Avoid Midlothian Kids Academy at all costs…read more This daycare has extremely high staff turnover and poor supervision of the children. When my son moved to the two-year-old classroom, we were told they would help with potty training -- but within a week they began complaining about accidents and even suggested we bring in Pampers. It was clear they just didn't want to do their job. I refused, and ironically, my son's potty training improved right after that. The food they serve is subpar -- my son comes home hungry every day. Classrooms are often combined because they're short-staffed, creating chaos and disorganization. When incidents happen, they rarely communicate unless you call to ask what happened. One of the most concerning experiences was when my son came home with his face visibly swollen from crying. We were told he had a hard time going to sleep at nap time -- but we picked him up at 5 p.m., which means he was left crying unattended for an extended period of time. That's completely unacceptable and heartbreaking for any parent to hear. Worst of all, the director is dismissive and gaslights parents instead of being transparent or taking accountability. If you care about your child's safety, nutrition, and emotional well-being, run far away from this place.

This is a swim school where children age 4 months to 12 years learn the basics of water safety and swimming. AquaTots applies a pro-submersion philosophy to instruction, so children go underwater (as they will inevitably do if they fall unexpectedly into a pool or off a dock, etc) on day one and every lesson there after. Small class sizes (4-to-1) provide a manageable group for each child to get the personal touch their swim journey requires. Special Needs Aquatic Program, or "SNAP" also available at this location. Friendly, attentive staff, comprehensive swim curriculum, well maintained facility, and astonishing years of expertise in the field, is why AquaTots is the place to go.

Those outside the sport of swimming may have never given thought to what became of the Myrtha Pool…read moreused in the 2008 Olympic Swimming Trials in Omaha NE. This is a pool that garnered 9 world records just a head of the Bejing Olympics, where Michael Phelps got his historic 8 gold medals. Those outside the sport possibly never gave a thought that a pool could even be disassembled, trucked across the country and put back together again for competition. Let me assure you that community leaders in the Richmond area had a plan for this historic tub. A plan that would end up having an incredible price tag of 22 million. This facility would host world class swimming competitions and bring awareness to water safety in the Greater Richmond area. The pool's physical location would be in Chesterfield Co. in Ukrops Park. The naming rights would go to Collegiate School, a private school in Richmond acquired major funding for the venture. However, it is the Ukrop family who provided the major funding, and land that the CSAC would eventually set on to make this all a reality. The USA club team Poseidon Swimming host meets and practices out of the aquatic center. Poseidon with it's significant fund raising was considered serious player in making this dream come true for not only for Richmond, but for Virginia. The plan that had been agonized over a four year time frame became a reality March 13, 2012. This spectacular swimming facility boost an eight lane 50 meter pool which is the olympic trials structure. Not to be left out an 8 lane 25 yd warm up/cool down pool for competition and a warm therapy pool. Spectators are not left out in the 7,000 sq ft mezzanine that can hold up to 700 fans. Parking is plentiful all around the building. Even new exit ramps off the highway were installed to make it easy to access the CSAC. This aquatic facility is a shining example of a dream one community had to bring not only world class competition to Virginia, but also the awareness and importance of water safety. The presence and prestige of a pool of this stature is a tremendous economic boom for the Richmond area too. The GRAP Greater Richmond Aquatic Partnership manages the pool. Memberships are available to those in the community. Check out the pics of construction of this awesome pool at: http://www.poseidonswimming.com/SubTabGeneric.jsp?team=vsps&_stabid_=44645 If you are ever in this area and want to pop in to check it out a special tour can be provided, however calling ahead would be a recommended.

I'd have given 5 starts for the lack of interest in my complaint: Request the therapy pool (jets treadmill) guests wear headphones or buds instead of blasting their music. People yesterday all wore earplugs because one entitled woman insisted on playing her music. "We've gotten a lot of complaints about her" the desk said. Yet nothing is done. Just a simple request! I've never experienced such complete selfishness - yet they don't care and allow the space to be dominated by loud inconsiderate guests. Headphones are cheap. This person isn't autistic just a creep.

We took one class here and it completely traumatized her. It was not explained to us that Aqua Tots uses a "pro submersion" technique. On her first class, a stranger held her under water for 5 seconds. She screamed and cried. (Wouldn't you if a stranger held you under water?!) She told us for days that she didn't want to swim anymore. We returned to Goldfish and, after 3 weeks of warming up to it, she is back to loving the water (and goes under of her own free will.) She still tells us to this day that she doesn't want to see the "mean" teachers at Aqua Tots again. We reached out to Aqua Tots to see if this is their normal practice. They explained that it is. That's fine- we obviously do better with the teaching methods used at Goldfish. BUT they refused to issue a refund for the remaining months that I had pre-paid as all sales are final. Lesson learned: DO not pre-pay in advance until you give it a try. And (in my opinion) go to Goldfish instead.
