I had heard about this location before, but I always took my kids to the local rec pool because it…read morewas the cheapest option. Color Me surprised when I saw that Waterbabies was offering a once a month free swim hour in the Kent rec catalog. So, we decided to give it a try. It's only about 16 minutes from my house so it's not too far to go. Getting there was not very tricky. I followed my GPS, which led me behind a bar at the far end of a business complex. Parking has always been easy to find, even a close spot near the door. We've been here three times since and my girls love going. To be honest, I love going too. But what sets it apart from other pools is that they have really awesome foam toys that I had never seen before, like a floating foam slide and a foam canoe that fits two. They also have lots of handheld toys, rings, and goggles to use. They have the larger pool, which is 4 ft throughout, and they have a smaller one by the door. My one gripe with using the local pool was that it was always a fight to get a shower afterwards...But not here. We've always been able to walk right into the changing room, shower with pleasantly hot water, and know that our belongings are safely stored in one of their lockers. One convenience feature I also saw was a pack and play available for moms with babies that need corralling. All of the staff is very nice, with even keel, reasonable energy. You don't get overtalked to, but everybody is informed in case you have questions. It's been a really great experience coming here and I hope they continue to offer this monthly family swim!

Update they made it right added a few stars…read more I had my daughter's birthday here. We weren't impressed by the lack of communication and how long it took to get a reply and book the party. It's nice you have the entire space for just your group and you can use all the water toys they have. Which is a ton of fun toys. The party space was a good size for the group of 12 kids but their wasn't a lot of extra chairs for the adults. I liked that we were allowed to tape decorations. You are responsible for setting up the whole room. The tables were all folded in the corner and chairs in stacks. The huge negative was the pizza package that was clearly stated on the website to include juice, water, plates, napkins, and forks... When we ordered it it wasn't mentioned they didn't include those anymore we found out a few minutes before the party was going to start! One of us had to run to the store to buy the needed things and missed half the swimming time for my daughter's birthday. If it was just me I don't know what I would have been able to do to get the needed supplies and watch my kids... If we had known none of those were included and it was only the pizza I could have bought and picked up the pizza for a lot cheaper since dominos is in the same complex as the pool. And I would have been prepared with the items we needed.

After calling several times and not getting a response, I was able to finally get a hold of someone…read morefrom the company. I wanted to enroll my son who is autistic. I tried to explain to them that he is high functioning and is able to listen to instructions, in addition I would be there during the class. The lady put me on hold after telling me about an adaptive aquatics class they offer only to come back and tell me they do not offer this in the state of Washington They refused to talk about the policy and no manager was available. To be honest I rarely post negative reviews but this level of discrimination is ridiculous. How do you refuse to teach a kid how to swim because of a diagnosis? Super disappointed will definitely not be recommended to anybody. Luckily there are better companies that have been much more helpful.

It seems like there's a lot of extra work to have swim classes at this location. I cannot tell you…read morehow many times in the last few months they have canceled the classes because they were understaffed or somebody called out sick last minute. There were times where it was two weeks in a row, and somehow we are given makeups that expire within two weeks. Additionally, you are only given one make up class per month, so if you happen to miss more than one, they will not provide a "make up token". Due to the missed classes and the understaffing we have missed out on quite a few. They also are very bad communicating because we have shown up to the pool with no teachers and no classes going on. It's a big waste of time. Not to mention that we are not allowed to use the dressing rooms or showers at LA fitness. You can get cramped trying to dress a toddler in a tiny pop-up changing booth. LA fitness certainly makes you feel like second class citizens.

Amanda S. is the ultimate instructor!…read more I had previously put my 2 children in the YMCA swim lessons as well as Hazen High School swim lessons, with failure. When we started with SafeSplash, I feel we were extremely lucky to find this program and the team of instructors, but more than anything the instructor Amanda S. is incredibly in tune with the students, both individually and within groups. Amanda S. is a swim instructor as well a school teacher and I believe this extensive experience and her take-charge attitude really encouraged and supported my children's confidence in the water, as well as taught them (and currently teaching them) this important life skill. Thank you SafeSplash, and thank you to Miss Amanda S.! We are forever grateful and appreciative!

I did a Google search of places that had swimming lessons and this place popped up. It looked like…read moreit had good reviews as well. I signed up. It was a little confusing because when I signed up, my credit card wasnt charged. For 2 kids, the initial price was $250, I believe. After a couple of days, I got charged and I logged in and it showed the days we were enrolled. The business looks like a house swimming pool. If the class is full it's 4 kids max for one teacher. I think each kid has about 4-6interactions for a half hour. One trip to the other side of the pool is considered an interaction in my observation. I could be wrong. Once the kids get to the other side, they are instructed to wait. During the waiting period, they need to put both hands on the wall. There's no play time -just waiting and instructing when you have one-on-one time. Once you're time is up, you are expected to leave the pool, I feel like. I suggest getting all ready to go before your scheduled time cuz the 1/2 hr goes by fast. You want to get the most out of the time you have. I like that the pool is heated and it's a good size. There's a lot of waiting time. I mean, a lot, if class is full.

We have been taking classes here since last year with Ms Audrey…read more Ms Audrey is amazing! My kid was reluctant to go to swimming classes after a long break but when I told her Ms Audrey will be taking the classes, she readily agreed. Ms Audrey is punctual, engaging and very friendly. She deals with the kids very patiently and is aware of their skill levels hence teaching them as per their needs. My kid has learnt a lot with her and is confident in getting into water. The pool is clean and warm enough that my kid has never complained about the water being cold. Sufficient parking is available.

This facility is absolutely disgusting. My son brought pinworms home twice (1 1/2 years apart)…read more Each time was on break from school so there was no possibility he picked them up at school. The first time was on winter break and two weeks after he swam here we discovered them. Figured it was a fluke and was unlikely to happen again so I signed him up for swim camp during the summer of '25. Ridding your home of pinworms is extremely tiring and difficult to do. Needless to say it caused myself a tremendous amount of stress. The teens that work here obviously don't clean/sanitize the locker rooms etc. I was fortunate to get a refund for the remainder of the summer he didn't go. I will never bring my family back here again.

Our kids have been going here for just over a year. They love it and they have progressed immensely. Our 6yr-old has gone from being a total non-swimmer to being a confident swimmer.

We just moved here and I was looking for a school for my two kids that offered high quality…read moreinstruction, and just as importantly, a safe environment where I know they will be in good, reliable hands. This swim school completely fits the bill. My first phone call with Tracey, the owner, gave me a great first impression of the school. She explained the programs they offered, answered all my questions, and helped me choose which classes were a good fit. Since I have two kids, she shuffled some things around in the schedule so that both kids can go on the same night with one lesson after the other. This is very convenient :) Also convenient is that all administrative stuff is available on their website, so I didn't have to fuss with printing out paperwork. On the first day of class, Tracey warmly greeted us at the door, and got us set up with everything we needed (including complimentary swim caps). For my 4-year-old's beginner class (Minnows), there were 4 students and 2 very capable, hands-on instructors. They were both excellent with kids and you can see that the kids are having a lot of fun. To get kids used to the water, they play a game where each kid gets a turn to do an activity for a short burst of time. They work in round robin fashion, and go very quickly, so as to keep it fun and make it less frightening. This method worked really great on my son because within the first couple of lessons, he overcame his fear of swimming. At the end of the class, they bring out toys and inflatables and this is my son's favorite part of the class. My daughter is in a more advanced class where they work on their strokes and swim laps. Again, great instruction, and she loves the class. By the way, the facilities are really nice. They are in the recreation building of a new apartment complex (Avana 522). The pool is a great size, nice and clean. Outside of the pool area there is a lobby with free wifi, sitting area with tv, and vending machines. It's been 3 weeks now. My kids LOVE their swim lessons and it's amazing to see all the progress they've made in such a short amount of time. All in all, we couldn't ask for any better. If I were to grade this school, I would give them a solid A+.

It's been over half a year since I started going to this gym and the review definitely needs an…read moreupdate. Cleanliness of gym: 5/5 The gym is always clean. You consistently see staff cleaning and maintaining the gym. And I don't mean a superficial clean either. I love that I can be assured that the staff is always going above and beyond to maintain a clean environment and all I have to worry about is people wiping down the equipment after they use it. Customer service and staff: 4/5 Overall, the staff is friendly. They typically always welcome everyone in and say bye when leaving. You don't typically find the front desk unattended but during certain times when only one person is working, you may have to wait a few moments if you want to use the black card amenities. Equipment: 4/5 There is a good assortment of equipment and weights. They do not have as much new equipment as some of the newer PF locations in the surrounding area but they a good assortment of weight machines. And a few newer ones that they didn't have before. It would be amazing if they had free weights added to the Room where you can work with a personal trainer or really just the area where people do workouts with mats. When I went to another location and they had the free weights on stands that you could use in there, I was thinking all locations should have that. Black card amenities: they don't have as luxurious massage chairs as other locations but these chairs do the job. The tanning beds and booths are top notch and excellent. The hydra bed and lounges are also great amenities to take advantage of. I have yet to use the red light booth but plan on it. Culture of the gym is a very mixed vibe. There is often a large assortment of people. Teens, senior citizens, middle age like myself, newbies and avid gym goers, as well as a few muscle body builders. But I never come to the gym and feel uncomfortable. I never feel like I'm in a space I don't belong. Instead I feel comfortable and happy and know that I can get a great workout in. Even on busy days, it's pretty easy to rotate between the machines. It may be harder to use the machine with the cables and pulleys as these are very popular and it may be hard to get a bench right away by the dumbbells and barbells but with a little patience you can get access to one. Overall, this gym is definitely one of my favorite locations when it comes to comfortability and accessibility to equipment.
