    Instructor Bri
    Jewelyn M.

    The program and staff at American Swim Academy for the most part have been great to work with. Some of the staff are technically well-trained and I could see the thoughtfulness behind each progression. I was also appreciative of some of the staff who had great EQ as they've made my reluctant 6yo as comfortable as possible. Our 2yo's teacher, Bri Martin, is 5 stars. Unfortunately, the class my 6yo was in did experience at least 4 different teachers which reflects in her lack of progression compared to my 2yo's experience. It is because of this constant change that I felt like my 6yo had to start over building trust, which takes away from the class and lessons. Continuity, or even a heads up, that her instructor was switching would have been appreciated. Overall, I would come back especially for Bri and ask more questions to understand expectations before signing up my 6yo.

    We have been coming for the last 9 months. It was a little crazy just trying to sign up but once we got in it was pretty easy to continue. This place is pricey but it is worth it for our kids to learn to swim year round with really warm water (92 degrees). My 4.5 year old son was very afraid of the water when he started and now he is much more comfortable. My 3 year old daughter is very close to swimming

    We absolutely LOVE Silas!! They are the best instructor ever! Our daughter is usually shy with most "strangers" but went to Silas on the first day! We probably continue to come here because of Silas! Hopefully silas will be teaching our next Aquababies course! Not sure why it's rated so low, I think the only thing we dislike is the price( it's a bit more- but it's worth it) and the whole online portal thing is a mess. It would be nice to have the online option as well as cancelling and rescheduling in person while we're here.

    Group lessons are always fun!

    The facility is nice, but the pace is very slow and the teachers keep changing. It's hard to see consistent progress.

In less than six months, she has been learning essential skills with the right technique. My 3-year-old also started at British Swim at the same time, and in less than six months, he went from not liking to be in water to beginning to back float. At British Swim, they truly focus on teaching water survival skills using proper techniques and structured methods. Their step-by-step approach ensures that kids learn all swimming styles correctly and confidently. The coaches, Mr. Forest and Tina, are fantastic with children and pay close attention to detail. The academy also has a great cancellation and makeup policy, making scheduling convenient for busy families. Neeru, the owner, goes above and beyond to ensure each child is progressing and receiving the right guidance. She is also incredibly helpful with scheduling, always finding solutions when conflicts arise. After such a positive experience with my kids, I decided to take adult classes myself to refine my swimming technique. In just two lessons, I've already learned a great deal. I highly recommend British Swim to anyone looking for focused, results-driven swim coaching for kids at the right pace.

My little started swim lessons around 20 months old and is now 5.5 years old! We have been coming weekly to this location, and it has seriously become a second home to us with a large extended family! Over the years we have had many amazing swim instructors including Ms. Marissa, Ms. Angelina, Ms. Karyn, Ms. Rachel, Ms. Corey, and countless wonderful others who have helped my little learn to swim across the pool in all four strokes before age 5. Every time we walk in the door my little is greeted by the front desk and office staff by name and it makes us feel so welcomed. The facility is always clean and organized (thanks Jan and team!). Each staff member working knows my child's level and how to help her improve her swim strokes. I also appreciate how the staff is very organized and everyone has a clear job that gets done in the pool, outside of the pool, and around the building. As a parent, I am so thankful for this large group of trusted adults that have not only taught my little how to swim, but have created amazing memories for her (like singing Taylor Swift at the top of their lungs and having us participate in a promotional photo shoot) and given her a wide net of trusted adults that she feels comfortable with and learns from.

My 5 year old barely knows freestyle and no other strokes. I just got the notice that he has achieved a Beginner Safety Skill 'Tread water 5 sec, ret to wall, climb out'. My opinion starts here: Really, that is what you spend the 30 minute session with another learner, so 15 minutes actually; to practice AND test? Final painful learning: You can't trust them to actually teach your child to swim. I told them this is the last quarter we are with them because I am putting him in swim team in the summer. Apparently, swim team only need 2 strokes and to scale a regulation pool. I thought the response was going to be ok, let's work on the endurance, because, you know, I still trusted that my kid was going to be a foundationally trained swimmer as I have been very trusting and patient with their 'method'. The response after the class was 'I see that our instructor is not giving feedback, that is how they usually accelerate. I told them to give feedback.' Planning to file a formal complaint.

We felt comfortable allowing our children (ages 11 and 8) to walk around the park and return to our bungalow on their own because the area felt safe and well-managed. We especially appreciated having a dedicated host assigned to us. Rylan did an excellent job throughout the day. He was communicative, professional, friendly, and genuinely concerned about ensuring we had a positive experience. His efforts did not go unnoticed. Overall, we can see that the park has made adjustments to better meet guests' needs. For example, the use of QR codes and digital ordering options made food purchases more convenient. One improvement we would love to see in the future is the automatic application of seasonal passholder discounts when guests are signed in and ordering through the QR code system. Since our account information is already connected, this would make the process more seamless. We did encounter an issue with the food. We ordered several pizzas for our group, and unfortunately they arrived undercooked and doughy. As a result, much of the pizza went to waste, and we had to order additional food. We shared this concern with a member of the management team, who was very pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, I do not recall his name, as I do not believe he was wearing a name tag. The pool area was very well managed. We felt our children were safe, and there appeared to be an adequate number of staff members actively monitoring the swimming areas. We appreciate the attention given to guest safety. We do believe a dress code should be enforced to better align with the family-oriented environment of the establishment. Overall, we had a great time and appreciate the efforts being made to enhance the guest experience. We look forward to returning in the future.
