The staff are always friendly. Includes a 25m section of the cold pool, warm pool, hot tub, sauna, and outdoor waterpark for warm weather. The venue is able to be rented for parties. Pacific students can sign in with their student ID number for a free swim. Plenty of classes to join as well!

First off I specifically told my friend not to splash me and he splashed me anyways. Second my goggles filled full of water and burned my eyes. Third I had a moment of relaxation and forgot to suck in my stomach my brother told me that Brooke knows Im fat now and wont talk to me. Overall good pool just bad day.

NEVER sign your children up for swim lessons here! WORST experience ever!! We had a different swim instructor every week. my daughter is only 3 years old. She had no clue who the instructor was or their name. They had no idea who my daughter was so how is it possible they could give me an accurate score card of my daughters abilities to swim!?! Today we had yet another swim lesson with a DIFFERENT instructor. He left half of his class in the kids area and took the rest to the deep pool to go down the slide. As my daughter went down the slide he caught her and pushed her back towards the edge. She was sinking to the bottom when I reached in 9 months pregnant to grab her out!!!!!!! This is absolutely unacceptable!!!! I will never be returning to swim lessons here and when I went to speak with the manager about this she could not of cared any less! DONT trust your precious children to these people!

The man who runs this gets paid an enormous amount (it was published in the local paper a few years ago) for a badly managed, filthy bathroom facility where the woman at the front desk is the wife of his friend and shes a nightmare. He is a total jerk, cocky and condescending, one of the old boys in that town who run it with their favoritism and self serving motivations. They just promoted another nightmare of a woman to some form of swim specialist. Most of the reviewers are locals with family or friends who work there. There are some wonderful employees there but look at the bathrooms (especially where the toilet meets the floor), they are filthy and we know several children who have caught plantars warts from that facility. The pool in Hillsboro is bigger, cleaner and has more programs.

Fine place to swim with your kids. However, I will never take my kids here for lessons again. The instructor we had seemed fine at first, although I noticed right off the bat that she didnt seem to particularly enjoy children. She just seemed indifferent. But we werent here to make friends, we were here to learn to swim! But then in our second season, my 2 year old (who turned 3 mid-season) started getting legit PUNISHED for being too afraid to jump in the water by herself. She was made to sit in time out, sent to sit with her mom (me) and told specifically she cant play with the other kids and pool toys or use the sauna (two activities at the end of her lessons that the kids always looked forward to) because she wouldnt jump in (my daughter would only jump if the instructor held her arms out to catch her). She ended her last few lessons in tears, sobbing, having been belittled, ostracized and punished for being a normal toddler who did nothing wrong. She should have been gently encouraged and made to feel comfortable in the water at her age and level. Other kids in the class who actually were misbehaving (disobeying, getting out of the pool, hitting, splashing other kids) were just told to stop, or were carried on the instructors back as she moved about the pool. It makes no sense. By the time the season was over, my daughter was MORE afraid of swim lessons than when she started (she never was afraid of swim lessons to begin with). 8 months later, when the subject of swimming comes up, she still talks about her experience and asks if [instructors name] is going to be there, and if she will have to jump in. Im really disappointed. Im shocked to see someone who works with children daily, having no clue how to actually work with or teach children. If we return to FGAC for lessons, we will insist on a different instructor and share these concerns. But if my daughter continues to have anxiety toward lessons at this swim center, we may end up driving to Hillsboro instead. Parents, pay attention if you bring your kid here for lessons.

Kids swimming lessons are marked by lack of progress and the occasional middle aged man showering naked with the kids. I think its his grin that bothers me the most.
