Wow, San Ramon Aquatic Center is great if you're looking for a place for beginner swimmers or a…read moreplace to splash during a hot summer day. We've been to Dublin Wave and Larkey Swim Center but I think San Ramon Aquatic Park takes the cake: 1. Low entry fee of $8/pp. Big, clean family room for changing along with showers. 2. The main splash pad is a sight to behold. They have this gigantic bucket that gets filled with water pumped from the main pool. It rocks back and forth like a slow bell, signaling impeding doom. Eventually, the bucket tips over and drenched everything and everyone below. It never gets old watching this. 3. They have separate pools for diving, lap swimming, and one with a gigantic inflatable structure that looks like an obstacle course from American Ninja, only above a big pool. As for minor downsides: 1. Limited places to sit around the perimeter. Its crowded here and many folks set out blankets for picnics. 2 Despite a pretty big parking lot, it does get busy so you may need to park a bit farther.

First time visiting this pool with some friends and kids on a weekend. There's a huge parking lot…read moreright outside the pool, which is very convenient. The parking signs were a little confusing because they say "pool permit parking only," but I later found out that this only applies on weekdays. $8 admission is a pretty good deal, although there's an additional service fee when paying by credit card. The front desk didn't mention the fee, and I only noticed it after reading a sign off to the side of the desk. The changing room was clean and tidy, with hot showers and plenty of lockers. There aren't individual changing stalls, though, and the bathroom is located inside the changing room. The kids' pool is probably the highlight. It's very shallow and perfect for little kids, with water slides, a play structure, and a big bucket that fills up and dumps water over everyone. The kids had a lot of fun waiting for it. The main pool has a dedicated lap-swimming section and a shallower area around 4 feet deep where people can hang out. The deep end has an inflatable obstacle course that looks like an American Ninja Warrior-style setup, along with diving boards at different heights. My biggest issue was the very strict lifeguard monitoring. They were watching the pool extremely closely, with whistles ready to go at any moment. During our three-hour visit, I saw multiple parents and kids being spoken to by lifeguards. I was also approached for having a small child on my back in the shallow section. I was standing comfortably in the water, but I was told not to carry the child that way. What confused me was that I was allowed to carry the same child in front of me, but not on my back. I understand the lifeguards have to enforce safety rules, but I wasn't clear on the difference or what additional safety concern the back carry presented. Overall, I appreciate having lifeguards who are attentive and focused on safety, especially with so many kids around. However, during our visit, it sometimes felt like I was being watched the entire time and had to walk on eggshells. The facilities are clean, the kids' pool is fun, there's plenty to do, and $8 is a reasonable price. Would I come back? Maybe 50/50. It's a good community pool, but the very strict enforcement made the experience a little less relaxing for me. ‍

I have been to the wave many times, Jocelyn L. The staff there are young people and it is a really…read morenice facility. Like you Jocelyn, I am a very proud Hispanic. My kids had a great time. A couple of suggestions. Read the rules. It is clear that outside food or drink are not allowed. Neither are street clothes, as they are a safety hazard in public or shared pools. If people sneak stuff in without the staff knowing, then that is on them. I have seen people be asked to leave for sneaking alcohol in. I have never seen the staff there demand anyone throw anything away. They offer to let you walk it back to your car. Again, had you read the rules, you would have known this. In order to keep facilities like these affordable, the rules must be enforced. The insurance rates will sky rocket when there are claims because someone got hurt by a drunk patron. I used to work in Government, and this is the case with all facilities. Also, the wave has a lot of young people working there in their first job. They are learning how to work and be adults, show them some kindness. Lastly, please take an English class. As a Hispanic, I have worked hard to overcome people's negative viewpoints about us being uneducated and ignorant. Your review doesn't help in that regard.

Severe Safety Hazard - Poor Maintenance on Tennis Court Nets…read more The maintenance of the indoor tennis court side nets at Bay Club Pleasanton is unacceptable and poses a major safety risk to players. The side divider nets have multiple large tears and holes. When running down wide-angle shots, players run the risk of getting hands, racquets, or feet snagged. Tonight around 7:36 PM on Court 5, my shoe got caught in one of these holes while I was moving near the side net. I lost my balance and fell hard, scraping my arm and hand while my shoe remained stuck in the net. Just last week, I witnessed another player catch their hand in a separate hole in the net and end up bleeding. Additionally, the heavy black bottom edging of the nets drags loosely on the court surface, creating an extra tripping and slipping hazard. Management urgently needs to repair or replace these divider nets before someone suffers a more severe injury. I am attaching photos showing the exact holes and hazards mentioned.

ASA has been flexible and accommodating with scheduling and makeups when illness and other issues inevitably arise. We love the small class sizes and open changing rooms. Shout out to Archana for all her help! Pro tip: if you choose earlier/odd times that no one wants, you can often end up with 1-on-1 lessons. Ask the rep how many kids are enrolled when signing up. If no times available, sometimes they will open a new spot.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at American Swim Academy. My daughter has been…read moreattending for three years, and what has become an ongoing concern is the constant change in staffing and the resulting inconsistency in coaching. When instructors frequently change, there seems to be very little continuity or understanding of where a child stands, what they have already mastered, and what they specifically need to work on next. My daughter has now been at essentially the same point for about two quarters, and I have seen very little effort to identify what is holding her back or provide the focused coaching she needs to progress. What was even more disappointing was my interaction with the manager. I approached him hoping to discuss my concerns about a particular lesson. Before I could even fully explain what I had observed, his immediate response was, "Oh, that one is our best instructor." Whether an instructor is considered one of the best was not the point of my concern. My concern was what was actually happening during my daughter's lesson. The instructor appeared unable to give adequate attention to three children in the class, and I observed very little instruction, correction, or specific guidance being given to my daughter to help her improve. As a parent, I wasn't looking for the manager to defend or criticize an instructor. I was looking for him to listen, understand the concern, and offer a solution. Unfortunately, I walked away without any resolution, follow-up, or offer of help. After three years of loyalty, this is incredibly frustrating. Parents bring their children to swim lessons expecting more than supervision in the pool. We expect active coaching, feedback, consistency, and measurable development. I sincerely hope American Swim Academy takes concerns like these seriously and focuses on better continuity between instructors, individualized coaching, and stronger accountability for each child's progress. Most importantly, when a parent raises a genuine concern, I hope management takes the time to listen before dismissing it.

Instructors were good but weren't able to pay as much attention as we would have liked because there were a lot of students and classes were 45 minutes each from Monday through Friday. Nevertheless, by the end of the two weeks, she was competent in freestyle, butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke and sidestroke! And that has made us parents a lot more comfortable sending her to pool parties. Strongly recommend this if you have a child or adult learning to swim.
