After the first lesson with Maggie (His instructor) there was immediate improvements with him in the water along with his confidence. Tatiana was kind and flexible with scheduling.

I always try to leave honest reviews based on my experiences, and unfortunately our experience at…read morethis swim school was disappointing. I hope sharing what happened helps other parents make an informed decision. My child was a complete beginner. After only his third swim lesson, one of the coaches loudly said, "He's everything but nowhere near ready." My child heard the comment. Whether the coach intended it that way or not, saying something like this loudly within earshot of a young beginner is discouraging and unprofessional. Beginners are there to learn, and feedback should be constructive, especially for young children. As the weeks went on, a different coach was assigned to my child, and things initially improved. Then, without much explanation, my child was moved up to the next level. I wasn't concerned about him advancing quickly. In fact, I would have been perfectly happy for him to stay at his current level longer. My priority is that he truly masters the skills required for each level before moving on. The promotion felt rushed, and no one clearly explained why he was ready. The communication afterward was equally disappointing. We were told by one swim manager to change to a different class time because of the level change. When we returned, another swim manager looked at the schedule and told us we were "supposed to be in the 12:30 class but didn't come and wanted to change the schedule," making it sound as though we had caused the problem, even though we were simply following the instructions given to us by their own staff. When I asked which coach my child would have, I was met with a sarcastic response: "You don't remember the last coach you were with?" This was a perfectly reasonable question because my child had just moved to a new level, and I knew coach assignments could change. What made this interaction especially disappointing was that the parent immediately before us had asked the same question and was answered politely and cheerfully. When I asked, I received a sarcastic response instead. The contrast in how we were treated was difficult to ignore and left me feeling unwelcome and disrespected. Things became even more uncomfortable when my child was initially assigned to one coach, who audibly sighed upon seeing the assignment. He was then reassigned twice before ultimately ending up with the same coach who had previously made the "nowhere near ready" comment. During that lesson, I watched closely because my child was visibly anxious. The coach seemed impatient and dismissive. At one point, he aggressively pulled up the sleeve of my child's rash guard instead of calmly helping him. My child would try to communicate, but the coach often seemed more focused on getting him to comply than listening to what he was trying to say. Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated observation. Throughout the program, I saw other coaches lose their patience with young children as well. I witnessed coaches speaking to children in irritated tones, yelling instructions while children were already crying, and continuing to push them instead of helping them calm down and regain confidence. I understand that teaching swimming requires firmness and that safety is the priority, but there is a significant difference between being firm and showing little empathy toward frightened beginners. Swimming is not just about teaching strokes. It's about building confidence and trust, especially for young children who may already be nervous in the water. Patience, encouragement, and kindness are just as important as technique. We completed the program because it had already been paid for, but this experience left us disappointed. We will not be returning and will be looking for a swim school where young beginners are treated with more patience, empathy, respect, and professionalism.

We had an amazing experience with the Swim Academy camp! My child looked forward to going every day…read moreand had so much fun. The camp offered a great variety of activities, including art projects, movie day, making melty bead creations and many more activities which kept the kids engaged both in and out of the pool. One of the best parts was that the camp included two swim lessons each week. My child made noticeable progress with their swimming skills and, more importantly, gained so much confidence in the water. The instructors were patient, encouraging, and created a positive environment where kids could learn while having fun. I highly recommend this camp to any family looking for a fun, well-rounded summer program that helps children build swimming skills and confidence. We'll definitely be back.

Updated: This swim…read moreschool has lots of improvement! Much better than last year. I appreciate that they're now more organized than before and responsive whenever we have questions. Thank you for listening to our concerns. ==================================== My kid has been in this swim school for almost a year. We like the coach but the administration is a joke. Every time I have a question regarding the class, the lady in the office cannot answer my question and always ask me to email Sean K (which I always do and I never get an answer as well). Few times I sent email to Sean K regarding my kid, he never replies. I don't know if he's that busy and don't have time or maybe my email went straight go to their junk mail inbox. They should have hired someone to be the admin. Help us the parents! Few times they switched the schedule due to filming. They only allow us to have make up only certain date that they provide. No excuse if we're unable to attend. I totally understand the policy BUT you know we have a life and other activities then swimming lesson. Canyon Aquatic cannot just switch the schedule whenever they like. They should give us option. If we can attend the suggested make up class, at least give us a refund. It's not like we're the one who can't attend the class. Parking is worst! We can only park in lot 8 which is far from the pool. They don't have decent bathroom for the kids to change. You know I notice most the young kids don't change because of no appropriate room for them. It's hard during Fall and Winter. It's too cold for the kids going home with wet swim suit. We have to change in the car. We stay here because we know Canyon Aquatic is a nice swimming school. But it would be nice to be more organized. I'll wait few more months to see, if it's still like this, I'm going to pull my kid out.

I don't know about Canyons Aquatic Club before 9/2025 but rehiring Coach Mike Bechtholdt to coach…read moreagain here was one of the best things that this Aquatic Club could have done. He really defends and protects the kids in Challenge 2 group. Swim practices reflect the degree of difficulty and rigor of the meets that the kids swim in. Coach Alyssa, who coaches the younger kids and does a really good job at it. Even the swim lessons taught by other coaches seem very hands on and technical. I see them talk to the kids and correct them. So if you start at Canyon for lessons, it'll prepare you for competitive swimming under Coach Kyle. Plus, Canyon helps its swimmers with swim scholarships. Something many people don't know about unless they stay and swim competitively up through high school. I highly recommend Canyon Aquatic Club w/o ANY reservations.

I don't think I've had a very good swim club/team around, but this proved to be an exception. I…read morethink I started swimming with them in 2010-11 while I was going to Cal State Northridge in the credential program to become a teacher. But, before I joined them, I had several years of experience in swimming. My speciality was long distance freestyle and the ocean is truly my home, but the pool is still a swell place to practice. Anyway, at first, one of the challenges for me was trying to understand the coach's expectations on the workouts. I then suggested a whiteboard so I'd just look at it and try to finish the tasks. But the coach signed a bit, which helped greatly. He even had his daughter to sign for me because she was fluent in ASL. What I loved about the coach was he was very patient. He never gave up on me, trying to push me to do my best. Whenever I was down or dismayed, he'd try to get me to keep my chin up. But he wasn't the only person on the team to encourage me to think positive and do the best I could. Others on the team were very supportive and encouraging. Some even tried a bit of sign. All knew that I was Deaf, but that didn't stop them from telling me to get my butt in the pool. It was a very spiritual team that valued what it means to be "family." This is why I said that I never had a good club/team around. I must've swam in five or six different places, but the San Fernando Valley TSTT, because of their loving support and dedication to the workouts, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, swimming in various races (and won quite a few ribbons and a tile (pictured) in my own age groups), all thanks to the coach and the team. I'm saddened to say that I'm no longer part of the team, but they will always hold a special place in my heart. I had to move to Los Angeles to be closer to work. If I had a car, I'd have come and visit as much as I could, but finances have been rather difficult in my end. I'd like to wrap up by sharing a swim picture that the coach took when I was doing a 50 fly at a race. What can I say... they sure made me look like a pro swimmer, that's for sure! ;-) Thank you, TSTT, for the wonderful memories. Hope one day I'll be back!
