I want to preface this review that I am an extra picky person when it comes to places I like to…read moretake my kids so you might want to take my review with a grain of salt.. We visited for the first time a couple weeks ago for a trial class for both my kids. I picked a day of the week where they could both take a class at the same time. Pros: *the teachers were great! *The kiddy pool that the kids can play in before/after is fun for them. Cons: *it's connected to the gym right behind it and apparently the gym goers get to use the same pool facility. There was a couple weird/creepy looking old men in small swimsuits that were using some of the lanes in the biggest pool, that didn't make me feel comfortable as a mom. *there was a man who was either an owner or manager, he had long hair and he looked like a creepy guy as well, which sets off my mom radar (when you work around kids for a living, you should be very aware of the appearance you put off to parents), I will say he did kindly ask how our class was.. *this place is hot and humid as all heck inside where you sit to be close to your young kids, we only had a 30 minute class but it felt like forever and I was sweating everywhere but the time we left. Just not a good fit for us.

Water Wings treats you like family. Today my son had a substitute instructor, and when we got to…read morehis lesson, my son asked Tony (the manager) if he would teach him today. Tony didn't even blink and jumped into the pool to teach him. My son was so happy! Tony knows all the kids names and is very engaging with parents. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and you see results after just one lesson.

the staff told me the following: Dive Magic has 2 locations…read more This location is basically for equipment repair, and rental for local diving. the other location has the pool for instruction, retail sales, warm water diving equipment. The location has a selection of wet suits, but did not appear to be a full spectrum retail location. Suggest you try the other location first.

Thank you so much for offering these lessons as we've never had any professional swim lessons as of yet. What a great first experience for him! Thank you again! Wishing he & his brother could have weekly lessons throughout the year!

We signed up for swim lessons hoping to nurture my daughter's love of the water. Instead, we ended…read moreup with weekly tears. The program isn't adaptable to the child's needs at all. Instead, they expect very young kids to conform to a rigid teaching style, regardless of how it affects them. I eventually requested to cancel our membership. I hadn't planned to share how disappointed I was, I just wanted to walk away quietly. But when the receptionist pressed for a reason, I calmly explained that it simply wasn't a good fit for my family. Her response? She told me my 3-year-old daughter was "too sensitive." That was not only completely unprofessional, but also incredibly inappropriate. I wasn't asking for feedback. I was trying to protect my child from an environment where the teacher was far too serious for a toddler and clearly not the right match. Swimming should be fun, especially at this age. Period. This place missed the mark, and then doubled down on the failure by dismissing a parent's concern. We won't be back.

We were very disappointed with our experience at this swim school. Our kids weren't making any real…read moreprogress, and the lessons just didn't seem effective. When we decided to stop attending, management showed no willingness to offer a refund--instead, they only provided a credit for future use. What they don't make clear is that using that credit later requires paying a new enrollment fee, which feels very misleading. Overall, we're frustrated with both the lack of results and the poor customer service.

I have had a very difficult time working with this swim school from the beginning. I signed up for…read moreprivate lessons and was contacted the evening before asking if we could switch times and when we arrived no one was there and our lesson started 10 minutes late, I had booked two private lessons but ultimately my kids had to share an instructor for the first half of lessons and then were finally split up so we really didn't get the benefit of two private lessons but had to still pay as if we received two private lessons. Then I signed my kids up for group lessons, my daughter who is in level 2 had a great experience whereas my son in level 1 was left unattended in the small wading area the majority of the time and had less than five minutes of instruction time and otherwise was completely unattended playing. I decided to give it another shot and signed up for an additional month of lessons and the first lesson I signed up for although it was advertised as March on the site ultimately when I purchased it showed February in the Email confirmation so my enrollment was not active, but the charge was in my account. I immediately emailed to get it corrected as February lessons had already ended and we had already attended them but received no reply. I went ahead and signed my other child up for March lessons and after a week and several emails and voicemails that had not had any reply I went ahead and signed my son up for the March lessons in order to secure a spot while still trying to remedy the situation. Two weeks later, six emails, two voicemails and multiple texts later I received only response via text with a promise to resolve the duplicate of charge which ultimately was never resolved and none of my emails were ever replied to once. There is often last-minute communication about being shortstaffed, classes that need to change times and all sorts of chaos it seems to be happening all the time and they apparently don't monitor the email system whatsoever or just make a choice not to reply to people. I think the instruction in private lessons is good, but the chaos of working with this company isn't worth it.

There are bandaids, towels, trash, poop, pee, no liners in the toilets, no toilet paper and no soap in the bathrooms. The staff is never on time, but the lessons for children are still set to the timed schedule, so the children miss their learning opportunities due to the staff negligence. Makeup lessons are extremely hard to reschedule. Staff is not trained for Neurodiverse people, which the constant unsteady routine of staff in time mess with not only the children's lessons but a routine schedule. Do NOT recommend this company or facility in Nampa,ID.

While in the kiddie pool, my daughter went into the deep end and she walked out too far and could not reach the bottom. She went under for a few seconds while I watched from afar. This all happened while a lifeguard was standing by and her 2 instructors were in the water next to her talking to each other. I had to yell at them to get their attention and then they slowly came over like it wasn't a big deal. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Totally unacceptable! Do your job!

The baby pool (generally for ages 5 and under) is warm and shallow; but the really thoughtful feature is the large umbrellas shading the baby pool. Many babies skin just don't tolerate sunscreen; and these guys get that! They rent out noodle floats for .50 cents because other than wearable floats, floatation toys are not allowed, although you can bring your own water noodle. They also sell candy and quick energy snacks. There is an ice cream shack just outside of the entrance, but you must consume it outside of the pool premises. There is no food (other than the little candy they sell) allowed inside the pool area. I wish they would enforce this a bit more strictly. There are too many times I've stepped on chips, or sandwich crusts from ghetto slobs and their children who can't seem to go a couple hours without food. My real reason for the missing star is they are only open a couple hours at a time. Yes, the admission is very affordable, but the late afternoon hours make it difficult for those of us who like to swim early on the day or make a day thing of lounging by the pool.
