If I could give 5 Cities Swim School six stars, I would…read more I've been in aquatics most of my life as a lifeguard and trainer, so I know exactly what goes on "behind the curtain" of a swim program. Many schools provide lessons; 5 Cities provides an elite aquatic foundation. Watching the new ownership evolve this program has been incredible. They've managed to blend high-level technical instruction with a "safety-first" mentality that is unmatched on the Central Coast. The themed classes are brilliant--they keep my kids engaged while secretly building life-saving habits into every drill. The fact that we travel 25 minutes past other options to get here should tell you everything you need to know. My 5-year-old's progress has exceeded every expectation I had as a professional. With an indoor pool for year-round training and a staff that is clearly vetted for both skill and safety, this is the gold standard. Stop looking at other schools. This is the one.

Excellent indoor swimming classes and location! Super friendly and amazing instructors!…read more We wanted to send our toddler to swimming school for a little while now. However, with the weather on the central coast, we didn't want to send him to an outdoor swimming school. I was so excited when I came across an ad on instagram from 5 Cities Swim School. The indoor heated pool was definitely the determination factor for us. The clean facility and amazing instructors sealed the deal! Nick reached out to me quickly almost as soon as I filled out the information online. I was a little disappointed to find out they didn't have the exact day and time for the class that I was hoping to get our kid in. However, I realized after the 1st week, unless you want your kiddo to have the same instructor every week, it actually doesn't matter what class they're enrolled in. You can always mark them absence and easily request a makeup class for the day and time that work for you. With our crazy rotating schedules and our toddler's starting pre-K soon after he started coming here, we pretty much had a different class and instructor every week. Fortunately, all the instructors follow the same class routine, so our toddler still got to learn and progress quickly even tho he has never gone to the same class more than 2 times lol. The instructors to students ratio here is pretty high, which makes us feel at ease knowing our kid would be safe here. Even for the lowest level that requires at least 1 parent/adult to be in the water with the kiddo, the ratio is still only 1 to 6. I can't say enough good things about this place. If you don't live too far from here and want to look for a great swimming school for your child/children, I highly recommend 5 Cities Swim School!

The Center serves all boys and girls in grades 7 through 12 (12 to 17 years old).

We recently switched our daughter from Pacific Flips because we felt like we weren't a priority…read moresince we were not interested in competing! After attending for a year and nobody ever introducing themselves to us or even giving us updates on our daughter's progress we decided we'd give KTs a try before giving up... I'm so happy we made the switch as our experience here has been the complete opposite of Pacific Flips! Immediately upon signing up I felt like the entire staff has made effort to build a relationship with our daughter as with us as well! It's nice being greeted by name and getting updates after each class. The coaches all are passionate about what they do and you can tell by the way the interact with the kids. I love seeing my daughter challenged to learn new skills in a supportive and nurturing environment! My poor girl had been trying to learn how to do a cartwheel for the whole year at PF without any success, however after a week of being at KTs she was able to do it! The only thing different they did was get out this little mat that shows where to place her feet and hands and gave her praise and encouragement and boom she was doing cartwheels! The smile on her face was priceless! We've also had to switch days due to our schedule changing for the fall and they've been extremely flexible and accommodating! I really can't say enough good things about KTs! I'm so happy we made the move!

Been getting more and more upset with this place…read more When you first sign up you have to pay 35$ for shorts. We been going for a over a year and still haven't received any shorts. The teachers usually don't help the kids in the open area. I been watching for the past 5 classes and they don't assist kids that can't do bridges during warmups, and don't correct the stretches. Some teachers are better than others. The tall blonde teacher has always been kind, sweet and patient with the kids. There is a red headed teacher who is patient, and a male teacher with a beard who seems to know what he is doing. The other teachers have been seemingly ignore kids who are scared and shy, ignoring kids who are not exhibiting the proper technique [injury risk], and texting on their phone. This is all happening in the open viewing area. I have been recording times of class start time and end time. Typically they start on time at 4:00pm, but consist about 20 minutes of warm ups, and then the class and kids will be sitting ready to leave approximately 4:40pm. [The recorded times and assessment comes from the previous 5x classes] I want to like this place more, but some teachers are lazy and infuriating to watch. I have been taking more and more pictures and videos, time snaps, and notes if more information is needed.

We went once during our stay and took advantage of the circuit and cardio machines. We would have liked to do more, but the classes didn't fit into our schedule.

Barkin Park has both street parking and a small unpaved lot at the base of the hill. There's a part fenced off for small/shy dogs and a larger fenced section for the bigger ones. Both have ample amounts of room to let the dogs run and shade. As far as dog parks go (and I've been to quite a few) I'd rate this one above average. Each side had plenty of water stations, there wasn't any trash laying around, and pet waste wasn't visible anywhere. On the Saturday afternoon I visited it wasn't crowded at all. In fact, everyone but me and the two monsters I had with me happened to be on the small dog side. If I'm ever in the area again with a dog I'd definitely come back.

Then I noticed they didn't have coffee & conversation in the morning, no consistency in a exercise classes, slowly taking things away. I discovered the senior center buidling was sold to Department of Recreation & Parks. Some of the Activities were taken away like Line dancing is now at the Able Maldonado building with a fee. Then the SeniorCenter had a afternoon exercise class for 18-49..nobody over 50 is allowed to take the class!!! The senior center is now saying it's open in the late afternoon for 18 & over but you can't take the class if you over 50 ! What? Some activities are P&R's the other activities for instance travel is still at the Elwin Senior Center. I know it's confusing!! A lot of cut backs in the past few years. Even the lobby is like a ghost lobby they moved all the couches & chairs we use to sit on out of the way. Receptionist would say hello but now it's crickets!! Rumors has it's they rent it out for parties$$$$. So I guess seniors don't count but the grants for the teens are a priority. Very disappointed!
