I almost don't want to write this review, because I want to keep the gem of an instructor, Isabella…read moreK., at this location a secret. Six months seems like a good time to really attest to the quality of swim lessons my sister has with Isabella, her swim instructor. We went in hoping with all our might that my sister would be paired with a good instructor who has experience with individuals with special needs. At the beginning, I tried to find reviews on specific instructors and times that worked best, and ultimately, with sheer dumb luck, we chose Isabella. That decision has been a very fortunate luck of the draw for my sister to have Isabella for her instructor. We had very low expectations for my sister's goal in learning to swim. However, with Isabella's guidance, care, compassion, and immense patience, my sister's progress has exceeded our expectations. Isabella is a wonderful instructor who embodies warmth, positivity, and is firm even when she brings on new challenges for growth, which is perfect for my sister. With her compassion and kindness, Isabella has managed to make major progress with my sister to allow swimming goggles to be placed over her eyes. For nearly all her life, my sister has hated being submerged under water, goggles over her eyes, or anything over her face, but Isabella has been able to change that and help my sister grow in less than a year. Isabella is efficient and effective as a swim instructor. Isabella offers a safe and welcoming space for her students, including and especially those with special needs. Waterworks Aquatics is lucky to have such a great instructor as Isabella K., whose technical skills are just as wonderful as her care and empathetic nature to her students and the family she works with. She deserves to be recognized for her work, kindness, and patience. I do want to mention, this location is a heated pool facility, with a separate play look, is kept clean overall, and the bathrooms are decent in cleanliness. Parking also usually isn't an issue. My only complaint, and this is regarding the application/portal, is that often from my use, it has glitched where I can't always find the specific instructor. I've had to screen cap and send this over so the company can work with IT but it has happened a few times now. This is more of a technical critique and not related at all to the instructor nor facility.

My 5 year old went from complaining about going to swim class and being afraid to put his face in the water to now being able to swim across the pool with confidence and actually looking forward to his swim lessons. My 4 year old is also thriving and just kinda caught on quicker than his older brother. Would highly recommend this place. We love Mirna; all of the instructors here seem very nice and professional.

This summer we found Jump Start and had Chloe as his instructor. He only completed 6 lessons - but she helped him so much! He went from being scared in a pool to going to Palm Springs this past weekend and being able to jump in the water alone, swim to safety, and play for hours on end in the water. It was absolutely INCREDIBLE to watch as his mom. Thank you so much, Chloe!! It's always hard to tell if the lessons will translate into the real world, and they truly did... we will be back next summer!

This is our 5th summer with Jump Start Swimming and we are definitely coming back next year! We…read morehave spent the last three summers taking lessons with Ms. Madison who has been very effective in helping my three children become more confident swimmers. My 10 year old and 8 year old were in semi-private lessons together and Ms. Maddie handled them well. My youngest, now 6 years old, can sometimes be a little stubborn but she complied during private lessons with Ms. Madison Le and Ms. Sofia Fex. Thank you both for making swim lessons fun for my children =) I'd also like to mention that Jump Start Swimming offers lessons to individuals with special needs. Overall, I recommend this business to anyone looking for affordable, 30 minute swim lessons during the summer months. See you next year!

My kids have been in Splashball (beginner water polo) for a few seasons and it has been an…read moreincredible experience for our family. As long as your child can swim independently and are familiar with a few different swim strokes, they are allowed to join. I have found these classes to be a great way to strengthen their swimming skills and getting them used to drills in the water. Beginner classes are 1 hour long on T/Th from 5-6pm and your kid will get a great workout! They also learn how to move their legs to swim in place, how to swim holding the ball, pass the ball, score and block. When they have enough skill they can move on to the next level, which is M/T/Th from 5-6:30pm. My son has loved this year-round team; even in the winter he is excited to show up. From my observations, these swim sports help children develop some serious grit; rain or shine, they go in the water ready to practice. The coaches have been great too (shout out to coach Jake! And the others too, I just haven't learned their names). They RARELY cancel practice, unless there are thunderstorms. And the absolute best part of this club: canceling/starting a subscription is SUPER easy. As long as you give them notice in a timely manner, they just pause/restart your subscription without penalties or tricks like a lot of other places do. I highly recommend!

Coach Mark is an outstanding swim instructor with a longstanding, exceptional background in instructional aquatics, both in the pool and the ocean.

Update: After…read moreposting this review, we did finally receive a voicemail from management apologizing for the experience and acknowledging the communication breakdown. While I appreciate the outreach, it came after more than five weeks of repeated requests made both in person and by phone. During that time, we were consistently told that someone would contact us, yet no one ever did. Unfortunately, by the time management reached out, we had already made the decision to cancel our membership and move on. We have since found a private certified swim instructor who is able to provide one-on-one instruction at half the cost of what we were planning on paying with Big Blue . More importantly, the communication was immediate, straightforward, and responsive. This review was never about whether private lessons were available. It was about customer service, follow-through, and communication. Had someone simply returned one of our many requests with an honest update, we likely would have remained customers. I genuinely appreciate the instructors who worked with our son over the past two+ years and wish them the best. However, the lack of responsiveness from management ultimately led us to take our business elsewhere.

Coach Leo has been fantastic with our 3 year old son. We have seen so much progress in his abilities to swim. More importantly, to me, my son is so excited to go to swim lessons. Coach Leo is warm, encouraging, patient, and caring. He always wraps up the lesson with a summary of what was worked on and what is to come in the future. He is a wonderful addition to the Watersafe team. We will always be thankful for the invaluable lessons he's teaching our son. Can't say enough about how clean the facility is - staff is constantly keeping things clean and organized. Alex is the person we see most and he is just always so polite and attentive. Love the front staff who are present most of the time we go - Corina, Mikaila, Gaby, and Montana. You all give this place such a welcoming and family vibe.

I wrote a review a few years ago but wanted to give a shout out to ms Ginny!…read more I have nothing but amazing things to say about watersafe!!! We have had an incredible experience doing the fast track with ms Ginny. It is everyday mon-thurs for 1 month. My almost 5 year old son has done 5 months of fast track and my 2 year old is on her 3rd month. Their progress has been amazing. Ginny is a true gift and a one of a kind teacher. Water safety is really important to us and watching how much both my kids progressed in such a short amount of time has been remarkable, if you can get into fast track with Ginny it is so worth it. Both of my kids absolutely adore her and she really goes above be and beyond!! Also wanted to note the front desk staff is always willing to help and is friendly, texting them is so easy! I love being greeted with smiles! And the maintenance staff does a great job keeping the facility clean. They are constantly cleaning and do a great job! Thank you watersafe! A++++

It…read morewas much more expensive and my 4 year old daughter was not getting adequate instruction to progress in her swimming. Thank goodness we found swim lessons at GWC! The pricing is reasonable, especially since it's thirty minute sessions versus only 20 mins at other spots. When my daughter transitioned from the other spot, we just wanted her to enjoy swimming and being in the water. The teacher she had last year (Daniella) gave her the confidence she lost during at the other school. This year, I signed her up for all four sessions as soon as I was able to! During our first session, at the minnow level, we met Dannie, who was amazing!! She is kind and patient, and very encouraging. I took my daughter to wild rivers after the first week/session and it was great seeing how confident my daughter was in the water, and seeing her apply what she learned. My daughter is now in her second session and has expressed she wants to request for Dannie in her third session starting next week! As a testament to GWC and Dannie, I posted videos of my daughter on my social media page each day of that first session with Dannie. Because of the visual evidence of my daughter's growth in just one week with Dannie, three families we know have signed up with GWC for the remaining sessions! I highly recommend trying GWC SWIM this summer!!
