Her primary instructor (Mr. Tylen) is kind and patient and her secondary instructor (Ms. Seanna) is fun and friendly.

Staff turnover seems low since we've consistently seen the same instructors/lifeguards/deck supervisors over the past few months.

You really can't beat the price -- especially if you purchase an annual membership at the beginning of the year when it is half off.

Equipment is old, beat up (especially leg extension machine) and some machines don't work well (especially leg press). Standards in this town are likely low because there aren't any alternatives, but options in wadsworth or Orrville are much better and worth the drive.

The facility has a great layout. There are lots of changing rooms and bathrooms - we never have to wait. Plus an area to dry your kids hair. You sit in the waiting area until your child's time is called and then walk them to their lane. The glass window is great to see their progress but not interrupt their time in the pool. After their lesson they can shower in the main room so the kids don't get cold going to another area. They even provide shampoo. Classes can be cancelled in advance and credit given for a make up. Make ups are easy to schedule and can be done online. Trainers are also energetic and great with the kids!

I signed up for an adult beginner class, but it ended up just being me. The lesson were in the pool at Columbus Academy. I did an accelerated session on Saturday and Sunday for two weeks with Katie Goggin. In six lessons, I was able to do something I've never been able to do, go under water without holding my nose. By the end, I was swimming laps to the deep end, which I am afraid of. It was a short session and I can't wait to enroll in the next one. If you think it's too late to learn to swim, it isn't!

Sure enough, she was crying and didn't want to go through with it. However, the instructors worked their magic, and she completed her lesson with a big smile, saying how much fun she had! I'm so appreciative of the staff for being so accommodating and understanding. I only wish this place were a bit cheaper, but as of now, that won't stop us from attending!

Here's a clean, readable Yelp-style review that keeps your experience intact but flows more…read moresmoothly and sounds polished: First Visit to Splash Zone - Overland, Ohio This was my first visit to Splash Zone in Overland, Ohio. Registration is a bit of a process. You first have to create a profile through the Lorain County Metro Parks system, then return to the Splash Zone site to register for a specific program on a designated day and time. Once registered, the system shows your cost--mine initially showed $0. I arrived about 30 minutes early on the morning of my class, which turned out to be helpful because I had to re-register in person. After completing that, I was told there would normally be a $3 fee due to my SilverSneakers account. However, the woman at the front desk kindly let me attend for free that day, explaining that future visits would be $3. Since I'd never been there before, I had to navigate through several locker and pool areas. There are multiple pools separated by glass dividers with automatic doors--someone shared a helpful tip that the small black box above the door shows which side to stand on to trigger it. The instructor came in without much of an introduction, set up a small carry-on-size speaker, put on her headset, and began the class. The workout was aqua Tabata (a Japanese-style interval workout): 20 seconds of fast-paced movement followed by 10 seconds of rest. The class lasted 45 minutes. I stayed for about 30 minutes, choosing to leave early since shower space is limited and I like to be considerate of others. The workout itself was excellent, and being in the water felt really good. The showers, however, were not great--hair on the floor and a general "public park" feel, even at 10:30 a.m. I was glad I wore water shoes. On the plus side, the water temperature and the very hot shower afterward were appreciated. The instructor mentioned that this is her business and encouraged people to connect on Facebook (with a profile photo), and it's clear she's very talented. Overall, despite a few logistical and cleanliness issues, I'd go back again--and next time, I'd happily pay the $3 when I'm in town.

Then the lifeguard switched a bunch of times. She was able to go on the side all those times. And she was tall enough all those times also. And then there lifeguard who didn't let her and said she was too short. I let him know that she was a really strong swimmer and that she could touch the bottom of the pool. There was this one kid who was in line in front of her and he let her go was the same height as my daughter. And then the lifeguard Lucas said my daughter was too short. Even if she was the same as other girl that went in front of her. Her hair was what was making her taller. And he said the hair on her head counts. So I put my daughter's hair up in a bun and he said well that doesn't . She cannot go on the slide. That is what got on my nerves. We will not be going back to splash zone again if it has anything to do with that lifeguard.
