    Swim lessons with Ms Makayla
    Katie B.

    We had a great experience at Goldfish! At the front, Ms AJ is amazing! She is truly the sweetest and is so welcoming and helpful to all families. For teachers, we had Ms Makayla for most of our lessons are were thrilled with her. She was so patient with our wiggle worm daughter! They learned important life-saving skills with a focus on safety. I liked that we were able to talk to the teacher at the end of every class and get a short recap on what we were doing well with and what we'd continue to work on. Perhaps what I love most is how organized and clean the facility/program is. They really do a great job keeping it clean. I think everything about this place was organized. The app is really nice and the information is easy to find. The staff is always helpful too. I would love if they had a facility near the Severna Park/Arnold area because the drive and traffic after work hours was unfortunately too much for us to keep up long term.

    We have only completed our trial class so far but my kids loved it! Loved it so much we became members. I love the facility and how clean, organized, functional, and welcoming it is. The staff is genuinely friendly and answered all questions. I was initially worried about the group session flow, but I felt extremely comfortable as I watched the entire class for both of my kids. My favorite part is seeing the progress report at the end to know where my kids' skill sets are and how much more they need to learn in their swim level. Excited to start our membership and see my kids develop into great swimmers.

To make matters worse, they cancelled my son's last class due to pool maintenance. Because he was only signed up for one month, I requested a refund for the cancelled session since it was entirely their fault. Instead, they refused and told me I must do a makeup class so they can keep my money. They will gladly take your cash and force you into unwanted makeups even when they fail to provide the service you paid for. Terrible business practices and extremely predatory. Find a swim school that actually respects your time and money!

Plenty of pool space for the kids to enjoy. The club also had a playground , volleyball court and basketball court . Definitely would recommend for a family / friend gathering .

    Reading the other reviews of this pool make you understand just how subjective reviews are on Yelp…read more The other reviews are basically all 1's and 2's an then here I come with a 4. Not to make light of the other reviews, or try to discredit them, but it's kind of why I put off writing this review. Just in case things went left, I hadn't already jumped out there with my review. Hopefully those reviews are the reason I can write this one today. We moved to this area 2 years ago, and were a little sad to hear that memberships at this pool were limited. We put ourselves on the list, and i'm not even sure how far we are down, but we are still waiting to become members. This summer my kids were sitting around bored. I mean we go here and there, but the bulk of our time is spent around the house. So we were excited when we got an email saying they were offering memberships for the summer. We quickly purchased the membership, and now when theres nothing to do for the day my kids have somewhere they can go have a good time. The staff has been friendly, and we have not had any negative interactions with anyone. It's great that our kids get to meet more kids from the community, and make friends. My wife and I have also gotten to know some of our neighbors, which may have never happened otherwise.

Working with Nora has been nothing short of transformative. She has an incredible eye for detail and was able to pinpoint small adjustments that made a huge difference in my efficiency and form. What really sets Nora apart is her patience and flexibility. She never made me feel rushed or discouraged, even when I slipped back into old habits or made mistakes. Instead, she built my confidence every step of the way. Her encouragement made the learning process enjoyable and motivating. On top of technique work, Nora helped me create a new swim-based workout routine that I genuinely look forward to. It's become a major stress reliever and a part of my week that I truly value. If you're looking for an instructor who is knowledgeable, supportive, and completely dedicated to helping you grow, I can't recommend Nora's School of Swim enough.

Unlike large swim schools, I provide individualized lessons with a patient, upbeat style that meets each swimmer where they are. I’m especially passionate about helping adults overcome fear of the water and breaking barriers in communities that have been underrepresented in aquatics. Every lesson is about progress, safety, and joy in the water.

There's nothing for them to do and they cannot be left to play ping pong or air hockey while you work out. You have to watch them the entire time. Even if your kids are responsible and quiet. Pool: is the only reason I joined. It was either closed, booked by swim teams year round or cloudy and dirty. The three chances I was able to get in the pool it was dirty, cloudy and had bandaids, debris etc on the bottom. Very unsanitary. Pros: grandfathered in bar. Most of the staff are nice.

I had a negative experience at SPRFC (mainly beyond their control) and the follow on interaction I experienced was less than excellent customer service. I've been a non-member patron recently, taking swimming lessons through and at SPRF on Saturday afternoons. During my lesson on July 8th, someone entered the men's locker room off the pool area, shimmied my lock, and stole my wallet (including my military retiree ID, my government civilian ID, my drivers license, a credit card and about $50 cash), my phone, and my car's key fob. So they had all my identification, access to my car, and knew my home address. There was no one in a management position on site. The front desk clerk allowed me to use the phone behind the desk to call the police and to call home for someone to bring me my backup key fob (thankfully the car was not entered or stolen). While I was making these calls, the front desk employee texted her "manager". The manager told her she would be able to look at the video in the pool area in about an hour. I provided the employee my name and phone number when she said her manager asked for it. The responding officers talked to the employee (and maybe the manager) while I was out of earshot. The officers informed me they had inquired about video. The manager didn't ask to speak to me nor did she reach out to me. I called SPRFC twice in the following days to see if the manager/Director of Operations was available. During the first call on Monday, I spoke to Chloe, who was aware of the theft and apologized for it occurring. She said the manager was unavailable and she would text her that I had called, asking for a callback. On Wednesday, having not received a call, I tried again. Chloe answered once again and when I asked if the manager was in, she responded, "she hasn't called you yet? I'm sorry" and then she said she would send another message. That night, still not having heard from anyone in a management level, I sent the Director of Operations an email. I admit I was frustrated. I said the claims of excellent customer service were not evident in my situation and I asked what the process to cancel swim lessons would be since I had a real concern about people having unfettered access to the locker room while I'd be concentrating on my lesson. Prior to the Director of Operations reading my email on Thursday, she finally called. I was unable to answer, and she left a voicemail. She apologized for what happened and said they had found video suspicious footage of someone going in and out of the locker room during he timeframe, and she said it would take so time for that footage to be pulled. She suggested that I contact the police (she had the case number and the phone number to contact) and let them know that SPRFC had footage that would take several days into next week before they could pull the footage off. Then she said when they do get it pulled off she would contact me so I could contact the police. Then she read my email which she didn't like me pointing out that I had not received excellent customer service. She said they take things like this issue very seriously and that it takes awhile to review the video. She said she was in for a bit on Monday but had to leave for an emergency and was back in the office on Wednesday, when she reviewed four hours of footage "for me". (The provided timeframe was from 11:55Am - 1:00PM, so I'm not sure why four hours of video needed to be reviewed.) She told me SPRFC was not responsible for anything I put in the locker. I agree with that...that's why I put a lock on the locker, and I understand I'm still doing this at my own risk. She said she thinks their customer service is excellent and that she was upset to read my email claiming it wasn't. And she said she will not release the videos "at all now until I m contacted by the police". She ended by saying she wished I had been a little nicer in how I reached out. All I wanted was for someone in a position of authority to reach out in a timely manner. She had several opportunities to talk to me...Saturday just after the incident, Monday when she arrived at work, some time on Wednesday...I didn't plan to blame them for the theft...I wanted to discuss how easily it is for anyone to get into the pool area, especially on Saturday and Sunday when there are so many lessons going on, without any kind of security measures in place besides passive security video, and see if there could be any assurances of tightening up security measures so I'd be comfortable enough to continue lessons there. This time it was just a theft...hopefully SPRFC will institute some measures so nothing like this, or worse, happens again.
