Solar Swim & Gym

I use to go here as a kid it’s a very great and clean looking place and definitely makes you feel good being there.

Clark and Ingrid run an extremely clean gym. My kids take swim lessons there. I love how they don’t baby my kids. First off, my daughter, the youngest and only girl, has a very difficult temperament. A lot of teachers baby her, hoping that will help. It will not. She will continue to have a difficult temperament. They attitude is very straight forward. In two months, my under-​3-​years-​old daughter was basically swimming 25 yards, knowing to turn onto her back to get air if she is struggling, then back on her front again. My two sons learned freestyle and back stroke. They all can swim very well, and I no longer have to worry about them in the pool. Second of all, the entire gym is absolutely clean, especially the pool. This makes me feel comfortable! I am sooooooo grateful that my kiddos can swim comfortably, even with me in arm’s length. :)

Clark and Ingrid run a spotless, professional business. I have been to many gyms, and this one, by far, is the cleanest. I appreciate that members who use the pool must shower before entering the water which is crystal clear and a fabulous Mediterranean blue. There is no film of sunscreen nor hairballs floating on this pool!
The women’s locker room is tidy, toasty in the winter, and refreshingly cool in the summer, and again, exceptionally clean.
I love the competitions with the posters showing progress located in the lobby. If one swims 50 miles in a year, the member earns an sharp-​looking, fun t-​shirt with the Solar Swim & Gym logo on it which Ingrid designs. It’s motivating! The annual Awards Luncheon is a warm, friendly gathering with a fabulous healthy lunch menu creating and cooked by Ingrid. It’s amazing!
My daughter took lessons at Solar Swim & Gym, and I agree with Cherie S.‘s observation — the lessons are structured and professional. I understand that not all personalities are a good match, so one can request an instructor one feels may better suit one’s child’s needs. A child will learn to feel confident in the water and develop the healthy, life-​long love of swimming.
The young employees are energetic, knowledgeable, beyond helpful, cheerful, and super polite. Raul was especially encouraging and started me on the path to eliminate my «muffin top» with specific exercises. Destiny is always the epitome of a professional, positive employee.
I have nothing but great things to say about this hidden gem!

My granddaughter was learning to swim at this school but we had to pull her out and demand a refund.
Ingrid’s behavior have always been appalling when we enrolled in the program her behavior was so abusive so we requested that her husband teach the class.
But the end of the line came when she called my granddaughter and another child of color an idiot.
This type of abusive behavior is absolutely unacceptable and will never be tolerated, what she failed to see was that the people/​parents who sit around and accept this type of behavior and say nothing are the idiots.
This school is 0 stars, its equivalent to taking your child to the daycare where the operator is a convicted pedophile who helps the neighborhood kids.
Ingrid is from another dimension, the parents have accepted her abusive draconian behavior so she thinks that its ok to continue to operate in this manner, those who witnessed this type of behavior and doesn’t stand up for the child are a bunch of codependents enablers.
Its time to show our children value. there are many places for your child to learn how to swim.
And this place is not one of them.

its clean, everything is clean and the people are great. I love it and miss it. Better than the big box gyms.

My son is a fish — but even so, this place is great for kids.
Clark and Ingrid (social graces not their biggest forte) know what they are doing and get the best out of the kids.
Very happy we found this place and can honestly say your kids could not be in better hands!

We just celebrated our son Ryan’s 11^th Bday there and it was a blast, a lot of parents didn’t even know this place existed, we’re sure glad we pick them for his bday celebration.
After they got tired of swimming they played basketball, ping pong, they were jumping and back to swimming.
They provide bbq pits and even provide the charcoal.
Ingrid and Clark were really accomodating to our needs.
No complaints here.

So you want your kid to learn to swim, then you’ve come to the right place. Solar Swim & Gym or as it is better known to locals — ‘C’ St. — is a right of passage. This is where you go to learn to swim if you really want to learn. Ingrid coached the local high school diving team for years so she knows how to get a kid in the water and how to get the best out of them. For those of you who are looking for a bit more mild mannered then Ingrid’s husband Clark is the way you’ll want to go. Take your kids here and by the end of summer they will be swimming like frogs. ee
