He came at the time he said, did the two hours and set the days in advance. Ed has been an outstanding driving instructor for my son, and I couldn't recommend him more highly. From the very first lesson, Ed made my son feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. He is incredibly patient, calm, and thorough in his teaching, which really helped ease any nerves. Ed's professionalism and clear communication made the learning process smooth, and he always took the time to explain not just the "how," but also the "why" behind safe driving habits. My son looked forward to every lesson, and I saw his skills and confidence grow with each session. Thanks to Ed's guidance, my son is now a safe, capable, and confident driver. If you're looking for a knowledgeable instructor who genuinely cares about his students' success, Ed is the one to call!

Much to my surprise, it looked completely different. Wow! What a makeover! I almost didn't even recognize the new state of the art facility. I had to do a double take. My understanding is that a new owner took over the property a few years ago and spent a lot of capital to upgrade it to a very modern facility. A+++ for sure. The front office staff was friendly and helpful and so far my son is loving his lessons with Daria. She's great. Highly recommend

Go anywhere else! Stay away! They are liars and scammers! Completely unethical and unprofessional!…read more Tarrik Daou is the executive director of the Lucile Cowle Swim School (now Daland Swim School). This man has no conscience, no ethical compass, and does business dirty to make a profit. He is unhinged, condescending, and worships money over service, professionalism, and honesty. My child is autistic and is a Regional Center client. Lucile Cowle, also under Daland Swim School, said that they would create an account with a 3rd party payer so that they could be directly paid by the 3rd party vendor with the Lanterman Regional Center. I started communicating with Lucile Cowle Swim School on March 5, 2025. It is now July 2026 (16 months later), and I was finally reimbursed financially after countless calls and emails. The only way that I was paid for adaptive swim lessons was to bypass LC completely, and Aveanna 3rd-party payers conducted a full investigation to unpack their numerous lies. Dealing with this unethical company was so traumatic and all-consuming. Aveanna had to create an internal memo to no longer deal with this company because they would often refuse to respond, say they already did without turning in the necessary paperwork, and they never responded to the Lanterman Regional Center. My Lanterman Regional Center worker constantly reached out to LC, and their statements about when they responded do not align with any of the paper trail. They have made it difficult at every turn. Read my reviews. I never posted a single negative review of a business before today. Even when I get less than stellar service or food/goods-I try to give businesses the benefit of the doubt and don't want to damage their business in chance it was just an off day. However, this took 16 months of my time, and the executive director, Tarrik Daou, was so nasty, condescending, and more fearful of not covering his bases when too many outside parties (not me) came with financial questions than actually providing honest, reputable service or transparent, ethical accounting. I have a long paper trail to back up every claim I make, as opposed to Lucile Cowle (now Daland Swim School), who can't keep records or even finish setting up a business account after 8 months. This is step 1 of any financial accounting. I just can't in any good conscience recommend this awful institution or Tarrik's narcissistic personality as someone you want to deal with. Please. There are other reputable swim schools who won't lie to you. I don't call people liars easily; in fact, I literally never have before in any business review. I had to come up with a long paper trail and unravel his lies because he's such an expert gaslighter; you want to double and triple-check facts to make sure the accounting is done correctly. Please take your business elsewhere. There are swim schools that actually care about your kids, not just the money that comes with it. If your child has any special needs, please stay away. Being a special-needs parent who must advocate for your child's special needs is hard; why add to your load by constantly having to unravel one vendor's outright lies? Your time is precious, and your child can become an agile swimmer at a swim school that loves children and not just sees an opportunity to financially exploit you.

And they've been using toyota scions for lessons, so it's all right. The instructor liked to step out for a smoke here and there though, while on the lesson.
