She knew how to speak to our kids, tell them about water safety, and the most important things to know when in the water. The kids loved her! She even handled my child with respect and consideration when my girl completely shut down and freaked out - Tatev knew how to handle her, and always communicated to me that it's normal and that my girl will swim with confidence - and she did and does! We cannot thank Tatev and sun rays enough. Now we love the water and feel confident that our kids know what to do, besides have fun :) yes, swim lessons take time, consistency is key...and a heated pool helps A LOT!

We've had an absolutely wonderful experience with Christiana as our swimming instructor at Sun Rays…read moreSwim Academy. From the very first lesson with my toddler, it was clear how passionate and skilled she is at teaching. We tried group lessons with 3 other kids in our family, in the comfort of our own home pool. Christiana has a warm, encouraging approach that helped build confidence quickly, especially in the early stages when things felt a bit overwhelming for us mamas. She's incredibly patient, always attentive to individual needs, and finds the perfect balance between pushing for progress and making sure her students feel safe and supported. Whether it was mastering a new skills or simply getting more comfortable in the water, Christiana's guidance made all the difference. Each lesson was thoughtfully structured, fun, and productive. It's rare to find someone who combines technical knowledge, teaching ability, and genuine care so seamlessly. We can't recommend Christiana highly enough -- she's a fantastic instructor and a real asset to Sun Rays Swim Academy! We can't thank you enough!

In my perspective, swimming is a very important part of life. It can mean life or death in certain…read moresituations. So we wanted to get our little ones equipped as soon as possible with the best lessons possible. With that said we looked around and found swimming success and we contacted them through email and set up appointments for lessons. I have to say that the email process did take a little longer than I would've expected, because sometimes it would be days before I would hear back from their contact. We finally got things situated where both our kids would be able to take lessons at the same time, which was exactly what we are looking for. I like how the website outlines what to expect out of the lessons and gives an overview of how the lessons will likely go. For the first 3 to 4 lessons my son was yelling and screaming for his life but by the fifth lesson he was confident enough to jump into the pool by himself! My daughter didn't really know how to swim at all when starting these lessons and by the eighth day, she was able to swim pretty much across the pool all by herself. That is very very impressive! The instructors pay close attention to each one of their students. They knowledgeable to know how far they can push the student to make big progress. The only thing that I did not like about about the lessons is that they mentioned at the end of the last lesson that my son might not be able to actually swim on his own until he turns 4 because usually at age 3 and below children are not able to hold up their bodies and lift up their neck because their muscles have not developed enough to do so yet. Had I known this, I would have waited a year and saved our money to put him in lessons next year. Now I'm a bit freaked out because he feels fully confident jumping in a pool that he is not able to swim in. Otherwise, I am very happy with the lessons they took! I was reading over other reviews and it seems there is a communication problem but this wasn't really the situation I had. They got back to me within a day or two, and they were extremely helpful over email. I would totally recommend giving them a try to get your kids to learn to swim. They will get the job done, but my advise would be to make sure your kid(s) are at least 4-5 years old. Otherwise you'll waste $300.

I can't say enough positive things about Swimming Success--I have an older daughter who had had two…read moreyears of private swim lessons in our own pool, and STILL couldn't swim. I was about to send her to summer camp and was nervous that she still was a poor swimmer. A friend recommended Swimming Success to me and my daughter was swimming by the 2nd day! I was thrilled! It took them two days to accomplish what the other swim lessons couldn't do in two years!! She ended up taking swim here for three years. My son is signed up for his fourth summer of taking the lessons, and I can't say enough positive things about them. In my experience the teachers have been incredibly kind and caring (he has had the same wonderful teacher every year!), and while they do tell the children they need to do certain things, it is never in a mean or unkind way. Both my children love to swim and spend all summer in the pool, so I am thrilled that they have gained such incredible skills at Swimming Success!!

We've had such an amazing experience with Stew! My 6 year old daughter went from being shy and…read morenervous around the water to absolutely loving swim lessons and it's all thanks to his patience, kindness, and skill. He has a wonderful way of making each lesson fun while still building strong swimming skills. My daughter looks forward to every session and is so proud to show me what she's learned. Stew is always encouraging and explains things in a way kids can understand. It's clear he truly cares about his students' progress and confidence, not just about teaching strokes. If you're looking for a swim instructor who is professional, caring, and genuinely amazing with kids, I cannot recommend Swimming Tiger enough!

Anna at Hall Swim Academy is an excellent teacher…read more Two years ago, my son (who was 7 at the time) was going to another swim school and was doing ok but advancing slowly. As part of that school's safety training, they threw him in the water wearing street clothes. He was doing ok for about 30 seconds but then panicked and started to sink so one of the teachers had to jump in and pull him out. (It was partially my fault since I mistakenly had him wear long pants that absorbed water). Anyhow, he freaked out and got very scared. We continued to go to that school for several more weeks but he stagnated with his training and the teacher became frustrated and tried to push him too hard so he had a melt down. Fast forward two years, I started taking him to the Hall Swim Academy west LA location about 2 months ago and he started trying again to learn how to swim with Anna. Anna is extremely kind and patient with kids. She demonstrates what she wants him to do and corrects mistakes in his floating and swim strokes and has him repeat as necessary. She is able to recognize how much to push and when to give him more space and repeats instructions as necessary. He loves going to swim class with Anna and is motivated to learn so he can swim with his friends at summer camp. Yesterday, he had two major breakthroughs. He spent most of the class in the pool without wearing goggles which he previously refused to do. Then, on his own, he decided he wanted to try the swim test. So, he put on street clothes over his swim suit, jumped in the water, floated on his back for 20 seconds and then easily swam to the side of the pool and climbed out on his own. He was so proud of himself for overcoming his fear and is now looking forward to his next class with Anna. I am very grateful to Anna for her kindness, professionalism, excellent teaching skills and being such a good motivator. Thank you!!

Teacher D brings enthusiasm, encouragement, silliness and playfulness into the pool, teaching the kids skills and allowing them to have fun all at the same time. My favorite part about Teacher D is how he begins each lesson with "Pool Rules" (i.e., never swim by yourself, if someone is in trouble run and get help and don't try to save them yourself, etc.). My kids have memorized the Pool Rules and can recite them even when not in the pool. Thank you for teaching our kids the skills necessary to learn how to swim while also having so much fun with them!

You can reserve these for birthday parties and other gatherings! It really wasn't that crowded and there are benches along the outskirts of the playground for parents to sit.

A week later I was working out for about an hour before I started going hypoglycemic. I felt like fainting. So I sat down on that same bench and ate my food to stabilize my blood sugars. Logan rudely interrupts and proceeds to tell me I can no longer eat on the bench (that he previously gave me permission to) that's completely separated with a wall partition from the rest of the gym. He tried kicking me out for eating a meal! This is discriminatory behavior and should not be tolerated! I contacted corporate because the way he escalated the situation was completely unnecessary. There's no need to kick me out of my own gym when I could barely walk. It seems like Logan is abusing his staff power instead of taking care of his members. I should've been asked if I was feeling ok instead of being asked to leave. I'm terminating my membership as soon as the 2 year commitment expires.
