This summer we found Jump Start and had Chloe as his instructor. He only completed 6 lessons - but she helped him so much! He went from being scared in a pool to going to Palm Springs this past weekend and being able to jump in the water alone, swim to safety, and play for hours on end in the water. It was absolutely INCREDIBLE to watch as his mom. Thank you so much, Chloe!! It's always hard to tell if the lessons will translate into the real world, and they truly did... we will be back next summer!

We…read morehave spent the last three summers taking lessons with Ms. Madison who has been very effective in helping my three children become more confident swimmers. My 10 year old and 8 year old were in semi-private lessons together and Ms. Maddie handled them well. My youngest, now 6 years old, can sometimes be a little stubborn but she complied during private lessons with Ms. Madison Le and Ms. Sofia Fex. Thank you both for making swim lessons fun for my children =) I'd also like to mention that Jump Start Swimming offers lessons to individuals with special needs. Overall, I recommend this business to anyone looking for affordable, 30 minute swim lessons during the summer months. See you next year!

My kids have been in Splashball (beginner water polo) for a few seasons and it has been an…read moreincredible experience for our family. As long as your child can swim independently and are familiar with a few different swim strokes, they are allowed to join. I have found these classes to be a great way to strengthen their swimming skills and getting them used to drills in the water. Beginner classes are 1 hour long on T/Th from 5-6pm and your kid will get a great workout! They also learn how to move their legs to swim in place, how to swim holding the ball, pass the ball, score and block. When they have enough skill they can move on to the next level, which is M/T/Th from 5-6:30pm. My son has loved this year-round team; even in the winter he is excited to show up. From my observations, these swim sports help children develop some serious grit; rain or shine, they go in the water ready to practice. The coaches have been great too (shout out to coach Jake! And the others too, I just haven't learned their names). They RARELY cancel practice, unless there are thunderstorms. And the absolute best part of this club: canceling/starting a subscription is SUPER easy. As long as you give them notice in a timely manner, they just pause/restart your subscription without penalties or tricks like a lot of other places do. I highly recommend!

I almost don't want to write this review, because I want to keep the gem of an instructor, Isabella…read moreK., at this location a secret. Six months seems like a good time to really attest to the quality of swim lessons my sister has with Isabella, her swim instructor. We went in hoping with all our might that my sister would be paired with a good instructor who has experience with individuals with special needs. At the beginning, I tried to find reviews on specific instructors and times that worked best, and ultimately, with sheer dumb luck, we chose Isabella. That decision has been a very fortunate luck of the draw for my sister to have Isabella for her instructor. We had very low expectations for my sister's goal in learning to swim. However, with Isabella's guidance, care, compassion, and immense patience, my sister's progress has exceeded our expectations. Isabella is a wonderful instructor who embodies warmth, positivity, and is firm even when she brings on new challenges for growth, which is perfect for my sister. With her compassion and kindness, Isabella has managed to make major progress with my sister to allow swimming goggles to be placed over her eyes. For nearly all her life, my sister has hated being submerged under water, goggles over her eyes, or anything over her face, but Isabella has been able to change that and help my sister grow in less than a year. Isabella is efficient and effective as a swim instructor. Isabella offers a safe and welcoming space for her students, including and especially those with special needs. Waterworks Aquatics is lucky to have such a great instructor as Isabella K., whose technical skills are just as wonderful as her care and empathetic nature to her students and the family she works with. She deserves to be recognized for her work, kindness, and patience. I do want to mention, this location is a heated pool facility, with a separate play look, is kept clean overall, and the bathrooms are decent in cleanliness. Parking also usually isn't an issue. My only complaint, and this is regarding the application/portal, is that often from my use, it has glitched where I can't always find the specific instructor. I've had to screen cap and send this over so the company can work with IT but it has happened a few times now. This is more of a technical critique and not related at all to the instructor nor facility.

The first day I called in as I was in front of the gate just to see if there was any possibility that we can talk with any staff here for a swimming class. The representative on the phone said there was no one work at that time, so I requested a tour at noon the next day. She confirmed that there will have a front desk staff working at that time and she will let the staff know. She did not ask for my name. The next day, before we came, i called again just to make sure there was somebody that can walk us around, the rep on the phone said just go there and the front desk staff will take you for a tour. We came, called again, the staff at this location said she could not take us for a tour as she will need to go for lunch at 12:00 by law. We said that we will come back at 2pm and she was ok that she will help us at that time. We came at 2pm, called back and the response is she cannot take me for a tour if it is no schedule. So we know that we should never come back here again

Interesting how an Aqua-Tots ads popped up on my email and brought back a painful memory. I…read morerecently found old videos of my daughter's swimming lessons with aqua tots, and watching them again was heartbreaking. She was only 4, new to swimming, scared, crying, and clearly looking for her safe place -- her parents. Seeing staff block her from leaving the pool area while she was afraid was hard to watch as a parent. I remember talking to a "Karen" that worked there, "oh thats just how it is she will get use to it" same person that did not greet us when we stood at the counter waiting. Vibe was already off and I didn't notice my instincts. I don't believe this reflects every experience or everyone there, and maybe it was just that day or the staff we had. But for us, it was unforgettable. Looking back, I wish I had trusted my instincts sooner and spoken up more. Thankfully, after finding another swim school, she learned to love swimming and moved forward. Still, watching that footage today reminded me how important it is for parents to trust what they feel and advocate for their child.
