Kai W.

We rotate between the three indoor public pools in the East Bay for their rec swim/toddler swims; Hayward Plunge, Sillimans Aquatic center in Newark, and Dublin Wave. Of the three facilities, I think the Wave is the most suitable for older toddlers/young children who are actually learning how to swim because of the different pools depths that they have available at their facility. The Wave facilities are clean and well kept. They also have a nice family changing room for toddlers/young kids. The staff here are not quite as engaged and the lifeguards are a little hit or miss when it comes to enforcing rules unlike the other facilities, but for the price of their rec swim and what you get I still think it is a great deal. Rec swim hours are currently Saturday and Sunday 1-4pm. Great place to bring your kids rain or shine!

What an amazing community facility! Brought my 4-year-old here and we had such a fantastic time. The Wave really lives up to its name, there's something for everyone here. My daughter was in heaven with all the options. We started at the splash pad which was perfect for her age, then moved to the playground when she needed a break from the water. The outdoor pool area is beautiful and well-maintained, and I love that there's also an indoor pool option. The facilities are incredibly clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. You can tell this place was designed with families in mind. The colorful umbrellas and seating areas made it easy for parents to relax while keeping an eye on the kids. We easily spent the whole afternoon here and my daughter is already asking when we can go back. Dublin is lucky to have such a wonderful community resource. We'll definitely be regulars this summer!

3 star because of the price and not being able to bring outside food or drinks in! So overall, pretty pricey day out. We rented a cabana, which honestly, wasn't too expensive. I'd highly recommend getting a cabana, especially if you intend on being there all day! The price per person to get in was $16, which is a bit high since it's nothing spectacular besides the 2 or 3 water slides. I'd rather go to the San Ramon aquatic center, unless you're coming for the slides. You cannot bring in anything, you're somewhat forced to purchase from their concession stands, where 4 pieces of chicken tenders are $9. I don't necessarily dislike it here but I definitely don't love it either.

Great place to take kids. Our toddler and 10 year thoroughly enjoyed the place. Would definitely recommend the place

Kids Loved it. Better than Great wolf Lodge. Still Very crouded at certain times of the day. Small water park with a HEAVILY chlorinated outdoor pool, ~6 water slides of different types, a play area for little kids,indoor pool for swim lessons, ping-pong tables, and pricy food. Would recommend bringing goggles when going here because the chlorine is pretty bad. Other than that we had a fun day in the chemicals.

Cabanas are always sold out. Reserve early. Appreciate the indoor Natatorium. No lazy river like Aqua Adventure and Great Wolf.

I went on a Monday and it was not busy. We had the park to ourselves basically. We didn't have to wait in line for any of the slides.

First I want to say the staffs and instructor were all Very…read morenice and professional. This review is about the manager and how she doesn't understand client needs when it comes to using their services. It shows this establishment is a very cookie cutter academy and best suitable for only kids less than 10 years old ( lanes were Very narrow aka cramped, my kid scraped his back and was bleeding) I called the ASA specifically to inquire if they are a good fit for my child's swimming lesson needs. I have explained in detail what level my child is at which he knows most of the strokes and has been playing waterpolo competitively. He now wants to join a competitive swim team which he wasn't able to bc he didn't know how to do flip turns and he is not very good at back stroke. We want to improve these areas specifically and we want to know if 1, they have a specific class that will fit this need, 2, he is a teenager so we need to know if he personally thinks the class will work for him. The girl offered a trial class and we showed up. She told me over the phone that this class will help with what he needs but ofc when we attended it was a class based on age and not skills. Clearly was not what we were looking for but as I was sitting there, a lady came by asked me what I was looking for bc she can see he was not a little kid and he can almost qualify to be an instructor based on how well he swam. After I explained our situation again which I didn't mind, she said they have a stroke specific class which will make more sense for him. I asked if we can do a trial class she said yes. And, again that's not the case bc when the front desk staffs tried to book one they needed a manager's approval. The manager refused and asked us to pay bc they only offer 1 trial class. I explained the situation being we attended an incorrect class etc then she insisted it doesn't matter bc trial class is to access what level he is at so one class will suffice.... THIS IS THE PART why I wrote this review. As a paying client who has to commit to at least three months of swimming lessons at $52/class, I should have the say so if the class, the instructor, the lessons are going to work for us. We also get to evaluate the school. But from the manager, it's a one way street even though the whole point of a trial class for us was to see if my child will get the training he needs. Not to mention we wasted our time driving to this class on a school day to which it doesn't work for us at all. Like she made it seem like I wanted to get another free class smh. I was even considering private lessons if the instructor was very good at helping my child! It's this type of poor management makes you lose business.

The staff is incredibly friendly and always quick to answer any questions or concerns, which we truly appreciate. My daughter has been swimming here for over a year, and her progress has been amazing. She has gained so much confidence and skill in the water. The instructors are supportive and encouraging--especially Julia, who has been wonderful with my daughter. They also have a fair makeup policy, which makes scheduling much easier for busy families. We're very happy with our experience and highly recommend American Swim Academy.

This review is long overdue. Both my sons age (6) and (3) have taken private swim lessons with Mr…read moreKeith for 2 summers now. In hindsight, maybe it worked to my advantage to not leave a raving review sooner. Mr Keiths schedule books quickly in warm months and my 5 star wouldn't help me so much in securing my kids desired swim slots. No.. but really, Keith is nothing short of AMAZING. He is punctual, reliable, honest, flexible as can be for the most sought after swim lessons in the East Bay Area. He has a natural way of interacting with kids, he gets on their level. Maybe cause he is just like a big kid himself. but Keith really knows how to teach hard concepts and break it down for young minds so they truly understand, learn and grow when applying skills. Keith's own enthusiastic and playful nature combined with instructing in a approachable way attracts the attention of little ones. Despite his childlike teaching style, he consistently sets firm expectations and provides gentle feedback when needed that foster motivation and encourage kids to do their best, truly maximizing every minute of a short swim lesson. I have seen tremendous growth in both my kids with Mr Keith. I will never be going back to a local swim school. That was just a waste of money and pool playtime with friends. If you read this review you dont need to look any further for private swim lessons. I have already researched the best of the best in this area and Mr Keith is it.

My youngest started taking private lessons with Keith last year and has seen tremendous success with swim safety and confidence in the water. There aren't enough words to express our gratitude to Keith for what he's done for our kids. Knowing they are OK in the water is a huge stress relief as a parent. We feel like we really lucked out with his private lessons!! Can't recommend him enough!
