Anderson's Swim School

The teaching methods and wonderful instructors of Anderson's Swim School are highly effective. We were happy to see that the pool was inside and the water was very warm and that Anderson's has gone GREEN, in not using liquid chlorine in their pool, but using a saline system. It is much cleaner and gentler on your little ones skin, hair & eyes. Within two or three lessons, my 4 year old son, who previously would never put his face in the water, was swimming underwater and loving it! Having one teacher to one student really makes a difference. He progressed rapidly from there and has always been a strong swimmer for his age. If you are wondering whether Anderson's Swim School is worth the money, you can stop worrying. You have made the right choice. This family gives a thumbs up!

My son has been student at Anderson's for a few months. After 5 lessons, he is already swimming. I have never had a problem with the front staff. They have always been helpful to me and answer my questions. Bottom Line Parents: If you want your kids to learn how to swim, you take them to Anderson's

Front office staff - Lorrie - RUDE. I just called asking about the availability of two sets of time. She quickly answered and before I knew it, she hang up on me. HOW RUDE!!!!

I do realize I need to be going in person to sign up and pay. But before I do that, I need to get the schedule down. Well, she obviously did not have the time or attention to answer my questions. It was not a lengthy call, maybe just about 2 minutes, and before I knew it, she hang up. What a way to do business.

Am planning to enroll my child in another swim school.

Great teachers. My son is finally swimming thanks to the wonderful staff at Anderson's! There facility is newly remodeled and the warm 90 degree pool really makes a difference to young children just learning.

I must say great place to have a birthday party for your kids. I had a party at Andersons for my daughter and the kids loved it. It is a very warm indoor pool and a pizza place next door to continue the party.

The teaching methods of Anderson's Swim School are highly effective. Within a few lessons, my 3 1/2 year old daughter, who previously would never put her face in the water, was swimming underwater and loving it!

If you want your children to learn to swim from talented instructors Anderson's is the place! Our family enjoyed attending and look forward to returning for our next session.

PROS: Easy to get to from SF
CONS:

My 5 year old was afraid to put her head under the water. Within 7 lessons she was swimming across the pool! All the teachers are great, but if your lucky enough to get Sandy Anderson, she's the best!

What I like the best about Anderson's Swim is the personalized instruction they give your child and the customized schedules they make for the parents. They developed a swim schedule that fits my schedule, not theirs. My 4 year old daughter really enjoys her lessons and her instructors were all very friendly and patient.

PROS: Great Customer Service, Easy Scheduling, Patient Instructors
CONS:

All 3 of my children attend Anderson's Swim School and have done so for the past 3 years. With the one-to-one instruction the teachers take a real interest in the progress of their swimming skills. The written evaluations the parents receives after the lessons is a real plus is knowing what skills the children have mastered. A+ for Anderson's Swim School

PROS: Open all year- 7 days a week, very flexible, great customer service
CONS:

Instructors were excellent and my 6 year old son made astonishing progress in one week of private lessons.
I now recommend Anderson's Swim School to all of my friends. Anderson's made a real difference with my son!

PROS: Open 7 days a week, very warm indoor pool
CONS: School is so popular, they book up VERY early. Book in advance

For some GREAT swimming lessons we went to Anderson's Swim Center in Pacifica. I was so impressed with the teachers and especially the lady (Laurie) at the front desk scheduling the classes. They were all wonderful with my then-water-shy 4 year old twins. My kids really loved it and became swim lovers almost immediately. They also gave progress evaluations at the end of the swim sessions so the parents know what level their child is in.

PROS: Only 10 minutes from SF - Easy Parking
CONS:

My son was taking group swim lessons at the City Rec department and was still a non-swimmer and hanging onto a kickboard after a year . My friend told me about Andersons Swim School and after just 6 lessons they had him swimming by himself (no kickboard!). Anderson's Swim School made a huge difference in my son's swimming skills and being comfortable and safe in the water. I will highly recommend Andersons to my friends.

PROS: Speciallze in Beginners Fearful of Water
CONS:

Our kids ages 4 and 5 love to swim at Anderson's. We have tried other swim programs and have found that you won't be able to find any better swim instruction than at Anderson's Swim School in Pacifica.

We signed up our 3 kids, ages 4, 6 and 9 for Sunday swim lessons and we are so pleased with the results that our children have made. The facility has a very warm 90 degree indoor pool and has a great teaching staff. We will definitely recommend Andersons Swim School to all of our friends.

I was very impressed by the caliber of Anderson's
teaching staff and the quick progress made by both of my
sons, ages 4 and 9. We definitely be back in the spring.

My kids have been taking swim lessons at Anderson's Swim School since they were three years old. The individualized lessons are fantastic and the instructors are exceptional when it comes to working with young children. Because of the personalized attention my children have
never been afraid of the water or of trying something more advanced. I was very impressed with their ability to work with both beginners and more experienced swimmers. My 11 year old can't wait until he is old enough take scuba diving lessons and both my kids are considering joining
the local swim team. Anderson's is also very accomodating when working with your schedule and in making last minute changes--awesome customer service.
