4 WEEKS OF HELL. DANGEROUS ZONE. WARNING Our experience with this club was a nightmare. Over four weeks, my son faced targeted harassment, constant stress, and bullying in the locker room. Despite fixing every mistake within a day, he was singled out while others with the same errors were ignored. The coaching is unqualified, communication is nonexistent, and the environment is toxic--especially for immigrant families. My son, who is faster than half the team, was told he "does not fit" in a cruel email during Easter. This is not a supportive club; it's a disgrace. I will be reporting this experience to USA Swimming to protect other families. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Love this team! Amazing group of coaches and swimmers from the very beginning learn to swim program all the way up to elite professional level. read more

I wish they offered a lap swimming time block. I'll keep searching for a place that does. Went down a star due to disrespectful response from employee read more

Pros: Big pools. Cons: 1. Receptionist was cold/unfriendly/indifferent. Must be the work culture. 2. Tone of generic emails was also usually cold and sometimes angry even though maybe referring to or talking about a few parents/students only. 3. The older lady at the swimsuit fitting department seemed to have some control issues. She would not sell the swimsuit size of my choice for MY child with MY money. Her explanation just sounded to me like so she could sell me another swimsuit in a few months, she did. And the swimsuits were not cheap! 4. No opportunity to makeup classes even when my child was sick unless there was a doctor's note which would have cost more than the missed swim session (not all illnesses require a visit to the doctor). 5. Water was cold in the winter according to my child. My child would shiver in and out of the pool. My child dreaded swimming there. 6. Not enough seats for parents to watch the kids. 7. My child's teachers were different each time. 8. No regular feedback from teachers how my child was doing whether after every session, monthly or whatsoever. I don't think my child made progress. Needless to say, I pulled out my child after a few months. I regret enrolling there. It was a waste of money and our time. Our experience there was very disappointing to say the least. read more

This place is amazing! I swim her and it's really nice! I highly recommend this place if your looking forward to swim.

TFA is an amazing Swim Club, and Learn to Swim program. Built from the ground up TFA has proved to the swimming world it can be done! The coaches & staff are amazing, helpful, and all have a true love for the sport of swimming, and their swimmers. If you are looking for a great swim program in the Frisco area, Texas Ford Aquatics will not disappoint! Mandy G- read more

Not worth it.(This is not about swim team.) I have seen lot of swimming programs and lot of coaches too.This is just time pass with our money.They charge avg$25 per class and each time our kids will get different coach and they don't have commitment towards our kids .(like hourly job) Usually I don't like to write review but those guys are too much.After seeing couple of months I am writing this.We take our kids after school with so many time adjustments but really... wasting our kids time with our money. We thought it is close to our house but now we are planing to go back to my sons old coach. read more

It's got water! It's warm in the winter. Hot in the summer. Worst part about this place has next to No parking & limited seating. You got to get here early if you want a good shot at parking or a seat with a view. But most of us parents aren't watching anyway... we are on our phones posting reviews complaining about seating and parking. read more

The coaching is reasonable and my children are learning to swim! However, rating is significantly dropped due to the RUDE manager of the facility. He, by no means, knows anything about customer service. This place is SO expensive to begin with and is not at all flexible in schedules! No make-ups are given. For the price you pay you certainly get treated like garbage. I should have read reviews before signing up. Be careful what you sign up for...they take your money with ease. read more

Best swim school around! Very hands on with the kids. They teach the kids how to swim and then how to be competitive swimmers. Once they pass all of the Stations they move immediately to the club team. SO much improvement in the kids. We love Texas Ford Aquatics! read more

I really like how they have the kids progress at an individual pace vs having a group evaluation at the end of a session. A kid can graduate mid-class and move right up without a break or without parents having to figure out when the next level is taught. My daughter has improved a great deal and I think a lot of it has to do with attending twice a week classes as well. My younger daughter takes classes elsewhere and I don't think she has enough exposure. My only critique is that I wished we were able to chat with the coaches to learn about progression, I typically figure it out only at an advancement--not that important in the dead of winter, but if she were having trouble with something, we could practice at home in the summer. I also swim there (just recently started) with the Masters program and enjoy that immensely. read more

So, I recently injured my Achilles and had to find a way to continue exercising without permanently damaging my heel. I highly recommend the water aerobics program at this facility! I'm impressed by the great workout I got! Staff is friendly and helpful. Coach was motivating and easy to understand. You can pay a $10 fee to join a class as a walk-in. Perfect! I think even after I've healed, I'll continue water aerobics to give my ankles and knees a break! read more

Their instructors are fantastic- getting your kids into the program and keeping them in is horrible. They will move your schedule around at will and then force you back on a six month waiting list to have it moved back. Ridiculous front office process and policies. Try the center in Prosper- much more responsive. read more

I am on the swim team here and all the coaches are super nice and give you personal advice on your technique. I love everyone on the team everyone is super nice and i love it! ever since i moved to Texas, the first thing i did was search for swim teams and i love this team. It is such an improvement from my last team and they have so many practices and i love it! It helps me lose weight, and have fun! Love it read more

This place is a big rip off with bunch of money hungry owners. Be careful what you sign up for because they charge your card a month ahead and will not credit you if there is an emergency and no make up classes if your child can not make it for any legitimate reason. The staff are very unfriendly and don't answer phones. They prey on people forgetting to cancel their contract VIA EMAIL and charge their CC. read more

Updates : The swimming program itself is great. My son constantly compares it to another establishment we were going to earlier and feels this is so much better. He is making great progress and we can see his style improving every week. read more

I don't recommend this swim school at all. They are there only for the sake of the money. My kids went there for 6 months, and I thought they are going to imporve or get better, but nothing happened. I am taking my kid to old swim school, it's a little bit far from my house, but it's worth it. read more

I have really enjoyed Texas Ford Aquatics! I came to TFA as someone wanting to improve their swimming so I could do triathlons. I had an okay base but no idea what I was doing, my training before this was basically watching youtube videos. I did one on one coaching with Becky and saw improvements my first session. Becky was great about tweaking my swim little by little, lap by lap, so that things exponentially got better. I really felt like she cared about my performance and improvement, sometimes the session time would be up and she would stay after to give me drills to work on between now and the next session. If you are an adult onset swimmer and thinking about lessons, I would highly recommend signing up here. Part of swimming is being confident and lessons definitely helped me. I will be switching to masters soon and am glad I found TFA read more

Not worth the money. If you want to learn swimming at a reasonable price find another place. Big NO

Steer away from this unprofessional company! They dis-enrolled us but refused to refund the registration fee. The registration fee is suppose for the swim gear, swim cap and googles...etc. We haven't started any class and never do any fitting so never get their stuff. They got the gut to keep the money. I disputed via my credit card and got the money back!! They have all kinds of fees and a lot of rigid rules which make things difficult. My credit card got stolen so I am on fraud alert and the credit card company cancelled my credit card and issued a new one. Since we have not started any class, I don't even remember they will charge me tuition on 8/1. My credit card was declined when they charged it and they imposed $10 fee on my account. We were new and only been there once for try out. Texas Ford will not work with us and insisted on charging us the fee. When we complained, they claimed we signed the account and should be aware of it. I did not even remember we have an account since we enrolled more than a month after the tryout. They don't care about anything. Same day, we received an email from Toni Kline who dis-enrolled us. We don't really care to join Texas Ford at that moment, I asked them to refund every dime they charged me but they refused to refund the registration fee. Really show their business ethics!! We already signed up for another swim school which is so much better and lower kids/instructor ratio. There are many swim schools out there. Do the research. A company with so many bad reviews with a reason! read more

Both of my children have gone through Swim America and learned a ton there. They have coaches who love the sport if swimming and it shows. They have helped my daUghter love to swim and she can not wait to go every day! Team coaches are wonderful, business office is wonderful and we appreciate all the are doing to continually improve programs. read more

Texas Ford Aquatics Swim America is not your average swim lesson program. Want your child to learn to swim 300 yards continuously? Want your child to become a competitive swimmer? This is the place for you! read more

Great facility, caring coaches, swim lessons for all ages - very family oriented. Some older reviews state negatives, but only positive experiences for us! read more

I just love Coach Dan and his staff. He is so knowledgeable about swimming and cares about his team.. He taught my son to swim years ago and we think he is fabulous!! read more

If you ask him to, Coach Richard will push you hard to accomplish your goals. As hard and painful as they are, I love the IM sets because they keep practice interesting. My newest goal is to swim the 400 IM and he gave me a set breaking it down so it felt more achievable. I feel so proud of myself, and now I know what I am capable of! read more

This place is all about money. They dont care to analyse the kids swimming and if asked for evalutation they say random reasons which would not have been communicated to kids in any of the classes. They dont improvise the kids in any way. They get lot of money and try to hold the kids long in each level(sometimes even years). Please dont go to this place as this would demotivate your young swimmer. read more

We have been with Texas Ford Aquatics since it was called Frisco Aquatics, about 2 and a half years. We had tried a couple of other swimming teams but did not like them. We are very happy with the progress our son has made while at Texas Ford Aquatics. The coaches have not changed unless he moved up a group or when coaches have moved out of the area, only a couple of times in 2.5 years. The coaches have proven to be dedicated and caring. It is easy to communicate with them when needed although most of the communication is done directly with the kids. Our son enjoys the practices and has liked all his coaches. We hope to continue with this team for the long run! read more

I wish I could give a zero star. Dont' ever think of enrolling your kid here, for some reason word spread that they train swimmers for olympics and this place is crowded with more people than it can handle, but be prepared to spend around 4 or 5 k before your beginner kid learns to swim. First of all only 2 family restrooms and i have to wait with my son who is shivering to get him changed. ( They dont let non swimmers or parents in real changing rooms) Actually i am thinking of filing a lawsuit on how they got approved for this facility without adequate rooms for 4-5 year old kids for changing. Second thing is schedule - You will never get a schedule that you want and they run this like a military camp where you dont get compensation classes or adjustments in any way. This is just real smart way to keep their trainers free and make more money. Its been almost 6 months now and i have paid 6 x 175$ and still my son hasnt moved beyond station 2. they keep changing the trainers, so far my son has more than 10 trainers!!! Can you believe! They are not consistent and they don't aim to teach swimming, they keep saying hands not straight, legs not straight etc ...all i care is for my kid to swim.. Olympics is something when he swims well. They make every kid deliberately sit in a station for a long time. The intent is to make as much money as possible. This is one of the worst swim schools. The coaches are most teenagers who seem to just come over for some quick money. THIS PLACE IS A BIG SCAM!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS!!!!!! ALL THE NICE REVIEWS ARE IN 2016... 2017 this place is a real big SCAM read more

I wish I could give 0 stars. This is a poorly run facility and management. If you have ANY other choice for swim facility, choose elsewhere. My daughter took a break from the SwimAmerica program for 8 weeks because we vacationed on and off for the summer and she will have to be re-assessed to re-enter the program. That is fine- no problem. The first availalbe re-assessment date is 8 WEEKS away. Yes 2 additional months before she can start swimming again. That is poor management! If the facilty was truly concerned about regression of skills and not just making money, they would make it possible to get back into the program. Such a disappointment for such a fine-looking facilty. read more

I agree that it is all about the money. Our kids started out with Frisco Swim (LOVE Ms Pat) and competed in their first season of FASST... thought I would put them in TFA starting this past fall and they were assessed (a 5yo and 7 yo) at LEVEL ONES! (with the infants)... both of my children had A-level TAAF qualifying times over the summer but somehow they had to start at level one. I told the lady who assessed them such and she offered to re-assess (she didn't even let them swim across the pool) instead i told her that she was just looking for my money to get my kids to move up through ALL the levels... (which she said they quickly would.. yea as they TOOK MY MONEY!) and left. SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT as i was truly looking for a great swim team for my kids - i swam all the way through college... maybe things will change. read more

This is an amazing program! They have something for every age and the coaches are all incredibly knowledgable and experienced, from the USA team to the lessons and adult programs. I swam with TFA for about 7 years and earned a scholarship to swim in college. I truly believe this is the best program in the area! read more

They can go 1 instructor for upto 5 students, so basically each kid will get less than 10 minutes of class time. When I asked "how about increasing class time from 30 mins to 40 mins", they said that they know what they are doing and I am free to cancel and leave. They are not in a position to take feedback, they know Frisco people do not have any other option since hard to get into Frisco athletic center swim class. read more

I do swim team. I love going to swim and I look forward to it every day. The teachers are nice and fun, but strict at the same time. They pay individual attention to all the kids. I highly recommend this place. read more

They work with the child's best interest in mind which can be frustrating to some helicopter parents. At almost every lesson, I've seen a parent try to argue with an instructor as to which level their child should be on and the people there handle it with such grace. They show more than I probably would if I were in their shoes. My son has improved dramatically since going here and his confidence has increased tenfold! The only frustration is the door to the swim area is next to the entry way which can cause mass chaos in between lessons. Cold weather will be a concern as well. If an entry way which stuck out from the building could be added so there would be a two set of door entry system, I think that might help with traffic flow. I also wouldn't mind seeing a few more speed bumps in the parking lot for the speed demons that don't understand the 5mph posted speed limit. read more

The swim classes seem to be okay but they take customers for granted. They are arrogant in managing customers. My son had to take summer break for 35 days for international travel (beginning July to 1st week of August). We were told any 30+ days of break means the kid has to go 1 level lower or be re-assessed. Unreasonable.. but hey, thats their policy,right?. So, we decide to make request for re-assessment. Their immediate availability for re-assessment is mid October (as we make this request early August, on his return!). We have been sending 2 kids to their classes. With pricey monthly fees closer to $185 / month for 8 classes and no make up classes, their service should be FAR better. Rating of 1 (and not zero) is because their actual swim class is okay, although there is absolutely no feedback on how your kid is doing EVER, unless you ask for it. Seriously considering to take the kids out from their classes to move elsewhere and looking for other options. read more
