We’ve been with Waterworks since 2019, and all three of my kids have had the joy of swimming with Francisco. My two older children are currently in Stroke Clinic, and my youngest son has been taking lessons with Francisco for over a year now. I honestly can’t recommend him enough. He truly loves kids and has a natural gift for making them feel comfortable in the water. He has such a fun and creative way of explaining things that keeps my kids fully engaged. He’s incredibly sweet and patient, and my youngest trusted him very quickly—even when he first started swimming at just one year old! Now, my son is completely at ease in the water, which means so much to me. Water safety is absolutely essential in our family because we spend a lot of time at the pool and beach. As a parent, I feel more confident knowing my kids are learning to be safe and confident in the water—thanks to Francisco, who truly cares about them.

Located in a nice area of Campbell the staff is really nice instructor was very sweet and very gentle with him. I enjoyed that you could have play time before and after his lessons to get extra energy out. My only big complaint is the parking. The spaces look big enough but they actually feel very small ones to try to get the door open and you have very little space to maneuver

My son has been going for waterworks for about a year. Manny was his instructor for a year and he loved the way Manny taught him lessons. He wouldn’t focus too much on techniques initially and then slowly introduce more and more techniques. This really helped my son.

We've had an incredible experience at Waterworks Aquatics Swim School and highly recommend it! With three kids, scheduling can be a nightmare, but Ms. Melissa at the front desk has been an absolute lifesaver. She's incredibly accommodating and always goes above and beyond to help with our various scheduling requests and changes. Her patience and willingness to work with us have made a huge difference. And a huge shout-out to Coach Alec! He has coached all three of our kids, and we've seen remarkable progress. He's fantastic at polishing their strokes and consistently pushes them to reach their full potential. What's even more impressive is how he taught our youngest from absolutely zero to slowly mastering the butterfly stroke – a truly amazing transformation! The entire team at Waterworks Aquatics creates a positive and effective learning environment. If you're looking for a swim school that truly cares about its students and provides excellent instruction, look no further!

They have great customer service and swim instructor. Jonny, is a wonderful swim instructor. He was able to help my son progress in his swimming. He is very patient and is always in a great mood. He looks for his strengths and uses them to help him learn. After each session he debreifs and let's me know the progress he sees and what he will be working on for the next session. Definitely recommend. SideNote- He works great with non verbal autistic children
