We only had a part of the summer with them and Floaties accommodated us with drop in lessons within our schedule.

My husband and I took our grandchildren to the pool today, and while we had a nice time overall,…read morethere are simply too many rules. I felt like I was being monitored the entire visit by overly controlling lifeguards. The office employee at the front was very nice, but once you get inside, the atmosphere becomes uncomfortable. At one point I was barked at to move because some kids needed to take a swim test. Later, my granddaughter was swimming, so I got in the pool with her because she had to wear a red wristband due to her age--even though she swims perfectly well. I was standing on the pool steps in the water, but the lifeguard insisted I had to be fully "in the pool water." I don't understand why it matters whether I'm standing or sitting on the step, especially since I had been sitting there earlier with no issue. I used to bring my own children to this pool years ago, and people seemed much happier then. You were expected to swim back and forth, not take a formal swim test like you're training for the Olympics. Please do better, Poway. I pay taxes for this pool, and it feels like the people who get the most benefit from it are the lap swimmers and swim classes.

We cannot recommend Coach Dave from Shark Swim Lessons enough!…read more When my son first started, he had very little swimming experience. In just 8 sessions, Coach Dave helped him learn the foundations of swimming with so much patience, encouragement, and professionalism. We continued lessons with him, and 6 months later Archer is now like a little fish in the water What really stands out is Coach Dave's dedication and ability to connect with kids. He makes lessons fun while still building strong technique, confidence, and water safety skills. You can genuinely tell he cares about every child's progress.

Dave is a guru genius who taught me, an unteachable adult onset swimmer, to be comfortable and…read moreenjoy swimming. I could do fine in water - could easily swim, as in not die when thrown in deep water. But I wanted to learn to swim laps/distance for triathlons and exercise and just could not figure it out. And I just could not find the right swim instructor or class for this. There's brand-new-to-water classes that teach you not to die in the water. And then there are classes that teach you to improve your technique in certain strokes. I was stuck in the middle - just could not figure out how to do the freestyle breathing right to even start swimming laps. I tried a couple different instructors, both of whom were probably good college swimmers, and they just had no real insight or experience with struggling to breathe. Enter Dave. In one session, he'd taught me 3x as much as multiple sessions with previous instructors and solo practice had taken me. By session 2, was up to being able to at least swim some short back-and-forths. Things got easier each session, and I left the initial package of lessons I bought feeling comfortable in the pool. Have since made a lot of progress, including some long open-water swims in the ocean. All thanks to Dave's great instruction.

We've also had a few other wonderful instructors along the way--British Swim School really puts together a great team.

The main one (on Aviary Dr) has all the amenities. Olympic size swimming pool, 4 tennis courts, 8 pickleball courts, basketball court, workout gym (yoga, plate, etc.), weight room, jacuzzi, spa, etc.. They even have a children's play area and summer camps for the young ones. The 2nd location (Trail Dr) is a little smaller but has most of the amenities and more (5 tennis courts, an Olympic size swimming pool, 2 racquetball courts, a sand volleyball court, a miniature golf course, and a children's play area and daycare). Scripps Ranch community has grown in size and population. Therefore, patience is needed to gain membership at SRSRC. the resident membership waiting period is about 2-3 years.

(This review is for the basic adult group swim lesson) I…read morejust took a basic adult group swim lesson at this facility. It was every Mon & Wed for 30 mins each time for 2 weeks. I was super excited when I found out there were only 3 women in the group. I wasn't excited anymore after 2nd session. During the first session I learned that one of women in the group already knew how to swim and she was there to learn how to lap swim. So basically she already knew how to do free style and could swim from one end to the other end of pool without any problem. She just wanted to polish and refine her techniques. She should have taken an intermediate swim lesson, not a basic lesson. Oh, and a private lesson, not a group lesson. I started feeling uneasy when I noticed the coach spent way more time with that woman than rest of us. The coach spent about 15 mins with her and maybe 5 mins with rest of us each time. It was obvious that woman acting like this was her own private lesson, kept on asking the coach tons of questions, interrupting that short 5 min session that the coach was having with another student by asking her to check her own techniques. I know there is always a person who would think she/he is entitled to do so. Then it should be the coach who needs to split the time equally for each student because this is a group lesson, not a private lesson, but the coach failed to do that. So if you are interested in taking a group lesson, look elsewhere.

They have a ton of virtually brand-new courts that are available, and even have several evening open court times as well, including the weekend. If you want a dedicated court to yourself or your four-some, cost is $10 per hour for one court. They also have PB clinics for those needing a brush-up on skills. Depending on where you live, there is sometimes a drought in San Diego of nice, permanately stripped, lighted PB courts. Not out in North Poway!

Beach days were the worst days... not anymore! Pros: -Fin2Swim taught me the proper breathing mechanics. -Fin2Swim taught me the proper floating mechanics. -Fin2Swim taught me to stay patient and relax in the water. -Lessons were priced at a great value as I got lifetime swimming/floating/survival techniques in the water. Conclusion: Living by the water in San Diego requires swimming to live life to the fullest! I no longer fear the water. If you are a full grown adult like me, do it ASAP!

Fast forward to today, and he's now a swim coach here and absolutely loves it. There's something really special about seeing things come full circle. He remembered his experience here so fondly that he decided to apply for a job, and now he's thriving in a place that once helped him grow and build confidence in the water. The environment here has always been welcoming and family-focused, and it's clear they continue to create positive experiences for both kids and staff. They're lucky to have Brody, and he's certainly lucky to be part of such a great team. I still highly recommend the noon and family swim sessions - they're such a fun way for families to enjoy the pool together.

Update 10/04/2026: Very disappointing experience with Coach Jezelle J. She was initially somewhat…read morehelpful, but throughout our interaction her demeanor came across as dismissive and unprofessional. We were simply trying to clarify makeup classes, scheduling, and our previously stated preference for a female instructor, but we felt rushed rather than helped, and several of our questions were not clearly addressed. We also tried calling the facility while standing there and the front-desk phone was not ringing properly. After initially being told she did not know what was happening, the issue was eventually acknowledged when the call came through. This was a noticeable contrast to our experiences with Miss Chloe and Coach Rayne, who have consistently been friendly, patient, and accommodating. Unfortunately, our interaction with Coach Jezelle left us feeling unwelcome and frustrated.
