This really does and I'm sorry I waited so long to do it. My 2.5 yr wouldn't go near the pool. By the end of the week he was swimming under water across the whole thing.

I am writing this review with a heavy heart. I genuinely did not intend to tarnish this business,…read moreand I expressed to "Ms. Julie" over the phone that I had no desire to do so. However, something about our final interaction didn't sit right with me. While she is clearly gifted with children and I initially had high hopes, the lack of professional boundaries and the lapse in safety became impossible to ignore. The Experience vs. The Environment First Impressions: During the FaceTime tour, Ms. Julie was amazing with my son; her ability to engage kids is undeniable. Even though she wore a "Trump Won" shirt--which was alarming--I dismissed it because my son was happy. I felt that if she could get him to swim, I would be happy. Hygiene Issues: While she provides an indoor observation area, it had a strong, unpleasant odor. The bathroom was the breaking point--the inside of the toilet was visibly black and unhygienic. Despite signs asking parents to use Lysol wipes, basic maintenance was missing. False Advertising: I was hesitant about a 6:30 PM session due to the temperature and the sun going down. I was explicitly told by the answering service that there were indoor and outdoor pool options. This was a flat-out lie. On Day 2 at 5:00 PM, the water was cold, my son and I were shivering, yet my concerns were dismissed by her simply showing me on her phone the temperature was 89 degrees. I do not know if salt water pools are different, but it was not warm. Professionalism & Safety Concerns The most alarming part of this experience was the total lack of focus on my child: Day 1 Conflict & Venting: After the first lesson, I overheard Ms. Julie arguing with her teenage son. She then proceeded to vent to me about it. Which was okay, but later I realized it set a tone that her personal life was the priority over the business interaction. Safety Negligence (Day 2): I got into the pool to help. Instead of focusing on my son, Ms. Julie spent the lesson venting about her personal drama with her teenage son again. She became so distracted by her own talking that she failed to ensure my son's head stayed out of the water while assisting him to float. A swimming lesson is for the child's safety, not a therapy session for the instructor. Inappropriate Comments: She told me her son "wanted to live with me" because he wants to live in a place with "no rules or boundaries." She later tried to clean it up by saying she told him that didn't exist anywhere, but it was a bizarre, uncomfortable comment to make to a client. Religious & Political Overtones Unsolicited Religious Practice: After venting about her son, she insisted on praying with me. I "uncomfortably obliged" the first time. However, on Day 2, when I explicitly said "No, I don't pray," she responded with "Well, can I pray?" and did it anyway. It felt dismissive of my own boundaries. Political Branding: Wearing "Trump Won," "Trump 2024," and "I Stand with Charlie Kirk" apparel/jewelry in a professional youth business created an environment that felt more like a statement than a service. Final Assessment I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and even spoke with Cedricka, who was great and tried to mitigate the situation. I initially decided to cancel, but after a thoughtful and apologetic email from Ms. Julie, I was actually inclined to finish the last 3 days based on that message, despite my husband's reservations. However, when we finally spoke on the phone, her tone was flat and dry. It didn't match the warmth or sincerity of her email at all. Although she apologized, the tone was not the same. That disconnect made me realize the email was likely a formality to avoid a bad review rather than a genuine realization of her behavior. The Bottom Line: Ms. Julie is a gifted teacher. If you are looking for a skilled swimmer who is great with kids, she has the talent. However, if you value professional boundaries, a clean environment, and an instructor whose focus remains 100% on your child's safety rather than her personal life, I cannot recommend this program. A swimming lesson should be for the child's development, not a therapy session for the instructor.

Sunday- Swim edition…read more We've invested in so much over the years for our son. Travel, soccer, basketball, karate... all the things. But swimming? That one is different. It's not just another activity, it's a life skill, confidence, and peace of mind all in one. At the end of the day, it's something that could truly save their life. Worth every single penny. Shout out to our amazing Coach Juan at David's Swim School (Royal Palm location). Truly gifted with the patience of an angel and great at what he does.

I found Croissant Park Pool while staying at my sister-in-law's in Ft. Lauderdale. I love swimming,…read moreand wanted something to do while she was at work. I went for the Aqua-Zen & Hydro-Fitness classes. The teachers were both great; energetic and engaging. The classes were a mix of people. Lots of boaters, but that might be true for anything in Ft. Lauderdale. Water aerobics is easier on the joints so while it's good for everyone, it's one of the few exercises people can do if they have joint issues, or are recovering from an injury. While it isn't the same as swimming laps, I was definitely sore after my first class. I also like that classes are often back-to-back. So if you're like me and want to do two classes in a row it's easy to do. Your first class is free. If you just want to try it, see what it's like, you can go at no charge to you. If you enjoy it classes end up costing about $4 a class. Much more reasonable than Soul Cycle or Orange Theory and still a great work out. And it's outside! Hydro Fitness*: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10 - 11 a.m. Water Aerobics I Schedule*: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 8:30 - 9:30 a.m. Saturday 10 - 11 a.m. Aqua Zen Schedule*: Wed 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Pricing: Resident: $30/10-visits $75/30-visits Non-Resident: $45/10-visits $112.50/30-visits Senior/Military Resident: $15/10-visits $45/30-visits Senior/Military Non-Resident: $25/10-visits $75/30-visits If you wanted to do your own lap swim routine, Adult Swim is at the same time as the classes. There are lockers on site. Bring your own lock. Everyone in the class was also really nice. I think they said they even go out to lunch once a month.

His teacher never even asked what the kids' names were and had to find out what his teacher's name was by hearing another lifeguard calling for him. Lucas it was. The Guppy class. He had absolutely no control over his class. He let the kids who weren't having thier turn jumping in and out of the water and swimming around not paying attention. And he was definately not paying attention to them. He never taught them any swimming strokes. Just told them to do the backstroke and freestyle stroke 5 feet. He just watches them and never gave any critteique. Not once. They never swam even 1 length of the pool. Not sure how they can go from this class to the Gater class when the Gater class is swimming lengths of the pool the whole time practically. He did not know any of each kids strengths or weaknesses. Teaching them to dive from the sitting position on the side of the pool when some kids could do a great job standing. Then has kids who couldn't even do a fairly good job from the side of the pool to doing it from the diving board. Unbelievable.

I was very disappointed with our experience. While the instructor tried to present herself as…read morefriendly, she came across as pushy and often asked very personal questions during class, yet never shared anything about herself. She became upset when I had to cancel a class due to my daughter being sick, even though she herself canceled several times for personal reasons. I was always flexible and accommodating so she could adjust her schedule for other students, but that courtesy was not returned. What I found most unprofessional was that she sent me long, disrespectful messages and then blocked me -- even on social media. Overall, the lack of professionalism, maturity, and consistency made this a negative experience for us. After leaving a negative review on google she proceeded to unblock me, message me and criticize me as a mother since she had nothing else to say to me. Also threatened me with sharing our conversations which I could care less since I have been saying nothing but the truth. Money was never an issue if she needed to charge me a cancellation fee for our last class I would have been more than happy to pay her. But I guess people like her are the reason why they will never get far in life.

This review is for the Masters swim team at the Fort Lauderdale Aquatics complex. What is Masters…read moreswimming you ask? Good question. Masters swim is a group/team for adults. You need to be a strong swimmer to participate but you do not need to be proficient in all strokes. Swim Fort Lauderdale offers up to four practices per day for competitive and fitness swimmers. Practice is one hour of lap swimming in a group. The coach gives different swim sets to keep it interesting. The age of SFTL swimmers varies from 18-85 (literally!). Competition in swim meets and events is encouraged but not required. The cost is $75.00 per month, parking is included with the monthly fee. Membership with US Masters Swiming is required. Fee is approximately $35.00 per year. If you have any interest in joining a swim group I highly recommend SFTL due to frequency of practices and the award winning coaches. Hey, try something new.
