Noonan Family Swim School

There are two swim schools in this area but the other swim school’s schedule was so full, they did not have room for my kids.
I am glad we went with Noonan: the instructors are knoweledgeable and genuinely positive and caring. They are encouraging and patient, which is important especially since one of my kids is scared of the water and occasionally throws a tantrum.
The program is well-​organized with a primary emphasis on safety. The first skill taught in the baby class is survival swiming, which I think is essential. The levels are arranged by observable, concrete skills and kids are assessed monthly to gauge their progress.
The facilities are sparkling clean, well-​maintained, and accommodate all skill levels. The water is pristine and luxuriously warm.
The reception desk personnel work to ensure the program meets your needs and they are friendly and willing to work with you on billing and scheduling.
The only drawbacks are: the expense (the prices of all kids’ lessons are about the same, so this cost is not unique to Noonan) and the fact that the progress is slower than I thought it would be. We have been coming for 4 months and only 2 of my kids moved up one level, but it goes by the kids’ ability and willingness, so I don’t blame the school for this.

This place is awesome. My son was extremely afraid of the water and hated the thought of learning how to swim, until I brought him to Noonan. The teachers took their time with him and really gave him the confidence and skills he needed. He now loves to swim and looks forward to his class every week. The staff and teachers are all wonderful here, especially Luisa! I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great swim school!

What a wonderful swim school. Classes are small and so much individual attention. The teachers are wonderful with the kids. I would recommend to all parents.

I am so pleased with the progress my son has made swimming! He took the 2-​week summer program in July and followed that with weekly ½ hour lessons. We went on vacation in mid-​September and we couldn’t get him out of the pool! It was so nice to see him so comfortable in the water and we had such peace of mind watching him swim and float and tread water like a champ. We will be enrolling our younger son as soon as he is three!

I placed my daughter there for private lessons. I wasn’t too concerned with the price. I just wanted her instructor to be good and my daughter to be comfortable and progress. Ms. Lynnea was great! She was very patient and my daughter learned a lot. The waiting area is great. I also observed other kids and they were having so much fun and you can tell they learn a lot. The system of levels is good for the kids too.

We brought our 3 and 5 year old girls for one of their two week swim sessions. The teacher built trust with my girls immediately and they were excited to come every day. The deck supervisor updated us on progress each week. I read previous reviews where people said the teenagers working there were unprofessional, but I either had an exceptional experience or the owners corrected the issue. Another thing that is awesome is your whole family can come in on a Saturday and swim together for an hour from 12 to 1.

I enrolled my daughter a month ago into this Swim School. We just moved to a house with a pool and I wanted her to be able to swim in case she fell into the pool while playing. After 8 lesson (2 per week) my daughter has overcome her fear of getting her face wet and now «Loves» to swim. Her teacher, Miss. Meileh (?) and Miss. Alexa were patient with her and even though she was in a group class the teachers made time for one-​on-​one instruction. I highly recommend this company if you want your child to learn to swim or even an adult. They were very professional.

Overpriced with no consistency. We took our 3 ½ year daughter here to learn to swim. She started with one instructor and loved her, but day 3 she came in to another instructor with no reason why or even introducing the new swim teacher. This new instructor was not the same with my daughter so she stopped wanting to go.
Consistency is key for the little ones — especially when they are nervous in the first place.
Don’t waste your time here… they charge $ 71 for just one day a week. It will take forever to learn this way. Trust me, we made a huge mistake trusting Noonan.

We have been very pleased with all the instructors and the progress our child has made in the last year. They always take the time to communicate your child’s progress to you and know how to positively encourage your child to reach the next level. We would definitely recommend Noonan.

This place is great! The teachers are so friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend for swimming lessons!

I like Noonan Swim School because it is indoor and has 2 pools. A small one (heated) for toddler (which is the one my 21 month old takes lessons in) and a larger one.

This place is a gem! Both my 2 year old and 4 year old have made so much progress in their short time here. They learn safety first which makes me so much more confident taking them anywhere with a pool. After only a few months my 4 year old can almost swim on his own, and rocks the swimming underwater to the stairs or edge. I couldn’t be more happy with Noonan family swim school and highly recommend it. So do my kids, they love their swim lessons and are always excited for them!!!

My daughters have been going to Noonan for 3 years. The coaches explain each stroke step-​by-​step in a way that’s easy for children to understand. The facility is open morning and night, the pool is heated, and every Saturday they have FREE Open Swim for registered students and their parents from 12p-​1p. For younger children they teach life-​saving techniques so the child is able to safely get out of the pool if he/​she was to fall in. I recommen Noonan to all my friends who ask about swimming lessons in the Murrieta/​Temecula area.

we kept our boys here for a few months after my last review, but eventually took them out. my two year old got bored when his instructor left and he was doing the same things every week. he still feels very comfortable in the water, which i think has a lot to do with the lessons he got early on, but when he got a new instructor she went backwards in what they were being taught. after a few months of it, we decided it wasn’t worth it anymore.
my 2 year old’s teacher was also the deck supervisor and so when she left our older son went several months without an evaluation, which meant little to no motivation for him. then his instructor missed one or two weeks and the woman he got as a make-​up was a little more rough. he wound up having nightmares about falling to bottom and dreaded swim class. nothing we did helped him over it and with our other son bored, we decided to cut it.
after being in class for so long, i had hoped to see a little more focus on teaching them to be safe if they did ever fall in, but there really wasn’t. i didn’t feel any safer with them around water after the lessons as i did before.

This school used to be ok but is going downhill and I no longer will be sending my children there. Judging by the managers comments on a conversation I had with her, Noonan is not an honest company which takes responsibility for their mistakes rather make excuse after excuse. If you have a child with certain medical conditions don’t expect them to consider it when teaching your child no mater how much they say they will. Anyone can talk a good game but actions speak louder than words and the the excuses given are very heartless and selfish. I would take my money elsewhere.

Brought my daughter here years ago and have returned for my 2 year old.
Front desk is ALWAYS friendly and helpful. Ms. Liana is a STELLAR instructor. Pool is clean and facility does not stink like other indoor pools we checked out. Water is clear and showers are warm.
I am very happy to be back.

So far I am pretty satisfied with the Noonan family swim program (we have been going about 3 months). I take the children I nanny here once a week and my children every other week. The swim school was willing to work well with my difficult schedule to get my children into swim. The only issue I had was while my son (3) was swimming a little girl was crying the entire time and the teacher was holding her the entire time so my son was standing on the dock, in the water, just waiting. Luckily he was a happy patient little guy but I was like «I’m paying for this?». The management said they were willing to work with my busy schedule to do a possible back to back make up classes for my son’s from when they missed due to being sick and the one time my three year old didn’t get to swim when the little girl was crying. It would have been better that the teacher just give the little girl back to her mom if she is crying as loud and long as she was. Luckily the next time around that little girl was happy and even went under the water fully. Yay!

This was a great school several years ago, but it has been going down hill slowly and all because of their terrible front desk girl. It is sad that just one person can change the family feel that this swim school once had. If you are looking to make a choice between establishments steer clear of this one until they have a huge sign that reads: «Under New Management»!

This is how you teach kids to swim! I’ve watched several nieces and nephews along with my own daughter become quite capable in the water at an early age. Excellent program.

We have been going to Noonan’s for a year and my daughter and granddaughter just loves it there! The teacher are very good at what they do. I’m very happy with the staff if and when I have a question they also have been very helpful. I do have to say it’s a little pricey but you always get what you pay for so I don’t mind paying the $ 70.00 a month.
