Only reason I kept my child here is so she can socialize. So far coaches have a different approach…read more We do not mind since we are not pushing our 2 years old for anything but have fun with her age group. But when she fell last week and the coach did not even bother to check on her was funny to say the least. It was a hard cry and she wont move her right arm. She was so guarded and wont stop crying the whole place can hear it. We decided to just go with our instinct and took her to ER where they diagnosed her with right elbow fracture. Yes it is not their responsibility. But in this kind of space, IMO coach should be train to evaluate situation and guide parents. Heck! I am not even expecting first aid but to at least evaluate situation lol All we got was a generic email that she will be missed and that they understand life gets busy and that they offer other classes. And pay extra 139$ once life not that busy anymore that we reenroll Lmao Of course! We had to hold off their auto monthly enrollment since we do not have an idea about how she would recuperate! Ortho peds soonest appointment is tomorrow, so a temporary splint is on. I was not gonna say anything , until i saw their email! That just blow me off! This place suddenly just feels like a joke!

I've never had an issue with American kids until just now. I have two of my kids in swim class…read moreright now and for the first time I forgot to pack towels. There wasn't enough time to drive home during class time to get them so I kindly asked the front desk if they by chance allow me to borrow one. They obviously have some for the employees here. The lady said "you can buy some" and pointed at the shelf where they were located. I'm sorry, but I find this inconsiderate. How can owners/managers not train employees to empathize with a parent in a situation like this. Especially when it's 50 degrees outside and even more when paying the money that is spent for tuition.

I think it's great because it gets so hot in Bakersfield in the summer time and it's a great family place for everyone. With the swimming pools and the waterslides, it's just a blast to be there. I hope everybody's enjoying it. Also there is the skating rink right next door and around the corner a movie theater, so there is so much to do. Love it and highly recommend it.

Last year we signed up my toddler and his teacher was really nice! They have a nice area for…read moreparents to sit and watch. I also took adult lessons in August of last year and May of this year. I had Ron and Kayla, who were both amazing to work with. Day 1 last year I was scared to even walk in the shallow end (3 ft deep lol). By my last lesson I was able to swim across the pool doing freestyle and jump into the deep end! I didn't learn to swim as a child, but I'm so glad I made the investment to learn as an adult. Their prices are very reasonable. I was able to do two sessions which were 12 one hour classes. I went from being afraid at the thought of being anywhere near the deep end of the pool to being comfortable when my feet no longer touch the bottom of the pool. Just last week I was able to swim two laps (50 yards) which I know isn't a lot, but it's a huge achievement for me. They gave me confidence I was lacking when it came to being near water. Highly recommend!
