I highly recommend Aquatic Waterworks for adult swimming classes! I have been taking weekly private…read moreadult lessons here for a few years, and the progress I have made is incredible. The instructors--Regis, Azul, Valeria, and Crane--are all extremely patient. They taught me everything from basic floating to mastering the breaststroke. I used to be terrified of the deep end, but their guidance gave me the confidence to swim there completely fear-free. The facility itself is immaculate, featuring very clean showers with hot water. Both the trainers and the front desk staff are super friendly and helpful. Plus, their app makes it incredibly easy to view your schedule, reschedule, or cancel classes. If you are an adult looking to learn how to swim, this is absolutely the place to go!

We enrolled our daughter in this swim school on and off for about two years and were ultimately…read moredisappointed with the lack of meaningful progress given the time and money invested. Despite years of lessons, she still cannot swim independently. We later learned that other swim programs are able to teach independent swimming skills in a matter of weeks at a lower costs. Other programs come with a guarantee of independent swim once completing the program. waterworks feels like just an endless cycle of classes with no real accountability to ensure your child progresses. Lessons are 20-minute sessions that are scheduled back-to-back. This leads to transition time between students cutting into already short lessons. When paying a premium per minute, that lost instruction time adds up. We also experienced a high level of instructor turnover. It was difficult for our child to build comfort and consistency with a teacher before being reassigned. While the school indicates that progress notes are shared between instructors, in reality it often felt like the first 1-2 lessons with a new instructor were spent simply getting them up to speed with our child's abilities. Of course lessons that we have to pay for. Make-up lessons are also restrictive. Even when they cancel your lesson, which happens frequently they issue a makeup lesson instead of a paid lesson or refund. Make-up lessons must be used within the same week and are subject to limited availability, which made them difficult to actually schedule. They also expire quickly if you aren't paying for and scheduling new lessons. During summer months, the pool is extremely crowded and noisy, and the kids can't even hear the instructors. While the instructors were kind, the overall structure and lack of continuity is not conducive to any actual progress. Save your time and money and look elsewhere.

Unfortunately, we have noticed that staff members, including one of our favorite instructors have left and are planning on leaving their employment at this location. I have learned that this is not because of the job itself, but because of the conduct and behavior of the owner whom I shall refer to as "B" "B" does not seem to value his staff in the way we, the customers, do. It is my understanding that he is often rude, dismissive, abrupt, and insensitive to staff. I have also learned that there is hardly a staff member at the school that has not been brought to tears by the words of 'B" I have personally observed some of his interactions with staff, and was horrified that they would be spoken to in the manner that he did. This type of business relies on their staff, specifically their teachers. Without them, there is no business. I am quite concerned that there will be a continued turnover, which will have a direct negative impact on the students at the school, including my son. I know that this is a family owned and operated business. I have great respect for the Callan family. Unfortunately "B" is risking their good reputation, and I truly hope someone in the family business can step in and change the course such that the staff be treated as they deserve. I know that many families, mine included, will follow our child's instructor if they should leave this location. This 5 star rating is only because of the employees.

Just six months later, she's swimming unassisted across the pool. It's been truly remarkable to watch her progress, and her instructor, Miss Isabella, has made every lesson fun, encouraging, and safe from day one. The lessons are short, which seems typical for this age group, but if you stay consistent, the progress happens quickly. The staff is also very open to feedback and always responsive whenever we've had questions or concerns about a lesson. Going into this summer, I feel confident she'll be able to swim independently, and I'm so grateful she's developed a genuine love for the water.

The workouts are intense but the instructors make them fun and safe. Each instructor is incredibly supportive and very knowledgeable. The classes are a perfect size and the other gym members are very encouraging to each other. This is by far the best, hardest, and most rewarding gym session I've ever participated in.  As an FYI, I had zero swim experience outside of growing up in Orange County and going to the beach as a highschooler. I have never participated in a formal swimming lesson. That all said if I can make it, anyone can. The staff is literally America's Elite (MARSOC team guys) and their discipline and attention to detail and attitude are incredible.  My only suggestions: More classes, I am hooked. Beach workouts and ocean swims would be amazing  Sell gear, preferably ten thousand shorts and shirts (the logo is legit) Create a checklist of items to show up to class with (swim goggles, fins, town, sunblock, etc)

I can't recommend them enough! I'm already looking forward to the short refreshers they offer closer to summer time!

We relocated from San Francisco to San Diego and moved into a home with a pool, so making sure our kids were safe around water was one of my top priorities. I actually scheduled swim lessons for our daughter, Emmy, with Krista before we even moved here! Emmy started lessons when she was 2, continued again the next summer at 3, and this past summer our son Hayes joined in at just 1.5 years old. Krista has such a gift with young children -- she's patient (yet firm), calm, and knows exactly how to make them feel comfortable and confident in the water. We've seen incredible progress each summer. Both kids have not only learned essential water safety skills, but they also love being in the pool now. The peace of mind knowing my young children are safe around water is truly priceless, and it makes living in Southern California (and being around so much water) so much less stressful. Swim Synergy has been such a wonderful experience for our family, and we're already looking forward to lessons again next summer!
