David Powell: Nice pool for lane swim

Rayna D: Good place

Paul Grandgeorge: Friendly staff and great pool to go do some laps!

Stephanie LaCasse: Get to take the kids swimming. They could use a swimming suit spinner, for drying out the suits when your done.

Chundong Wang: If they provided the hot shower, this would be 5 star! Great location, full size pool!

Geoff Nelson: A bit dated, but works fine for your lap swim. 25-yard pool, 6 lanes, 2 diving boards. Be sure to check the frequently-changing pool schedule before you go.Lessons are quite crowded and can be hit or miss depending on which instructor you child ends up with.

Jorge Vilches: Great staff, and a clean pool!

J.T. Altschull: Love this place. Been swimming here since it opened in 1977.

Peter Makosi: My kids enrolled for swimming classes we are excited great pool nice people

Debi Grace: I attend water aerobics and love the instructors.

Shrikant Prabhu: Love this pool for my kids . No need to book in advance but timings can vary all of sudden so call before you go every time

Lucy Pearce: I’m taking adult swim classes here to improve my technique and learn front crawl. Our teacher Oliver is the best! I had to call out sick tonight and they give you a pass to practice at an open swim session. Wish there were more private changing stalls but that’s a small inconvenience. The water is warm too. The front desk person is lovely. And if you are into the nostalgia of going to a pool as a kid in the 80s, this fulfills that.

Robert Finley: Water aerobics class is nice..Good instructor and great location.

Robin B: Great pool

Roberta Gigi Carr: Did my survival class here. Nice and clean.

Chris Turner: Love the people and the pool. The only problem I have is that when the water exercise instructor is called to fulfill lifeguard duties or is out sick we get to the pool only to find that we need to turn around and go home. It's very frustrating. I don't live near the pool so it's an odyssey to get there. They used to let us stay and do our own water exercise at no charge when there was a problem with the class but the last month if you want to do that they still charge which seems unreasonable to me.

Richie Magpayo: Kiddo taking swim lessons here. He loves it. Old facility but still great with an awesome staff of lifeguards, swim instructors, and helpful reception people.Plenty of parking, clean restrooms.

Raymar Maranon: Nice and clean pool! Staff is friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

Kalyan Meola: Friendly people, easy access on public transportation, and a lovely pool!

Seth Nguyen: Staff were super friendly, bathrooms were surprisingly clean which was a plus, shower water was hot and had soap, and the pool itself was pretty spacious with 2 diving boards, a rope, and floaties provided. The place comes with stuff to store small valuables for free and a larger locker for 25 cents, but felt safe enough to just leave my stuff on the bench next to everyone else's belongings. Both people and staff were respectful, and compared to other pools I've been to, the chlorine wasn't an issue/too strong so long as you rinsed before and after in the shower. All in all, a great first experience, surely coming back!

Maggie Vinyard: Great pool - lap swim mid-day is usually active but not crowded. Lovely sauna included with visit free as well.

Sheen Hunter (#SheenTV! #SeattleFreeze): This place is the best haunted pool in all of Washington State. A great place to swim if you can get pastthe door.

Sydney G.: This place feels like a hidden gem. My boys love open swim. The lifeguards are awesome.

Chris Pleg: Great class for kids learning how to swim . And the pool temp is not too hot or cold.

Terry Barksdale: Great place for senior swim and aerobic workout are those of us with tender. A great crew!

Gabe Sandreth: Outstanding lifeguards and facilities

John Michael Yasutake: Hidden gem!!

Troy Kaser: The swim lessons here are great. The instructors are great with the kids.

MX T.: Staff are very friendly, very clean water, I don't smell bleach like other pool. I swim 2-3 times per week. I hope they will open Saturday and Sunday during Fall quarter and long hours during weekdays like Summer quarter. I miss movies on Friday night they offered before Covid.

Cartier Rowlette: Haven't been to Medgar Evers pool since I was a kid, took my grandson for the first time, and he throughly loved it. Will be coming back soon. 💯👍🏿

Shane Wiseman: Я просто хожу в сауну, там здорово.Единственная проблема заключается в некорректном онлайн-расписании и политике занятий по плаванию.Если идет занятие, вы по какой-то причине не можете воспользоваться сауной.А поскольку в онлайн-расписании не отображается большинство занятий, то, возможно, вам вообще не удастся воспользоваться бассейном или сауной.Я рекомендую сфотографировать расписание занятий, вывешенное на стене бильярдной, оно точное.

David Harrison: Зимой просторная парковка. Не знаю, будут ли проблемы летом.

Irene S: The staff here are the best! And such an awesome park location! It's okay to park further away in the neighborhood. And there is a nice sauna if you enjoy that like I do!

Hao Do: Dahir is an amazing lifeguard and his customer service is phenomenal. Makes me feel welcome here. 10/10, supervisor must promote.

Hamida Rawls: . Remember to either pre purchase a lap swim card or have exact change!

susan mitzel: is awesome. We all love him so much. Very clean the whole facility. 👌

rayyaan hassan: Best waterpark

Nigel Barron: Really nice pool with plenty of daylight.

elvira castillo: Wonderful instructors. My daughters have loved learning here and I’m amazed by their progress in a short period of time.

Anna Artamonova: It was a really fun experience. I got my lifeguarding certification, and the instructors taught us everything really well and efficiently. Sam was a very informative instructor, and Brian was very helpful during the pool section of the lessons. I learned a lot, and I am very grateful to the staff for teaching us and helping to get my certification!

Jesse Dannenbring: They have done great work helping our child get over their swimming fears, and built up their confidence in the water!

Alicia Lee: 1:1 lesson is really the way to go for kids to learn how to swim. I have 3 boys learning how to swim currently and I love their established curriculum as well as all their instructors who are all very good with kids and teaching them how to swim. I also appreciate their transparent scheduling system and very organized manner that the whole program is ran which can only result from staff who are dedicated and experienced in the business. I plan on getting the boys in the program until they are "swim team ready".

Jenn Lin: The pool is great, just the right temperature. The staff are friendly and helpful. We always have a great time!

Bethany Smoltz: We are so grateful S&S is open during this crazy time. Having a safe, healthy outlet for my son has been truly wonderful. The instructors are amazing. They seem to provide the right level of encouragement to help my son achieve his goals. It's been fun to watch his progression and overall water confidence grow.

C C: Precise individualized instruction and a positive environment.

Lindsay S: Our 3-year-old daughter went from being terrified of the water to safely swimming. We've worked with both Molly and Hilary as coaches. They are excellent at what they do and artfully balance building confidence and helping kids work through new/uncomfortable experiences in the water.

Vishal Sethia: , and I can confidently say that she's absolutely exceptional. Stef embodies patience and encouragement like no other. She possesses the remarkable ability to understand precisely where you are in your swimming journey and meets you there, making every lesson feel tailor-made.Stef's motivation is truly infectious, driving you to give your best. What sets her apart is the homework she assigns, which proved instrumental in helping me improve significantly. Her teaching style is remarkable, as she breaks down techniques into easily digestible morsels, ensuring you not only understand but can execute them in the water.One thing you can always count on with Stef is her warm smile, which welcomes you every session and immediately puts you at ease. Thanks to her unwavering support and guidance, I went from having a fear of the water on day one to confidently swimming on my own in just eight classes. At 35 years old, it's an accomplishment I never thought possible, and I owe it all to Stef's expertise and encouragement. She's an absolute gem of a swim coach, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to embark on their own aquatic journey.I would also like to thank SwimGuru that made it possible for me to connect with an excellent swim coach and schedule my sessions based on my availability and comfort.

Christopher Sanford: Brenda was an excellent teacher of me as an adult learner. She was patient, positive, pragmatic.August 2023. Just had four lessons--with Hillary, Brenday, Nick. All were helpful, supportive, constructive.

Hana Cho: Just had our first lesson with Hillary. It was wonderful. Little is afraid of her head going into the water but Hillary was so calm and soothing and the first 15 minute lesson was hard but daughter came out being proud she dunked her head in 5 times. Every kid is different but we feel we needed this method for our pandemic kid as we weren't equipped to teach her ourselves and we are so happy with Hillary. Yes, 15 minute lessons are annoying to drive to and from, but I do see how that delivers the max amount of exertion and mental capacity for my kid. Looking forward to the other lessons. Money very well spent!

Eric Stobin: Helen and Emma are excellent swim instructors! It has been so exciting to see my 4 and 6 year old learn how to swim in just a few classes. The instructors, Helen and Emma, are absolutely wonderful. they both are excellent with their communication skills and are able to keep both boys calm when they are scared or are about to cry. both Coach Helen and Coach Emma have a gift for teaching swimming. It feels like a great investment since we feel it is important to teach water safety at a very young age. both boys can float and swim and attend classes at LA Fitness or Underwater Sports, both places very close to each other on Hwy 99. again, I am extremely impressed with their ability, skills and professionalism to provide quality instruction to our kids. Our kids now love both coaches and look forward to swim class twice a week. we are extremely happy with Swim Guru and feel very lucky to have found such excellent instructors who are great at teaching kids the basics of swimming and floating. It's money well spent and we are extremely happy at Swim Guru.

Candice Boley: take 1:1 lessons at Swim Guru since spring 2021, mostly at Underwater Sports, and also the N Seattle LA Fitness

Rory McAuley: Swim Guru has been a great experience for us and our kids! They are 6 and 9 years old and have made so much progress with their coaches Tiegan and Emma at the Mukilteo location. They have developed positive attitudes toward swimming, improved their skills, and are now able to be safe and confident in the water.

Sandy Tseng: Swim Guru is one of those places that one feels happy to discover and lucky that a place like this exists in the area. Living in a city like Seattle, surrounded by water, my husband and I wanted our kids to learn to swim at a young age. Our son's preschool frequents Green Lake, and it gives us peace of mind to know that he has survival swimming skills. He started taking classes in October 2017, and before the holidays, he had already passed a clothing test. Previously, he was terrified of putting his head underwater, and now he is almost ready to snorkel with us in a few weeks! Earlier this month, he went through a brief period of regression when he was suddenly fearful of swimming one day out of the blue. Coach Carol and Coach Brenda did everything in their knowledge and power to address his fear immediately before it became the new normal. Efforts were made to make swimming fun again by bringing toys back into the picture. They stopped working on new skills and went back to basics. They had me get into the pool with him. Since he connected most with Coach Brenda, arrangements were made for him to have Coach Brenda each time he was scheduled for a lesson. I never even requested the switch, and I don't know if anyone was inconvenienced as a result, but it really helped to have consistency during his struggles. Swim Guru went out of their way for my son to have a positive experience again. It was just over and beyond my expectations, and their dedication to their cause makes their swim program exceptional. Moreover, in my observation, what is just as impressive as their ability to teach swimming skills is the coaches' understanding of a child and his emotional needs. None of my son's cries or fears were dismissed. Brenda kept talking him through it and somehow won him back to enjoy swimming again in less than two weeks. Who can understand the mind of a three-year-old who swims like a fish for months and then cries and declares he doesn't want to swim the next day? Not me, the parent, but apparently the coaches at Swim Guru can. They were so understanding and patient with him in building his confidence back. They even had suggestions about what we could do outside of lessons. These coaches are highly trained and experienced professionals who have gone through rigorous and extensive training. They are not college students working part-time. I'm grateful to the whole amazing team of coaches for their dedication, patience and gentle firmness in their teaching. As a mom who swam competitively in a past life and holds a deep love and regard for the ocean, I've always wanted to share my love of swimming with my son. Now thanks to Swim Guru, I can see that dream becoming a possibility! I would give Swim Guru my highest recommendation without reservation for anyone who is considering swim lessons.

McKenzie Brickl: Amazing - teaches kids safety first, then technique. We are so impressed by everything our girls have learned in a short period of time.

Yuzo Watanabe: Both of our kids learned how to swim quickly with Coach Carol and Kat. A bit on the pricey side, but worth it.

Lala: Great building and amenities, friendly staff, central location

Carlie Phillips: Basic neighborhood indoor pool. Offers a good range of times for classes, lap swims, and open swim. The hottub/spa is only 2 feet deep. Lockers in bathrooms.

Ella Barsky: Отличный бассейн - чистая, ухоженная вода и душ/раздевалки. Персонал очень дружелюбный.

Yaneth Lovo: Love the pools for the kids

Gus Rinehart: Good

L L: Great place to swim

P DH2: Great pool to come hangout at and swim with my family.

Johnny Ray: Great community pools that is a hit with the kids. The older kids swim in the larger pool while the younger kids tend to stick with the smaller, warmer pool. They have classes for all ages and the staff is friendly.

Laural Miller-Klein: Lovely outdoor swim lessons.

Johana Warrick: This was the very first place I swam when I was a few months old 22 years ago. I haven't been able to leave the water ever since. There is nothing better than the water. I remember taking my very first swim lessons with my 1x1 instructor... Later went to Queen Anne Pool since he had moved there, but still plenty of good memories at this pool

Dave Horn: These people teach me grandkids, and they are wonderful. The teachers, I mean. And obviously the grandkids as well. But, the teachers. Gentle, kind, and the kids really learn to be confident in the water. And under the water.

lindsey beadle: fall under hidden gem category: pools in people's backyards where you can take lessons

Jameison Snyder: 5 minutes from my house. Going to check it out.😎 Hollywood James reporting on Google maps community

Dusty Jewett: Our 5yo and 2yo love their lessons! I didn't think 15 minutes would be enough, but it's just right!

Matt Perrone: Little Fish is a local swim school that has a few locations, but this one is in Northgate. There are a few parking spots outside that you can't miss, along with lots of street parking. A few signs and a fish statue lead the way to the backyard of the house where the pool is. It's pretty well kept as it's under a greenhouse structure. They have a bathroom and changing room available right next to it. The staff here are super nice and try to keep the schedule on time. They definitely help kids get used to the water all the way up to practicing certain strokes or moves. Would highly recommend a few lessons here for young ones.

Alberto Lovo Rojas: Super fun

Mx Paolone: Family Swim Time with our three year old and the first time with our quarantine baby. Relaxing and so much fun.

Andrew Seidl: This place is absolutely delightful. It's a beautiful set up in a quiet neighborhood so expect less "YMCA" and more "nice little pool inside a comfortable enclosure surrounded by beautiful gardens". In these troubled times they are making the pool available for individual groups to use alone and hence safely, so we did not meet the staff. However, judging by their signage and arrangements for changing, etc, I expect they are very polite, considerate, and very concerned for their guests' safety. I haven't been swimming since before covid, and this was the best return to the water I could have hoped for.

Josie Zocco: Emily and her instructors give one-on-one swim lessons all year round in a safe, kind, and productive environment. My son has been taking lessons here for all nearly 2 years and he's learned basic strokes, breathing techniques, and most importantly the love of water and swimming! Emily and her team come highly recommended - 5 stars! Bonus: the pool is nice and warm!

Sheronita: We love little fish and my little fish couldn't be happier getting his lessons here. Since he is so comfortable in the water, having the lesson personalized to him makes it so much more effective. Emily and all her instructors do an awesome job.

Troy Edwards: The "bubble" at swim school keeps the lessons going in winter.

Arif Saygi: I brought my child here for beginner swimming training and now he is at level 2. His progress so far has been pretty good. Swimming instructors are competent and most importantly, they give my child confidence. Confidence is a very important concept for children who are learning to swim. I hope that by next summer my child will not only learn to swim, but I think he will progress considerably.

hannie: great swim lessons.

Eastsound Suites: The staff at Mary Wayte Pool are fantastic! Great community.Love the deep water fitness class with Daniel and lap swim.

Edwin Yuen: This is a nice facility with good spectator room and a great pool facility. Parking is a little bit restricted but still usable.

Tova Tangeman: Bare bones, but it's perfect for what it is. A neighborhood pool with a kind and helpful staff.

Ashley Price: My son loves coming to swim lessons here! Richard and Imagen are both great swim teachers. When my son first started here back in November he didn’t even want any water near his face and now he loves going under water!

Lynard Burt: Very good instructors, great response from our Granddaughter, in learning and likes the instructors and has done exceptionally well in her progress

Chelsey Pinke: We love this swim school! My 3yo is making slow but steady progress in the hands of kind and gentle teachers who aren’t pushing him too far too fast. He looks forward to his lessons every week and is so proud of his accomplishments. The facility is warm and welcoming, always clean, with lots of changing rooms. The staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful. All around fantastic experience.

Joe Silva: usually loves swim class but was reluctant to get in the water for her lesson today. Her instructor, Artem

Leah Nguyen: My kid loves it here because it's always so warm, safe and fun.
