I had heard about this location before, but I always took my kids to the local rec pool because it…read morewas the cheapest option. Color Me surprised when I saw that Waterbabies was offering a once a month free swim hour in the Kent rec catalog. So, we decided to give it a try. It's only about 16 minutes from my house so it's not too far to go. Getting there was not very tricky. I followed my GPS, which led me behind a bar at the far end of a business complex. Parking has always been easy to find, even a close spot near the door. We've been here three times since and my girls love going. To be honest, I love going too. But what sets it apart from other pools is that they have really awesome foam toys that I had never seen before, like a floating foam slide and a foam canoe that fits two. They also have lots of handheld toys, rings, and goggles to use. They have the larger pool, which is 4 ft throughout, and they have a smaller one by the door. My one gripe with using the local pool was that it was always a fight to get a shower afterwards...But not here. We've always been able to walk right into the changing room, shower with pleasantly hot water, and know that our belongings are safely stored in one of their lockers. One convenience feature I also saw was a pack and play available for moms with babies that need corralling. All of the staff is very nice, with even keel, reasonable energy. You don't get overtalked to, but everybody is informed in case you have questions. It's been a really great experience coming here and I hope they continue to offer this monthly family swim!

Update they made it right added a few stars…read more I had my daughter's birthday here. We weren't impressed by the lack of communication and how long it took to get a reply and book the party. It's nice you have the entire space for just your group and you can use all the water toys they have. Which is a ton of fun toys. The party space was a good size for the group of 12 kids but their wasn't a lot of extra chairs for the adults. I liked that we were allowed to tape decorations. You are responsible for setting up the whole room. The tables were all folded in the corner and chairs in stacks. The huge negative was the pizza package that was clearly stated on the website to include juice, water, plates, napkins, and forks... When we ordered it it wasn't mentioned they didn't include those anymore we found out a few minutes before the party was going to start! One of us had to run to the store to buy the needed things and missed half the swimming time for my daughter's birthday. If it was just me I don't know what I would have been able to do to get the needed supplies and watch my kids... If we had known none of those were included and it was only the pizza I could have bought and picked up the pizza for a lot cheaper since dominos is in the same complex as the pool. And I would have been prepared with the items we needed.

As an adult, going back to driving school for a second time game me a much different perspective…read morefrom the one I had when I was a teen. Originally, I was a product of the public school Drivers Ed program, but returned to 911 Driving Academy for a refresher course. Driving today is much different than it was driving 20 years ago and I felt that I needed an updated version of driver's education. That's why I chose 911. The instructors are the most knowledgeable concerning the l rules of the road. These guys & gals all presently work for or are retired First Responders from our local Fire, E.M.T. & Law Enforcement Offices. Who better to teach you the laws and give you the skills that they know and they've seen work firsthand, but our firefighters and police officers. The instructors I had and a few I ran into while I was there, were all very kind and accommodating and my driving instructor put my mind at ease, while we were out on the road. They really are a nice group of men and women. After my experience, I signed my 16 year old son, Stelios, up. He starts in February! Do yourselves a favor, Moms and Dads. Allow yourself the peace of mind that 911 Driving Academy will give you. It's not easy putting your kid behind the wheel. Let the professionals at 911 Academy steer your children in the right direction to becoming a knowledgeable, skilled and responsible driver. They will not disappoint. Oh! The Kia Souls the use at the academy are really easy to drive and maneuver. Another plus for 911.

My son (19 months old) was TERRIFIED of the water, and the teacher (I believe her name was Ganga, or at least that's the name on the lesson) was so patient and supportive in getting him used to the water and having fun in the water. The assistant general manager Mason was also happy to help me corral my son back into the water when he inevitably ran away from the pool (not out of fear, but more of having fun running away from his mom stuck in the pool and desperately calling out his name... he's a jokester and a runner). I do think the lessons are pricey ($168/month for weekly 30 minute sessions means $42 every week), but I don't know what your budget is. I ended up canceling because of the price and the timing with my and my baby's schedule. If I had all the money and time to splurge on my kid, I would definitely continue. I hope you all have fun splashing safely with your kids!

She is very passionate about kids and cares for them a lot. She helped her through potty training as well! I would totally recommend kiddie academy at Redmond
