I cannot say enough good things about Blue Buoy Swim School! After a really negative experience at…read moreanother swim program (Aquatots), my daughter was left scared and resistant to getting in the water. A friend recommended Blue Buoy, and I am SO glad we gave it a try. From the very first trial class with Coach Turner, my daughter felt comfortable and safe. She usually hates putting her head in the water, but with his gentle guidance and encouragement, she did it without hesitation--something I never thought I'd see so soon! We've now been coming for 2 months, and the progress she has made is incredible. Not only has her confidence grown, but her skills in the water have improved so much. The staff is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about the kids. The environment feels warm and supportive, which makes all the difference. Coach turner really knows how to work with the kiddos ! If you're looking for a swim school that builds trust, confidence, and real results, Blue Buoy is the place to go. I'm so thankful we found them!

Brought our Nephew here for a trial small beginner group class on a Saturday. Went great, the…read moreinstructor was amazing and the nephew loved it. Went to sign up for another class, however we were told by scheduling after the fact that the trial class was not just a trial class but a tested/assessment class (we were never disclosed that prior), fine no worries. Then we're told our nephew has been assessed to be a beginner - level 1 (which is fine that's what we signed him up for beginner lesson group class). Then we're told the instructor only teaches level-4 swimmers on Saturdays and teaches beginners during the week during extremely rough times for traffic and such. We end up saying fine, we'll make it work and we sign up for the more difficult time for the beginner small group class, we'll accomodate. The weekday class goes great...We get a call the next day to pay for a long term session (which we intended to do anyway) and then they tell us that the instructor claims our nephew insteads needs more costly private lessons rather than small group lessons. At this point the whole situation has become comical. As you can read and detail above. It seems very much like a bait and switch tactic...sign up for an great timed trial class, have your swimmer bond with an instructor and then get told your little swimmer was actually tested and needs to be put either with a different instructor or the same instructor at a difficult time slot...then once you agree to that they then decide your little swimmer needs much more expensive private lessons instead of the group lessons you signed up for. Mind you we made it very clear during all interactions that we're pretty tight on budget and that seems to have been lost on them. Overall they have solid instrutors and a nice facility but it seems there's a lot of underlining bait and switch tactics happening at the back office which makes us no longer want to go here which is sad because our nephew was bonding with the instructor.

We've seen their progression catapult! You know kids enjoy what they're learning when they reenact the swim lessons in the bathtub. Shout outs to coach Joss (sp?) and Gabby! Our kids love them. There have been alternate coaches that they've enjoyed too. After each class, the instructor will provide positive and constructive feedback to help each child grow. 2x/week is recommended for repetition and retention. There's a promo going on for the month of December. Pay upfront for 6 months (1 month free) or 12 months (2 months free) and a discount off merch. Hop on it if your budget allows. Try out Aqua-Tots!

She always shows great patience, encouragement, and genuine care in helping each child learn and grow. My daughter loves her lessons and looks forward to seeing Coach Kristin every week.

She was very kind and graceful as I navigated the app and many schedules of the household over the phone. She thoroughly explained the current promo they have going on right now and ultimately got us all signed up for what we needed. We had our free trial class with Chris last week and I was so pleased with how friendly, soft-spoken, and patient he was with my son. My son didn't even want to go into the water for the first 10 min of the 30 min class, and Chris just continued to ask if he was ready, all the while still holding lesson and staying attentive to the other child who was in the same class. Eventually, my kiddo felt confident enough to join in and by the end of the session he was having an absolute blast. We are looking forward to continuing our swim journey here with this crew!

If you are an adult trying to learn how to swim I do not recommend this place. I paid 134 dollars…read morefor 4 lessons at 30 min each. The instructors are great but the techniques and length of swim time aren't very helpful. I called to cancel my lesson on September 2nd because I didn't feel I was learning anything but they said I was supposed to call by the 25th of August to cancel. Although apparently it's in the policy I am miffed that they won't refund me the money because I was a couple days late even though hadn't used their time yet. Long story short not a good place for adults to learn how to swim and their policies are outdated IMO. @Jen B Six classes and I still don't know how to swim a credit to a place where I haven't learned much seems useless. A suggestion for you to help everyone is to send a reminder email letting the customer know that renewal is coming so they can reply letting you know they won't be renewing. Thank you

On the day of the party, Laly stepped in and kept everything running smoothly. She organized the flow, supported the kids, and created a fun atmosphere from the moment we arrived. Fay, Tim, and Colin brought great energy and helped the kids stay engaged and excited. We chose the 2-4 ft pool and it worked perfectly for our group. Our guests ranged from 2 years old to 11 and every child found something fun to do. The team led age appropriate games and the kids loved every minute. We booked a 2.5 hour party and the timing felt just right. Music played throughout the event and the party room sat right next to the pool, which kept the whole celebration lively and convenient. The staff even helped us load and unload our supplies, which made the day feel even easier. Waterworks Aquatics gave our family a memorable celebration and our birthday boy still talks about it with a huge smile. I recommend this location and this team without hesitation.

They both moved up in levels within a few months and I'm happy with the pace of their progress. All of the teachers are so great with kids and truly are dedicated to teaching kids how to swim. While I have heard some feedback from others that their pace isn't fast enough, I really think it's dependent on the swimmer's dedication. We made sure that our kids practiced on their own outside of their classes and incorporated the teacher's feedback each time. As a result, our kids have increased their swimming skills significantly. We are very thankful for their staff and dedication in teaching kids this important skill. Also, they have an app that makes it easy to schedule, cancel or reschedule classes. And each time we've called for a question or schedule conflict, the staff have always been so nice and patient. We're very grateful to have Aqua Tots in Orange and plan to continue our lessons until our kids are too old.
