My review is based on the introductory swimming lessons for my five year old. There is a lot to like about the swimming lessons here. The facilities are excellent; lessons are held in the small heated pools perfect for little ones and changing/showers/bathrooms are in the O'Connell Center locker rooms. Class sizes are small and the instructors are very friendly.

They have concessions with junk food, soft drinks, beer, and wine. The list of offerings is too long to write in a review. Check out the website. There is nothing like this in north central Florida. Check the schedule for adult date night. That's right - drop your kid(s) off at the pool on select Fridays and they'll keep the kids entertained for the evening.

No complaints, really. I came here to both lap swim and to dive. For diving, they have two 1-meter…read moreboards and one 3-meter board. The lifeguards, though young, are very professional and good at their jobs plus prompt to answer any questions. There's ample room for lap swimming plus a children's shallow kiddie pool and another shallow area for people to just splash around if not lap swimming--plus the diving well. Some reviewers have commented on high school swim teams coming here to practice: apparently the deal is for some to come here, some to Westside, some go to UF as well. Until the School Board builds its own aquatics facility (unlikely), that will probably be how things go. (Whereas Jacksonville high schools in contrast have their own swimming pools on site in many cases.) School swim teams need places to practice, so this is a logical solution and I don't see it as impinging much on other patrons. Other reviewers (here and elsewhere) have complained some kids are loud and disrespectful: I did not experience that, yeah, kids can be loud but all I encountered were very polite. The locker rooms: the men's locker room is indeed old, probably original. I did not find it dirty however. Unlike the renovated Westside (Cherry) Pool, it actually has enough lockers to accommodate for two swim teams--or probably more. That's important if you're having meets here. I don't think Westside with its renovations provides that level of locker room space. So, as a diver and swimmer, no complaints here. Yeah, it's not a brand new nor renovated facility but clean and well-run: it meets my criteria certainly.

My experience with Sun Country has been horrible from start to finish…read more If you have a child with any kind of special needs, I would avoid this place. My daughter was not treated with respect, and they dismissed her immediately and assumed she needed to be in a toddler class as a 4 year old. No steps were taken to ensure she felt welcomed or to slowly acclimate her into the class. When I sent them an email entailing my experience but it was left completely unanswered. No one responded to the email or called me to discuss my experience. I had to call them to ask for a refund. They told me a refund would be granted, but instead of a refund they charged me again!! So now I have two charges on my bank account for $205 and I have over $400 tied up. I called to ask about what happened and the response was "I don't know why you were charged twice" Still no manager has called me to rectify this situation. I'm sorely disappointed with my experience.
