My daughter loved all of the songs they used to incorporate the skills they were learning. My son loved that his coach encouraged him to do things that he thought he couldn't do only to gain confidence once he did it. As a parent I especially loved how the first skills they were taught were how to get out of the pool on their own. We look forward to continuing in the fall.

Anna at Hall Swim Academy is an excellent teacher…read more Two years ago, my son (who was 7 at the time) was going to another swim school and was doing ok but advancing slowly. As part of that school's safety training, they threw him in the water wearing street clothes. He was doing ok for about 30 seconds but then panicked and started to sink so one of the teachers had to jump in and pull him out. (It was partially my fault since I mistakenly had him wear long pants that absorbed water). Anyhow, he freaked out and got very scared. We continued to go to that school for several more weeks but he stagnated with his training and the teacher became frustrated and tried to push him too hard so he had a melt down. Fast forward two years, I started taking him to the Hall Swim Academy west LA location about 2 months ago and he started trying again to learn how to swim with Anna. Anna is extremely kind and patient with kids. She demonstrates what she wants him to do and corrects mistakes in his floating and swim strokes and has him repeat as necessary. She is able to recognize how much to push and when to give him more space and repeats instructions as necessary. He loves going to swim class with Anna and is motivated to learn so he can swim with his friends at summer camp. Yesterday, he had two major breakthroughs. He spent most of the class in the pool without wearing goggles which he previously refused to do. Then, on his own, he decided he wanted to try the swim test. So, he put on street clothes over his swim suit, jumped in the water, floated on his back for 20 seconds and then easily swam to the side of the pool and climbed out on his own. He was so proud of himself for overcoming his fear and is now looking forward to his next class with Anna. I am very grateful to Anna for her kindness, professionalism, excellent teaching skills and being such a good motivator. Thank you!!

His positive attitude and dedication really stand out. Thank you to the YMCA for supporting such passionate instructors!

I signed up Thursday night online, received confirmation online and 7:45am time slot to arrive. I phoned and spoke to informative and friendly Christian 8pm Thursday night.

She said " look at this one day pass that she pulled from her desk it says expires 06/01/2026. ". I replied " I didn't bring you a coupon one day pass..I signed up online and received confirmation etc etc... She held me up for close to half hour. Her coworker assisted her very quietly & after debating with her about 3 day pass validity I asked well can I use one day pass? She stalled and pretended it was Staceymca... Not cool.. I kept my cool as I really needed to use gym and report to work within 1 hr. I barely made it on time due to this person personal judgement on me. Sure she has turned down many.. All along she's faking her commitment to YMCA by saying hi to all members. Again why did you discriminate against me. Would you turn down your aunt, mom, cousin etc. She should be demoted to sanding rusty pissed lockers. Or clean toilets at night. Doesn't belong up front dissing the needy. Reflects bad on Manager Cyndi Oliva... Need more training...the right hand should talk to left hand. You can't greet Mrs.Kim like you need a free fortune cookie or free pedicure and say F Mr. Garcia or Mr Gomez etc.. This is LOS ANGELES .... Not staceyville..or lamenessville or braincrampville or brainfartville.... It is L O S Angeles ... Also looks bad on Rae Jin director who brags in her Linked in about her Customer Service Training and her vast abilities...

For us, this has been epitomized by our time with K&K Swimming. We began weekly swim lessons for our one-year-old twins months ago, and it's been one of the best decisions we've made for their early development. Coach Kai and Coach Kevin are nothing short of outstanding. They've demonstrated exceptional professionalism, a profound understanding of teaching swimming to young kids, and, most importantly, the ability to make our children feel utterly comfortable and safe in the pool. Their service extends beyond just providing swimming lessons. They customize their teaching techniques to cater to our twins' unique temperaments and growth stages, which shows how much they invest in understanding their students. These aren't just swimming lessons but rather a journey of self-discovery and confidence-building for our children. Another remarkable aspect of K&K Swimming is the convenience they provide. The fact that they come to our house for the lessons is a game-changer. No need for rushing or worrying about commute times, traffic, or the twins' comfort on long drives. They bring all the necessary equipment, maintain excellent hygiene standards, and have always been punctual and respectful of our space. In every lesson, the joy on our twins' faces is evident. Whether it's their first tentative paddle or the increasingly confident splashes, each week brings a new milestone, thanks to the patient and effective coaching by Kai and Kevin. Lastly, the personal rapport that Kai and Kevin have built with our family is invaluable. They're more than just swimming coaches to us now. They've become friends and trusted guides in our parenting journey, always eager to share their wealth of knowledge about children's swimming and overall development. In conclusion, K&K Swimming offers more than just a service; they provide an experience that fosters learning, confidence, and joy in the children they teach, while offering peace of mind to the parents. They are the epitome of excellence in their field, and we wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking to introduce their child to swimming. We look forward to continuing our weekly sessions and seeing our little ones blossom under their guidance. Thank you, K&K Swimming, for making these precious years even more special.

There's always plenty of parking, easy-to-access dressing rooms, a waiting area with toys, and a beautiful pool that's kept at the perfect temperature. As a parent, I especially appreciate that the pool is well shaded. My son is 3 years old and had no prior swim experience. After just one month of lessons, we went swimming over the weekend and I was amazed by his progress. He was confidently climbing in and out of the pool, treading water, blowing bubbles, and even jumping into the pool on his own. A month ago, he wouldn't even put a toe in the water! I truly can't say enough good things about Coach Jay's. The progress, confidence, and excitement my son has gained have been incredible to see. Worth every penny!

Over the last few months, I visited several times, and each time there was a young employee named Vardges who consistently went above and beyond. He was incredibly helpful, patient, and genuinely kind -- the sort of person who doesn't just do his job well but quietly elevates the entire atmosphere around him. What stood out most was the way he interacted with my young daughter. His patience and warmth toward her were sincere and unwavering, and that kind of care stays with a parent. It certainly stayed with me. People like Vardges make a real difference in their community, often without realizing it. I truly hope he gets the recognition he deserves. Thank you, Vardges, for setting such a wonderful example and for making every visit better than the last.
