Compared the the PS27 location, this pool is 10x nicer. A much larger space, a kiddie pool in the very back for baby swimmers, and a deep Olympic sized pool for the older kids. We'll probably be coming here more often in the future to take advantage of the nicer amenities.

I have, for years, wanted to take SCUBA classes. After kicking the idea around for a while I…read morestopped in at a few shops, some of which were clearly less-than-honest about the pricing. I asked a few friends, young and old, about their opinions, and the only shop to get high recommendations was Cedar Grove Divers Supply. So I stopped in the shop to talk. Let me be clear, scuba diving is not cheap. But it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. CGDS was up front about the cost, which was reasonable. Some places say they are cheaper, but then add "pool fees" and "certification fees." CGDS has awesome supplies in stock, and let me try out items before making the decision on what to buy. They include so much in their course, which doesn't begin to explain the experience of the instructor. The primary instructor, Doug, has been diving for longer that I have been alive. The wealth of knowledge provided during class, during open water dives, and during general discussion is unparalleled. Classes and certification dive days felt more like talking to friends than taking a class. I can't say enough about this family owned operation, and would recommend it to anyone. In fact, some of my own family members will be signing up soon. I will be back for more advanced training in the future!

Having lived in the neighborhood for a few years we were excited to explore the facility as a possible daycare option for our 5 month old. Even if it meant putting our names on the waitlist. Well, after submitting the online ELC interest form and calling a couple of times, with no response back, I decided to stroll down the block and inquire within. I didn't intend to tour right then but I was hoping to schedule a future tour, to be able to compare all my Essex county infant daycare picks & make an educated decision. I explained to Carol that I made many attempts to contact the Montclair YMCA Learning Center regarding their Infant program & never got a response. In my opinion, Carol was cold, and seemed uninterested in providing any information. She called Justine and informed her that I've not had anyone reach back out to me, then returned from the call to tell me that there's a wait list, that the wait is a year long and that unless it's close to the time for enrollment, I would not be allowed to tour. When I asked Carol about the weekly cost, she said she didn't know and didn't want to "bother" Justine and call again cause she's busy and has meetings. I think if I was a white woman Carol would have called her back immediately and would've been much more pleasant in her interaction with me. Whomever set up that process didn't think it through because now based on what Carol shared- I'd have to wait close to 1 year to view the facility, with zero clue as to how it looks or differentiates from other day care centers and with no concept of the cost. Why would I be interested in putting my name on a wait list when you've provided me zero info and you're saying that it'll take close to a year for you to share any info? Very poor experience here.

Found this company on groupon. Always wanted to learn how to swim so I decided to give it a try…read more Contacted them over the phone and received guidance on how to sign up for classes on their website that fitted my schedule. The process was very easy. The pool is clean and it gest lil crowded sometimes, but the intructor (Ivan) makes the experience very enjoyable. He makes sure all students are on the same page and actually goes student by student to check if they are learning properly. Was surprised to see he teaches inside of the water. I remember trying to take a swimming class in college and the instructor never got in the water to show the students how its done and we were all always lost and barely learned anything. Overall an amazing experience, I am so happy I found this gem on groupon. Every week he teaches a new technique and we get to practice what we learned already so we don't forget. Would definitely recommend to anyone that has struggled with swimming as an adult like I have. I can finally breathe while swimming!

Great teachers but the water is cold. I would go back but i think the closed for good since covid.read more
