Happy Member...and I am sure I am not the only one!  5 Star Rating - World class

I have had nothing but great experiences at Samena Swim & Recreation Club. It was my understanding that the indoor pool will be closed this fall for a final phase of renovation to the indoor pool area. But the rest of the facility will be open and operating as usual such as the fitness room, outdoor pool, preschool, family events,and the before and afterschool care programs. This family oriented facility has been the gem of the Lake Hills area and has provided many families with a place to spend quality time in a safe environment. It has been my experience that when I have had an issue or a concern that management has always been receptive and willing to remedy my situations. My advice to the previous reviewer is to contact the general manager directly if they are feeling this dissatisfied and afford the club the opportunity to resolve this matter, or even the board of directors if they felt the need. Sounds like someone may have caught someone on a bad day. My kids learned to swim at Samena and it is the best swim lesson curriculum in the greater Seattle area! I love it and have always found the staff very easy to deal with.

Samena ABUSES its members!!!  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

We JUST joined Samena and 2 months later find out that the place will be closed all winter long for a new addition. We WERE NOT TOLD, and when we discussed this with them that we no longer wanted to be members b/c the whole reason for joining was for the indoor pool - we were treated VERY poorly.
The facility is nice (but aging), but its the STAFF that really is bad. The front desk treats you like you are bothering them, since they are older ladies who love to gossip amongst themselves and hate to be interrupted or bothered by members... and when I went upstairs to the 'offices' I was treated very gruffly by some rather large woman who told me to go downstairs and leave a note, though, when I went back down, they told me -they do not take messages!!
The wading pool for kids is always crowded, the swim lesson instructors are young, and always checking the clock to go...overall if I could do it again, I would not have joined.

Great Value  4 Star Rating - Very good

I know so many people who have gone to this club since they were children and now to there with their own children. It is a great value, has recently updated facilities and offers a wide variety of programs for the whole family. A super alternative to chain fitness clubs, as this is a great place that caters to the whole family.

A great place with activities for the whole family.  5 Star Rating - World class

This is a very family-centric place. There are activities for family members of all ages. It is a great place to network and get to know your community neighbors better. They offer nice swimming facilities, activity rooms and clean locker rooms. This is a great place to hang out on a rainy day (of which we have quite a few).

Family friendly small town atmosphere  5 Star Rating - World class

This is a great club with a tight knit community in it and a family friendly environment. It may have a small town atmosphere but the equipment and the trainers of top of the line.

The best value in town  5 Star Rating - World class

Samena is a great family swimming and recreation club and the best value in the area. The club strives to cater to whole families with activities for all ages including a wonderful pre-school for 3-5 yr olds.
