Eddie is hands down the best swim instructor in the Conejo Valley! My 4 year old daughter was…read moreafraid to put her face in the water on the first day of swim lessons and by the end of our 2 week session with Eddie, she was jumping into the water and swimming! :) Eddie is calm, but direct with the kids. He gives simple instructions, encourages the kids to continue to try new things, and helps them work through their fears. Our daughter completely made a 180 and now loves the water and loves swimming because of Eddie. Highly recommend you use him for your kiddos! I already can't wait for my son to start swim lessons with Eddie next year when he turns 2.

She did cry the first three lessons, but she listened to everything he said to her and on day four she took off swimming. She took her lessons with her cousins, so there were three of them for 30 minutes and they each take turns. Water safety is #1.

We've had an amazing experience with Gale! In just two months, my almost 3 year old has gone from…read morebeing afraid to get into the water to feeling confident and beginning to swim independently. The progress has been incredible to watch! Gale is patient, encouraging, and has a wonderful ability to build trust while gently helping children move beyond their comfort zones. My child absolutely loves her, she practices her swim skills at home and even pretends to be Teacher Gale during playtime! It's clear that Gale has made a lasting impression and helped her develop a genuine love of swimming. This has been such a positive and rewarding experience. I couldn't be happier with the progress my child has made, and I highly recommend Gale to any parent looking for a wonderful swim instructor!

I never write reviews. Truly I've written 1 bad review in my life on Amazon. I wanted so badly to…read morehave a good experience with Gale because she has so much experience but this is the last straw. Honestly, I was already getting frustrated with Gale as she was very irritated and impatient with my 2 year old. He was anxious, and he's speech delayed so he has a hard time verbally communicating that. I tried getting him excited for swim lessons by talking about the cool pool toys she had, and it actually kind of worked. I told her before the lesson how he's so excited to play with the ducks. She said ducks are exciting! Then didn't bring the toys out that lesson of the 2 following it. She also multiple times complained about other customers to me. I find that pretty unprofessional. But I thought maybe I'm just being overly sensitive. She's from a different generation. They do things differently. It's just hard to hear your baby crying for you. I thought we just needed to push through. But while he's upset she just kept telling him NO STOP. You're not going to cry. You're FINE. With so much annoyance. Honestly it reminds me of the jaded nurses I work with in the hospital who have been doing it forever and get annoyed with patients for needing anything extra or for being any level of difficult. Just so unsympathetic. He's 2. He's scared. This is still new to him. But I pressed on despite thinking maybe this isn't a good match of personalities. But half way through our month of swim lessons my son caught hand foot and mouth disease and so did our entire house. It was awful. I informed Gale and after calling out x2 she said I've taken you off the daily schedule just let us know when you're better. To me this communicates you don't need to keep calling out. Now she's telling me we no showed 3 times. Called out 2 times. Implying we can only reschedule 2 lessons. I'm sorry that's crazy. These lessons are expensive $85 a lesson. What a waste of money, and yet I'm relieved to take my business elsewhere.

Exercised here while I was on vacation in SoCal in May 2025. It's a great gym with nice staff,…read morefoosball, ping pong, and a nice lounge area in the front lobby. The weightlifting area had a good amount of barbells, dumbbells, machines, and treadmills. I was able to get a good workout in, and, honestly, working out in the same region that Arnold Schwarzenegger and movie stars reside in made me want to work out harder haha. I wish there were more stationary bikes, but that's a nitpick. The stretching area is also in the walkway area, so it was kind of awkward stretching as people walked by or waited for their exercise class. Lockers and bathrooms were clean.

I definitely underestimated this pool! For some reason I expected it to be super crowded and…read morecrammed, but it was actually the opposite, there was a good amount of people and it was a very large pool where you had enough space in the recreation area. The amount of lanes were you able to get your lane if you wanted to do laps. Had multiple lifeguards onduty on top of safety and the place was clean. I will say the bathrooms could've been better, but overall the rest is really good. They had pool toys for you to use and my son really loved the water basketball hoop. It was also pretty neat that you can bring your own food or order your food for delivery. Four dollars per person is a great price! They also have summer movie nights and Sunday evenings with the inflatable pool jumper which I thought was pretty cool. Definitely plan to come back .

Go anywhere else! Stay away! They are liars and scammers! Completely unethical and unprofessional!…read more Tarrik Daou is the executive director of the Lucile Cowle Swim School (now the Daland Swim School). This man has no conscience, no ethical compass, and does business dirty to make a profit. He is unhinged, condescending, and worships money over service, professionalism, and honesty. My child is autistic and is a Regional Center client. Lucile Cowle, also under Daland Swim School, said that they would create an account with a 3rd party payer so that they could be directly paid by the 3rd party vendor with the Lanterman Regional Center. I started communicating with Lucile Cowle Swim School on March 5, 2025. It is now July 2026 (16 months later), and I have finally been reimbursed after countless calls and emails. The only way that I was paid for adaptive swim lessons was to bypass LC completely, and Aveanna 3rd-party payers conducted a full investigation to unpack their numerous lies. Dealing with this unethical company was so traumatic and all-consuming. Aveanna had to create an internal memo to no longer deal with this company because they would often refuse to respond, say they already did without turning in the necessary paperwork, and they never responded to the Lanterman Regional Center. My Lanterman Regional Center worker constantly reached out to LC/Daland Swim School, and their statements about when they responded do not align with any of the paper trail. They have made it difficult at every turn. Read my reviews. I never posted a single negative review of a business before today. I have never posted a negative review even when the service or good wasn't great because I don't want to damage a business for having an off day. However, this took 16 months of my time, and the executive director, Tarrik Daou was so nasty, condescending, and more fearful of not covering his bases when too many outside parties (not me) came with financial questions than actually providing honest, reputable service or transparent, ethical accounting. I have a long paper trail that can back up every claim I have been as opposed to Lucile Cowle, who can't keep records or even finish setting up a business account for 8 months. This is step 1 of any financial accounting. I just can't in any good conscience recommend this awful institution or Tarrik's narcissistic personality as someone you want to deal with. Please. There are other reputable swim schools who won't lie to you. I don't call people liars easily; in fact, I literally never have before in any business review. I had to come up with a long paper trail and unravel his lies because he's such an expert gaslighter; you want to double and triple-check facts to make sure the accounting is done correctly. Please take your business elsewhere. There are swim schools that actually care about your kids, not just the money that comes with it. If your child has any special needs, please stay away. Being a special-needs parent who must advocate for your child's special needs is hard; why add to your load by constantly having to unravel one vendor's outright lies? Your time is precious, and your child can become an agile swimmer at a swim school that loves children and not just sees an opportunity to financially exploit you.

We recently returned to Judo at this location and I wanted to update. The facility is mostly…read morecompleted. Judo/gymnastics area is very well ventilated, the fans do make it difficult to hear but minor trade off. It's so well ventilated that kids don't get hot when they run. I also appreciate how special it is to have this Simi Valley Judo Club. It is one big class, so lots of opportunity for mixed age and mixed gender interactions. Often there are parent and kids enrolled at the same time. The cost is low, and duration is 1.5 hours twice weekly, so it doesn't hit the purse as hard if you need to miss a few lessons or join late. No makeups, which are time consuming for parents anyway. Newcomers can often progress quickly through the ranks due to the 3 hour per week duration (no belt testing and no additional fees). New ranks are awarded by Sensei based on observation of their behavior and their application of techniques at the daily randori. Randori is limited to the last 15 minutes of class, everyone sits and observes as 2 kids are called up to spar. So glad we returned.
