Every summer I bring my son here for his swimming lessons. They use the Olympic pool size. The…read moreteachers are the students of UOP and member of the water polo sports. I would say that the prices are competitive with the other swimming schools . My son enjoys his summer here and meeting new friends each time . There's also a bathroom that they can use . Overall the faculty is always clean and we will always be coming back every summer.

We only had one swim lesson with Giulia due to my work schedule, but even in that short time she…read morewas wonderful. Giulia was attentive, patient, and incredibly kind with my toddler. I could tell that with more sessions, my little one would have grown so much more comfortable and confident in the water. We really appreciated her approach and will definitely be signing up again next summer!

Really great instructor for adults. I'm 28 years old and never learned how to swim growing up, and…read moreshe was super patient with me! She also approaches teaching in different ways until it makes sense to you. Super grateful to have taken the classes and to no longer be afraid of the water!

This review is way overdue. I took my son to Shelby for ISR in 2019. My personal experience with…read moreShelby was not a good one. Granted, it was her first time doing ISR, but she was not my cup of tea. When you are working with babies and children, I feel like you should have a kind way about you... you should ENJOY working with children or you shouldn't be doing so. When working with my son, she became easily frustrated and it was plainly evident. It was evident to my (at the time) 10 month old, as well. It affected his entire experience and outcome. The thing that REALLY rubbed me the wrong way was the fact that when I turned on my camera to video my son floating, she became sweet as pie. Her whole demeanor changed; the frustration left her face, the tone of her voice changed, she played with him, did "look at the bubbles!", etc. completely fake. And then as soon as my phone went down, she reverted back to the cold, uncaring person she was before. Harsh review, I know, but it's the truth. I would not take my children back and would strongly advise friends and family to seek lessons elsewhere.

We found Shelby White after months of searching for infant swim instructors. Being a first-time…read moremom, I really didn't know what I was looking for, but did know I wanted to enroll my son in some type of water safety classes. Although we don't have a pool at home, we have relatives with pools and we love to take the kayaks out on the water. Now that my son was walking, I wanted to make sure I took the necessary precautions before subjecting my son to a potentially dangerous situation. Long story short, we came across Delta Babies and I contacted Shelby to see what options we had. She responded right away and offered her available spots for the next season. We were provided a ton of information on the ISR program and the benefits it has and signed our son up right away. I was thankful she was able to fit us in, on such short notice (her schedule fills up quick)! For the first few weeks, my son cried the entire time, which I guess is normal for some kids. After about week 3, he was actually practicing his floats and rotations in the tub on his own. I love that Shelby will work with kids that need additonal time at no charge! Our son finished the float course and we have him enrolled in the next course which starts in a few weeks. I've asked him if he wants to go swim with Shelby again and he now says "Yah, Sha-Bee". I honestly have nothing bad to say about Shelby. She is an amazing instructor, very outgoing, and is great with kids. I'm so glad we found her!

Best swim lessons in town. Done at the UOP pool. There are several sessions in the summer. Each…read moresession is two weeks long and includes 8 lessons. A good way to learn a lot quickly.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Lisa is beyond unprofessional. She demanded to be paid up front, because…read moreshe was so booked. However, countlessly had excuses for last minute cancellations. We wouldn't find out she's wasnt coming until WE REACHED OUT TO HER. Today was her 4th cancelation. Lisa is a total fraud. She only communicated via text. See screenshots below. I'll post more since my husband also communicated with her. As of today, she has responded to my review and non of our texts requesting for a refund for her failure to keep her end of our agreement. Lisa, these aren't feelings they're facts. Facts that prove your unprofessionalism to take accountability for your actions that created unsatisfied experience for a customers. Do better, trying is an excuse.

FRAUD ALERT: DO NOT HIRE HER AT ANY COST AND DEFINITELY DON'T PAY HER UPFRONT. If you pay her,…read moreconsider that money is gone. Because she won't show up. I wish I checked her yelp page before I paid her because clearly I am not the first person she pulled this fraud on. She had done it before and looks like she is a professional at. I found her on superproof app. Lisa had her website listed so I went to check it out and she immediately pinged me on it. She was very friendly. She asked me to pay upfront for all 3 classes including the travel fees. Even though, she was insisting, I said I was willing to pay for 1 class first and go from there. She agreed to it. She said her cashapp is having issues but asked me to send it to her son's Zelle account. I did hesitate it at the beginning but thought who would want to risk their business to scam someone for one class fee. Well I guess, someone like Lisa would. I decided to pay and book her. I sent her son the money as requested. I even sent her $1 first to test if its the right account and sent her the rest. On the day of the lesson, I texted her to confirm and then she said you have to pay in full to book her. I said I paid in full for 1 class so why not do that class first. I provided my phone number to her for future communication but she still was sending me messages via her website which I don't get notifications for, so I missed the message she sent asking me for full payment. On the day of the class, when it was clear to me that she won't be coming anymore, I asked her to refund and she agreed to it. However, it's been over 3 weeks and no refund and she won't answer my calls nor text. Her son's Zelle account is also disconnected. SO BEWARE and STAY AWAY! I have screenshots of her text messages saying she will refund and me following up multiple times.

Some of the girls act as though they want to be any where else, others speak ill of the parents/guardians or the ones assisting them to their aquatic appts, once they have left the building.

Service First is a special needs swim program. I have 2 children one verbal and one non verbal. My…read moreverbal child graduated the program and was actually very sad. He enjoyed his lessons so much. My second child is still a student there and tbe staff is so patient with her. This is the only program to teach special needs kids to swim that doesn't charge an obscene amount of money for less. Everything for our kids is always more expensive so I appreciate this program. The people there are patient and accommodating, especially considering they also have to deal with some parents with unrealistic expectations and a lack of understanding. I recommend this program all the time I brag to my family about how well my kids are doing. Take some of the negative reviews with a grain of salt. One in particular because this parent changed the wording of their review on this platform but im posting the other one they left. Which points out exactly why they were asked to leave. Race related Comments are unacceptable and shame on this parent for going there and then making it seem like it was the programs fault. How dare you! Own your own mistakes and your own racism work on YOURSELF before you go risking MY child's program because you can't control yourself.

Cyndi is amazing! I'm 55, totally uncoordinated and was terrified of water. That was last summer…read more Not anymore! She is very talented at what she does. She doesn't just swim well, she knows how to say things in a way that you can actually process her directions and do them. I had spent at least four summers trying to learn in group settings and simply couldn't.. that's a reflection on my lack of coordination and fear LOL it took her one day in the water with me to get me treading water because she could tell me how to do things in a way that made sense to me.

My 12 year old daughter is neurodivergent and high functioning autistic. She has anxiety and an…read moreexcuse for everything. (As I type this sentence, she's saying one.) Cyndie was able to manage her AND teach her. She also helped her love swimming. So much that she actually agreed to join our local swim team this year without all the normal resistance that we usually get when we suggest new activities. That is a HUGE win in my book, only made possible by Cyndie. Cyndie is respectful of MY time and my investment. She starts every lesson time and gives my daughter focused attention during the whole lesson. Her online scheduling was easy, quick, and clear, accommodating my hectic summer schedule. The price honestly took me back. More than any other swim teachers I've done with my others kids. As I think of my 2 other kids swim lessons, they spent much of the lesson trying to convince them to get into the cold pool, and managing their shivers. Cyndie HEATS her pool. (And as a PG and E customer and pool owner, I KNOW this is not cheap $$$) What I also know is, warm water equals quicker learning and more success. And that is what Lodi Swim Training has provided my daughter, Success and a love for swimming.
