What a terrible experience with the Ultimate Defensive Driving School and the owner James Clair…read more I'm not a great driver; I speed, I roll through stop signs, I am that jag off that cuts you off. But I've never been in an accident (fingers crossed!) and I've managed to sweet talk my way out of tickets. I decided that with the prospect of having kids staring me down the barrel, I should learn good habits and actually better my driving. My own attempts have been in vain. The SEO (aka, the best google results) were for the Ultimate Defensive Driving School. I elected not to contact other schools as this one proudly stated it was Veteran Owned. Hey! I've got a family of veterans and I'm marrying one soon. Seemed like a great fit for me. I sent them an email; heard a prompt reply to call them. (What? Why? Is this 1984?) So I did, spoke to the receptionist, spoke to the owner. He asked, I answered questions about my situation. He told me he'd get back to me with a schedule of availability and rates and times, etc. A full day later, I received an email saying "It's $150 for one 90 minute session". I replied asking for time slots available, as I work from home 4 days/week. I also made a joke about how that's pricier than my attorney, would he be willing to work with me given the winter season is a slow time and my flexible schedule? I offered to pay for 3 sessions in advance A nasty, angry reply immediately was in my inbox from James. "No, we don't discount or negotiate. It would cheapen our services". And then, a sarcastic middle finger statement of "Best of luck in your training". Sounds like somebody's got a case of the PTSD Mondays............. UPDATE: 9/21/15 Owner's comment is below. He is challenging the veracity of my statements - as in, calling me a liar. I am more than willing to post screenshots of the emails to validate my statements - being told to call, then getting an email in response to my call and his sarcastic reply. My husband is an honorably discharged veteran; as per my earlier review, that's why I chose to go with them in the first place.

Marcia let me know that the color would change (darken to lighten and permanent) and what to expect, referring to it as a roller coaster ride.

Took my 2.5 year old for his first swimming lesson this past week. Big Blue just opened in…read morecranberry township within the past month. Upon entering I was greeted by the general manager who gave me a quick tour and told me all about how our lesson would go. There are several dressing rooms, cubbies to keep belongings while in the lesson, disposable wet bags, and a little play area for kids waiting for their turn for a lesson. The pools are separated into lanes based on a child's class level. The entry way/seating area for parents and the pool is separated by glass so parents can watch with ease while not being in the pool area. My child was in the youngest baby class since this was his first lesson and therefore I was required to get into the pool with him. We had a great time and he had a great first lesson. His teacher was kind and kept things moving on a tight schedule, but there was still time to accomplish everything necessary for the lesson. I was impressed by the scheduling and promptness of the lessons so that kids were in and out on time for the next class. During the lesson my child was taught to put a "balloon" in his mouth (hold his breath) and to blow bubbles in the water. He was taught safe ways to enter and exit the pool. Parents were taught various holds that would allow for their child to explore the water in safe ways. Kids were encouraged to begin learning how to float on their backs, how to get to the wall and hold on, and were taught very introductory swimming, by pushing off from the wall with the help of a parent. After the lesson we were able to get out, rinse out in the shower that's right off the pool (soap dispensers have baby shampoo/wash in them), and then make our way to the dressing room to change. My son loved every minute and we are excited to come back! The pool and pool room were very comfortably warm which made getting into the pool easy. Leaving the pool into the changing area was freezing though. Haha! Overall a great experience and so glad to have a swim school closer to home!
