Pleasanton Swim Team,

4455 Black Avenue, Pleasanton, CA 94566

"I have been part of this team for years. Those who claim it is abusive are completely wrong. The coaches there support swimmers throughout their swimming career and push them to become a better swimmer. This team is definitely going to push your limits as a swimmer, which will make you a better athlete. Definitely suggest going here."

"Do not think this place is bad all the coaches are very nice and helpful. What you see online is a big difference between seeing it in real life. Join the team and don't judge a book by its cover!"

"This is absolutely the most horrible swim team ever! My friend swam here and her teammates were just so rude to her, they threw kickboards, food, etc at her and it is awful. Not to mention the abusive coaches!!!! This team needs to be canceled!!!!!!"

"Terrible club. No coach parents relationship, you never hear from the coach until something goes wrong. When you complain, nobody respond to your complaint. The club has been tinted with bunch of scandals. The latest scandal is coach hitting swimmer with a cone during a meet. They always hiking fees up. Below is a recent example of an email communication from the President office threatening swimmers and parents. Dear Seahawk families, This is a reminder for those of you attending tomorrow’s PLS Pizza night. We will start at 6PM sharp in the park behind the pool. In case of inclement weather, we will probably shorten the event. We anticipate the event will end at 7:15PM, at the latest. With that said, the late pick up policy will be in effect from our Safety Policy. In this case, our coaches and the team will accept responsibility for your swimmers up to 7:15PM. After 7:15PM, a coach will wait with the swimmer until transportation arrives. You will be charged a prorate fee equal up to $80/hour until your swimmer is picked up. Further, at 7:45PM, the Pleasanton Police will be notified of an abandoned child and if required, will take custody of the child until such a time as the parent(s) or appropriate guardian(s) can be located. Thank you! Have a great time tomorrow"

"I am in this swim team, and nowhere as bad as these people make it. The coaches are nice and DON'T support the abuse of children. They are inclusive and try to help you get better. To the people that say "do your research" and "it is not safe": YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH! ACTUALLY TRY GOING HERE AND JOINING."
