My child has been going to Waterworks for 8+ months and I have seen great progress with his swimming. His coach Shea Duty is absolutely fabulous! I love Shea's working style. He builds trust and rapport, gives confidence (very important), encourages, gently nudges him, and above all really focuses on the right techniques. My child has learned so much! We like going to Waterworks because of Shea and would not want to change our instructor when Shea is away :)The facility is clean and well-managed but our selling point for Waterworks is definitely our coach!

We highly recommend our son’s swim instructor Mr. Shea Duty to anyone who wants to become proficient in swimming. Our son began his swim lessons last year at level 2, and has now progressed to level 11. I can see my son making progress each lesson, and he really likes his instructor who is very encouraging of his efforts. Mr. Duty makes sure all his moves are correct each time, and he is patient with kids and keeps a positive attitude. Mr. Duty is also very respectful and polite to all the parents who talk to him. Thank you, Mr. Shea Duty, for being an excellent teacher and teaching our son to swim so well.

We love our coach. she is awesome at teaching small kids. She is Ms Nullely. My kid likes her. In our class, most kids are age of 6-30 months. She is really good for small baby. I really recommend her.

We come here for my 4 year old swimming classes. Very happy with the facilities and instructors. They have a small pool where little ones can play before or after class and practice what they've learnt.

They are known to be slow in progress and quite expensive. It’s $80 for 20 mins, my kids have been here for a year and still didn’t make much progress. The teachers are not quite focusing on making good progress for kids

Very kid friendly place to learn swimming, plenty of changing/shower rooms and big pools. The coaches wear masks for classes, and the pools are big enough for groups to keep a safe distance.

Not a good option for adults. Came here for lap swimming. I reserved a lap lane from 8:00 pm -9:00 pm, arrived at 7:50 and still lots of kids here. At 8:00 pm there are still many kids jumping into the lane I reserved, but the staff asked you to leave as soon as it turned to 9:00 pm. I don’t think they really respect my time. The only reason I came here is other pool closed during the holiday. Wouldn’t recommend to any adults tho.

The classes were not very helpful. Their online reservation system is borderline scam. Classes mysteriously disappear. The portal through which you make payments and reserve classes is buggy and confusing - so much so that it almost feels to be deliberately designed that way, so as to obfuscate the recurring disppearance of paid classes. Tried resolving it multiple time with their customer care, and they were clueless too. Overall frutrating experience.
