About
Clean and safe, family-friendly place featuring swimming lanes and lessons for adults and kids.
The competition pool at the Sanford Seminole Aquatic Center is typically heated to a comfortable range of 78-82°F (25.5-27.7°C), ideal for training and events. The recreation pool is generally maintained at a slightly warmer temperature, often around 80-84°F (26.6-28.8°C), for family-friendly use and comfort.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility generally receives positive feedback for its clean pool, friendly staff, and being a safe environment for all ages and families. One enthusiastic reviewer highly praised the swim lessons for their exceptional affordability and effectiveness in quickly building children's confidence and swimming skills, noting the sweet and professional demeanor of the young coaches. However, there are significant criticisms regarding operational inconsistencies, particularly unannounced early closures on Saturdays, often without clear reason, which causes disappointment for visitors. Additionally, a detailed negative review highlighted issues with swim classes, including poor coach communication, too many students per instructor, excessively fast skill progression without adequate practice or support for beginners, and an uncomfortably cold pool temperature, starkly contrasting with the positive lesson experience.

Not my first time swimming there. It's been some years but glad I chosed to attend my Ole High School to go and swim to do my 5 mile challenge swim for St. Judes Children's Research Hospital, my relatives that have gone on due to illnesses and my journey to keep cancer from flaring up. So I really enjoyed myself and got in just a few like Top Model pics at the same time and get my Stella groove back lol. I will be attending some of these swim meets for now on. I've always watch the Olympic Style since a kid and now more interested in seeing my Ole school with the new generation of kids. All smiles and All Hail! Seminole High All Hail!!!!!

O.M.G.!!!! Looooovvvvvveeeeeee it!!! The swim lessons here are the cheapest by FAR! $35-40 for 2 WEEKS of lessons!!! Unheard of! But not only that it's located near the Seminole swimteam and they REALLY teach the kids to swim WELL!!! I mean you can tell the difference in ONE day!!! Unlike some other swim learning centers, where they seem to hold the kids back, just to prolong lessons. The confidence of my kids swimming ability is priceless!!! From petrified to this! The swim Coaches are super sweet and young, I wish mine was a little more forthcoming with the kids behavior, because my other kids told me how poorly one of my kids was behaving. So I guess, it's literally based on interpretation, my kids know my expectations so WE thought my child's behavior was unacceptable, where as the Coach was very jovial and sweet and appeared to careless. She definitely received better treatment at the next session accompanied with an apology. After observing some of the other kids, I understand why she felt it was such a minor behavior problem.So, their young, but also have a great temperament for children and they are extremely professional in spite of the kids behavior. Nonetheless, the lessons were amazing! We LOVE them and may ACTUALLY join the swim team! I wish it would let me upload video footage.

The pool is absolutely clean, and it is a safe place for all ages and families! The only thing is on Saturdays do not expect leaving work and run to have some fun and relaxing swimming for a little bit because the pool is not going to be open until 5pm (the information is saying it closes at 5pm) because they will close around 3pm, MOST Saturdays, even if absolutely don't even looks like it is going to rain a single drop, but this is what they are going to say to close it earlier. Pretty disappointed.

The swim classes were horrible. We signed up for level one, and they definitely were not level one. 1. The coach didn't talk to parents at all. Didn't get a feel for kids levels. 2. Gave some rules to kids, which the kids could barely hear and didn't listen to. There are too many kids for one coach. 3. There was no one on one support until back floating or kick board. 4. Skills were moved through way too fast with no time to focus or practice on anything. It was all one and done. 5. They progressed skills way too fast for day one of a level one class. They started with kicking while sitting on the side of the pool. Then , they all get in (where they couldn't touch) without any support or inowledge of kids' ability to get in while holding on the side. Coach was far away from any kid. Then they did blowing out their mouth one time, then blowing out nose one time, and then the entire head under and blow out mouth or nose. He didn't even check for correct blowing out for any kids. For one blowing out the nose is difficult for young kids. And putting their entire head under after practicing one time.... Also while they are by themselves with only other kids, where they cannot touch. Not all kids are willing or able to put their head under. Again no actual support given or attention to what they were doing. Then they did floating on their back one time. Then they did kickboard kicking one time. Then they get out to do cannonballs... day one of a level one class.... and when the class is over, the coach high tails it out of there so they don't have to talk to anyone. The pool was also beyond cold. It's a bit hard for beginner swimmers to focus or enjoy the water when it's that cold.
