My daughter attends this school for swimming and it has gone really well. She started at 5 months…read moreand has graduated to level 2 already! Now, the only gripe I have about the school is when they have subs for the normal swim teachers. I understand that life happens, but when the sub seems clueless to how the class is organized, it becomes frustrating. Not only for the babies, but also for the parents paying the school fee. I have seen it a few times where the parents are complaining about the class. The training could be a little cleaner or at least have a veteran teacher with someone who is new. Overall a great experience and will recommend the school to any babies or kids who need to learn swimming!

Signed up semi-private lessons for two of my kids last month. Two lessons a week, Thursdays and…read moreFridays. Billing period states June 27 to July 26. I decided to put the classes on hold after one billing period due to vacation plans. Gave them 30 days notice as requested. So there should be 10 lessons in total which ends today, July 26. My husband took kids to lesson yesterday July 25. He thought swim lessons has ended because instructor told him yesterday was the last session. I knew today's the last lesson at the back of my head because we have received only 9 sessions so far. I had to call them to ask why it was cancelled. No explanation given. They reinstated my session immediately. If you like this swim school, good for you. Pricing is competitive and kids have extracurricular activities. However I won't be signing up for another billing cycle due to their glitchy useless app for private classes, subpar lessons and overwhelmed instructors who take a few minutes off of each session. Below is more insight into my personal experience. Keep reading if you are interested. - I had the perfect disaster month of the year to sign up. June to July. Fourth of July fell on a Thursday this year. As a result, my Thursday session was cancelled. And they also cancelled Friday 7/5. No cancellation notifications received. We showed up for Friday lesson. Had to come back home. No makeup passes were issued - I had to call multiple times to schedule two makeup classes because they cannot schedule more than three days in advance for private lessons. I don't have any power in the app because I signed up for semi-private lessons. They have to do it from their end. Paid more money for zero convenience. Want app power? Go for regular classes that share time with three other kids. Your child will receive instructions for about 7 minutes per session and watch his/her classmates for 23 minutes. We see it as a complete waste of time. Upgrade to private classes and pay more. You will lose app control. We had a makeup class on a busy Wednesday evening. All swim lanes were occupied. My kids were pushed to the stairs near the exit and handicapped chair. My daughter kept hitting the chair everytime she comes out of water. This is the kind of treatment you will get here for paying more money for private classes. Messy management and the front desk has no idea what they are doing. My calls were always put on hold while they find out answers for me. Manager Gillian was only interested in selling the plan to us during first visit. No more interactions afterwards even though I see her behind the desk time to time. These 30 minutes lessons always end 3-4m early. No I do not appreciate that. Let kids stay in water for full 30 then discuss progress with parents after. Also I find instructors feedback are very generalized and not really helpful to parents. We worked with 3-4 different instructors over the past month. My kids favorite was coach Rachel but she often seem overworked. School has plenty of changing rooms so you don't have to worry in that department. Bathrooms are maintained clean. However, One swim dryer has been broken for the entire month we were there. They never fixed it. Overall this is a shady place that's not fully transparent with their operating practices. Also from my personal analysis there's a certain skill ceiling for kids here. They won't become swim experts because management is only trying to squeeze money out of your wallet for long run. Interest to kids progress comes second to them.

We were members of another pool last year. It was a beautiful pool, but since our kids do not go to…read morethe elementary schools in that subdivision, our family felt a bit out of place.

We've had a good experience at Cub Run Rec Center overall. We've enrolled our kids in the swimming…read morelessons, and while the classes were affordable and did a nice job helping them become comfortable and familiar with the water, they seemed to focus more on water confidence than teaching actual swimming skills. We've also visited the water park several times, and our kids always have a great time. It's clean, well-maintained, and offers enough variety to keep them entertained for a few hours. Overall, I'd consider Cub Run one of the better rec centers in Fairfax County. The facilities are nice, the pricing is reasonable, and it's a great place for families.

Great family splash park and olympic sized gym! Only $27 for a family pack. It's ran by the county…read moreso you do have to show your ID to make sure you're a county resident. We could've easily spent 4 hrs here. There are several life guards on duty and the kids had a blast! There are 2 large water slides, one that goes outside and ends up inside as well as a smaller kids water jungle gym and a whirlpool that our kids loved! The giant hot tub is for 16 yrs and older.

For swim lessons, I would highly recommend Goldfish. My oldest started in the parent and me…read more(Mini-1) class and is now in their upper level swim team (called Swim Force). Along the way she has had some stand out instructors- some just really connected with her and she is now a better swimmer than I will ever be. The heated pool really helps especially at younger ages. She looks forward to every class. Now I've started with the youngest in the parent and me class, and she is already super comfortable in the water. Its not perfect- we've had a couple teachers who just didn't click along the way, but rescheduling to another class has been fairly easy as needed. Sometimes you get a sub who might not be as experienced, but its just one class. This has been outweighed by the other excellent instructors that my daughters have had. Management has also been very easy to work with and accommodating.

EDITED TO ADD: We did not show up late to the trial class. It was our friend with their own account…read morethat showed up late. However, instead of calling me directly to confirm what happened, the owner of this location assumed (incorrectly) and then tried to use that to justify our poor experience. Their young instructor was not safely handling my child and for that reason as well as how unprofessional the owner is, we will not be back. My child's safety( especially in water) is of the highest importance to me. As well as having management who can take responsibility and making positive changes. Today I took my daughter for a trial class. We recently went to the beach and also swam in a pool and I noticed she was a bit nervous about the water. She is 3. I will say the whole sign up process was easy and the front desk staff was very helpful. Our trial class was at 4:30pm. This started off hard because my daughter has never been in the water alone with anyone except me or her dad. There were two instructors and I did explain to both that my daughter was very afraid of the water. The instructor with brown hair was not great with kids and was not very social. When she got my daughter in the water the way that she swung her around made me super concerned for my daughter's neck. You just don't move a 3 year old around like that.. and the worst is she kept splashing water in my daughters eyes which ended up with my daughter hysterically crying and we had to leave 15 minutes into the lesson.

The facility offers a good variety of activities and spaces, but some areas feel outdated and could use better maintenance. The staff was polite and helpful, though it was sometimes hard to get assistance during busy hours. Cleanliness was acceptable, but a bit inconsistent depending on the area. Overall, Oakmont Rec Center is a usable community space, but improvements to upkeep and organization would make it a much better experience.

I should have read the reviews here before I called this place. My son did a trial class and they…read morehad us sign up for a month prior to the trial class. At the trial class my son did not want to leave my husband yet the instructor took him away and into the water. My son screamed the whole class. My husband should have gotten him away from this instructor earlier but by the time he did, it was too late. My son, who was never scared of water before, is now terrified of it. He refuses to go into any pool even with us. And best of all, aquatots wont refund us for the month we paid in advance even though we never used any of those classes we paid for. What we did was the "free trial." I hope i can update this with information that they refunded us, but the manager, Selange, refused to even talk to us on the phone.

I was billed for April, and inquired on our last swim class day about this, as our last class per the notice was 2 days past the billing date. They confirmed they had our notice, that it was received on March 9, and was told the withdrawal would be entered by the end of the week, and I would be refunded. I got a class reminder the following week, and called about our withdrawal and refund. I was told again that they had put notice and it would be done by end of week. Then came Easter, with no classes, but I glut a notification that my class was cancelled and a makeup was added to my account. I got another call about my class for this weekend being cancelled due to no instructor, and again told them that we moved, we withdrew from the class a month ago, and we are still waiting for the refunded billing. At this point, I am a few days away from being billed for another month for a service I CANNOT use because I don't live there anymore. I am usually a pretty easy going person, but this is ridiculous.
