Before Premier Aquatics, there were plenty of chairs and lounge chairs in the shade, the pool was open during the summer 7 days a week, 12-5, and every Friday night was 'Family Nights' from 6-8. The lifeguards brought out a huge obstacle course and all the kids loved it. Not anymore. The pool is open less hours for recreational swim. M-Th 12-3. F-Su 12-5. There are way less chairs, and no more 'Family Nights'. It's pretty obvious why the rec hours are limited...Premier Aquatics makes more money off swim lessons than they do with recreational swim. They offer more pool passes at different price points, but none of them are through the City of San Marcos. You're buying it straight through Premier Aquatics. My kids still enjoy it, but....meh. 3 stars.

They have monthly and multi-monthly passes, I got four months for $60. They also have swimming lessons, including the one I tried, "drop-ins" on Monday and Wednesday nights, where I got one-on-one instruction on improving my technique. I'm giving them a five-star because it's actually got me back to working out on a regular basis.

I highly recommend Aquatic Waterworks for adult swimming classes! I have been taking weekly private…read moreadult lessons here for a few years, and the progress I have made is incredible. The instructors--Regis, Azul, Valeria, and Crane--are all extremely patient. They taught me everything from basic floating to mastering the breaststroke. I used to be terrified of the deep end, but their guidance gave me the confidence to swim there completely fear-free. The facility itself is immaculate, featuring very clean showers with hot water. Both the trainers and the front desk staff are super friendly and helpful. Plus, their app makes it incredibly easy to view your schedule, reschedule, or cancel classes. If you are an adult looking to learn how to swim, this is absolutely the place to go!

We enrolled our daughter in this swim school on and off for about two years and were ultimately…read moredisappointed with the lack of meaningful progress given the time and money invested. Despite years of lessons, she still cannot swim independently. We later learned that other swim programs are able to teach independent swimming skills in a matter of weeks at a lower costs. Other programs come with a guarantee of independent swim once completing the program. waterworks feels like just an endless cycle of classes with no real accountability to ensure your child progresses. Lessons are 20-minute sessions that are scheduled back-to-back. This leads to transition time between students cutting into already short lessons. When paying a premium per minute, that lost instruction time adds up. We also experienced a high level of instructor turnover. It was difficult for our child to build comfort and consistency with a teacher before being reassigned. While the school indicates that progress notes are shared between instructors, in reality it often felt like the first 1-2 lessons with a new instructor were spent simply getting them up to speed with our child's abilities. Of course lessons that we have to pay for. Make-up lessons are also restrictive. Even when they cancel your lesson, which happens frequently they issue a makeup lesson instead of a paid lesson or refund. Make-up lessons must be used within the same week and are subject to limited availability, which made them difficult to actually schedule. They also expire quickly if you aren't paying for and scheduling new lessons. During summer months, the pool is extremely crowded and noisy, and the kids can't even hear the instructors. While the instructors were kind, the overall structure and lack of continuity is not conducive to any actual progress. Save your time and money and look elsewhere.

Our experience with this organization has been among the worst we have had with any business in…read moremore than ten years. The fundamental problem is that homeowners are required to pay dues whether or not they are permitted to use the facilities. Although the young reception staff have generally been friendly, our interactions with the administrative office have often felt dismissive, inflexible, and unnecessarily rude. Even the entrance, with its locked metal gates and restrictive atmosphere, feels unwelcoming for what is supposed to be a neighborhood recreational facility. For more than a year, I have tried to resolve a dispute involving outstanding dues for invoices and notices I did not receive. Because we were not using the facility, I had no reason to know that charges were continuing to accumulate. Once I became aware of the issue, I proposed a reasonable solution: allow me to begin paying the current dues while we worked out a fair arrangement for the disputed past balance. Instead of treating this as a genuine effort to resolve the matter, the office responded with a rigid, collection-focused attitude and refused to consider a practical compromise. We were expected to pay everything immediately while still being denied access to the facilities. A community association should make a reasonable effort to communicate with homeowners, provide clear and timely notices, and work constructively with residents who are actively trying to resolve a dispute. It should not use mandatory dues and denial of access as leverage while refusing to discuss a fair payment arrangement. We were not asking to avoid our responsibilities. We were asking for transparency, basic courtesy, and a reasonable path toward resolution. Unfortunately, our experience has reflected none of those things.
