Propel Swimming Lessons Vancouver: what do users think?
Valentino Pereira
Valentino Pereira: Had a very bad experience booked a class on Mothers Day and had my wife wait for 15 minutes outside . Upon contacting the instructor was told she had cancelled the day before as she was ill but Propel did not send me any notification. Was a waste of out time and money on mother's day . Still haven't heard from them nor have I received my money back from Propel.
Jarrod Sidhu
Jarrod Sidhu: I had my first lesson today with propel and it was excellent!At first I was a bit apprehensive with how easy the process was online, but I had never heard of propel before.I was extremely impressed from the get go. I had a lesson with Kirsten K. She was very patient and encouraging. I had some experience in the water but am by no means a good swimmer.In the hour session I feel much more confident and like I had actually made improvements, and to me they were significant improvements in my mind.I would definitely suggest propel to anyone.I did the fitness 2k location it was nice, but a bit dark with no natural light.Overall for value, and th experience definitely 5/5 stars.
Cherlyn Cortes-Manderson
Cherlyn Cortes-Manderson: As an adult learner I’m finally learning how to swim with Propel instructor Thadene! She’s kind, patient and is a very skilled teacher. It’s very easy to use the Propel website to book or modify lessons and I’m very glad to have found this company.
Anoo Mammen
Anoo Mammen: Swimming with Propel has been a great experience so far! I love the convenience of choosing from a variety of time slots any day of the week and not having a set number of classes, or registration day. Just as important, the instructor Haley is amazing! She crafts a completely customized lesson and is very patient and encouraging. Customer service is also very friendly. Strongly recommend Propel!
Haider Abbas
Haider Abbas: Good morning. I have had a very positive experience while finally getting down to learning how to swim with the knowledgeable instructor Jasmine S.This will help me throughout my life later on wherever I go, since knowing how to swim and to swim well is an essential requirement in life I believe.Thanks again for your help.Exact and precise instructions were provided by Propel before each lesson and the pool was well maintained too.Have an excellent day and au revoir.
Laura Danforth
Laura Danforth: Positive:Communication,ProfessionalismGreat lesson. The teacher, Haley K, was great at explaining things to my son (4) and really encouraging. I got some good tips to work on with him after too. A lot was covered in the hour but she kept him engaged the whole time.
Ayisha Parmar
Ayisha Parmar: I found Propel by Googling private adult swimming lessons. It was very easy to book through their website- you can choose the pool, instructor, and time. Each instructor has different rates, which seems based on their experience and credentials. My instructor was Thadene. I never quite grasped swimming when I was young, and I'm embarrassed for my lack of ability. I also find deep water scary. In my first lesson, Thadene taught me how to breathe and float. I never knew how to float properly before, so that was very exciting. I also swam a bit, which was very surprising! Throughout the lesson, she asked if I felt okay and went at my pace. She didn't embarrass me for my lack of ability, body, fear, etc. I will be booking more lessons. So far, I would definitely recommend Propel for adults who are trying to learn how to swim!Update: I changed my review from 4 stars to 3 stars. The reason being that the lesson prices have increased a lot and my instructor has little availability. It's hard to schedule in regular lessons if you work Monday to Friday. Forget getting a lesson on the weekend, the instructor is booked. The remaining available slots are usually at weird and inconvenient times. I might have to change my instructor to someone who has a better schedule and pricing.Update: Forgot to mention in the previous update that this company offers $5 off if you write a Google review after the first lesson. So a lot of these reviews have been influenced by this (look at how many are made after the first lesson and have not been updated). Be cautious. Also I didn't find the company's response professional after my first update. This was many months ago when they emailed me in private. They claimed their lessons only increased by $5. The lessons increased several times when I did use Swimco (more than just $5 overall). Thinking over about it, I wouldn't really want to try Propel again, and I think a lot of these reviews should be removed.
Jen Jacoby
Jen Jacoby: There really is no substitution for experience, and Christa is by far the best.  Our lessons with Christa are everything she has so thoroughly mentioned on her bio page of your website, and then some!  We are all very impressed by her caring and fun approach, she clearly is an expert of calmly maintaining the safety of both my kids in this environment and her kind and playful engagement with us is inspiring.My kids progressed exponentially more with Christa in only one session, compared to multiple sessions elsewhere (and over several years of attending different pools in both private and group classes).  She is easy to communicate with, forthcoming, professional, compassionate, a great leader and was thoughtfully prepared.  Furthermore, her initial communication included class details with helpful logistics and then her follow ups include things to practice, which is all very appreciated!  When my kids lesson sets are done for this season, I will gladly be signing myself up with her, too ~ Otherwise I won't be able to keep up with my children at this rate!  Smiles from the fun and newfound confidence in the water are priceless. We would happily recommend her to anyone.Thank you for this service Propel! The booking experience is easy to navigate, within a very informative website.  I love how I can book at a time that works best for us, with an instructor we've chosen, in hotels that aren’t crowded. (Or even now at our home pool!)  It’s a much nicer system compared to what I’ve experienced before and there’s no going back.
Laia Bertran
Laia Bertran: My daughters loved it. Courtney was knowledgeable teaching kids and after each class she gave me a summary of their abilities, expectations, recomendations... As soon as their goup lessons end in Dec. we will continue to book with her.With 30 min in group lesson they only get to swim for 7 min each, here, they have the 30 min all for themselves in the comfort of a hotel pool. Just with the first class my eldest felt more confident and improved in her group lessons.
R Chan
R Chan: It definitely worth the cost! Private lessons, in an almost private pool, have made my child progress in her confidence in water much more than any other swimming lessons (both groups and private) I have ever put her to. Thank you especially to Kristen, who is very patient and encouraging to my child (elementary school age). Kristen really knows how to help older kids feel at ease in water.
Jennifer Tsang
Jennifer Tsang: I love their customer service, my daughter loves Kristen as her trainer. She had lots of fun with Kristen and Kristen helps my daughter enjoy the swimming.....
va10
va10: My daughter has been swimming with Propel for 4 lessons now. The results have been amazing. The last session with Kristen has shown how much progress my daughter has made. Kristen's attention, and positive reinforcement helped my daughter make great strides in her confidence and ability with swimming in just 1 lesson with Kristen. We hope that Kristen is recognized by the organization for her amazing instruction and we hope that she can be my daughter's instructor in future sessions.Lorraine
Tanya Grace
Tanya Grace: My child has always been nervous in group swimming lessons; and the instructors in group lessons don’t have the extra time it takes to give her choices or talk to her to make sure she’s comfortable, making her progress slow which in return made her confidence in swimming very low. We’re 2 lessons in and her confidence is high. She did more things in one lesson than she did in a 6 week group lesson. Seeing her smiling and confident in the water is priceless. Plus, I was able to put my son in the lesson with her, and he is progressing equally as fast and having so much fun. And as a parent of 3, I love the ability to book one session at a time when it works for us, and it’s so easy to book too.
Neal Peacocke
Neal Peacocke: As a novice swimmer, looking to improve my technique, the lesson was great and Kristen was a very effective instructor. She made very good use of the 60-minute lesson to provide me with useful drills and diagnose some issues with my swimming form. As for the booking experience, I found it very straightforward.
Aki Dickstein
Aki Dickstein: The best swimming lessons ever! My son used to take one of the original private companies saying “Learn to swim in 1/4 of the time” but his progress with Propel Swimming's is actually much faster. Also their reservation system is super simple and flexible. Strongly recommended!!!
m a
m a: My kids had an excellent swimming lesson with Courtney who was very attentive and an awesome instructor. The booking process was very easy and the facilities were also very good. I plan to have my kids take further lessons with Propel.
Flora Zhang
Flora Zhang: Courtney is very professional and motivated, I have learned two swimming strokes to swim individually within 4 classes. She is very sharp and intelligent to point out the key problem and correct immediately, I can improve in every class.
Lily Mallin
Lily Mallin: The experience was great! Kristen is a pleasant and very patient instructor. I'm happy to have found this place to become more confident in swimming! I highly recommend it!
carmen S
carmen S: Tayler is a fantastic teacher! I learned more in the first lesson than I did in 6 weeks of community centre classes. I also love how easy Propel has made the sign up process and how clear the instructions are. I appreciate a well-organized business that considers all the details and makes it simple and easy for the client.
Johnny Yin
Johnny Yin: My first adult swimming lessons with instructor Courtney L in Vancouver downtown was very successful. Courtney showed me her good professional techniques in swimming and corrected my stroke,tought me new stroke accurately which should be more than I expected. I like to take her lessons to improve my swimming skill further more. Certainly her teaching method is in very details and patience which I can understood very well.
Oğuz Istif
Oğuz Istif: I have sent my daughter for lessons with Propel. Register process was really easy, they have a friendly online profile. They follow up before and after the class and make sure you had the best experience. Our teacher Tayler is really good as well.

Kathleen Paiger
Kathleen Paiger: Propel provides a wonderful service. As a parent, I enjoy the flexibility of choosing dates and times that work for our family’s schedule. The online booking service is easy and convenient to use. Lessons provided by Jordon have been filled with instruction and swimming time. The River Rock Casino pool is a warm and inviting place to swim.
Josh Bennick
Josh Bennick: We took our 4yo son for his first 5 swim lessons with Priscilla. She made the time fun while introducing swimming concepts to him--picking up toys from the bottom of the pool, putting toys on the kickboard as he kicked around etc. She challenged him to get better and our son responded well and was well prepared for when his group lessons began. We will use Priscilla again as he progresses.The River Rock pool is great- large and not overly crowded or noisy.
Harkurn Ubhi
Harkurn Ubhi: My lessons with Propel have been great! The personalized lessons really make the learning experience faster and more enjoyable!
Oilers Titans
Oilers Titans: This is our second month with propel and booking was easy. The instructors are all good and very welcoming. I highly recommend it!
Shenica Scarpino
Shenica Scarpino: My kids absolutely love their lessons with propel. They learn so much faster with the individualized attention they receive and I love the convenience of being able to choose the pool, day and time of the lesson. The instructors are knowledgeable, kind and great with kids. I highly recommend them!
Sally Barbeler
Sally Barbeler: Teya is great with children. Our son was very resistant at first and she patiently worked with him until he was fully participating in the lesson.
David Chen
David Chen: The swim lesson was for my two grand-daughters. Teya is a very good instructor. My grand-daughters were apprehensive about taking swim lessons but I convinced them to try for one lesson. The girls had a lot of fun with Teya's coaching and they are going back for more lessons. Good job and Thank you, Teya.
Bill FLY Yeung
Bill FLY Yeung: My daughter tried Propel few years ago. 4-5 lessons already get her to level 4 , Red Cross. More important is she get over water fear with one to one lesson.My youngest daughter is trying Propel now . Two lessons, she already getting over water fear. One to one lesson, the trust on the coach, and the professional coaching effectively guide the students to overcome their struggle.Thank you , Propel coaches.Any parent still wondering whether outside group lesson is a cheaper way to go, let me say this : many kids may learn well with group lessons. But you better go for professional help from professional coaches when you see your kids is struggling.
Gary Wang
Gary Wang: Just had my first lesson with Rebecca, who is friendly and easy to work with. Already seen marked improvement after the first lesson. Will be coming back.
Pat Gustafson
Pat Gustafson: My son J. was able to do the front crawl properly with Teya in about 45mins! She is amazing with him. Teya has a great demeanor with the kids and knows how to communicate with them. My son had trouble learning through the community centre as it was only 30 mins in a crowded pool. Propel is awesome! They can accommodate you anywhere! I would not hesitate booking with them again!ThanksPat G.
David Guo
David Guo: Very effective and it's indeed worth the price.
Pierre L
Pierre L: Booking is a breeze as usual. Booked With Priscilla as the usual instructor our son had was not available at the times we needed. Even though our son (who is 5) was not thrilled at first when I told him he was getting a new instructor, Priscilla made him feel at ease right away and he really enjoyed his class. Priscilla definitely has a way with young kids.
Arthur Lai
Arthur Lai: Booked Priscilla at River Rock casino. She was very patient with my slow learning and thorough with her explanations on techniques and how to improve. 10/10 would recommend.
Aiden Robloxian
Aiden Robloxian: Instructor Chloe- was awesome and great with my six year old son. She was well prepared , encouraging and introduced fun games. Lesson was definitely great value and I highly recommend her.
Anthony L
Anthony L: A great, professional and trustworthy swimming school! My child has been learning here, firstly from Kiel O. for the first time since he was 7 years old. It is now the third summer. Although it is only one-on-one study every summer, my kid likes the teachers and swimming environment of this school. Now my kid can swim 50-100 meters independently, I believe this progress will be faster and faster, because he has mastered the most important basic skills. As long as he is training more and more, swimming will become one of his sports hobby projects. Continue to learn swimming in Propel. Thanks for the teachers as well!
Jenny Wong
Jenny Wong: My eldest failed his community center group swimming classes repeatedly (3times!); leaving us frustrated and him disengaged and disappointed. Like all kids, he loves joking around, playing, and being silly. Which resulted in him not paying attention in class. 😡We felt the best way for him to learn was to have 1:1 lessons. But in our case, we tried a 2:1 class and signed both our boys. Our first class was amazing. Thadene is a very awesome instructor - engaging, friendly, and great communicator. We learned that our eldest can do the techniques, he just needs to focus and apply.The boys loved their class so much we immediately booked a 2nd class on the same day for the following week. Sad Thadene won't be available, but we heard Nathan is good as well 🤗Would totally recommend Propel Swimming to anyone (kids or adults) looking for private swimming lessons. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming... 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Twincle Chen
Twincle Chen: The instructors are awesome. They know exactly how to guide my son not to be afraid down into the water and teach him in a fun way. My son learn very fast and he always looking forward to taking the swimming lessons. And the whole team of Propel is so effective in communication and they are open to accept advice. One of the class has been cancelled and I didn't see the notification email in my email inbox somehow, Propel offers us a free make up class even though it was not their fault. I will recommend Propel to anyone who wants to take a private lesson.
Nicole Chan
Nicole Chan: Great facility, awesome instructors- a great way to spend some quality time with the kids getting them to swim and enjoy it! Would recommend.

Michael Brophy
Michael Brophy: Great pool. Awesome sauna and hot tub. Also Donna deserves a big pay bump
Marie Campbell
Marie Campbell: A local 25 m 6 lanes pool with a good amount of parking and good amount of lockers. There is a nice ravine walk next door if you decide to go for a walk after your swim. Early morning swim is when I go as it is convenient for me being 15 minutes from home.Now why don’t I give this complex 5/5? A few things: Patron behaviour and cleanliness. Part of this is cultural and part of it is just the selfish behaviour of humans. Lost points for cleanliness and lack of reinforcement of the no spitting and snorting rule on deck, in the showers and change rooms. The amount of guttural throat clearing sounds and blowing of noses into the drains, on the deck and in the change room is definitely remarkable. Granted, it could be related to the flu season but this is yet another reason not to have people hacking and blowing and clearing their throats and spitting in the pool, shower and change room.Second reason why a point was lost was more about selfish choices of patrons. There are people who take over the changing rooms as their own while they swim m. They leave items in the private change room and get upset when others use them to change in. I actually do not use the close door change rooms because they are for me, too much trouble (fast changer, no fuss as I sort myself out once I get to work). I have however witness people banging on the change room door angry at the person inside who wanted to use the space even though the first person had left their clothes and had gone for a swim. Shouting matches have ensued along with stopping around and firm placement of items in specific areas placed there to make a territorial point.These two aspects of this pool make for unhealthy tension in the change rooms and sometimes on deck. I fear the first behaviour will spread more disease than necessary. This is supposed to be a health centre- I do hope that staff have the ability to help coach patrons around proper health practises and not just have the ‘no spitting sign up’ as the sign does not make any good difference especially if the behaviour is culturally acceptable in certain countries. A note about racism- yes, I am White, a woman and part of Gen X but please note this post has been made in the context of health concern and has not complained about a certain race.

Jazzy Jay
Jazzy Jay: Clean water, best hot tub in the city, sauna is a great temperature but extremely small. Lengths are too crowded or limited because of lessons. Update september 6--. For some reason they have their hot tub closed abruptly on the regular. Its becoming a bit of a hassle. And frustrating. Just fix the damn thing if its broken.
Shubam Kalra

As soon as I got in the pool they kicked me out. They should've informed me about the time before charging me 30 minutes before closing.I could prove I paid 30 minutes before closing but they still wouldn't do anything for me.

Darlene Wong
Darlene Wong: Well patronized Community Pool.Frequented by the neighboring community, this center and pool has a loyal membership. The pool has a raked depth beginning with the shallow end at one end and terminating with a deep end on the opposite side. Regular schedule of aquafit classes to suit every level of fitness. Aquafit instructor schedule is posted on one of the walls in the pool area. Young twenty something instructors teach classes from the deck and never in the pool unlike some other pools if the past. The instructors are enthusiastic and upbeat. Instruction routines are formulaic and predictable. Music choices used for some of these classes are tired and over used tunes. Classes are about 60 minutes in length and are available 7 days a week. Change rooms are separated by gender. Communal open showers for 8-9 users. Their locker room is tending towards the small size, with 2 banks of lockers and 4 curtained changing cubicles. Unlike other locker rooms at other community centres there are a pair of hair dryers available for members to use--a luxury. The locker room like the rest of the centre is showing its age with rust and wear visible in places. Despite these observations it's still a reliable place to come for an energetic pool workout.
Monica Amadio
Monica Amadio: Basic swimming pool with a small sliding. The staff is so friendly...
d h
d h: I liked it....there were fewer than 10 splashers during my visit, which allowed me lots of time and space to hog a lane and work on rehab for my post-op knee. Althought there's no hot tub, I did manage to stake out a couple of inflowing jets to get some excellent therapy. Pool is a little dated, but so am I! And the showers are hot! Oh, and you need to provide your own lock for your locker.

Karen
Karen: Most idiotic registration process I have ever encountered.
A Prakash
A Prakash: If you are not a current family, please do not waste your time applying for their programs.We spent hours of our time, across two terms and couldn't get any class for any of our kids. Their system is very time consuming, including multiple mailing lists and making sure you are in the correct mailing list, keeping on checking for available classes, being available at 8am on the registration day for getting a classes, when you might have to drop your kids to school at that time.We attended some classes in the summer, but somehow they decided that we are a previous family because it was not a full term. Their priority order is Current family - Previous family - New Family. By the time it reaches Previous family, there are practically no classes left.I understand that they are optimizing for spots for current families. But they create a false hope for everyone else and people just end up wasting their time.If you value your time, stay away! We wasted our time, please don't waste yours!Update: To add few more details. Mid way last year we found that one of the sessions had a spot. We reached out if we could join, but they said that they can't have someone join mid session.There is just so much bureaucracy at Aquaventures and the whole place feels very impersonal. Life is difficult enough dealing with academic milestones and all the other kid activities, you shouldn't have to go through such a non-deterministic process here.Our application process at all the private schools in Vancouver was better and more personable than dealing with Aquaventures.Aquaventures has implemented an extreme version of legacy+first come first serve admissions. Sure, they fill their spots - but I wonder if they are missing on a lot of talent and commitments. Thankfully, schools and colleges - don't follow their model.Hope Aquaventures can learn and improve their process.
tash ridley
tash ridley: Aquaventures has an amazing facility and great instructors. We love it there. My main complaint is that it is impossible to get through to anyone if you have any questions. There has been several occasions where we had time sensitive questions, called and or emailed. We have never received a call back on any occasion, and the email responses are too delayed to be able to help.

Heather Mannas: There are so many great things about Aquaventures. We've been coming here for almost 5 years and every semester, we've had excellent instructors. They are incredible and I can't thank them enough for their patience and efforts. For those of you who question the cost, the instructors are teaching something every second in the water and it's completely worth it (in my experience). Most staff have been there for a long time. If you are looking for a place with quality instructors, this is it!
Donna。 Lo
Donna。 Lo: The entire staff and instructors are hands down the best in town. My children have been taking lessons since they were 14 months old and now they are 7. The instructors care about the children and their progress. Every instructor is excellent. My children love the water and love to swim. I hope that one day, my girls would want to teach there too.
Greg T.
Greg T.: Great instructors and excellent place for young children to learn the fundamentals of swimming. The facility has a great layout and easy to follow procedures in order to adhere to Covid protocols. Separate entrances for entering and exiting. Booking system is also easy to use.
J D
J D: We have been going to aquaventures off and on for almost 8 years. Most importantly during the baby, toddler and beginning of independent swimming levels for both our kids. I was a Red Cross swim instructor in my teens and the training left me unprepared for teaching parent and tot levels. I was so happy to see and participate in a program where the staff were much better trained and the program flexible to each kids abilities and ages. Because of the higher cost we have come and gone after the age of 3/4 depending on what’s going on. We have returned to it when something hasn’t worked elsewhere or if we were out of swimming for a period of time. I especially like the summer where it’s everyday for a week. My older kid really improved this way after months of no swimming, and my younger one has learned so much in the private covid style right now. The registration is yes unfortunately stressful, however I have been willing to deal with the short term stress for long term gains. I do wish for a better system in the future :)
lj staiger
lj staiger: Just going through some old files and found a letter I sent to Aquaventures in 2010. My son had started when he was 5 in 2008 and we went for 2 years. I was so appreciative of the experience he received. They gave him confidence being in the water. He is now 17 and for years has been in a triathlon club. He loves his sport, and I am so grateful for the start he got at Aquaventures. I was a very nervous mom when it came to him and learning how to swim. You instilled confidence in both of us. Seeing my old file on Aquaventure brought a huge smile to my face and many happy memories. Thank you!
Tom Szymanski
Tom Szymanski: The instructors here are amazing. My daughter wasn't getting anywhere with lessons elsewhere. After just one term she became a lot more comfortable and confident in the water. Now she's a little fish.
Viv
Viv: Warm water for swim lessons for the kids. Excellent staff, swim instructors. Lessons during covid have been excellent. Kids get the pool to themselves practically.
Rose G
Rose G: I don’t care how good the instructors are but the booking system/process is from 1990s It’s not worth it. I couldn’t be bothered to book anything because I lost patience having to deal with their outdated process. It took me over an hour just to locate and read the instructions how to book from their site, while it took me less than 10 min to book with another facility, hassle-free.
Owen Prior
Owen Prior: The instructors here are so professional and caring with the kids, we love this place
Stefania Bogdanovich
Stefania Bogdanovich: We love Aquaventures!!!! Have been going for over 5 years. Thank you Daniella!
Lance Brown
Lance Brown: We tried a few different swim places for our one year old at the time and this was by far the best. Even after we moved out of town we continued to drive 40min to do the class with our two kids.
Kelvin Fong
Kelvin Fong: I’ve never heard of this place and wow, I wish I had. The instructors are professional and they seem to truly love kids. I have to admit the pool is in an area (neighbourhood wise) that is unexpected. My kid is looking forward to the next lesson.
naama landau
naama landau: Great place but registration policy is the most stressful and annoying.They are getting so many students (including me) just because there is no other centre in Vancouver.
Barbara Anne May
Barbara Anne May: If you are looking for the best Child Activity Center in the Vancouver, BC area, 3rd Level Consulting recommends Aquaventures Swim Centre. Based on our decades of working with Children’s Education, Entertainment, Arts, and Sports Instruction programs in multiple industries and Countries, we are confident in our recommendation

Nolan Males
Nolan Males: I really liked swimming there, I have been swimming there alot, I really enjoy swimming with my friend. It is really fun and I would go back there any day.
john condon
john condon: Wash the floors In the changing rooms please. Should be done at least 3 times a day especially in wet wether. Having to avoid brown footprints in your bare feet is disgusting
Vincent Phua
Vincent Phua: Had a very poor experience here. The staff member at the reception was super rude for no reason, and I observed her serving the couple in front of us in the same manner. If you want to swim laps, don’t bother coming here. Three lanes open with people doing breastroke in the fast lane. No cubicle showers so there is no privacy if you want to shower after using the small gym. Won’t be back if I can help it.
Wei x
Wei x: Small swimming pool, not busy at all 😊
Jason Deline
Jason Deline: Please wash the changeroom floors.
S Dot
S Dot: This place is definitely showing its age. It’s dirty, old, cramped and lacking modern amenities. For the well-to-do part of town you would expect they would be planning a future replacement for such an aging facility.
Louise Boilevin
Louise Boilevin: Love this little pool been coming to it since the 90s as a kid. Its got tiny water slide and diving broad and rope swing. It has a tiny gym and sauna and hot tub. And washrooms & change rooms ,lockers ,showers. Vending machines, parking, places to chill , its located next to a kids play park . It has public transportation the #33 & #25 busses stop here . Staff are great .its kid friendly, wheelchair accessible . Its a very chilled environment unlike the hectic Hillcrest type . You can use your one card /leisure access card here Besides credit cards or cash .
Carrie Morin
Carrie Morin: GEORGE IS THE ***BEST*** SWIMMING INSTRUCTOR IN THE WORLD!!! Thank you George!! 🙂Front desk is friendly and helpful too. ❤️
Amna Israr
Amna Israr: Good place, not many options though. Still happy that my child got into swimming lessons there. If you’re going to watch your child swimming there, don’t forget to take along some inside sleepers.
Sophia To
Sophia To: Their swim instructors are great with kids, and they provide feedback to the child on every lap/exercise, even in group lessons
Aimee
Aimee: Lord Byng has an excellent learn to swim program with Fun swim instructors and great upbeat energy. My kids went to school next door so it is great access for swim lessons after school and my husband loves to swim lengths in calm, uncrowded lanes with personable lifeguards to chat with. Yes the facility is older but UBC at $8 hour for parking and Hillcrest's overcrowded lanes make Lord Byng Pool a wonderful oasis. I find this pool cleaner than Kerrisdale pool as well. Kitsilano pool is the BEST pool in the summer but Byng the rest of the year is a great neighbourhood pool.

Didn’t know this and thought it was one of those out in 25 cents ones so I had to buy a lock from the front for $13 had a great time
Patrick Ceasar Muñoz (PC)

linden pinay
linden pinay: Nice pool nice wet sauna.
Dave Burroughs
Dave Burroughs: *Giant red slides closed & life guard said has been for 1 yr & No plans to repair in near future. *Bring your own lock as no coin lockers. *No food available only drinks vending maching, after old cafe's closed. Dont have to book online & can stay as long as wish. Still well worthwhile visiting for young kids. My 5 yr old had a blast for 2 hrs endlessly in the lazy river, plus playing pool soccer with the nets in the shallow kids pool, plus fun fountains in it. Water temp was a perfect warm temp. We also enjoyed the quite hot hot tub, but didnt try steam room. 1m, 3m, 5m diving boards, but 5m mightve been closed.

Theresa Arysisa Hamilton
Theresa Arysisa Hamilton: The pool was a bit cramped on a Friday evening and the water taste was disgusting, like so much salt.
Jazzy Jay
Jazzy Jay: Great steam room and very hot hot tub and clean water. They don't have a sauna here. Unfortunately i dont go here that often because the lanes are always full of people so i cant do my daily 40 laps due to the overcrowding of lanes . Been here three times.

Paul Thola
Paul Thola: Small personalized classes, nice facilities, great staff! Costs a bit more, but it is totally worth it!
Marlene Mann
Marlene Mann: First time at the Deer Lake facility which is really nice. I am a fan of Pedalheads due to smaller class sizes. Although it is pricier than community based swim lessons the kids seem to progress through the levels quicker.
Natalie Allinson
Natalie Allinson: Our kids have progressed really well at Pedalheads Swim. We love the hour long lessons, engaging instructors, small class size, and the fact that we can book our kids lessons during the same time slot despite them being a couple levels apart in ability. The Greentree Facility has been fantastic. Clean & spacious changerooms, warm & bright pool with deck seats for parents who want to watch. We are definitely signing up again next session!
