    David and his team have been truly exceptional. We enrolled our son in his classes when he was…read morealmost 2 because our house had a pool and we were worried about what could have happened. Within 3 weeks our son could float, within 5 weeks he could swim and pull himself out of the pool, and we even did a test if he fell in with his clothes on and he passed with flying colors! I'd like to think its genetics but it was really David's hands on approach. Since then we have kept him enrolled and now as a 4 year old, he has the confidence that extends outside the pool. I can't recommend WeAquatics enough. Even compared to our friends kids who enrolled in other companies (Goldfish), it's not even close!

The Trinity facility is an exceptional space, great parking, wonderfully kind staff. WEAquatics is an amazing program with stellar teachers. They are kind and encouraging and knowledgeable. Our 8 year old says that the lessons are the highlight of her week and the progress our 4 year old has made in two lessons was unbelievable. The staff at the program is responsive and flexible. This is expensive but worth the investment. For us, these are our first lessons for both kids and I know our kids will make significant progress in a short amount of time, thereby making the $$$ more than worth it.

There is varied parking. Lots B and C are closest to the track but the back lot has more than enough room for overflow. The track is tucked behind fencing cut there is more than enough space for tents and space to camp out outside the venue. While it's no VA Beach or Greensboro, the space does the job. The staff was kind and the park had more than enough police presence to keep it safe.

This is THEE hub. Because of the egregious amount of people, expect to park far as hell from the complex. Even better, use your phone flashlight to illuminate your walkway because there only a few street lamps. Perhaps this is why, even in the crosswalk, you too can have an invigorating rush as your life flashes before your eyes in the stark headlights of a metro bus who never heard of a brake! Finally, enjoy the amenities in the aquatic center two informational desks down in a basement where lockers require $1.00 in coins. Quarters to be exact! Because why not! You've paid for a membership and/or a class, why not pay for the nostalgia of loose change! Who needs the year 2026?! Extroverts, this is the spot. Introverts, you will feel overwhelmed and wonder what fresh hell did you step in, probably try to power through until the pesky locker thwarts all defenses. You'll throw your hands up and peace tf out and say to yourself, yep I shall stick to the aquatic centers only. More manageable.

    Kudos to Sunsational Swim School!…read more It is believed that the average adult swim novice learns how to swim in about 20 hours or less. With Sunsational, if you have an instructor like Horace, you will learn to swim in record time--- using the proper techniques. Upon our initial introduction, Horace made me feel comfortable in the water, and he was encouraging. My goal was to learn how to side breathe properly, keep legs from dragging, and to produce high elbows for a strong stroke. In short, I was "a mess in the water". With Horace, once he noticed that I had performed one task sufficiently, he quickly introduced another helpful skill so that I could piece together the whole swim rhythm. This kept me constantly learning while perfecting the swim. Once swimming the front crawl correctly was performed, Horace taught me quite a few exercises to help me solidify all that was achieved! How cool! I certainly recommend Sunsational Swim School for adult swim lessons, and if you are lucky enough to be taught by a patient pro like Horace, what a fantastic bonus!!

He was always prompt, prepared, and was extremely flexible with rescheduling due to weather. She learned how to hold her breath, go under without fear, blow bubbles, kick, float, and always looked forward to her swim lesson. My daughter has shown major improvement in the water in just six sessions!

I took his "treading water" clinic and in 10 minutes, I was treading water effortlessly; something I've struggled doing for years and even after taking numerous lessons with private instructors (not affiliated with SwimBox). He's taught for 22+ years! and it shows. He simply knows how to coach all the minute details in swimming mechanics. I've always 'm someone with a high muscle to fat ratio and have ALWAYS sank like a rock. He taught me 3 styles to use my hands to tread and 4 styles using my feet. He demonstrated things in the water (such as corkscrews) that I've never seen/heard of before. He's very friendly and personable as well. I've taken the swim analysis and it was super helpful/beneficial. Looking forward to signing up for more classes! Highly recommend!

    Another attempt at learning to tread water. Another rip off. My single goal was to learn to be able…read moreto jump into deep water and to swim back with my head above water. Basically, vacation-style swimming where you jump off a boat, tread for a bit, and swim back to the boat. I asked if I could learn this at SwimBox. I was told I could. If they don't teach this, they should have said so. Instead, I took 10 classes and was never taught either of these things. The instructor, as usual, wasted time in the beginning treating me like I'm afraid of water. I can already swim underwater and on my back (not expertly, of course). Instructors should start off with new swimmers by allowing them to show what they can already do vs. starting them with blowing bubbles and floating. At SwimBox, they have no incentive to move you along quickly since dragging out the lessons equals more classes, which equals more money for them. I gave the instructor the benefit of the doubt that she was teaching me some basic things I needed to know. However, as the classes went along, I noticed we were headed towards what I feared -- teaching me freestyle swimming and perfecting my form. This IS NOT what I asked to learn! I don't plan to swim laps or join the Olympics. When I clarified again that I wanted to learn to swim with my head above water, she dismissed that type of swimming as not real swimming. Well, that's how people swim socially and that's what I asked, upfront, to learn. Finally, I was lied to when I was told we would work on treading water, which is the MAIN THING that I wanted to learn. The pools are, obviously, not deep, but I was duped into believing I would still be taught. Each time I take swim lessons, they teach what they want to teach. I will just have to get a friend to teach me because formal instructors are apparently hard wired to teach every new swimmer freestyle. I wasted my money.

    I, like a million other Americans suffer from chronic lower back pain. I was having a discussion…read morewith a friend about working out, when she said, she took water Zumba because it was easier on her joints. Fast forward two weeks, now my friend expected me to join her for a class...or two. At 8 in the morning (Jesus be a fence)! The only time I make my way out of the house before 8am is when that venture involves $$$. Otherwise, you will find me in bed sleep, or contemplating the facts of my life IN BED. So yea, I was coaxed into an early morning water Zumba class, sweetened with an offer to pay. I pull up to the center, after a not so pleasant encounter with the owners at Atlantic Carry Out ( I spoke about 2 words to them and they said two to me). My friend is wide awake...and bubbling. We arrived to the water a tad late, but was welcomed in by the instructor's boisterous voice (Eric). I didn't think water Zumba would be difficult, not having done it before, but I will tell you that its not for punks. My body is still burning, but my back was unharmed. I had a great time. Chilled with some old ladies in the shallow end of the pool after the class, and relaxed a bit in the jacuzzi. The facility was clean and I noticed that they have a lot of activities for kids/family (several levels of summer camp was in session when I arrived). 4 whole stars

    AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!…read more I recently threw a birthday party here and it exceeded my expectations. You have the party room for 2 hours and then you can enjoy the other two hours in the pool. They made the whole process of checking in so much easier by asking for a list of the guests and checking them in. Make sure guests know they MUST wear a bathing suit to get in. Overall, we had a great stress-free birthday party! :)

    I genuinely enjoy this facility and wanted to share some feedback regarding the current pool safety…read morepolicy, specifically the requirement that children under 48 inches remain within arm's length of a parent or guardian in the toddler pool area. While I appreciate the facility's commitment to safety, I believe this policy may benefit from review in certain circumstances. My five-year-old is slightly under 48 inches tall and is a capable swimmer but he was still given a yellow bracelet because of his height. During our recent visit, a staff member (she seemed to be the one in charge) told us about the arm's length requirement while my son was playing in the shallow toddler pool area, which only reaches ankle depth. I fully support close supervision requirements in deeper water or for infants and young toddlers. However, the current policy creates some practical challenges in the toddler pool area: 1. The shallow depth of the toddler pool presents minimal risk for older children who can swim. 2. Multiple parents attempting to maintain arm's length proximity in a confined space leads to congestion and difficulty navigating around one another. Which can make things even more difficult trying to keep an eye on your child and your child's constant movement when you have a parent in front of you trying to keep an eye on their child. 3. The policy becomes impossible to enforce when children use the toddler play structure and mini slides, where parents cannot physically maintain arm's length distance. Maybe some parents can fit going up the structure, but we certainly cannot fit going down the slide. We would have to go back down the steps of the play structure and then try to get to our child who most certainly is farther away from us because kids do not sit still. I believe a modified policy that considers both the child's swimming ability and the water depth would better serve families while maintaining appropriate safety standards. Perhaps children who demonstrate swimming competency could be permitted greater independence in ankle-deep water, while maintaining stricter supervision requirements in deeper areas.
