    We had Coach Lori come to our community pool for a few weeks this summer to teach our 5 year old…read moredaughter how to swim. She started off the summer refusing to put her head under water, and ended the summer not only putting her head under, but swimming in the deep end without floaties on. Lori made my daughter feel comfortable while also being firm in what she needed to do. I could tell right off the bat that she clearly has a ton of experience working with children. Lori also always arrived to the pool early which I greatly appreciated, and communicated scheduling over text which made things super easy. 5 stars!! We'll be using her again next summer!! Thanks Lori!!!

    We have had a wonderful experience with Coach Lori, who has been giving private swim lessons to my…read moretwo kids, 4.5 and 7, as well as myself! After only one lesson, my oldest and I were already swimming across the pool (albeit clumsily, but I was amazed!) and all of us had learned to back float for safety. Subsequent lessons have given us more confidence and skills to build on these basics. Coach Lori is an excellent teacher who has the ability to be instructive, give actionable feedback and build confidence. Moreover, she travels to us, which makes the whole experience incredibly convenient. Her prices are also very reasonable for private lessons--they cost as much as group lessons in NYC where we are from--with far better results in a much quicker time! We couldn't recommend her more.

    The instructors were very nice, but the admin side of this operation is HORRIBLE. Get ready to have…read moreno one answer your calls ever (even after leaving a voicemail). They only answer things by email, even "urgent" issues have to be emailed. After calling and leaving voicemails for three weeks, they only called back after an email was sent. Oh also, there's two SJAC facilities within 5 miles of each other, so be sure you choose the correct one. Very upset at this whole experience.

    We arrived at 11:30 sharp and checked in. He told us he didn't know which instructor we were…read moreassigned and which lane we were in so just sit tight and someone will call her name. He admitted he all he did was check people in and knew nothing else. We sat directly next to the front desk at the stools closest to the pool for 15 minutes without hearing her name called. I figured "maybe they are running behind" I asked again and this time the front desk guy states she should have been with Gianna Papa. I thought to myself "Why was this information not provided originally???" He pointed out Gianna and I walked over to ask if she had called the 11:30 appointments yet. By this time it was approximately 11:50/11:55. Gianna said she called my daughter's name "twice" and no one answered so she just moved on to her other 2 students. She blamed us saying " the other girls heard their names called " meaning we weren't paying attention. Gianna then called Alek Combs over who continued to blame us stating "Gianna called her name" and "why did we wait so long to ask about our lessons if we were just sitting here?" Gianna and Alek lacked professionalism and blamed us. They took zero responsibility for running their shifts and their lack of accountability for their students. I have no faith in their abilities as instructors/coaches/ temporary guardians of my daughter while she would be under supervision in the pool. As me and Alek continued back and forth, Gianna stood there and watched. She was NOT watching the two other girls who were under her care. Because of this, their father got upset by the situation as well, which he rightfully should have. But instead of directing his frustration towards Gianna and Alek he decided to direct to me which escalated the situation further. I chose to be the only responsible individual and I removed Alek from Gianna and the pool to speak with him and access the management email address. Alek was tone deaf to the entire situation not realizing he had been blaming me and a 5 year old girl standing there waiting to swim. Alek offered to give her lessons in 30 mins to then make up for everything but as we sat they're waiting for that additional time he realized he had another appointment cancelled on us and wasted our time even further. End summary: We showed up on time, sat around for and hour, got blamed for not speaking up or listening, my daughter cried and I almost had an altercation with another parent. We wouldn't consider returning based on the fact that the instructors feel that they addressed it properly. We don't feel confident their attitude would change. There is no clear document given to a new student stating what is needed and how the classes work. No one told anyone, my wife or mother, that an instructor would be shouting from across a noisy pool at a 5 year old little girl. Wouldn't you think it would be beneficial to make sure all children heard their name by WALKING up to the front desk to make sure.This wasn't a class of 30 kids... it was 3 kids total. Not hard to make sure everyone was there. Ridiculous. The sheer attitude and response from the instructors is deplorable and in front of small children of all things. This isn't how you treat customers. Gianna and Alek were responsible for my daughters sadness and my frustration. We will expect a full refund.
