From the moment we toured the facility, I felt confident in our decision and even canceled our other swim school trials because I knew this was the place for her. She completed her trial lesson and has now had two lessons, and she absolutely loves it! The facility is always clean, organized, and welcoming. Every employee we've interacted with has been incredibly kind, helpful, and patient. Most importantly, I can already see my daughter gaining confidence and making progress in the water after just two lessons. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend this swim academy to other families!

My son Liam has been attending Evolution Swim Academy in Mission Viejo for over a year, and the…read moreprogress we've seen has been incredible. When he first started, he was very afraid of the water and cried through many of his lessons. Miss Kristin was so encouraging and reassured us to keep going--and we're so glad we did. Over time, the tears stopped, his confidence grew, and he began progressing quickly. He's swam with several instructors throughout his time there, and every one of them has been wonderful. He enjoys seeing Miss Tamera and is currently with Miss Ali. All have been great. Liam is now in Swim Stars 1 and is excited to continue advancing through the program until he reaches the highest level. We couldn't be happier with our experience and have referred other families .

We brought our son here when he was 9 months old and my wife enjoyed the water time with him. Fast…read moreforward to three years old, turning four and they were still in the water together! My biggest three gripes were that we were watching younger kids come into the class and we essentially became the co-trainers. My son was so bored he just goofed off and didn't listen anymore because he could already do everything at that level since he'd been in the same class for over a year. We had asked her and she said she could move him up but she had to find spots in her other classes and she kinda seemed like she preferred the parent staying because it would be less work for her. Which goes to my next gripe that the other families in our time had been with us since the beginning! Yet she was willing to move all of our times, while they were still infants, to their nap time but she couldn't find time to transition them to swim by themselves. Since going, we've had the time changed 4 times all on Saturday. As any parent can attest to, messing around with nap times is a huge PITA. You could make the argument that she was being cautious not letting him swim without his mom because she felt he wasn't ready. However, he had been swimming without my wife for over a year already. We had been going to another swim school because she stated there weren't any slots open and weren't seeing much progress with her. The last complaint I have is that we never got what we paid for. The class started 10 minutes late and ended 5 minutes early. For a 30 minute class that's essentially half the class she spent chatting with the class prior, snacking, or ending it so she could snack. That's very unprofessional and should be something she baked into her schedule versus taking time in the class.

My son has been taking lessons at Waterworks for about three years, and in particular he has had…read moreprivate lessons with Andrew for the better part of two years. It took us a minute to find the right instructor, but once we met Andrew it was apparent my son was in good hands. Andrew (or "Coach", as my son likes to call him) understands my son's sensory needs and ADHD and uses that knowledge to keep him simultaneously safe, engaged, happy, and progressing as a swimmer. Andrew always has something positive to say about my kiddos progress while also noting areas that he wants to see improve/work on over the next series of lessons. My son likes to know what's on the agenda for each day and when it's a swim day he always whispers a little "yes!" to himself. I know that joy and confidence comes from the fantastic work that Andrew puts into each lesson. My kid looks forward to being at swim because he looks forward to being in the water, and especially, spending 20 minutes with Coach Andrew. Waterworks is a happy, inclusive space, and if you get to schedule your lessons with Andrew your kiddo will be just as happy and safe as mine. Cannot recommend Waterworks enough -- most especially if you get Andrew.

We enrolled our daughter in the Parent & Me swim lessons over June and July, and unfortunately it…read morewas a very disappointing experience. During the course we had three different instructors, all of whom were very young and lacked the confidence and experience to effectively teach the class. Rather than being a true swim lesson, this program is really just a water introduction class. It should be marketed that way so parents know what they're paying for. At roughly $33 per lesson, we expected our daughter to begin learning foundational swimming skills. Instead, most of the class consisted of splashing in the water, singing songs, and doing activities like the hokey pokey. While there's certainly value in helping children become comfortable in the water, that's very different from what most parents think of when they sign up for swim lessons. We ended up skipping the last two classes because it simply wasn't worth our time. We weren't the only ones who felt this way--multiple parents expressed their frustration and even spoke with management after class. I know this facility has an excellent reputation and has produced Olympic swimmers, and the staff was always friendly. However, the Parent & Me program does not live up to that reputation. A friend of mine has had her child enrolled here for over a year and a half, and at age three she still isn't any closer to swimming independently. They've since withdrawn their daughter and enrolled her elsewhere. The facility itself is beautiful, and everyone we interacted with was kind. But for this particular program, I honestly felt like I could have taken my daughter to our community pool for free and had the exact same experience. If you're looking for actual swim instruction for babies or toddlers, I would recommend looking elsewhere. If you're simply looking for a fun water introduction and bonding experience, this class may meet your expectations--but that's how it should be advertised.

Terrible Lifeguards working here. I would be cautious taking a child here who can't swim…read more Today, there were 5 lifeguards and none of them saw a boy significantly drowning/cannot swim. Did any of them help? Nope... It's like they didn't even see a child right in the middle of the pool screaming for help. Luckily, I walked up when this was happening and saw the boy drowning, and jumped in to save him. He was very shook and still none ever came to check on the drowning kid. What are these lifeguards doing? Is it just a show or can they seriously help a drowning person? This is ridiculous. Other than this BIG experience that happened today, the grounds are clean but they need more tables and chairs around the pool areas. And actually making sure the lifeguards are doing their responsibility.
