ASA has been flexible and accommodating with scheduling and makeups when illness and other issues inevitably arise. We love the small class sizes and open changing rooms. Shout out to Archana for all her help! Pro tip: if you choose earlier/odd times that no one wants, you can often end up with 1-on-1 lessons. Ask the rep how many kids are enrolled when signing up. If no times available, sometimes they will open a new spot.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at American Swim Academy. My daughter has been…read moreattending for three years, and what has become an ongoing concern is the constant change in staffing and the resulting inconsistency in coaching. When instructors frequently change, there seems to be very little continuity or understanding of where a child stands, what they have already mastered, and what they specifically need to work on next. My daughter has now been at essentially the same point for about two quarters, and I have seen very little effort to identify what is holding her back or provide the focused coaching she needs to progress. What was even more disappointing was my interaction with the manager. I approached him hoping to discuss my concerns about a particular lesson. Before I could even fully explain what I had observed, his immediate response was, "Oh, that one is our best instructor." Whether an instructor is considered one of the best was not the point of my concern. My concern was what was actually happening during my daughter's lesson. The instructor appeared unable to give adequate attention to three children in the class, and I observed very little instruction, correction, or specific guidance being given to my daughter to help her improve. As a parent, I wasn't looking for the manager to defend or criticize an instructor. I was looking for him to listen, understand the concern, and offer a solution. Unfortunately, I walked away without any resolution, follow-up, or offer of help. After three years of loyalty, this is incredibly frustrating. Parents bring their children to swim lessons expecting more than supervision in the pool. We expect active coaching, feedback, consistency, and measurable development. I sincerely hope American Swim Academy takes concerns like these seriously and focuses on better continuity between instructors, individualized coaching, and stronger accountability for each child's progress. Most importantly, when a parent raises a genuine concern, I hope management takes the time to listen before dismissing it.

Community pool in Pleasanton - our daughter took two weeks of swimming lessons here earlier this…read moresummer. Instructors were good but weren't able to pay as much attention as we would have liked because there were a lot of students and classes were 45 minutes each from Monday through Friday. Nevertheless, by the end of the two weeks, she was competent in freestyle, butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke and sidestroke! And that has made us parents a lot more comfortable sending her to pool parties. Strongly recommend this if you have a child or adult learning to swim.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Coach Coby at American Swim Academy in Livermore. He…read morehas been coaching our son, Luca, in private swim lessons for about a year now, and we couldn't be happier with his progress. When Luca first started, he was very hesitant about going underwater. Coby immediately put him at ease with his calm, patient, and encouraging approach. He found creative ways to make each lesson fun(i.e. singing Luca's favorite songs), and helping Luca build confidence at his own pace. We also want to recognize the entire team at American Swim Academy in Livermore. Every staff member we've interacted with has been exceptionally kind, welcoming, and professional. From the front desk to the instructors, everyone goes above and beyond to create a positive experience for both the kids and their families. If you're considering swim lessons, American Swim Academy in Livermore is an outstanding place to go!

A) they say that the uniforms will be delivered two weeks after of submitting the order and will be delivered to their coach with two or three weeks after, to my surprise I was contacted by email three weeks after of sending the order of the swimming uniforms to confirm my daughter sizes, saying that after that it would takes another three to four more weeks for them to submit the order to be delivered. For the amount of money we pay: how is that possible they cannot provide at least one swim cap while the kids wait for their uniforms kit be delivered ??? B) that the children cannot leave until they have covered the pool which I do not see as bad, but to my surprise in one occasion I could see that only one child was trying to do alone while the other classmates were only talking and playing with each other and the coach was just watching sitting with his hands inside his pockets (man) which is very difficult and unfair to me because they have to leave much later than normal. And so I could list many other things that should not happen because it is supposed to be a serious place and less for the amount of money that as parents we have to pay but we do it because we believe that they will provide us with a fair space for the development and learning of our children.

Severe Safety Hazard - Poor Maintenance on Tennis Court Nets…read more The maintenance of the indoor tennis court side nets at Bay Club Pleasanton is unacceptable and poses a major safety risk to players. The side divider nets have multiple large tears and holes. When running down wide-angle shots, players run the risk of getting hands, racquets, or feet snagged. Tonight around 7:36 PM on Court 5, my shoe got caught in one of these holes while I was moving near the side net. I lost my balance and fell hard, scraping my arm and hand while my shoe remained stuck in the net. Just last week, I witnessed another player catch their hand in a separate hole in the net and end up bleeding. Additionally, the heavy black bottom edging of the nets drags loosely on the court surface, creating an extra tripping and slipping hazard. Management urgently needs to repair or replace these divider nets before someone suffers a more severe injury. I am attaching photos showing the exact holes and hazards mentioned.

I have been to the wave many times, Jocelyn L. The staff there are young people and it is a really…read morenice facility. Like you Jocelyn, I am a very proud Hispanic. My kids had a great time. A couple of suggestions. Read the rules. It is clear that outside food or drink are not allowed. Neither are street clothes, as they are a safety hazard in public or shared pools. If people sneak stuff in without the staff knowing, then that is on them. I have seen people be asked to leave for sneaking alcohol in. I have never seen the staff there demand anyone throw anything away. They offer to let you walk it back to your car. Again, had you read the rules, you would have known this. In order to keep facilities like these affordable, the rules must be enforced. The insurance rates will sky rocket when there are claims because someone got hurt by a drunk patron. I used to work in Government, and this is the case with all facilities. Also, the wave has a lot of young people working there in their first job. They are learning how to work and be adults, show them some kindness. Lastly, please take an English class. As a Hispanic, I have worked hard to overcome people's negative viewpoints about us being uneducated and ignorant. Your review doesn't help in that regard.

There's a moment that happens almost every day we spend at this pool. I look up from my chair and…read moresee my kids, ages 7 and 9, completely absorbed in something simple: a game of tetherball, having lunch in the sun, playing "marco polo". No screens. No "I'm bored." Just kids being kids. That's what this place gives you, and it's why I can't recommend it enough. First, the practical magic: it's never crowded. You can actually find a chair, the kids can actually swim without bumping into anyone. But what really sets it apart is the people. This isn't just a pool, it's a community. Families share their pool toys, kids fold new friends into their games within minutes. Everyone is genuinely kind and welcoming, and you feel it the moment you walk through the gate. We can spend the whole day there if we have time, and several of my kids' friends usually join. They swim, they eat lunch on the grass, they climb the trees, they play volleyball and tetherball until they're pleasantly worn out. It brings you back to a simpler time, when childhood didn't need to be complicated. Just a pool, some open space, a few outdoor games, and their imaginations take it from there. It's my kids' favorite place in the summer, and watching them this happy and content is worth everything. What also gives me confidence as a member is how seriously the club takes reinvesting in the experience. This year they're upgrading the bathrooms and the pool decking, and there's more already in the works. It's clearly a members-first operation; they're always looking ahead at how to make it better for the families who call it home. This membership has given my kids a place to be free, active, and genuinely joyful, and it's given our family a community we didn't know we were missing.
