My son had to go through the Dept of Labor to finally get paid for work done. It seems pretty unethical for an adult team administrator to take advantage of a minor. We had previously taken our younger 3 kids off the team due to inexperienced coaching, rapid coach turnover, and bad accounting where our bills were regularly wrong so I'm not sure if the refusal to pay was some sort of retaliation. Now we swim at CAT and have none of these issues with better coaching and better facilities.

British Swim School (BSS) came highly recommended by another mom in my kid's school and my gosh,…read morehow glad I was to get my two kids into this amazing school! Jisha and Alex, who run BSS PDX locations, are incredible kind, responsive and thoughtful owners. They have hired a team of committed, excellent instructors who make swimming fun for people of all ages. My husband and I were shocked how the instructors made my 4 yo son, who was terrified to get into the water on his first day, feel comfortable and actually distracted from the scariness of getting into the pool. My 6 yo daughter is wildly passionate about swimming because of her experience thus far, and it's impressive to see how quickly she has advanced from level to level. If you're having difficulty getting your kid(s) into a great swimming class or just unhappy with progress or quality of swim instructors, definitely check out BSS. Not only is the program run in such a way that works for your family, but you can also join other BSS classes in alternate cities if you happen to be away from PDX. Check it out, you won't regret it!

Located inside of Aloft Hillsboro - Beaverton, our swimming school is open year-round, so you can learn to swim whenever you're ready and continue until you've mastered the technique. We use gentle teaching methods and a survival-first approach to help swimmers of all experience levels become safer and more confident in the water. British Swim School's safe, fun, and effective teaching methods have made it the preferred choice for parents and students for over 40 years. Our confidence-building curriculum and small group swimming classes provide a consistent format and structure with one-on-one attention for every swimmer. Private swimming lessons are also available upon request and subject to availability.

Wow - I really wish I could give this business 10 stars!…read more I absolutely adore the staff who've helped me get my daughter enrolled. I've spoken to Lauren and a couple of other girls, and they've been incredibly knowledgeable and helpful getting me established. The location has plenty of parking and I truly appreciate how they use a private entrance to keep their families safe. They share the pool area at the LA Fitness, but it's clear they have many safety protocols in place to protect their clients. Another example of this is: the staff wear face shields in the pool while instructing the children. I really appreciate they care holistically about the children's safety. The pool area and locker rooms are spotless and clean - a must! Teacher David was our swim instructor. He was the best part of our experience. David was super respectful, knowledgeable, and great with kids. He gave me tips for teaching my daughter safe water practices and what we can practice with her at home. I highly recommended this program for anyone who wants to feel safe in a swim class and to leave confidently knowing your child is learning life saving skills in the water! Thank you, Safety Splash and team!

My experience with SafeSplash has been very disappointing, and I haven't even started classes yet…read more I initially enrolled online but had several questions because the schedule was confusing, the swim levels weren't clearly explained, and the website didn't provide enough information. When I called, I was already three-quarters of the way through the enrollment process. The representative asked me to cancel my online enrollment so he could enroll me over the phone, saying I'd get a better price. It ended up being exactly the same price. I also asked multiple times about private lessons because my schedule is very limited. Instead of answering my question, the representative kept talking about creating a group class. I had to explain several times that I wasn't looking for a group class--I wanted private lessons on a schedule that worked for me. Eventually, we found one group class that fit my schedule, and it was literally the only time I could attend. I enrolled and paid the annual registration fee based on that schedule. Then, on the day the class was supposed to start, SafeSplash changed the class time, making it impossible for me to attend. Since then, I've called twice and have been promised a callback within 48 hours, but no one has followed up. I've also been told that the annual registration fee is non-refundable because my class "already started"--even though the reason I can't attend is because they changed the schedule after I enrolled. I understand that schedules sometimes need to change, but customers shouldn't be penalized or charged a non-refundable fee when the company changes the only class they were able to attend. I hope SafeSplash reconsiders how it handles situations like this and improves both its communication and customer service. I'm happy to change my review if you change my experience. C. Travis

Both times the people around were not welcoming. The Easter egg hunt we didn't even get to do because they ran out of eggs after the first group even though 100s of people RSVP'd online. During the May tournament there were club members who were very unkind and you could tell they were proud to show off how much better they were than the beginners that showed up. They promote new classes and coaching but based on my experiences with multiple club members I would not want to be a new person in this space. The owner seems nice and passionate about his work and the courts are well taken care which is unfortunate as I would have loved to try this place out if I didn't feel I'd be judged the whole time.
