WaterWay USA Swim School 3770 East Willow Street, Long Beach, CA 90815

"We were so excited going to Waterway last year with our 3 sons. Daniel was a super friendly teacher. But then things started to change. He tried to hire new people to give the lessons instead of him : lack of knowledge, no motivation to sing songs (which is very important with young kids),... And then from one week to another, it was always the same lesson. So we noticed that after one year of practice, our sons couldn’t float on their back by themselves like it is recommended in all the other swim schools for safety reasons. And their only concerns were to ask us to put good reviews on Yelp/Google by giving us a free lesson. Money first... So we left without regrets."

"After hours of research and visits to a bunch of facilities, I found Daniel at Waterway USA and my child couldn't be happier. My daughter started her lessons at approximately 6 months of age, and even in the group classes, the instructors all made sure to take time with every child and customize the experience based on skill level. This isn't your typical "splash around and sing" type of deal. While my child does have fun, shes also learning self rescues techniques and can even hold her breath for up to 5 seconds under water. My only regret is that the classes aren't every day of the week!"

"I absolutely love this place. I started bringing my baby here at 9 months or so and she loves it. I enjoy working with Daniel, he is an energetic upbeat instructor with an awesome attitude. He really loves his job. The folks here are warm, kind and welcoming. I enjoy the bonding time with my baby. Also they allow you to warm up in the pool before lessons so the little ones transition smoothly. There’s plenty of room to change and chairs to cheer them on. They make it easy and fun for everyone. Thanks Daniel"

"Such a great school! Waterway swim program: convenient, family friendly, affordable, a free trial for first class. Instructors and staff are great. They kept class size small so that kids get more personalized attention and instructors who remember their strengths and weaknesses from week to week. Besides, The pool is kept warm and super clean, the air is controlled to a warm temperature. We are happy to choose Waterway. Strongly recommended!"

"I take my 3 year old and 1 year old to Waterway USA and have been very pleased with the quality and clarity of the lessons. My older son was definitely afraid of the water and the combination of calm instruction and clever activities have helped quite a bit. The facility is clean and the staff friendly. Though these are our first swim lessons (hard to ignore all the positive reviews!) I think I'd be hard pressed to find a better experience."
