So nostalgic! Every time I swim in Lake Oswego I'm transported back to my childhood with long…read moresummer days spent swimming in the lake, jumping off the dock and playing on the sandy beach. The beach area is covered with lots of trees from large trees, there is plenty of room to picnic (grills available), a snack bar, restrooms, playground and lake access. This beach is closed to everyone except those that live within the boundaries of a Lake Grove School District. Fortunately I have friends who live on the canal and I'm invited out often for boat rides and to anchor and swim in the swimming hole by this beach. Water is surprisingly warmer than I ever predict, but still a cool and refreshing 77 which feels awesome on a hot summer day. This summer, 2020, we enjoyed many pop-up concerts where the band performed on a barge. Missing all the concert and movies in the park, this was a welcomed way to enjoy summer while being socially distanced. My favorite day is July 4th when the town of Lake O lights fireworks over the lake. This is open to anyone, but obviously it's super crowded so if you plan on watching from the beach, get there super early! We watch from the boat, anchoring and tying up with other boats, and then enjoy the magnificent display of fireworks and their reflection on the water while sipping wine, enjoying snacks and great conversation. It's one of my favorite nights of the year! Sadly, the fireworks were cancelled in 2020, along with most everything, but I still spent several heavenly days and evenings on the lake.

Located inside of Hampton Inn & Suites, our swim school is open year-round, so you can learn to swim when you're ready and continue until you've mastered the skills. We use gentle teaching methods and a survival-first approach to help swimmers of all levels become safer and more confident in the water. Our safe, fun, and effective teaching methods have made us the preferred choice for parents and students for over 40 years. Our confidence-building curriculum and small group swimming classes provide a consistent format and structure with one-on-one attention for each swimmer. Private swimming lessons are subject to availability.

There's many things to love about this place but there's also a few drawbacks I've noticed with…read moretime. My 3 year old has been taking the junior 1 classes for a couple months. This is the first time they've ever taken swim lessons before so everything has been new to both our child and me as a parent. The set-up inside is nice and clean with plenty of changing rooms. I have been a little annoyed that the parent viewing area only has a few seats in front of the lane our child is swimming in, and if someone else is already there, you have to watch at a distance where you can't clearly see your child from. My child has mostly taken classes with Olivia who seems great with children and a very patient person. She will remember things my child is uncomfortable with; dunking their whole head underwater for example; and take things slow so they're not traumatized. My child's class size is clearly explained on the website, with a maximum of 4 kids to 1 teacher. This seemed like an agreeable thing when we signed up, however it's something that both my spouse and I have become concerned with over time. We've observed that during the short 30 minute class, our kid is only receiving a fraction of that time (5-10 minutes) being taught something meaningful. The teacher is too busy taking turns with the other kids while the other children just sit on the side waiting. I wish I'd looked into private or 1:1 lessons from the beginning. It is unknown to me if West Linn offers this option, but it seems to me that it would be well worth an additional cost. We wound up withdrawing our little one from this school recently because we decided it isn't quite worth the time it takes to leave the house, especially when our child isn't receiving the attention they need to seriously progress in learning to swim. Ending on a good note, I do appreciate that if your kid is absent and you call it in, they will give you a token to use in the future to make up that missed class. I also appreciated how kind each of the staff members were each time we spoke to them, especially Brandy.

This place is amazing!…read more My 3 year old started swim lessons a couple of months ago. Prior to starting the team there helped me with registering for a class. This included texting me to see what my best options were for days/times. As well as updating me when a new class time was available that would work for us better. Everyone who works there is so accommodating and kind! As a working mom it really helped me stay on top of registering without forgetting. The classes are continuous which I haven't encountered before. They go once a week and when they're ready they can move up to the next class level. My daughter is in class with her cousin and they absolutely ADORE Teacher Olivia. They talk about her often and are always excited to go see her at school. They have 4 kids total in their class. All with different personalities and temperaments. I am always impressed with Olivia as she manages all of them while going through the skills with each kid. Occasionally another teacher will join her as well. They do such fun and cute stuff with the kids. Like they will go for a high five and when the kid high fives them the teacher will fly back in the water like the kid has super strength. Little things like that. At the end of class they go over what the kids are doing well and what could use improvement. I really appreciate the trust Olivia has built with the girls. When they're ready to move up to the next class I hope they can still have her as a teacher! The facility is great. The pool area is super warm! Don't wear a thick coat or sweater when bringing your kid in to the pool. The water is warm too as daughter doesn't complain about the pool being cold. All the bathrooms and changing rooms are always clean. They provide soap to wash off. There's a surfboard the kids can sit on while we dry their hair after class. They provide hair dryers and it all feels v bougie and special for the kids. There's snacks for sale and the kids get a free trinket almost every class. Like a keychain or a bathtub floaty goldfish. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for swim lessons for their kids!

This review serves as a warning to potential members regarding a horrific experience at Mountain…read morePark Racquet and Fitness Club. In March 2025, a female was verbally assaulted and threatened on the premises. Immediately following the assault, the incident was reported to the club's manager. The club's general manager's response was inadequate, and no consequences were applied to the aggressor. The individual who committed the assault (0b1r2i3@4n 0b1*2@3r4d0) is still permitted to remain at the club, thus posing a continued threat to other members. The victim finds the club management's disregard for their safety and well-being appalling. The management's negligence in addressing this serious matter was deemed inexcusable. The club management suggested the victim file a police report, but did not expel the aggressor. The victim asserts that the club fosters a male-dominated culture where violations of the code of conduct are ignored. The general manager's inaction is seen as indicative of their priorities, which, in the victim's opinion, do not include the safety and care of their members. The victim advises against trusting the general manager of the WAMclub, who swept the assault incident under the rug and acts as if nothing has happened -https://www.wamclubs.com/contact. In general, the club members are nice and the staff is friendly. Unfortunately, a few bad actors have downgraded the club's moral standards. It's a shame.

After being a member for several months, I am dropping my star rating to a 3. One of the reasons…read morethat I was looking forward to this club was that I could work from here and then get a workout in. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi is so spotty, down more often than not, that I can't imagine being able to do any kind of work from the club. This also makes it challenging to use any kind of app which requires Wi-Fi in order to track your progress when you're lifting. The second reason I dropped my star rating was because there are a number of machines, for example the large cable machine in the main workout area, that are missing most of their weight stickers. Unless you are familiar with the weight progression of that specific machine, you are guessing at what weight you are actually lifting. Final issue, the attachments for the cable machine over in the room which has the Astroturf are very worn. A few are missing the rings to even connect and people have tied knots into the strap in order to make it work. These may seem minor but for the price you pay for a membership plus the sign-up fee, I would expect these little things to be easily taken care of.

Wow - I really wish I could give this business 10 stars!…read more I absolutely adore the staff who've helped me get my daughter enrolled. I've spoken to Lauren and a couple of other girls, and they've been incredibly knowledgeable and helpful getting me established. The location has plenty of parking and I truly appreciate how they use a private entrance to keep their families safe. They share the pool area at the LA Fitness, but it's clear they have many safety protocols in place to protect their clients. Another example of this is: the staff wear face shields in the pool while instructing the children. I really appreciate they care holistically about the children's safety. The pool area and locker rooms are spotless and clean - a must! Teacher David was our swim instructor. He was the best part of our experience. David was super respectful, knowledgeable, and great with kids. He gave me tips for teaching my daughter safe water practices and what we can practice with her at home. I highly recommended this program for anyone who wants to feel safe in a swim class and to leave confidently knowing your child is learning life saving skills in the water! Thank you, Safety Splash and team!

My experience with SafeSplash has been very disappointing, and I haven't even started classes yet…read more I initially enrolled online but had several questions because the schedule was confusing, the swim levels weren't clearly explained, and the website didn't provide enough information. When I called, I was already three-quarters of the way through the enrollment process. The representative asked me to cancel my online enrollment so he could enroll me over the phone, saying I'd get a better price. It ended up being exactly the same price. I also asked multiple times about private lessons because my schedule is very limited. Instead of answering my question, the representative kept talking about creating a group class. I had to explain several times that I wasn't looking for a group class--I wanted private lessons on a schedule that worked for me. Eventually, we found one group class that fit my schedule, and it was literally the only time I could attend. I enrolled and paid the annual registration fee based on that schedule. Then, on the day the class was supposed to start, SafeSplash changed the class time, making it impossible for me to attend. Since then, I've called twice and have been promised a callback within 48 hours, but no one has followed up. I've also been told that the annual registration fee is non-refundable because my class "already started"--even though the reason I can't attend is because they changed the schedule after I enrolled. I understand that schedules sometimes need to change, but customers shouldn't be penalized or charged a non-refundable fee when the company changes the only class they were able to attend. I hope SafeSplash reconsiders how it handles situations like this and improves both its communication and customer service. I'm happy to change my review if you change my experience. C. Travis
