âI have my daughter here for swim classes and we also stay after for open swim. This place is clean, the staff are so friendly. My daughter's instructor is so nice and patient. Staff really care about the kids here. My daughter has been struggling with her fear of water, and they have been nothing but patient and trying different skills to get her comfortable. I am extremely happy with the staff and the ways they care.â

âI took my girls there yesterday and watched how that place was ran there was tons of kids, those lifeguards though I give so much credit to them woot woot! They switch seems like every 15 minutes and never take their eyes of our kids I felt that my kids were safe. No goofing off on their part. Also their was 5 lifeguards on duty always. It was an awesome experience for me and them we will be backâ
