I hear of this place every summer but never had the chance til this week. What a great place for kids to enjoy water play. But actually for the entire family too! We went during free swim time from 12-4pm and it was only $10 for ages 3 and up. There's a big shallow kiddie pool with water activities and then 2 water slides on the back side of the park. There's a rec pool that maybe goes to 4.5 ft depth so it's perfect for just enjoying the water when you can't lap swim because the pool is crowded. A large picnic table area can be found in the middle of the center too so you can being lunch and snacks too. There a larger Olympic size pool on the west end of the center that can be used for lap swimming so overall it's great for all ages and swimming levels. We're planning to be here quite a bit for the summer! There's also cabanas to change into and showers to rinse off before and after swimming.

Mary is a great Aqua Fitness instructor and her classes are always packed with about 50 people per class. She is very knowledgeable, gives excellent queuing, and provides modifications for various levels, even for those of us who need more of a challenge. I have been able to get my heart rate up, get resistance, core & flexibility training here. I've noticed significant improvements in my overall fitness and physique. The pools & facilities are clean and in great condition. Water temperature is about 78 degrees and they have multiple pools to accommodate lap swimming, classes, and a kid's pool. The restrooms are pretty clean, contain 3 private shower stalls, multiple open showers, and a machine to wring out your bathing suit which is a plus. I hope to be back next summe

When I first joined Ventura Surf and Swim a year ago, I couldn't even float, let alone swim a…read moresingle stroke. I was nervous, a complete beginner. But from the very first class, I felt supported and encouraged. The instructors were incredibly patient and skilled at breaking things down step-by-step. They created such a positive and motivating environment that I started looking forward to each session. Over time, I built not only my swimming skills but also my confidence in the water. I really appreciated how flexible and accommodating the team was with my schedule. Since I work full-time, evening classes were the only option for me, and they made it easy for me to attend consistently. On occasions when I needed to reschedule, they were always understanding and helpful, which made a huge difference in staying committed. Now, I can swim confidently--something I never imagined I'd be able to say. I'm so grateful for the progress I've made and for the dedication of the entire team here. Thank you for helping me discover the joy of swimming!

It's not worth what it costs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I brought my 2.5 year old to learn survival swim…read morewith Kim especially since we live in Ventura and are close to the water. I enrolled in the 6-week class, M-Th, for 10 minutes, and the amount of time it took me to prepare my child for swim class, pack up, get her in the car, pack snacks after, etc., for ONLY 10 minutes ... was not worth the stress. After 4 weeks (so far) of swimming with Kim, I haven't seen much improvement in my daughter's survival swim technique ... if anything, she says "NO SWIM" and doesn't want to go to the pool even more. I was hoping that based on how much we paid, we would get a more "tailored" class, with communication to the parent on what can be worked on or what skills my daughter can continue practicing, but it feels like the class is so impersonal. Kim teaches the same thing to every child, and when I ask her what I can practice on with my child, she says, she needs to come to swim classes more. I feel like it was a waste of $1,200 and 6-weeks. When I took my daughter on vacation, I felt like I taught her more in one week at the hotel pool, than the last 6-weeks my daughter had with Kim. I know that it takes time ... especially with a 2.5 year old, but I feel like the classes can be Things that I think she needs to improve on, if parents are paying THAT MUCH MONEY: 1. Give parents a "weekly report" on skillsets that the child worked on and things to continue practicing. Almost like a progress report, with tips on how to improve. 2. Text & communicate with the parent on what the child's strengths and weaknesses are. At the end of the class, my daughter could float on her back ... and kick to the stairs, so I guess that's successful. But, she refuses to go back to swim class. I think she was traumatized. She said "No Swim Teacher Kim." I should have waited until she's older .. but thought this was crucial. Did my daugther remember anything, NO.

If we miss a class our daughter notices & tells us! "Swimming!!" Wendy knows how EXACTLY how to work with babies & teach them swimming. One of the most impressive things they learn is if they fall in the pool they learn to put their arms up, reach for the side and climb out of the pool-this is HUGE for pool safety should your baby somehow manage to fall in!! We have had so many compliments from other parents while on vacation about how well our daughter swims for her age. Thank you Wendy & crew!

We look forward to swim every week and intend to continue going well into the girls joining their swim team. Thank you Wendy and team!!!

There's a lot of seating everywhere, and when tables run out, there's a whole grass area you can set up your chair and whatever else you brought in. On one side is the splash playground, which is so much fun even for adults. On the other side is the big pool that is fun to swim in. There's plenty of parking here, and it's only about 5 dollars per person to get in. The best part is they don't close like the Verdugo one in between sessions. This one allows you to stay from open to close, with every now and then closing just to inspect the equipment for 15 minutes, but then you can go back in and have a blast. The Verdugo one only lets you in for about 1.5 hours max, then you get kicked out. It is separated into two sessions and is honestly a little bit of a hassle. That's why this one is the one you want to check out. Your kiddos will love it!

I wasn't sure what to expect, but the swim skills my daughter learned was beyond expectations. The toddlers learned skills like what to do if the fall in and to take a breath before going under water. Then there were more emerging skills like paddling and kicking. Overall, the main goal is to get them comfortable in the water. My daughter loves the school so much that we had her birthday party there as well. Once again, the staff and life guards did not disappoint! We're thinking of having her birthday there again!
