My swimming lesson with Vladimir was excellent. I am a senior who never had a swimming lesson…read morebefore but have never been afraid of the water. My goal is to learn to breathe correctly so that I can do laps at any swimming pool for exercise. Vlad is super! He has started teaching me strokes and how to breathe and while not easy at the beginning with practice I will be on my way! I enjoy not being committed to schedule as I mind my grandchildren quite a bit so the flexibility built into this program is perfect for me. The plan is to practise at my local pool between lessons. I am very happy with my instructor Vladimir and the Propel Swim School. Thank you.

Got tired of rec centre swim lessons, after I calculated how many actual "minutes" of practice my…read moredaughter was in the pool for, I opted to try propel. WHAT A DIFFERNCE! Wyatt has been our instructor and he is so kind and teaches with so much ease. After a couple sessions I have seen much progress and confidence grow within my daughter. I wish I knew about propel sooner, it is money well spent.

*Review based mainly on the Gym*…read more South Surrey Indoor Pool definitely looks like it's been here before the newer gym facilities like Grandview Aquatic Center and South Surrey Recreation Center. The building isn't as bright and doesn't have the fancy upgrades but it still does its job as an aquatic center and gym. I generally only come here if South Surrey Rec is closed (since Indoor Pool will stay open an extra hour on weekends). The gym feels darker and more enclosed with the lower ceilings. It gives off a more underground gym feeling but it still has all the foundational equipment to get your workout done. They have a smith machine, squat rack, free weights, weighted cable machines and weighted bars. Everything is a little dated but still works. A dedicated space in the back for Cardio - equipped with ellipticals, treadmills, stationary and bikes. There's several TVs to view while you do your cardio as well. Overall, you can get a decent workout done without much fuss but make sure to bring your own headphones if you need a good jam to bring on the sweat because they don't play any music overhead. Plenty of free parking on the lot. When you scan in or pay for a drop-in session, they don't do wrist bands here unlike South Surrey Rec. Centre.

Here's the drill:…read more Wait for the (quinquagenarian, sexagenarian, septuagenarian, octogenarian, nonagenarian) to exit the piece of equipment that they have been monopolizing for the last half hour. Once your set is finished, move on to your next intended exercise, and wait the next half hour for that piece of equipment to be free from the grey set. While exercising, lose your concentration as your body is licked from head to toe by the scores of overzealous eyes. Change out of your sodden exercise attire in a malodourous change room that is dripping in bacteria, and the sexually maladjusted/frustrated. Hideous beyond description, and the sooner this tired old dinosaur is buried, the better!

Once we moved him to Lydia's Swimming Club, he immediately evolved into a skilled, competitive swimmer.

This swim club has been a life-saver for my child (almost literally!). After having watched my son…read more(age 7 now) spend over a year in pointless 30 minutes Burnaby recreational swimming lessons (with 8 kids per group and overworked, time pressured instructors), failing levels over and over again, I decided to give this club a try. In just the past 4 lessons with Dynamo Swim Club he has improved exponentially. He now has a confidence and enthusiasm for swimming which was sadly lacking, due to his previous experiences. I sincerely recommend this club to every parent that has been though the same scenario as myself. Lidia and her team of instructors are kind, knowledgable and encouraging. The class sizes are small and the lesson time of one hour makes a big difference. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

I'm not sure where their 5 star reviews come from on Google but the ones you find here are accurate…read morefor our experience. The communication between the program leader Chris and the instructor was terrible. They state one family member can stay to watch however once there we were told no one could stay. I had to leave my young daughter with a teenager instructor and 5 other small kids. I didnt notice much change with her swimming form or progress. I reached out to Chris several times during the program trying to figure out a solution, perhaps a different instructor would have been a better fit. It would take him days to respond, sometimes I had to follow up a second email because he didn't respond at all. Not worth the money, do not recommend

The most unethical company I have ever dealt with. They don't allow cancelations or make up…read moreclasses. They take your money and will only credit 20% with a doctor's note. You lose the full amount if you cancel but when they cancel on you they don't refund only credit forcing you you to continue because you don't want to walk away from hundreds of dollars. The programs are so expensive and a lot of people can not continue season after season but when they have your money on credit, it forces your hands to sign up again and again. My kids have been going here for 2 yrs but have not improved much and we weren't able to find that out because they don't allow parents in the pools! They should be refunding people when they cancel and it's not in our controls! Should also add that our kids were taking semi-private lessons so we were charged more money than kids in group lessons. Then this season all of a sudden there were 3 other kids in our kids class and they neglected to tell us about it. Upon calling them out on it, they then admitted that they overcharged us and again credited us the difference. And they don't credit the referral money until you call them out on it. Watch your accounts and call them out on all their scams! I'm so shocked how long this company has been operating under these awful conditions. Their customers is awful and they are the greediest and unethical people I have ever dealt with! If you've never enrolled with them, please don't start. The never ending billing and crediting will have you trapped!

Carrie has a fantastic manner and has created a safe, professional facility with every possibility covered. My dog really responded well and relaxed quickly with Carrie. She pays close attention to the dog' s stress and fatigue levels and listens to everything you and your dog has to say. My dog is just turning 12 and has slowed down quite a bit and the last 6 months. Swimming is giving her back her bounce in a safe, stress-free way. Instead of sacking out in exhaustion after swimming, she races around the house like a puppy! Highly recommended!
