My child did said competitor since she was 7 months old and her skill level was markedly behind the kids at evo that were younger than her. I kept feeling like, despite my child's active participation, she was not advancing until I did private at home lessons. I am happy to report that evo mirrors the home lessons and I know she will gain so much skill and confidence doing evo. My daughter came out of her first lesson with evo saying she wants to go swimming again. I am so exited I have found this indoor option for my toddler.

We tried multiple times to register for swim lessons and had an incredibly frustrating experience…read more After calling three times, I finally spoke with the director, John, who admitted the pre-registration links on their newly redesigned website are broken and that this was a known issue. Unfortunately, the staff I spoke with prior to John were dismissive and unhelpful, simply directing me back to a website that doesn't work. It's discouraging to see so many positive reviews when new customers are unable to register at all. If you collect contact information and even credit card details but have no functional way to complete registration, it undermines trust and credibility. A business that cannot prioritize basic customer service and onboarding--especially when parents are trying to ensure safety and instruction for their children--misses the mark entirely. Very disappointing

We enrolled our boys at EVO after seeing the many positive reviews, but unfortunately our…read moreexperience has been very disappointing. Both of our boys are on the spectrum, and while my younger son was having some difficulty focusing in the water (which is to be expected given how much he loves it), the instructor's reaction was completely inappropriate. During the last session, the instructor was visibly upset--rolling his eyes and even looking up at the ceiling in frustration. No parent should ever have to witness that kind of behavior directed at their child, especially a child on the spectrum who needs patience and support. To make matters worse, when we called to cancel and withdraw our kids from the program, the staff member we spoke with didn't even ask why we were leaving or show any concern at all. That lack of care and understanding was just as disappointing as what we saw during lessons. Parents of children with autism, please think twice before enrolling your kids here. We all want an environment that offers patience, care, and encouragement, and unfortunately EVO did not provide that for our family. We will not be returning.

We didn't see what happened but according to what she told us she was bullied by 2 boys in her group and pushed under the water. What really surprised us is that there were 2 instructors and only 4 students- they said that they didn't know what happened. 2 instructors supervising 4 students and they didn't see anything??? Our daughter was crying all the way until we got home, this is what we are going to associate Aqua Tots with.

He wanted to come for free swim on Saturday to practice his swimming and use the diving boards more. The pool is ok with a small water slide, diving board, and small kid splash area. The pricing isn't bad for him, but for me to go in and sit, it's twice the price of him. I only had enough for him to go in so I had to stand outside the fence to keep an eye on him. Non swimmers should not pay to sit on the bleachers. Otherwise this place is ok for the kids to have out an hour or 2 in the summer.

I just think she needs to work on confidence since she still doesn't like to swim in the deep end of our pool. The facility is clean and the goldfish theme is cute, they even have a fish tank that my kids like to see. The lil table with books and crayons is a nice touch. There are good amenities - lots of changing rooms, a changing table, hair dryers and dryers for your swimsuits. I've never had issues with rescheduling classes if needed. Just keep in mind if you decide to stop with lessons but you still have a class or two to reschedule, they won't allow it. You must still be active. There is also a sibling discount if you have more than one child taking lessons here.

We started swim lessons this week and a sweet man named Jake was her instructor... well she didn't like that and screamed and freaked out ( sorry Mr Jake) so another instructor had to come over and help. Olivia is her name and she took the time to take over the rest of her lessons in order to accommodate my daughter. I'm so thankful that your instructors were able to adjust to her needs! Also they have temperature controlled pool and the accommodations in the bathroom are great (shampoo, conditioner, etc). Made it easier to get her cleaned up before she goes home. We will get our younger daughter signed up soon! Thanks again!

He was attentive and took the necessary time to explain, and even had comments at the end for each individual swimmer. My son looked forward to coach Cory. One Saturday they switched over to coach Katie (I believe, I can't see a history) and she had someone with her to train maybe? They sped through everything in about 10 minutes....these classes are $25. There was no comments at the end, nothing. On top of everything these two girls talked and messed around the entire time. I tried again the following Saturday and it was the same girls. This time they had fake babies they had found and apparently named. They were throwing them at each-other and just playing with these babies the whole time and again speeding through everything while taking care of a fake baby. It was all very unprofessional and childish and awkward. This is a job, not a hang out sesh with your bestie. I ended up canceling because even my son did not like coach Katie.

Having only been to one of the Mesa community pools-slash-aquatic centers, I can't really judge…read morethis against anything else. So I can only relate my experience here and let it stand for itself. This is a former junior high, turned into a recreation complex. The pool itself is really three pools--one is the kiddie section with a sloped beach entrance and a tower with buckets that fill up and dump out water sporadically. There's a small slide for the wee ones, in the shape of a frog. The kidlets slide down the frog's tongue and giggle and squeal. Then at the other end is the diving area. Two lower diving boards and a high dive. Not so high, but high enough that every so often a kid will get up there and wuss out. I've done it once as a 10-year-old, so no judgments from me. The other pool is the landing area for the waterslides. Two small ones--big enough that there are height restrictions, but not like a waterpark kind of slide. Just enough that the younguns will have something to break up the simple pool bobbing. There are a few lap swim lanes, and there are bleachers on the north side with shade, so I'm guessing there are probably swim meets here? Then you've got one big pavilion with cement and a large umbrella with grass. Pull your chairs in and hunker down. There's also a small area with tables for your snack needs. The facility is nice. The pool is nice. The bathrooms/changing rooms area little nappy--but that's their design. Concrete floor and a trough of dribbles and drips under the urinals. Other than that, the lobby serves its purpose and is indeed air conditioned.

StretchLab is a place dedicated to moving you into positions that you may have never reached before. 25 or 50 minutes of oh so wonderful short term discomfort for long term relief and benefit! In my training for a 50k, my training partner and I were looking for any way to rehab and recover from long runs and workouts. Nearing our 40s, our bodies don't bounce back like they once did. We both went to StretchLab on a few different occasions to focus heavily on all parts of our legs, but also emphasis on thoracic rotation and upper body mobility as well. Big shout out my trainer/stretcher Alex, who was always a pleasure to talk to. He really knows his stuff, and I felt very comfortable working with him. He would ask informed questions about my training, and was able to help pinpoint areas that I needed some extra work to really maintain full range of motion. I am happy to report: no injuries during my big run, and I felt like I can chalk that up to the entire training regimen, including the importance of rest and rehab - stretching being an integral part. Training for an athletic event? Or just want to be able to function properly without the fear of pulling a muscle? Or, if you just want to feel more effective in everything you do, consider StretchLab as part of your routine.
