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!

I mean, when I was a kid...I was happy to use any pool over the summer...but my kids have a choice of fantastic city owned pools. 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. I prefer Woodland Park pool simply because it's closer to my house and there's more shade, but Las Posas still earns 5 stars!

This swim club was the most awesome find for us this year! This swim club is based at the Palomar…read morecollege pool. My 6yr old son started with their summer individual swim lessons. 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.

I wish I had found Lori SO MUCH sooner. Our kids are 8,6&3.5 and all were not able to swim. Lori is…read moreso incredible with each one of them. She makes everything into a game & the kids are having so much fun when it's their turn. She is so incredible with the kids - she is fun & silly & also challenges them the perfect amount. They can't wait to come back & my 3.5 year old cries when we leave. As someone with a background in education, I can tell how much skill & experience she has (she has 50 yrs of teaching experience) in everything she does with them that looks so natural but she's doing everything for a specific reason to get them closer to being proficient swimmers. We had previously only done a local ISR 2 week class with our oldest when they were very little but it was very traumatic for me & I didn't want to go back. I'm so thankful they can learn now in such a fun & effective way! I'm telling all my friends -- run don't walk to these swim lessons!!

Lori is absolutely incredible! She is hands-down the best swim instructor we've ever had, and we've…read morehad many over the years. From the very first lesson, she taught important basic skills and built confidence in a way that was clear, patient, and encouraging. By the second lesson, we were amazed to see actual swimming! Lori has a wonderful way of connecting with my child while making her feel comfortable, capable, and excited to learn. Her teaching is effective, and the progress has been remarkable. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for an exceptional swim instructor! Thank you Lori!!

It's so much easier to get kids to a lesson that they are excited to go to and enjoy. After the first lesson, they couldn't stop asking when they could see their swim coach again and even asked if I could set up a play date with her ! Their swimming skills have vastly improved after only a couple of lessons and I'm more confident in their pool safety than ever before. Highly recommend!!

If you can pass a swim test and are 48" tall, there is a great water slide that is a part of the couple of bucks you'll spend on admission and you have access to the diving board.

But I committed to the 10 week program this past fall and within the first week I knew this was going to be worth my time and money!

I can't recommend them enough! I'm already looking forward to the short refreshers they offer closer to summer time! FYI the pools are heated and even if it's cold outside, the kids will not be freezing in the pools!

We relocated from San Francisco to San Diego and moved into a home with a pool, so making sure our kids were safe around water was one of my top priorities. I actually scheduled swim lessons for our daughter, Emmy, with Krista before we even moved here! Emmy started lessons when she was 2, continued again the next summer at 3, and this past summer our son Hayes joined in at just 1.5 years old. Krista has such a gift with young children -- she's patient (yet firm), calm, and knows exactly how to make them feel comfortable and confident in the water. We've seen incredible progress each summer. Both kids have not only learned essential water safety skills, but they also love being in the pool now. The peace of mind knowing my young children are safe around water is truly priceless, and it makes living in Southern California (and being around so much water) so much less stressful. Swim Synergy has been such a wonderful experience for our family, and we're already looking forward to lessons again next summer!
