Jeff and his instructors are incredibly professional, knowledgeable and experienced. Anyone who owns a gun and hasn't been to some training absolutely needs to take his classes. For beginners you can literally show up with a brand new gun still in the box and they'll walk you through everything in his Handgun 101 class. For experienced shooters, look at Advanced Handgun, and Carbine classes. I've shot at training courses in CA, NV and here in north TX and Kranz is among the best. Friendly, has great expertise to pass along and you're absolutely walking away more experienced and ready.

The biggest reason for our switch was availability and the fact that it is simply a month-to-month commitment. Another big plus is that if my child exceeds the expectations of a particular level they can be moved up during the month, they aren't stuck for a season. The facilities are large and very clean. I really enjoy the large viewing space the parents have to choose from - either pool side or in the air conditioning behind the wall-to-wall glass. The plentiful changing rooms are a bonus as are the showers. The staff has always been very welcoming and kind to myself and our kids and are quick to greet new families. There have been a handful of occasions where they've had fun activities for non-swimming siblings to partake in while lessons are going to the swimming sibling. I really appreciate the child-to-swim coach ratio and how organized the entire operation is. My only hesitation to give five stars is the availability of classes before 5pm. The earliest lessons available M-F are at 3:30pm and lessons are every 30minutes after that (4pm, 4:30pm, etc). Once your child moves up to a certain skill level available times get later, like 5pm or after. Our son moved up a level during the summer and originally there were no M-F time slots available at all and when one did open up it was at 6 or 6:30pm which is dinnertime for our family. Our son was in his last month of swim classes so we opted to have him just stay in the same level instead of graduating up, but it was disappointing. I have referred friends to Big Blue and will continue to do so. It really is a great swim school and I am grateful we had such a good experience with them over the last year.

Each child has his or her progress card that the instructor marks on, indicating certain goals that the teacher makes sure the student is progressing each lesson. This location had lessons in the morning and early afternoon, not just after school times, so we were able to get in a class that met our scheduling needs better AND was not with the after school crowd. And finally, you can cancel your lesson even a minute prior to the start time and receive a makeup lesson credit that you can use ANYtime! You don't have to wait for the "once a month on Fridays only" makeup lesson that I have had at other places. Aquatots Murphy is a keeper!

As a volunteer, the staff treats you with respect and like you're a family member-after all, the program only survives on volunteers for classes to assist the instructor in each class. Ellie is the volunteer coordinator and she is so easy to talk to and makes it easy to communicate with her via text/email! She and everyone there make a point to thank you every time you come in too! Why do they need volunteers for class? Well, As many as 3 volunteers could surround and support a beginner or riders with more emotional or physical needs by holding them in the saddle, maybe just putting a hand on their leg so they know they are safe, etc.... While maybe 1 volunteer would be used for an experienced rider to simply lead the horse. I can't say enough about this place! Looking to help your community and volunteer your time around KIND people and animals? LOOK NO FURTHER!

​Update: We had an great experience with Blacktip Swim School! Over the course of about six months,…read moremy son went from a beginner to a confident swimmer, ultimately earning his way up to Level 3. ​Both Albert and Baylee are incredibly professional, highly skilled, and fantastic coaches. I also recently had the opportunity to have a great heart-to-heart with Albert. We talked about customer service, our respective passions, and found a wonderful mutual understanding of both of our perspectives--which I deeply appreciated. ​While this is my son's last class for now, we are incredibly grateful for the foundation they've built for him. Highly recommended! Old review: I am incredibly disappointed with our recent evaluation experience at Blacktip Swim School in Plano. Up until this point, we hadn't had any major issues, but the lack of communication and disregard for a parent's explicit request has left a very bitter taste in my mouth. ​We learned back in Level 1 that my son needs a specific environment to succeed. When he was tested by a female coach initially, he didn't take it seriously at all and had to be retested. When Coach Albert stepped in to perform that retest, it was night and day. My son simply responds better to a male coach when it comes to the pressure of testing and evaluations--I know how my child operates. ​Because of this, I went out of my way to ensure we wouldn't have a repeat of that situation. I explicitly told Coach Albert that I wanted him to do the evaluation, and I also specifically told Coach Megan the exact same thing. ​Despite confirming this, the evaluation was performed by Coach Baylee. ​To make matters worse, Coach Albert was visibly available on-site during the exact time my son was being evaluated. When I brought my dissatisfaction and disappointment directly to Coach Baylee, explaining that I had specifically requested Coach Albert, her response was simply, "I can do evals too." While I have no doubt she is qualified, that completely misses the point. It was not what I requested, and it completely ignored my child's specific learning needs. ​Unsurprisingly, without the right coaching dynamic for the test, my son did not pass. I've attached a screenshot of his scores from a little over two weeks ago for reference; it shows he was already just about there, and he even attended three additional practices after that progress report was posted. He was ready. ​When he failed due to the environment, I was initially told he would just have to retest in two weeks. I brought my frustration directly to Coach Albert afterward. Essentially, the attitude from the school was that I was out of luck because they had "other classes today," and they admitted absolutely no fault for the mix-up. ​Coach Albert offered a small solution: he told me we could come in 5 minutes early next week so he can personally perform the evaluation. ​The entire reason I advocated for my son and requested Coach Albert was to avoid this exact outcome. It is incredibly frustrating to watch your requests get completely ignored, especially when the coach you asked for is standing right there. I am giving them the chance next week to make this right, but Blacktip Swim School needs to do a much better job of listening to parents, taking accountability for their mistakes, and honoring requests that directly impact a child's success.
