We've tried several swim schools in the area, and this one is by far the best. The instructors truly pay attention to each child's progress and make sure they're developing the skills needed to confidently move up to the next level. I completely trust the instructors, which gives me such peace of mind. Highly recommend!

Classes were ok, I'm an adult learning to swim I don't feel Ann has as much patients with adults as…read moreshe has with children. She even said, it's easier to teach children and while this may be factual the context of the comment had a negative impact to the hearer. Her price point was fair, the pool is small and not deep so difficult to learn things like treading water etc... great location in Rockwall and she was oddly pleasant what i mean is she seemed a bit uncomfortable I'm not sure if this is her innate demeanor or she was uncomfortable around specific types of people, not certain just and observation.

We love Ann's Swim Class! Some of the things we like:…read more -Lessons are semi-private, meaning there are only 2 kids in the class. -Classes are held in a private residential pool that is clean and shaded. -There are three different seating areas where parents/families can sit to watch the lesson. At least one area is always in the shade. -We work with Kale. Since he is also a school teacher, he understands how to be calm and encouraging, yet firm and disciplined. We have never had Anne as our instructor, but she handles the business end of it, and has always been friendly and organized. I think very highly of their character. -Students swim for the ENTIRE thirty minutes. They never waste time sitting on the step waiting for someone else to take a turn. ***This is very different from the large swim school we tried last year. The classes were so big that only 10-15 minutes was spent swimming. The rest of the time was spent sitting on the step waiting for the other kids to take their turns. - While the instructor (Kale) works with one child privately, he gives the other child an assignment or task to work on independently. Examples of independent tasks for a beginner: putting face underwater on the step to grab fish; wearing a flotation device to practice scooping; and using a barbell to kick from one side of the pool to the other. -The price is very reasonable. It only cost $10 more for a semi-private class here (only 2 students in the class) than a group class with 6 students at a large swim school. Worth it.

We paid $5 per person to swim inside. The huge hot tub area is my favorite but with young kids with us I wasn't able to enjoy it more than 5 minutes. The little lazy river is fun and the toddler area with the slides is also very fun. The changing rooms are nice and clean and have a family one which made it easier for use ladies to change with our young male kids. They have this drying machine in there that is out of this world!! I've never seen one of these before and I recommend any community pool business to get one. After changing you can add your wet swimsuit in it, close the lid and hold it down for 8 seconds and it spins all the water out.

Even after all this time, my son who is a teenager now, remembers this event. At the time he…read morecouldn't explain very well what happened as he had a language disorder. Now he can explain exactly what happened. Ms. Sharla was furious that he and another boy were playing when they were supposed to be quiet. She picked him up, shoved him forward with great force against some cabinets, catching his back on the counter top above the cabinets. At the time and to this day, I can't believe the deceit. At first she said nothing happened. Then she said she assisted him to time out. Then she said he fell off a table. I still have the pictures of the bruise on his back. It was a heartbreaking event. From reading other reviews, it doesn't sound like much has changed.

Lifetime is an incredible gym. Yes, premium priced, but you get a lot for your money. We've been…read moremembers for almost 2 years and have loved it. The child center is fantastic. They are so great with the kids and it frees me up to lift, play pickleball, or participate in a class. They will watch your child for up to 2.5 hours which should be more than enough time for a workout and shower. Additionally, kids can participate in fun activities like rock climbing, ballet, hip hop dancing, and martial arts while you work out. The thing that really drove home the value for me was the parents night out. Every week they will watch your children for 3 hours on Friday or Saturday night. On the pickleball front, it's hard to beat having 6 indoor courts, which are relatively easy to book - all at a cost of membership that is comparable to pickleball clubs.

I have been a member of Lifetime Fitness for over 20 years (based at the Plano and Allen…read morefacilities) For a place that calls itself an "Athletic Country Club" with the continually increasing prices to match, this place does not live up to the moniker. In particular, as a customer of the Allen Spa I have never understood why the spa did not have it's own bathroom facility. Massages, facials, and hair appointments frequently take a while. It is reasonable that someone would want to use the restroom before, during or after a service. The idea that you have to walk across the entire facility to the locker rooms for their 5 aged and sad looking stalls in the ladies locker room seemed ridiculous and potentially embarrassing. So the "brilliant" answer was using the much closer "family" bathroom in the "family" locker room. That was workable, but certainly not a great answer. And now they have decided that Spa clients are no longer allowed to use the "family" bathroom. I do not know the real reasons why, but I assume it has something to do with not being a "family." Locked out! So we are now fully expected to trek our foiled, caped and oily bodies across the very large and very public facility to those previously mentioned locker rooms. I know of no country club that would expect its members to parade around in such a manner, nor inconvenience their hard working stylists and therapists with a bathroom so very far away. I really wish the Lifetime would fix this situation. It makes visiting the Spa stressful rather than Zenlike and peaceful....which is how a spa should feel.

We enrolled right away. Classes are really small and the teachers give great personalized instruction to each kid. My girl, who was afraid to put her face in the water, went from hanging on the side of the pool to swimming 1/2 way across the width of the pool (without floaties or help!) within a matter of weeks. They do a temp check upon entering the school for kids and parents alike and have spaced out chairs for parent viewing. And they are constantly cleaning the space. We love coming here to swim!

It is right off of 121 and is super convenient, no matter where you are coming from. Cleanliness: 5/5. A lot of pools and schools can sometimes feel cluttered. Every time I've been everything has been very organized. Its a swim school so obviously there will be water in common areas near the pool. I am so grateful that they have adult swimming classes. I do wish they had alternative time options, but just the fact they have this is a 5/5 for me. The staff and instructors are all very friendly. Everyone always seems to have a smile on their face which makes getting into a pool a little less anxious. I have never had any issues with customer service. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for swim lessons, regardless if it is for adults or kids! You will not be disappointed!
