The instructors--Regis, Azul, Valeria, and Crane--are all extremely patient. They taught me everything from basic floating to mastering the breaststroke. I used to be terrified of the deep end, but their guidance gave me the confidence to swim there completely fear-free. The facility itself is immaculate, featuring very clean showers with hot water. Both the trainers and the front desk staff are super friendly and helpful. Plus, their app makes it incredibly easy to view your schedule, reschedule, or cancel classes. If you are an adult looking to learn how to swim, this is absolutely the place to go!

Unfortunately, we have noticed that staff members, including one of our favorite instructors have left and are planning on leaving their employment at this location. I have learned that this is not because of the job itself, but because of the conduct and behavior of the owner whom I shall refer to as "B" "B" does not seem to value his staff in the way we, the customers, do. It is my understanding that he is often rude, dismissive, abrupt, and insensitive to staff. I have also learned that there is hardly a staff member at the school that has not been brought to tears by the words of 'B" I have personally observed some of his interactions with staff, and was horrified that they would be spoken to in the manner that he did. This type of business relies on their staff, specifically their teachers. Without them, there is no business. I am quite concerned that there will be a continued turnover, which will have a direct negative impact on the students at the school, including my son. I know that this is a family owned and operated business. I have great respect for the Callan family. Unfortunately "B" is risking their good reputation, and I truly hope someone in the family business can step in and change the course such that the staff be treated as they deserve. I know that many families, mine included, will follow our child's instructor if they should leave this location. This 5 star rating is only because of the employees.

First, they might pair your kid with another older kid (that already knows how to swim but spends more time with them) or extremely younger like a 1 year or younger (which requires more time and attention) and you split your 20 minutes, so you really get 10 minutes but they always end about 2-3 minutes early. You are responsible for your toddler when the teacher is teaching the other kid. They just leave the toddler on the steps and say it's your responsibility to watch them. My son almost fell off the steps, would have drowned. So be prepare to get into the water. They include in their contract that it's your responsibility even though you pay for them to teach. Or wait awhile for them to be done with the other kid. Second, they start on time and end it 2-3 minutes early, with a break after each go. So swim time is like 7-8 minutes. Older kids get more water time if paired up with them. They get to swim the whole pool while toddlers get like less than 1 minute. Third, they are extremely inflexible if you have to miss one class. You can't just reschedule with a set date, they make you call the day before to find any time available the next day only and it could be 10am or 5 pm, but who knows. I would imagine they have their schedules out already a week in advance! But no. The front lady is extremely difficult and hard headed regarding rescheduling. Also, I don't know if they have certain milestones for toddlers, but just teaching them to be comfortable in water. No like learning to hold your breath under water or floating or swimming to safety. Some teachers are better and spend more time with your kid, no consistency. What a waste of money and time for toddlers. Never coming back.

These swim lessons are taught by ICAC's most seasoned competitive swimmers. Each session is 2 weeks long, Mon- Thurs for 30 minutes of private instructions. The cost was $140 per each 2-week long session. My son loved these lessons from the very first. He was always fearful of water. I tried having him take group lessons before but he did not care for those. I am so glad we switched to ICAC. From not being able to swim even for 5 secs to completely swimming the length of an Olympic size pool took 6 weeks. After the end of the summer, he tried out and even made the swim team! He has been on the teal swim team (beginners) for about 2 months now. He is able to swim multiple laps (200m). They do all kinds of fun swim related activities during practice such as practicing their dives from the diving board and from the side of the pool. They play swim games with toys and pretend they are sharks and minnows. What a fantastic opportunity to gain confidence in his ability to swim. He is quite fearless now about being in the water and we owe it all to ICAC! Plus head coach and ICAC founder, Scott, is so nice and very dedicated. I see him all the time at the pool. The other coaches are the same.

Las Posas pool is smaller than Woodland Park pool- there's no diving board but it's heated and there is a fun splash pad. The shaded area is smaller than woodland park pool...something to keep in mind. The lifeguards are friendly and enforce rules.

It's truly incredible what she can do in 10 weeks. My daughter who was just under 3 when she started, is usually very shy and reserved with others. She's never opened up so quickly to anyone as she has to Ms. Nikki and within the first couple days, she was comfortable in her arms. Everything from the teaching model to the environment is so thoughtful and effective. I wanted something to teach my kids water safety without the tears and was thrilled to find Swim Synergy.

There's an ample number of cardio machines and just plenty of equipment overall, I didn't have to wait. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Every time I visited, the pool seemed to be open, which was a nice perk. One of the highlights for me is that this location still has racquetball and a great variety of punching bags. I really enjoyed working out here. They also have a separate dry sauna, which can be a deciding factor for some people when choosing a gym. Plus, there are plenty of food options within the same parking lot, making it super convenient for a post-workout bite or a quick meal.

I joined this LA Fitness after specifically asking whether the cardio TVs rotated among different…read morenews channels. I was told they included a mix of Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC. That mattered to me because I don't think a gym should feel politically one-sided. After joining, I found that wasn't true. The TVs are overwhelmingly tuned to Fox News. When I asked about it, a front desk employee acknowledged that it's essentially Fox all the time and said management wasn't interested in changing it. What makes it feel even stranger is that the only TV showing a different news network was the one in front of a single accessible cardio machine, which gave the impression that any alternative viewpoint was being treated as an exception rather than part of a balanced lineup. This gym serves a very diverse community. People of different political views, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds all come here for the same reason: to work out. A fitness center shouldn't feel like it's endorsing one political perspective when something as simple as rotating news channels is clearly possible. Or maybe just ditch the news altogether and replace it with travel, nature, or other neutral programming-- which wwould make the environment more welcoming for everyone. My biggest disappointment isn't which channel they choose. It's that I made my decision to join based on information that turned out not to be accurate. I hope management will reconsider and create a TV lineup that better reflects the diversity of its membership instead of presenting only one viewpoint.

I have been to many different types of swim lessons and this approach stands out from the rest. The lessons felt unrushed yet challenging for each child's age and abilities.

While swimming! Such a proud moment. All the while the whole experience was such a positive part of our day. Highly recommended

We are SO thankful for Krista and her incredible swim instructing skills. I honestly believe her…read moreinterventions are the one thing that has kept our daughter safe near water. Just some background... our daughter has thrown herself at water from birth. She would crawl toward the ocean as a tiny baby, repeatedly trying to get into pools whenever near. It was terrifying. So we got her in swim lessons as early as 6 months old, first at Waterworks and later at Noonan. By three, she could hold her breath, push from the wall, glide and float assisted, but ZERO SKILLS TO ACTUALLY SWIM and keep her head above water. The final straw was the day we watched as our daughter's hands slipped off the wall and she went under the water- little fingers reaching for the surface, literally drowning DURING A LESSON. The instructor had taken her eyes off for one minute, turning toward another student. It is so loud in these overcrowded indoor pools that she couldn't hear me screaming from across the pool "SHE'S DROWNING!!!!!! HELP! OMG!!!" Thankfully, my daughter had at least learned to hold her breath, which she did long enough for my husband to sprint across the length of the pool and fish her out- the instructor's mouth in awe. Imagine if we had been staring at our phones instead of watching her lesson like every other parent. It still makes me nauseous. Needless to say my kid learned to fear the water. What had once given her nothing but pleasure now made her scared and anxious. This is how we found Krista. She is absolutely unparalleled. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, the lessons are only 15 minutes. Yes, it's a weekly commitment. And YES, it's 150% worth it. The skills and confidence my daughter learned in just 2 weeks with Krista completely outshined the crappy instruction, oodles of money and time I spent dragging my kid to those other swim schools- for YEARS!! We have Krista to thank for so much more than just swim lessons- our daughter's confidence and happiness was restored and we can finally relax knowing she is safe near water.
