Wow! I learned to swim in a month!!!…read more Learning how to swim has been on my bucket list for many years. As a grown adult with friends who like water sports and going to the beach, not knowing how to swim has always been socially awkward. I was also so nervous when I took my child to the pool that I really didn't enjoy it. I really wanted to learn to swim and group lessons did not work with my schedule. I was able to commit 4 weeks to learning how to swim and took three sets of private lessons during this time. Leslie was super flexible with the time and days of my private lessons. Leslie has a natural gift to teach people how to swim. I was so nervous about putting my face in the water and would get super anxious. Leslie took her time with my breathing while still moving forward with other elements of learning how to swim. While I still have a ways to go to be a strong swimmer, the fact that I can even get in an Olympic pool without a flotation device or flippers and actually move my way through the water...with my face in the water...is pretty awesome. I look forward to continuing occasional lessons so that I can get even better.

WORST COMPANY EVER! DO NOT GET SWIM CLASSES FROM THIS…read moreCOMPANY !!!!! They will take your money, never schedule your classes, and then accuse you to have canceled your swim classes and hide behind some unfair policy!!!!!! I have never had such a bad experience with a company who doesn't even provide good service! STAY AWAY!

We've had such a great experience with my daughter's swim teacher, Marianela! From the very first…read morelesson, she made my daughter feel safe, encouraged, and supported. Her patience, positivity, and ability to connect with kids truly stand out. Even when my daughter feels a little nervous--especially around the deep end--Marianela remains calm and reassuring, helping her build confidence at her own pace. It's clear that she genuinely cares about her students' progress and well-being. I'm so grateful for the growth my daughter has made and for the thoughtful, encouraging approach Marianela brings to every lesson.

Marilyn was incredible. We will be forever grateful for her! I truly thought that only one of my…read morekids would be swimming by the end of our lessons, but I was wrong. She got both of my kids swimming without life vests or floaties! She even had both of them jumping off the diving board in the deep end and swimming to me. Marilyn was so patient and wasn't afraid to challenge the kids. She would check in with me to see what I was comfortable pushing them to do and was atuned to how each of my children felt during their lesson. I really can't say enough good things about her.

My husband took lessons last year and he still can't swim. I think the weird part is that his…read moreinstructor first lessons are trying to get my husband to swim with his face in the water. Why wouldn't he be taught to tread water first? My husband told me he thinks swimming is hard because he can't breathe. Duh..even I who learned how to swim as a child still doesn't like to swim by holding my breath. He only needs swimming lesson to be able to leisurely swim on hot summer days not for competition on anything like that. I'd be happy is he he just did the doggy paddle. I told my husband to tell his instructor to teach him how to tread water first but he was uncomfortable to tell the instructor how to teach. Meanwhile 4 lessons in and he still doesn't know how to swim. He missed 2 classes to due scheduling reasons. It was a waste of money for us. Another bad thing about this company was that it was very hard getting in contacting with anyone from there. I can't tell you how many times I had to call and email them before getting any response.

Tuesday June 2nd, 2021…read more So the pool has been open since Saturday and we definitely had to come. It's limited in capacity at 40% or 92 people. We had a short wait of 5 minutes before enough people left the pool for us to get in. A wait list is taken when the pool exceeds capacity and you just have to wait until people leave, which typically isn't very long, on a week day anyway. I have to say the water was very chilly. So we also didn't stay longer than 30 minutes. The kiddie pool was not open. It seemed like there was no deep section and you could walk from one end of this Olympic size pool to the other. Don't bother calling ahead. I doubt they'll take a reservation over the phone. When I was there, the teenage staff were not answering. I also saw that folks had left the water running in the showers. Not very considerate given water is a scarce commodity. I'd suggest also reeling in the excess swim lanes which were just sitting on the ground gathering leaves. The price: Free! So you can't beat it. We will be back next week when I hope it's a little warmer.

We're kicking off the new year in search of a better pool service company than Sweetwater Pools…read more The subpar reviews on this app align with our disappointing experience. Here's why we don't recommend Sweetwater Pools... Inexperienced technicians - unable to answer the most basic maintenance questions. Disrespectful to property - the technicians would disassemble our pool skimmer, using the pole to mix their chemicals (that's fine!), but then not put it back together. We repeatedly asked them to put it back the way they found it to no avail. It felt lazy and disrespectful. Zero communication - really hard to get anyone to call you back to address concerns or questions. To sum it up, we never felt like Sweetwater Pools valued our business or ever tried to salvage it. You have been forewarned.

Not a very good experience with Sweetwater Pools, we needed our pool cleaned after it was opened…read morefrom another not so pool friendly company, we agreed on the contract, made the monthly payment, almost 2 weeks later a guy from there comes out to clean and get the pool ready for summer, he only vacuumed half the pool, and dropped 5 3" tabs in the strainer basket and then he left, his "supervisor" then came out couple hours later, said he would have everything done even if he had to come back out and vacuum again, well he left to after about an hour, sides of the pool were not cleaned, debris still on the bottom of the pool, empty chemical bottle left on the pool deck, left and never heard from him again, called Saturday, spoke with Management but since he is management North, he could do anything, Monday I called the office, told them everything that was and was not done, I was told that the pool techs report stated " the pool was cleaned, chemicals added, and the deck was cleaned up with a leaf blower" I think its pretty sad when employees tell stories to there employers to make themselves look good while making a PAYING customer look bad. Not one word of sincerity or offers to help get to the bottom of the situation, I told them to cancel my NEW account, and was told "ok, have a nice day". out XXX.xx for 5 chlorine tablets and some bottle of chemical!!

If you are trying to decide whether to do your certification with Aquatic Explorers Society, I have…read moretwo words for you: DO IT! My experience with Aquatic Explorers was better than I could have possibly imagined! My husband has been diving for 20 some years and is very passionate about it. I went on an "exploration" dive on our honeymoon to see if I would like it and found I LOVED it. When I saw the AES Groupon it was too good of a deal to pass up. I was a little apprehensive with it being a Groupon, but it was the best decision I could have made. After taking the course and getting to know the owners and their employees, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this course at full cost to any of my friends looking to get certified. I was very impressed by their diving knowledge and experience and loved that they were so passionate about marine education and conservation. I have a crazy schedule and they were so kind with working around me being in and out of town for work. They never gave up on me until we found a weekend that worked! I loved the ease and convenience of being able to do my bookwork online from anywhere. I know the below comment mentioned how they didn't like being asked for their personal info, but I felt they didn't ask for anything that wasn't pubic record anyway AND how do you think they verify it is you that is being certified?! It does not seem that strange or intrusive to me at all. Our first day of class started in the classroom with Devin who was extremely informative and made you feel comfortable asking questions. He explained everything thoroughly and used visual aids when relevant, which helped me a lot. Next was into the pool with Genette and Mandy who both made you feel comfortable and gave you the confidence to master the skills you need to know underwater. If a mistake was made they didn't make you feel stupid, they would just help you until you understood how to do it properly. They also explained the reasons why things were done certain ways, which I really appreciated. Although we were in a pool, they would explain things to us in the context of being in the ocean or lake. By the end of the two days, my confidence in my abilities has grown exponentially. I can't wait to do my checkout dives and receive my full certification! Another great thing about AES is they offer all kinds of fun trips throughout the year to different diving locations that you can join if you are certified or go on to do your checkout dives. Granted, if you want to save money, you can do your dive at Lake Lanier with them as well, but who wants to go to Lake Lanier when you could check out in Nassau or Abaco!
