Bay Club Portland

Our daughters (4, 7) have been taking swim lessons at the Bay Club with Erica Hafen for almost a year. Their comfort level, skills, and enthusiasm for swimming have grown so much. We were feeling behind with the pause in swimming lessons during the pandemic, but with Erica's help, it has taken no time for them to catch right up. We've recently transitioned from private to group "swim team" lessons and this has been great. We love Coach Erica! She is an excellent teacher and very passionate about swimming.

This review is for Coach Erica who is my children’s swim instructor at the Bay Club. My son (4yo) has been taking lessons with Erica for a little over a year and my daughter (18mo) has taken a few mommy and me sessions throughout the year as well. Coach Erica has been amazing with both of them and has made our experience in the pool so wonderful as a family.Speaking mostly about my son, he came to Erica as a kid who would fight getting his head wet and now he’s doing her pre-swim team program. We’ve gone from very little comfort in the water to a high level of comfort over a short time. Erica knows how to get the most out of her students with a myriad of coaching techniques and the right balance of focus and fun in the lesson. She definitely has a work hard, play hard mentality about her lesson’s and she takes the fun part just as seriously as the work!She’s been a pleasure to work with. She has excellent and quick communication and tries to help make it a great experience for the whole family. We love Coach Erica!

I love their workout facilities and variety selection of group exercise. On top of that, Bay Club Portland has the best swim instructors. My son has been with Coach Erica for over a year. In the beginning he had basic skills for some strokes and kicks. After a few months with Coach Erica, he is able to do all the kicks and strokes, and after a year he is now in competitive swim team!! Coach Erica knows how to motivate kids, and passionate about teaching swimming to kids. I highly recommend Bay Club for the parents who are looking for a good swim instructor for their kids.

We’ve been taking swim lessons with Coach Erica for a year now and she’s amazing! My daughter absolutely adores her and she does a fantastic job of teaching new skills, pushing them to do better and also being fun. My daughter has improved tremendously and her love of swimming has only grown. We also enjoy kids world and all the classes the bay club offers.

Clean. Working equipment. Great amenities great for families and athletes alike.

Amazing facility, greet instructors and friendly knowledgeable staff - I couldn’t ask for more in an athletic facility!

I love playing pickleball here. In addition, the club has everything I needed, weights, swimming pools, sauna, jacuzzi and steam rooms. It also serves food. Nice, clean and right size.

We’ve been members for a couple months and are super happy with it! Tons of classes and machines, lots of space to sit and work on a laptop, and a fantastic staff. Hoping for some renovations in the future just to improve/expand on the indoor and outdoor pools and kids’ area, but it’s still great right now. Shared membership option (where you can have members from different households) makes it a great value, too!

Fun, fun, fun. I'd rate it AAA

High priced; keeps the rif-raff and california trash out!
