Swimming instructor

FACILITIES are in good condition but the layout for the changing rooms is poor if you have a baby and are the only adult with them. There are no baby changing tables with a security belt in the main changing rooms (there is a large bay of change mats opposite the pool) so there isn't a safe place to secure them from rolling off while you change yourself. This layout only works if you have 2 adults, so one cares for baby while the other can get dry and dressed.INSTRUCTORS are pretty good and lessons are fun but teaching methods can be a bit inconsistent across teachers. Not a big deal but just something to be aware of. However, particularly the younger ones are very inconsiderate when off duty. They often sit on the walls so their feet would be where the parents heads would be if you want to sit on the benches, and they block off this space often by spreading out (putting their legs up etc).RECEPTION STAFF are most of the time quite rude and hard to get hold of. I've phoned 7 different times and they've only picked up once. They almost never greet anyone when they come it, they've got their heads down looking at the computer screen and can be hard to get them to answer you. It really doesn't take much to look up for a second and say hello to people as they come in.BOOKINGS you only get 1 make up for sickness a month (as they'll curtly remind you is part of their t&C's with no compassion) so, particularly if you have a baby or very young child you may miss far more than that especially in winter so the price per lesson rockets up. Even without that fact they are one of the most expensive swimming lesson businesses which after the above mentioned negatives doesn't make it worth it.PARKING is not enough at peak times as the classes are not staggered so allow another 10mins or so to park somewhere else and walk.

Awesome purpose built facility. After trying multiple swim schools we are so glad we found Jump Debbie & the team are clearly passionate about teach kids to swim & our kids loving going to swiming.

The most overpriced gym in the area.Firstly, the opening hours are NOT the same as advertised on the door. If you live in the nearby apartments and think you'll have time to use the gym or sauna after dinner, you're wrong.Secondly, don't bother paying for the sauna. Not only is the sauna constantly broken, missing heaters, or not turning on, the sauna also only gets to around 49 degrees.Third, the staff are extremely condescending. I took a personal trainer session and, despite being a quite fit rock-climber, the trainer insisted on teaching me how to do a pushup. When I explained that I wanted to learn how to use the weights and machines, I was told that I'd graduate to that after this session. It seemed clear that they'd string you along with degrading exercises until you pay for more sessions to learn something beyond primary-school PE.Don't confuse the quiet atmosphere for a judgement free, peaceful environment. I imagine the members are simply silently fuming at being locked into extortionate prices for a terrible gym.FYI, they never emailed me after the message below

The tutor is detailed in her descriptions of swimming techniques which enables me to understand clearly what I need to change to improve my own techniques.By the second lesson I've started on drills that have already made a noticable difference in the power of my arms pulling through the water.I'm very happy with the quality of the adult swimming lessons.

Excellent! My son loves swimming here. Wanted weekly swimming lessons but was informed about a 1 week booster course also. This was amazing for his confidence. And I love how the price/time is a lot more reasonable compared to the others.

We went to a birthday party there, it was brilliant. The kids enjoyed themselves immensely.

Clean facility, great friendly staff also kid friendly. Been swimming there for 35 odd years, always been the best.

Lovely team! Instructors are well-knowledged and give really good pointers to help keep you going. I spent ˜1.5 years learning here and always look forward to my classes!Adults, who are thinking about signing up, I say do it!

Best swimming school in Auckland! All instructors are so nice and professional, especially James B! My son is extremely cautious in water and needs lots encouragement. We can see his big process with James’s professional and patient guidance. Definitely will highly recommend SwimTastic to all my friends!

I've been attending Synergy Gym for a number of years now, this is a very supportive environment and the personal trainers are very good. The support I have received recovering from various injuries (not suffered during training) has been phenomenal.
