5 Stars - An Exceptional Swim School with Outstanding Management…read more Our family has had a wonderful experience at Waterworks Swim School, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment you walk in, the facility is clean, well-maintained, and welcoming . The staff at the front desk are always friendly and accommodating, making scheduling and make-up lessons incredibly easy . What truly sets Waterworks apart, though, is the quality of the instruction. Our son, Connor, had made remarkable progress in his swimming skills and water safety. Their instructors are patient, skilled, and fantastic with kids, creating a fun and positive learning environment. Our son is now a high caliber club swimmer thanks to the instructors at Waterwokrs A huge part of our positive experience comes down to the management. The team, led by Steve, ensures the facility runs smoothly and efficiently. It's clear that he and the entire management staff care deeply about both the students and the parents. They foster a supportive atmosphere where excellent instructors are hired and empowered to do their best work, and they are always responsive to any questions or needs we have . If you are looking for a swim school that prioritizes progress, safety, and professionalism, look no further than Waterworks. Thank you, Steve, and the whole Waterworks team, for such a great experience!

Definitely recommend classes here and plan to enroll our younger kids at a later time too!

But this experience completely changed that. A huge part of that is thanks to Kelly, the owner. She is incredibly patient, calm, and intuitive as a coach. She meets you exactly where you are, never rushes the process, and somehow knows exactly how to help you push past fear without feeling overwhelmed. The environment is supportive, encouraging, and completely judgment-free--something that makes all the difference when you're learning as an adult. If you've ever been hesitant or afraid of the water, I can honestly say this place can help you overcome it. Exceptional facility, outstanding coaches. Grateful doesn't even begin to cover it. Highly recommend.

Coach Matthew is great! He is very patient with my son and always updates me with his progress. My son used to go at waterworks aquatics and I had to cancel his lessons there because he couldn't stand the smell of chlorine and he is a bit claustrophobic. Maki has a great environment. Their pool doesn't have a strong chlorine smell and I like how its not completely closed off. The tent is well ventilated and I like how they open the vinyl on hot days. My son feels comfortable and safe. Sandie has always been very helpful since my first interaction with her. She even offered a tour of the facility and a trial swim before we can commit. The location is very convenient. Only 5 minutes away from our house is a plus! Highly recommended

Unfortunately, constant coach changes meant our younger daughter never learned to swim despite two years of lessons -- every time progress was made, a new instructor reset the process. When we finally found a coach who worked for both girls, the school switched them without any discussion. When we raised concerns, the person running the school (Maggie) was dismissive and condescending rather than willing to listen. We also dealt with frequent last-minute cancellations (Sandy expecting immediate response last minute ). The coaches themselves were often great, but management's poor communication made it impossible to continue. Get all commitments in writing before enrolling.

When it came time to look for summer swimming lessons it was an easy choice for us to chose Brighton. The pool and the area around it was always clean. I was able to relax and enjoy watching my daughter swim. My son did not take lessons but was able to go with me and entertain himself with the tetherball and pin pong table while he waited. The lessons themselves were awesome too. We had a young man named Johnathon whom my daughter adored. He was so good for her. He right on target at picking up on my daughters abilities and needs of improvement during the first lesson. He was a great teacher and was also able to be playful in his lessons to make it more interesting. Crystal Kurotori was super friendly and informative too. Over all the entire crew was great. We would definitely return for and recommend the facility for lessons.

Not to mention my wife was able to get a barnacles class with the other moms from her New Mom School into one class for the babies.

He loves going every week and playing in the water and he's definitely gotten a lot more comfortable being in the pool. We've now been able to take him to our local cabana pool as well as a hotel pool and he's been great. I couldn't recommend the beginner swim class enough to get your kids comfortable with being in a pool.

My niece came for VC to San Jose and her and my daughter, we're going to workout together with my mom. Who is being a member for over 11 years as well as me. Today we paid the $25 for my nice to enter to workout. Lauren saw my daughter thinking she didn't have a membership and shows up to the family room telling my niece she needed to leave the facility and she cannot enter if either of her parents were not there. My mom was there with them. But because she is not her mom, she could not enter the facility. It is ridiculous. I asked to show me, where in their policy says, if mom or dad needs to be present in the facility?? so if is my niece I can invite her to the facility after paying??? Plus they did not allow her to sit on the lobby, she told her she had to leave, she should of had talked to my mom since she is the adult and not the girls. She is not professional at all. My niece ended up scared. I feel discriminated because they basically kick my niece off of the gym. I really need to speak to corporate about it. Also my niece was going to get her backpack from the family room and she didn't even want to allow her to go back for it. They did not show me in writing, where it says if you bring kids to this facilities, they need to be only the member. I asked Laureen to show me where in the policy says that but she didn't. Even her manager did not show me where it says that??

This review is for Silver Creek Swim school…read more My daughter started Spring session swim class and she has been assigned to new teacher every week. How is she supposed to build rapport and how is the new teacher going to know her level to continue from last class. When I spoke with the manager, they said the teacher is subject to change without notice. My daughter is a 5 year old and for her teacher to change every week, she's hasn't been progressing at all for the last 7 weeks. I've been asking them why her instructor is new every time and they won't give me a solid answer. At 5th week, they told me her teacher would be set for the coming weeks but yesterday the instructor changed again. It's such a waste of time and money. Hi- Brooke, I wasn't notified if the teacher left after the first session until last week. (6th week). Every time I asked the new teacher what's happening, they always said they don't know instead of notifying me what's really happening. If they notified me what's going to happen, I wouldn't be this frustrated. And I would have just receive the refund to stop class or change to a different date and time.
