If you are sitting on the side of the pool watching, it's pretty uncomfortable. There is plenty of other sitting outside of the pool area that's nice and cool though! I do have to say the teacher we have here, Milton (for the baby and me class) is FANTASTIC! He brings such great energy and keeps all the kids happy and engaged. The instructor we had at another Water Wings was so unenthusiastic we were not sure about giving Water Wings another shot but I'm glad we did. We are still pretty early in the swim lesson journey, so I will be sure to update my review. The baby and me class is 30 mins and it goes by quickly. I love that they have showers and dressing rooms so you can change after the class. They even have some small snacks for sale which is nice if your kiddo gets hungry. I can't wait for us to graduate to the next class up because the process of the kids moving up looks so cute! They award them a special token in the pool and they can pick something out of the treasure chest as an award. I like that they make it something special and celebratory.

I brought my 4-year-old son to Aqua Buddies for swim lessons. At first, everything seemed fine…read more During his initial lesson, he worked with one instructor and learned basic skills like blowing bubbles, which was a positive start. However, as we continued, each lesson was with a different instructor, and that lack of consistency made my son increasingly uncomfortable. At his age, familiarity matters, and it became clear he wasn't settling in the way I had hoped. What ultimately led me to write this review, though, was not the instructors--it was the customer service. My interactions with the scheduler/representative regarding scheduling, missed days, and invoices were unpleasant and rigid. There was very little kindness or willingness to work with me, and the communication felt cutthroat rather than supportive. Because of this inflexibility, my son essentially missed out on continued lessons. Instead of working with me as a parent trying to navigate life with two young kids and a disabled husband, I felt pushed out over a missed appointment. In retrospect, I now see how much that experience negatively impacted my son's relationship with the water. I'm writing this while watching my son thrive at Water Wings, where he is happy, confident, and excited to learn. Seeing the difference has made me realize just how behind he became due to how things were handled at Aqua Buddies. Thankfully, there are other options in this city. I truly wish Aqua Buddies placed more emphasis on compassion, flexibility, and customer service--especially when working with young children and families who may need understanding, not rigidity.

After just two sessions, I am still blown away by the progress I've made. I also have very long, thick locs and was concerned about how swimming lessons would affect my hair.

His prices are very reasonable and affordable--truly a worthwhile investment in myself. Scheduling is easy and flexible, and Yusuf is patient and supportive during each lesson. I'm so glad I found this in the Valley and highly recommend Yusuf to anyone looking to build real skills and confidence in the water.

Friends and family tried to teach me but I just got frustrated because didn't feel like I was getting it. So here I was an adult with no swimming experience. I wanted to surprise my husband and learn how to swim for our October Kaua'i trip. I reached out to High Quality swimming and got an immediate response from Noah. We were able to meet at a local pool in the valley. By the first class I was able to swim! I was so excited. Noah is amazing!His teaching style was perfect. Instead of just telling me what to do, he was thorough in explaining why and what I should be feeling in the water. We practiced until I was comfortable with each step. He guided and encouraged me and build my confidence. I am forever grateful. I feel much safer in the water and with more practice I hope to be an even more efficient swimmer. I had a great time in Kaua'i swimming and paddle boarding. Learning how to swim opened up so many new opportunities to enjoy the outdoors!!

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!!
