Aqua Pros Swim School — Attraction in San Diego

This school has really been helpful for both my kids. My daughter has been going since she was a year old and now she is 5 and a very proficient swimmer. After reading some reviews I think it’s best to say as a parent just be patient. Around the age 3-4 I had some frustrations that she wasn’t learning how to swim, but in fact since she started she was in fact learning how to swim (I see this now) but more importantly she learned from a very young age how now to drown. Even during the years where I felt frustrated she couldn’t swim yet, I would take her to pool parties and she was obviously more skilled than other kids. Now watching my two year old son go through the program I can tell that he will have the same experience and I’m better prepared for that 3-4 year frustration which I think has nothing to do with the school or the teachers but is rather just part of the process. We went on vacation and my husband and I were able to relax much more because both my kids know their limits in the pool and know how to safely navigate the water all thanks to the...

I would give 4.5 if I could because there are areas for improvement. Overall, the pool is nice and and all the staff are professional and good with the kids.

Pricing is relatively high so it would be nice if they had a multi kid discount. I have 2 kids and paid full price for both. I didn’t like how if your kid missed a day they could reschedule but with a $5 fee. A better system could be in place for that. They still get the monthly dues in full. The $5 to reschedule a class seems arbitrary.

That’s all, in general, I would recommend...

Up until a few days ago, me and my child have had a pretty positive view of this place. Most of the teachers (& subs) are great, but this time was different. My child said that the substitute not only made them feel uncomfortable, but she (the sub) also kept asking my child and the other kid the sub was teaching if they were okay, and said they don't look okay when they were just standing? Weirded me out. She also had my child and the other kid the sub was teaching do different strokes and formations at the same time, led to confusion between the children. Also found a dead roach in the bathroom the same day, not...
