Lots of unhappy parents to remember all their names. I have all the emails and proof we were at your school in 2023, his name is Ezekiel or "Zeke" and you scarred him for life. You are a horrible human being Joy. This review is long overdue- it's actually been 4 years since we were here but my child is STILL scarred from his experiences with Joy. We were swimming today in a pool and he said, "remember when Miss Joy made me get out of the pool and stand there in front of everyone." It reminded me how terrible she was and I thought I should help people out with a review. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Joy should not be anywhere near children, let alone teaching them. RUN, don't walk away from here with your kids. She lacks patience, kindness, and professionalism. She is skilled at swim instruction, I'll give her that- but NOT with children. She should be an adult instructor only. We had swim instruction with her for several weeks and she was VERY rude and harsh with the kids. We finally had the last straw when My son who was 4 years old at the time, (a Covid baby) and still learning to swim had a moment he has never forgotten. Joy YELLED at him and called him a "brat" when he made too big of a splash getting In the water, she made him get out of the water in front of his peers and stand there cold and crying while she made "an example" out of him. She told the other kids, "see if you misbehave like this boy, you don't get to swim." Thank God my husband stood up to her and told her how he felt as she just let my child cry on the steps. We never went back and didn't even bother asking for a refund as I knew we wouldn't get it.

Rocks or calcium (as Jim called it) holes are being made all over the bottom of my pool, coming up from the bottom. The sides are also making "lines" on the sides of the pool and the plaster is all discolored, like it was prior to the plaster job. I called Jim, he came out and was full of excuses. One excuse was "water got under the pool". I couldn't help but ask, "what, how does that happen", he answered, "we did get a lot of rain". OMG, it's a terrible plaster job, terrible paint job on the rocks and he's of course not taking responsibility. RUN

We now have 40-year-old pool that looks like something out of Architectural Digest - it's more than I ever imaged. The workers were great - on time every day. Jim O'Donnell, the Project Manager and key designer (at least with us) was on site everyday supervising and checking progress. Jim was always responsive with every phone call and text message. He was on time for every meeting. He is dedicated and engaged making sure I was completely understanding the project details and what was happening. I would recommend Crystal pools to anyone.

The entire construction process went so smoothly--it honestly couldn't have gone better. The only hiccup came from delays with the city's building department where they needed extra steel reinforcement, but Sunsplash handled everything with patience and kept us updated the whole time. Their quote came in a bit higher than some others we received, but looking back, I'm so glad we chose them. The peace of mind, the quality of the work, and the total lack of issues made it well worth it. You really get what you pay for. We love our new pool, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sunsplash to anyone looking to build or remodel. They truly care about the work they do and it shows.

After researching, you definitely want to check the water safety before coming, because it's coved it's prone to higher unsafe levels of bacteria. This week it was in the green and safe. My son has Autism and we decided to try this beach out because it was know for it's coved off location with no waves and it gets my stamp of approval for safety. The beach itself is also very small so if you have an eloper it gives a sense of relief as well. I did a 360 degree video to show you. I rated this beach 4 out of 5 because there's very limited parking and the beach is very small. During peak season or weekends it may be difficult to find parking and the beach area may fill up. Some positive things are, parking is FREE! The restroom and showers are located right at the entrance, and there's a life guard tower. If you're looking for a safe place to bring your kiddos for a day at the beach, check this place out. One other thing, make sure to pack plenty to drink and eat. There is nothing near by without driving.
