We are loving the YMCA Aquatic Center. I enrolled my son in the group swimming lessons here and…read moreit's been such a great experience. He loves the mini water park section that has slides and is shallow enough where he can play in the water. The swim instructor is so sweet and makes the class really fun for all the babies. Definitely a great place to spend some days during the summer!

I registered my child for swim lessons with them when I received a coupon. Well, I now understand…read morewhy they need to lure people in with coupons. The level of incompetence at this particular swim school is astounding. On what would have been our first lesson, I received a call asking whether we could come in early as they had some openings. I said absolutely, packed up my toddler, loaded in to the car and headed off. As I'm pulling in to the parking lot 10 minutes later, I receive another phone call stating that due to the weather they cannot conduct the earlier lesson (it is now disclosed that the pool is outdoors). And informing me that my originally scheduled lesson cannot be canceled yet as they don't do weather cancellations more than 30 minutes prior to a lesson. At this point I requested to cancel the $340 lessons and requested a refund as we hadn't yet begun. This is where the true frustration began. Initially they advised that the refund would be processed immediately. 5 weeks later, still not having been received, I contacted my bank who confirmed no refunds had been received and then reached out to the swim academy and asked whether an issue had occurred. They immediately emailed me an account summary stating a refund had been sent. Another week goes by, and no refund. So I email again indicating that the refund hadn't been received. I receive a response telling me refunds may take 4-5 business days. Well, as it's been roughly 30 business days, I'd say we're well past that. So I respond indicating that the refund was supposedly processed 6 weeks ago, TO WHICH THEY RESPOND " Great! Glad to hear the refund went through!" This is why children should not run your business (there may be an adult somewhere in the building but unfortunately they were never bothered with or informed of my issue).

My daughter has cerebral palsy and Coach Leeza has taken very good care of her. At first my wife and I were very worried because our daughter still does not walk and we thought that it would be very difficult to learn how to defend herself in the water and although she is not yet able to defend herself (after 4 classes), the progress my daughter has made is important. We really appreciate the efforts and dedication.

Is it reasonable to officially display a price of $10 per adult and $5 per child, but upon arrival…read morebe charged $20 per adult and $10 per child with no explanation, when the prices are published on an official government website? It can feel misleading or confusing for visitors. Public pool? Technically, it is a public facility, but in practice it does not always feel that way. For residents, the fee is $10 per adult and $5 per child, while for non-residents it is $20 per adult and $10 per child. This is already on the higher end of what is traditionally expected from a municipal pool. In addition, the city website is not always updated with the most current pricing. Olympic pool? Yes, in terms of structure and size, but it does not include a diving area, so it is limited in that sense. Heated water? That statement can be misleading depending on the season, as the water is not consistently heated year-round. We are in April, and the water feels extremely cold, almost like "ice water." I have been coming here for several years, and this is the first time we have felt that some younger staff members are interacting with children in a more strict or tense manner; this was not the case before. There are also private hotel pools and small water parks that charge around $15-$20, and many times they feel more relaxed and accessible. This raises a valid question about value and accessibility in comparison. It also gives the impression that there is a gradual shift toward prioritizing residents (despite significant price increases for them as well) or increasing overall costs, which raises concerns about long-term accessibility for non-residents. At the same time, these facilities are publicly funded through taxpayer money, including contributions from Miami-Dade County, and entry fees are intended to help cover operational and maintenance costs. Overall, this is a matter of balance: public infrastructure is supported by taxpayers, but users also expect fair pricing, transparency, and a clear value in return. I hope these facilities do not evolve into spaces that feel similar to private venues, as that could create an unfair competitive disadvantage for private businesses in the same category.

Fun place! They have several different pool areas that are partitioned off, such as swim lanes for…read morelaps, an area for the slide and a shallower section for children. If you are a resident, the cost is just $5, but know that it is CASH ONLY unless you spend more than $10. They also have a lot of cheap community swim classes, including aqua aerobics, and times for just swim lane/swim laps. There are plenty of lawn chairs, even on the weekend, and the staff are helpful. Pool feels clean, the area is similarly clean. I did NOT go into the bathroom so cannot comment on those facilities. Plenty of free parking on the premise, and during the busier season (summer, I believe?) it looked like there were concessions and the slide would be open. All in all, I have spent several pleasant afternoons here when I did not have to work or got out early.

I asked a very simple question, how much are your lessons? The first time I was ignored, I was getting the sales pitch. Second time I asked I was given a brochure, again describes the classes but no pricing. I explained the the person there is no pricing, how much do your classes cost? They then advised me that in order to get a price I had to call the office. They had over 10 people at their booth working for their company and not 1 person could tell me the cost of their lessons? This was frustrating, unethical and just down right shady. PARENTS DO NOT USE!
