Fremont Swim School
My family’s particularly horrible experience with Fremont Swim School makes me inclined to warn others in Fremont against choosing this swim school. The advertisment you may have seen shows a happy child swimming alone in a spacious pool. The impression this ad gives couldn’t be further from the reality. When we first arrived we were dismayed to see a crowded pool filled with what looked liked 30 children of all ages in and around the pool. Chaos.
My son’s “swimming instructor” couldn’t have been more than 13 or 14 and immediately proceeded to have my son attempt to swim the length of the pool multiple times using a floatation device without the normal lessons on holding your breath, floating, kicking… nothing. Seeing my son struggle to breath and keep his head above water, I immediately stopped the lesson and asked for my money back. The teenager manning the desk said the person I needed to talk to was on vacation for two weeks. When I called back, nobody knew anything.
Fremont Swim School is a poorly run, possibly unethical company, offering a poor service. Don’t subject your precious children or yourself to this business.
