I was a little hesitant about the location being at an LA Fitness but it has been easy to just head in, get to the pool, and do the lessons.

Definitely would recommend!

We had such a wonderful experience with Monica as my seven year old grandson's swim instructor. I…read morejust had to take a moment to recognize how exceptional she is. Monica is incredibly patient and intentional in the way she teaches. I could clearly see her introducing new skills step by step, making sure he understood, and encouraging him the entire time. What stood out most was how engaged he was. He was completely attentive, listening closely, and genuinely excited to try what she was teaching him. It is amazing to watch his confidence grow in the water, and I truly believe Monica deserves a lot of credit for that. She takes her time, communicates clearly, and creates an environment where kids feel safe and motivated to improve. If you are looking for a swim instructor who is skilled, patient, and truly invested in her students' progress, Monica is outstanding. We are so grateful for her!

We signed up our 4 1/2 year old for the 3 week bootcamp, and are amazed at our daughter's progress…read more Teacher Alex G was so incredibly patient, playful, and encouraging. Our daughter was initially extremely afraid and apprehensive getting used to her head under water. She cried bloody murder the entire first week. It was admittedly very difficult having to hear her scream the entire 15 minutes, but trust the process! Alex was so good with her and earned her trust. By the end of the second Monday, she got out of the water and exclaimed how much she loved swimming. I was shocked! Something just clicked. Not only did she get over her fear of having her head in the water, she loved it. She was able to roll, float on her back, and kick within the second week. She spent the third week refining skills and feeling more comfortable under water. We are so incredibly proud of the progress she's made in such a short amount of time. And while we feel so much better about the skills she's picked up, nothing can beat the confidence and resilience she's built along the way. Thanks, Teacher Alex!

The instructors are very nice and polite, and my son completed 13 lessons. I tried to keep him with…read morethe same coach for consistency, but unfortunately, that coach missed a few sessions. Because of the limited availability of other instructors, I had to switch him to whoever was available. At one point, my son--who I believe is at a Level 2--was paired with a child who was on their very first lesson. I feel children should be grouped with others at the same skill level, as this impacts both learning pace and overall progress. Each time we switched instructors, the new coach essentially had to start over to get familiar with my son, which felt like a waste of both time and money. At this point, he is still unable to swim. I've reached the point where I'm now looking elsewhere for a private instructor. If your goal is for your child to truly learn how to swim, that may be the better route. In my experience, these programs can feel more focused on keeping you enrolled rather than ensuring real progress. When it comes to a child's safety, consistency and instructor availability are critical--and that's where this program falls short.

Ms. Christina is my son's instructor and she is AMAZING! We wanted an instructor who had a mix of…read moresoft and hard instruction and Ms. Christina has both. She gives my son the space to be a little kid learning something hard, but also keeps challenging him to go further than he did in the last class. And my son can have his own days where he doesn't want to be there and follow instructions and Ms. Christina is in control enough to keep the instruction going even though tough days. Plus all the teachers there are so supportive. If a teacher doesn't have a student yet, they often cheer my son on when he's with Ms. Christina. Also, if ever Ms. Christina isn't available, we've developed some great relationships with other teachers like Ms. Mila, and so we never feel he has to start from scratch just because his main teacher isn't.

Lorrien, her Saturday coach, is extremely friendly and has a great attitude. He knows how to motivate the kids while keeping the lessons fun and engaging. If you have young children and are looking for a quality swim school, I highly recommend Big Blue Swimming School.

My daughter has been taking lessons from Big Blue for 2 months now and she has enjoyed herself…read more Big Blue is located in a giant shopping center, behind a Costco. Surrounding the school are restaurants (Greek, Tex Mex, Round Table, Buffalo Wild Wings) and other shops (Dollar Tree, Target). Parking is plenty so no problems there. The inside of the school is divided into sections. Half is the enclosed pool area with labeled lane numbers and benches for parents to sit and wait. Outside the enclosed pool are white chairs facing giant windows for parents and others to watch from outside. Behind the seats are changing rooms and restrooms as well as counters to handle incoming customers. Checking in happens about 5 minutes before the lesson. You just line up by the door and 5 minutes before a staff member checks you in and tells you your lane number. Once it's time to go in, you follow the path and find your number. It does get congested here and there since there are people exiting the pool as you're entering to find your lane. However, the process is simple. Instructors for each weekly lesson has been different. However, the last 3 sessions, my daughter has had Ethan. He makes her lessons fun. He jokes with her, is nice, friendly, encouraging and so patient. He's attentive during lessons and ensures that she always makes it to the other side of the pool either cheering her on or guiding her straight to the end. She's always happy when she sees him and she starts joking around with him. As the weeks go by, my husband and I have seems great progress with her abilities. She's able to kick or and stay afloat. She's able to make it back and forth with little assistance. Her confidence has exploded and she isn't hesitant about getting in the water and doing her laps without the floaties (done a few times). She's not there yet without it, but it's good to see that she will try. We are happy with what we have experience and what our daughter has experienced so far.

I informed him that "I was going to contact the City Council Member". He said, "So what, he's Mexican too". Now I swim at the YMCA in Lakewood only. It's really sad, I live in Long Beach and can't swim laps there because the music caters to Hispanics only. If you had a meeting in their conference room with all the other swimmers, you'd be surprised that I am not alone in this matter. There are a lot of White Americans, African Americans, and only a few Latino swimmers who swim from 6:00 - 7:00 a.m. This review is long overdue. I still have a lot of money on my Long Beach pool card, yet I prefer going to the YMCA at Lakewood.

If you're the type of parent that likes to stare at your phone while your kid pretends to learn how to swim from an "instructor" who has attitude this is your spot. Safe splash is probably accurate in its name. Nothing bearing even the slightest resemblance to an actual swim stroke is taught at this adults gym pool. Splashing and not drowning is all that I've seen. Get your kid in real swim lessons at an appropriate pool.
