    Reviews With Photos - Big Blue Swim School

    Clean, warm pool and not so chaotic waiting areas.

    After moving here a few months ago, I was extremely frustrated with swim classes in the area since my kids could not adjust. So many tears. When we came to this Big Blue swim school, the instructors knew exactly what my kids needed to learn and have a good time at the same time. Thank you to the big blue swim! I like that they keep classes small so the kids can learn well. I like it that instructors are well trained and stay around. I like that they are very flexible when I need to make adjustments for schedule. I could go on and on. My kids love it here!

    My son learning to swim!

    Big Blue Swim School is clean, beautiful facility with amazing swim coaches. If you have a child ages 0-9 years old looking to be introduced to water, or need to learn to swim, I highly recommend Big Blue Swim School in John's Creek, GA.

    They are not well organized and the groups are placed to close to each other. This is not a way to gain or keep kids attention and focus.

Too many swimmers in the team with top swimmers barely able to get value. Coaches rely on 1 or 2 front swimmers to make themselves feel valuable. But the training doesn't target improvements across the team. No engagements if a swimmer doesn't attend trainings but monthly payment deductions are consistent. If you must join here, then pause membership whenever you confirm you won't be able to attend consistent monthly trainings. Resume payment when you're able to attend. The extra free month is to make you be consistent with monthly payment but thats not valuable. Stop payment by sending email notice and restart when you're able. We didn't train for over 6months, because the East Cobb location was outdoor even during the winter with no coverage provided to weather the cold! If joining the East Cobb location, don't join. Training is outdoor even during winter, don't believe promises of getting a tarp, they've been saying that for over 3yrs without actually doing that. Great coach in East Cobb but not worth it. Coach Caleb is totally awful, no engagements with parents other than collecting money. No value add on technique correction because they're like Sardines at GA Tech! Just awful. Try MAAC!

    We had a great experience with Swim Dynamo for several years and HIGHLY recommend Coach Martha and…read moreTom. Unfortunately, the club did not handle an injury well with our daughter as she became a more advanced swimmer. Her "new" coach was more intent on the team winning than earning the trust and respect that a good coach would usually deserve. Which includes creating a welcoming culture, telling athletes to listen to their bodies and ensuring that he/she is PATIENT. We changed clubs as a result of Joey and had no problem doing so as every other coach was very happy to work with a high performance young teenager and help her get "competition ready." Coaching is a seminal component in a teenager's life and we did not feel comfortable with his attitude or interactions with the kids. Mike seems like a great CEO, but not well-informed by the coaching staff -that could be a result of the head coach who we never heard a word from. I would make sure to spend time talking to the coaches before picking Dynamo, depending on the child's age.

    There are many things we have loved about Dynamo. My oldest is 17 and my youngest is 14. They…read morehave been in Dynamo lessons at Chamblee and then part of the club at Oakhurst for almost their entire lives. Out of the blue (or perhaps not so out of the blue because it was literally the day the Oakhurst Coach gave birth), Dynamo eliminated its high school program at Oakhurst with 3 weeks notice. No goodbye to the old coach, leading to sobbing and angry teens. The also not so best part was that they offered a 4pm practice when high school kids in this area get out at 3:45 6 miles away from the new location. Not sure if this was pregnancy discrimination or just awfulness/rudeness, but Dynamo has changed. I did try to reach out to the head coach and got a nasty note back from the Board Chair. You can't count on them to offer consistency, which I think was a hard lesson for my kids and for me since that's what they claim to sell. The City of Decatur should definitely take the Oakhurst pool back from Dynamo.

    Our daughter has been attending weekly 30-minute lessons at Atlanta Swim Academy for nearly six…read moremonths, and the progress has been remarkable. She started at the Trigger Fish level, advanced to Sea Lions, and just recently graduated to Manta Rays. The academy's structured approach--requiring specific skills to be mastered at each stage--has clearly paid off. She's athletic and attentive, and the instructors have done a fantastic job channeling those strengths into steady improvement. Each level seems to take her about 5-6 weeks to complete, which speaks volumes about both her effort and the academy's teaching methods. With only two levels left after Manta Rays, she's well on her way to being ready for our HOA's competitive summer swim team, which runs six intense weeks with six tournaments. The difference in her confidence and ability in the water is easy to see. Honestly, I may not be able to swim away from her when she chases me in the pool next summer! Watching her master the different strokes has been exciting, and I'm grateful for the academy's clear progression system and supportive environment. Atlanta Swim Academy has been a wonderful investment in her growth, and I highly recommend it to any family looking to build strong swimming skills in a fun, structured way.

With the hot days this summer, it was the best activity for them to stay cool while having fun and exercising. The staff were great and had good customer service. There were two life guards on duty to keep the kids safe while in the water. Check them out. You will not be disappointed!

    Mixed review. First I called to set up stroke lessons and was told all about it then said I would…read morecall back once I figured out if her dad was able to take her every other weekend. When I called back I got someone else who said I should probably have her do an assessment. So I showed up this past weekend and had her do the 2 minute assessment which was basically the instructor asking her to swim to her then float on her back. So I decided to set her up for lessons, although I was not impressed with the swim instructor. The lady at the desk told me there was an $80 registration fee and then $25 for the assessment. First of all no one told me there was a fee for the assessments and she went into exactly the class I figured she would go into so I was a bit irritated. Anyway I decided to set it up regardless. I did ask on the phone how many children were present for each class and I was told for the five. There are eight children present today with one instructor. So that's another annoyance. This location is very convenient, so I would love it to work out. I guess I'll give it more of a try but so far I'm not impressed. Another side note, in order to see the lanes fully you have to sit inside the pool area and it is like 100° in here! I'm sweating bullets. But it's only way I could get a full view of what my daughter is doing. The teacher is very perfunctory and doesn't crack a smile. I'll have to see if I can get her private lessons perhaps with someone else here or try somewhere else altogether.

My son absolutely loves it and feels comfortable. My daughter is starting classes soon as well. I highly recommend this place. The staff is so friendly and everything is cleaned and organized. Everyone there is so helpful! Nayden is the swim instructor for my son and she is awesome! She has been great with him and so helpful with getting my daughter to start lessons as well.

The parking lot is clean, and there's many spots available at no cost. We pay $116 for a weekly class. The price is decent, I'm not a particular expert on how much these classes range for but I would say this is fair. Each class is about 30 minutes and you get to meet different coaches. You also have to pay a registration fee at inception of account. This has mainly been an investment for us so that my baby can learn to swim earlier. They practice different movements, submerging underwater and chasing toys in the water. My biggest recommendation is IF you can schedule your classes during the week, it's way better. Sundays are PACKED. There's usually no place to sit to watch your child just because there's so many little swimmers on the schedule. Customer service has been decent here. They give you a reusable tote when you join. The water heater was recently broken so we have a few make ups due. You do have to give them a 30 day notice for cancellation, so keep that in mind! We did find out that you can use your make ups until your registration fee expires, which is in the beginning of the following year-- this is nice! Final verdict: if you can swing the extra money, I think it's an investment. The earlier you can get them started the better :)
