Stay away from this swim school!!!! All they want is your money. They used to be awesome but as of…read morelate some of the amazing people have left and they have gone down hill drastically. On top of the service getting worse and the facility not being kept up the prices are getting higher. Lastly, they don't mind cancelling on you last minute but if you cancel on them last min that's not allowed or you lose a class. Literally they called me last week to cancel my class on that same call I asked if I can cancel a makeup class so I would have to wearing an almost an hour in between classes and I was told no I would lose that class. "Hold on you literally just cancelled mine but I can't cancel the makeup?" and " I have to wait around for an almost an hour for the next one?" Complete disregard for your time again as long as they get paid. It doesn't matter. We cancelled our membership immediately and are starting somewhere else next month.

Our child has thrived here. I honestly don't understand some of the hateful reviews. We haven't…read moreexperienced anything close to what the 1-star reviews are saying. Yes, it can get messy. There are a ton of kids coming in and out throughout the day. I've seen staff cleaning. We started sending my daughter two days a week since she started late in life because of covid. I have enough trust in the teachers to drop her off where she needs to go, and I sit in the lobby. All she has done is thrive. It's hard for a teacher to work with kids if they are turning to find their parents all the time. She will be six this month, and she will be in level six.

The instructor (I think he was the owner) walked us slowly through the whole process. He answered all our questions. The facilities were clean. It was a complete refresher course without missing anything. The products in stock were substantial. I needed a new mask and snorkel. I was amazed that when he saw my goggles were not good, he just said that I should replace them. Not once did he mention buying from them. I did check prices on the internet. I could not find a lower price for the mask and snorkel. Looking forward to scuba diving, again.

My son went here for 2 or 3 months. We liked the time that was available for lessons and there was…read morealways plenty of seats available. The atmosphere is good and the staff is nice but our son made no progress. He struggled to separate and there was no guidance on what to do or attempts to assist weren't initiated until more than half of the session was over. In his brief time in junior 1, all our kid did was throw things in the water, shimmy the wall, and splash at the instructor. There was one day we had an elmhurst sub and that's when we saw our kid actually practicing kicking and back floating.. so we left shortly after that to go to the elmhurst location.

I loved this place as a kid growing up in town and I returned last summer with my kiddos and it was…read moremaybe even better than I remember? Absolutely great place for kids to swim and play and mom to soak up some vitamin D. I was there with kiddos of all ages and felt like there was something for everyone! My two year old played in the sand (tho there were some hornets to watch out for over there) and went in and out of the zero entry area with his little toy 300 times. My older son (6) went down the water slides also 300 times. Even when they are super busy you can usually find a chair or just put your stuff on the back lawn. If you want a chair make sure to get there early! One annoying thing I will note is that they will close the concession stand early (whatever time they want) if they are "slow" which is kinda BS Since you can't bring in your own food...

The students have 400 hours before they get to work on customers and a teacher is always nearby to help. First they shampoo and condition your hair. Then in my experience it's often the teacher demonstrating through most of the cut. It takes a little longer but if you have time, I recommend them. And the price is right, only $13 as of March 2023.

Do not get manicure here. Wanted to support school and students so made appt online for manicure…read more After waiting, they assigned me to someone else than whom I was supposed to have. Their selection of polish is minimal and the color I selected had lint in it which the student had to remove several times. She put so many layers on that after I left, it got smeared so badly that I removed polish after getting home. They have no nail dryers. Also, be aware they don't accept cash and although their website says no tipping, that isn't true. No teacher came to check what student did as it says on website. Won't go back for other services after this.

This is another Wheaton Park District facility and it's located at Northside Park. It's at the end…read moreof West Street and to the east. This is an older pool, so it's not as glitzy as some of the other pools in the area. They have 1 water slide, a diving board, a sand pit and a great toddler area. The toddler area here is fenced in and has it's own pool which is 0 dept to 2 feet or so. There are lots of chairs here for moms to sit poolside. Off of the toddler pool is the sand area. I've spent lots of time here and there are always extra chairs and some benches. There are toys available here, I wouldn't bring your own because you will get a headache trying to keep an eye on them. Pricewise, this pool has a cheaper admission rate for non residents. It's $11.75 for an adult and $7.00 for a child. Sometimes the pool closes early due to swim meets and this pool opens later that Rice Pool due to swim lessons. Another important thing to know is that the kids in the daycamps at Northside Park, swim at this pool from 1-3 or so. This summer (2010) the camps are relocated due to work at the park, but they will be back next year. This pool is a great one to hang out with your little ones. If you have older kids, the slides at Rice Pool are a better source of entertainment.

(It's awesome trust me) this pool is One of the Ellis's lifeguard training facility and has made outstanding guards who always know how to keep the pool a safe environment. A great place for family or birthday party. They have adult lap swim at 12-1 and 5:30-6:30 every. and test the water every 2 hours so it's always safe. However a simple pool they have all of the pizzazz and the new pools. They have great music always, a slide AND diving board. Kiddy pool AND sand box. The sand box is the original mine craft as the kids make rivers and lakes in the sand. Get your kids out of the house and have a unforgettable time here. Don't sleep on this pool, defiantly better than Rice pool on the south side (Northside is more of a family aspect.) stay woke.

Honestly, I don't know why more families in Bolingbrook AND the surrounding suburbs don't go to…read moreBolingbrook Park District for their swim lessons! Not only is Pelican Harbor indoor water park humongous and perfect for all levels of swimming, staff is incredibly friendly and prices are beyond reasonable!!! Even if you're not a Bolingbrook resident, if you sign up early enough, you can get 6-8 swimming lesson sessions for about $8 per lesson. I currently have both my children in Parkie's Starfish Swim School (ages 3-8) and each lesson is 40 minutes long. At private swim schools (Bear Paddle, Goldfish, British Swim School), lessons for that age group are 30 minutes long and almost 3 times as much per lesson! One thing to keep in mind are that many of the instructor are VERY young (probably high school-early college age). One of my kids is a newly minted 3 year old and doesn't listen very well at times (my kid just wants to play around in the water). I think the teacher had a hard time instructing in the beginning, but she doesn't give up and spoke to me about methods to "speed up" the progression as well as boundaries I may have. I appreciated that because I can only imagine how hard it is to teach young children who would rather play than learn. Parkie's Starfish Swim School has several levels starting from White (never having a swim lesson before) and ending in Green (able to swim on side, can freestyle 30 feet with rhythmic breathing). Levels Red-Yellow-Blue are in between. After mastering green, they can move to Parkie's Starfish Stroke School, perfecting all the strokes with longer distances as well as flips and open turns. They also have Parkie's Babies Swim Lesson for babies (ages 3-36 months). Overall I highly recommend Bolingbrook Park District for swim lessons. It's extremely affordable, the indoor swimming facility is very impressive and staff is so nice. I love that I can bring my kids here year-round instead of just summers. I know I'll continue bringing my kids here for years to come!

I have been doing this since last year, then one of the personnel walked up to me last month after their class whiles practicing and asked if I was a member which I answered no. She then said, you can stay if you are a member but if not then get out". I got my kids ready after we were done then asked her what was their policy for after class, she said, you are able to stay till 15 minutes after the swimming class. I called the manager of the place and reported this incidence. Will I take my kids back there? NO!!! Staff should have the respect for people who patronize them and not disrespect them.The staff should have explained their policy because this same staff if there every day I take my kids to this place. She was out right rude and disrespectful! They just lost two customers.
