressed with The Aquatic Zones way in retaining high quality teachers like her . Thanks again Aquatic Zone, you guys are awesome !! read more
