    Last summer I was super cringed out by the nasty life guard ( a little twenty something year old…read moremaybe dude ) who had major attitude with me for drinking my water bottle right next to the pool while I daughters played and swam around. Yikes. It was so silly. We enjoy this place over all. The food is absolutely gross, but somehow we keep buying the chicken strips hoping they will be cooked normal. They try though! All good.

    David is the absolute best!!!…read more We couldn't have asked for a better ISR instructor than David! My daughter cried through nearly every lesson, yet David never wavered in his patience, kindness, or professionalism. His calm demeanor and gentle approach created such a safe space for her to learn, and I always felt reassured knowing she was in the best hands. Even on the tough days, David remained gracious and encouraging -- never rushing her progress, but guiding her with consistency and care. It's clear he truly understands children and meets them exactly where they are. Thanks to him, my daughter gained life-saving water safety and self-rescue skills that will stay with her forever. We are so grateful for David and can't recommend him highly enough. He is truly exceptional with kids and an incredible instructor!

    I am so pleased with my experience at ISR Swimming with David Heil. When we purchased our home with…read morea pool in the backyard we knew immediately that swimming lessons were a must. We happened onto infant safety swimming lessons and what a game changer. This course teaches young children confidence in the water and water safety. This is a structured program with a progressive approach to learning 10 mins a day for 6 weeks. My son is apprehensive when beginning new things. David is kind and patient while pushing forward and teaching technique with consistency and encouragement. I am so proud of the skills my son has developed and I am grateful to David.

Khaled is very knowledgeable in water safety an swimming lessons! Thank you Khaled! Kris is amazing as well answering all our questions before we enrolled and always so kind and sweet whenever we have a class, you know she cares about these kids and that water safety is her biggest priority and she is a very big advocate! Thank you Kris!

    While Kris and her team are passionate about swim instruction, I came here to say that I think it…read moreis INCREDIBLY important that anyone seeking to take lessons here with a young child, say under 3, understands that Kris uses ISR training. PLEASE PLEASE research for yourself whether ISR is right for you and your child. (After my own research and consultation with numerous other swim experts- literally a drowning expert witness- it is NOT as safe as FVSA or other ISR experts will claim it is). Personally-- it was not for me or my child. It was traumatic for her, caused MORE fear of the water than she originally had, and she took in too much water and puked during 3 separate lessons and Kris brushed it off as normal (and I soon was assured by NUMEROUS swim coaches and medical professionals that it is NOT). When I expressed concerns, I DO appreciate that Kris seemed receptive, however, her teaching style is just not compatible with how I want my daughter handled. I wish this were different because I do think Kris is a passionate, very good person and maybe this teaching style works for some, and potentially for older children. But if you are starting with a child under 3, please beware that it is difficult to watch and in MY opinion after a LOT of research, does not provide the long term safety alleged by ISR advocates.

My first time and she was doing gel and I thought maybe thatscwhat they only do as I saw no other nail polish. When she was done I said I'm having a pedicure as well and they were looking to find someone else to do it. I said no to pedicure. The poor manicurest did not have good tools and the gel machine kept going off. She was sweet and I did tip her. The front desk told me they were charging me for nails only because he tried to void out my pedicure but it voided both procedures. He tried to explain my experience was bad because someone called off sick and I said it's not very professional to tell me that excuse. I try to support cosmetology schools as I went to one and am still in the business. Please do better with your staff and your customers.

Recently I had a great experience at Elite when I had a hair cut by Evelyn, so when he needed a haircut we knew where to turn. We walked in this past Saturday and we were greeted right away, and in the barber's area in two minutes, being cared for by Jesus. The styling and the listening by Jesus already show he is going to be a wonderful professional in this field. The instructor stays around to assist and I enjoy the atmosphere because the instructors are very supportive and give suggestions in a gentle way. Jesus did a great job on my husband's hairstyle. It's the best cut ever! We plan to follow Jesus to his next adventure as a barber because his customer care is outstanding.
