So nostalgic! Every time I swim in Lake Oswego I'm transported back to my childhood with long…read moresummer days spent swimming in the lake, jumping off the dock and playing on the sandy beach. The beach area is covered with lots of trees from large trees, there is plenty of room to picnic (grills available), a snack bar, restrooms, playground and lake access. This beach is closed to everyone except those that live within the boundaries of a Lake Grove School District. Fortunately I have friends who live on the canal and I'm invited out often for boat rides and to anchor and swim in the swimming hole by this beach. Water is surprisingly warmer than I ever predict, but still a cool and refreshing 77 which feels awesome on a hot summer day. This summer, 2020, we enjoyed many pop-up concerts where the band performed on a barge. Missing all the concert and movies in the park, this was a welcomed way to enjoy summer while being socially distanced. My favorite day is July 4th when the town of Lake O lights fireworks over the lake. This is open to anyone, but obviously it's super crowded so if you plan on watching from the beach, get there super early! We watch from the boat, anchoring and tying up with other boats, and then enjoy the magnificent display of fireworks and their reflection on the water while sipping wine, enjoying snacks and great conversation. It's one of my favorite nights of the year! Sadly, the fireworks were cancelled in 2020, along with most everything, but I still spent several heavenly days and evenings on the lake.

That steam room sitting there as a storage closet? It's screaming to be opened-people would flock to it! And the old food court? It used to rock, packing dumpsters with demand. Bring it back, and you'll have lines out the door, raking in cash. The park's got the style, the glitz, the wings-let's spread 'em and turn unused spaces into gold.

There's many things to love about this place but there's also a few drawbacks I've noticed with…read moretime. My 3 year old has been taking the junior 1 classes for a couple months. This is the first time they've ever taken swim lessons before so everything has been new to both our child and me as a parent. The set-up inside is nice and clean with plenty of changing rooms. I have been a little annoyed that the parent viewing area only has a few seats in front of the lane our child is swimming in, and if someone else is already there, you have to watch at a distance where you can't clearly see your child from. My child has mostly taken classes with Olivia who seems great with children and a very patient person. She will remember things my child is uncomfortable with; dunking their whole head underwater for example; and take things slow so they're not traumatized. My child's class size is clearly explained on the website, with a maximum of 4 kids to 1 teacher. This seemed like an agreeable thing when we signed up, however it's something that both my spouse and I have become concerned with over time. We've observed that during the short 30 minute class, our kid is only receiving a fraction of that time (5-10 minutes) being taught something meaningful. The teacher is too busy taking turns with the other kids while the other children just sit on the side waiting. I wish I'd looked into private or 1:1 lessons from the beginning. It is unknown to me if West Linn offers this option, but it seems to me that it would be well worth an additional cost. We wound up withdrawing our little one from this school recently because we decided it isn't quite worth the time it takes to leave the house, especially when our child isn't receiving the attention they need to seriously progress in learning to swim. Ending on a good note, I do appreciate that if your kid is absent and you call it in, they will give you a token to use in the future to make up that missed class. I also appreciated how kind each of the staff members were each time we spoke to them, especially Brandy.

This place is amazing!…read more My 3 year old started swim lessons a couple of months ago. Prior to starting the team there helped me with registering for a class. This included texting me to see what my best options were for days/times. As well as updating me when a new class time was available that would work for us better. Everyone who works there is so accommodating and kind! As a working mom it really helped me stay on top of registering without forgetting. The classes are continuous which I haven't encountered before. They go once a week and when they're ready they can move up to the next class level. My daughter is in class with her cousin and they absolutely ADORE Teacher Olivia. They talk about her often and are always excited to go see her at school. They have 4 kids total in their class. All with different personalities and temperaments. I am always impressed with Olivia as she manages all of them while going through the skills with each kid. Occasionally another teacher will join her as well. They do such fun and cute stuff with the kids. Like they will go for a high five and when the kid high fives them the teacher will fly back in the water like the kid has super strength. Little things like that. At the end of class they go over what the kids are doing well and what could use improvement. I really appreciate the trust Olivia has built with the girls. When they're ready to move up to the next class I hope they can still have her as a teacher! The facility is great. The pool area is super warm! Don't wear a thick coat or sweater when bringing your kid in to the pool. The water is warm too as daughter doesn't complain about the pool being cold. All the bathrooms and changing rooms are always clean. They provide soap to wash off. There's a surfboard the kids can sit on while we dry their hair after class. They provide hair dryers and it all feels v bougie and special for the kids. There's snacks for sale and the kids get a free trinket almost every class. Like a keychain or a bathtub floaty goldfish. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for swim lessons for their kids!

She spends at least 1/3 of the class talking about her personal life. Eg, started a recent class with the declaration that she is "so hung over as she got really drunk last night". I want a yoga class to stretch, not to be her therapist. I would gladly change to another instructor, but she is the only one there. The director of the facility, Melissa, is arrogant and abrasive. I have seen her be so rude to patrons, that I am surprised the city has not replaced her as she is a massive liability risk.

We are going on our 6th month of lessons with Alyson and plan to continue. My daughter is obsessed with her and talks about her all the time. When a child needs extra help she is willing to work with the families at lessons as well as give them tips to try at home (we were recently one of these families). Alyson always smiles and says hello to my daughter by name as soon as she sees her. We also love seeing her take extra time to coach the swim team and you can tell she really loves those kids too! Linda and Veronica are the ladies we have worked with in the front office and again I have nothing but great things to say about them. We love them all.
