Pattullo Swim Center

I actually love the whole look and feel of the swim center. Not crowded whatsoever. Excellent instructors! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! The classes are small, so there is a lot of one-​on-​one instruction.
My girlfriend didn’t know how to swim before taking lessons (other than to dolphin kick from one end of the pool to the other), and she learned how to freestyle and tread water in one set of lessons. Now, she is on her third set of lessons, and she swims like a pro! She considers herself a mermaid. Lol.
I’m on my second set of lessons, and I can say that my form has definitely improved! I’m even more comfortable in the water which was a big issue for me. I am a marathon runner and cyclist and I wanted to get a good grasp of swimming before venturing into triathlons. Thank you for the AWESOME advice Pattullo Swim instructors! =)

A little on the funky side but excellent classes especially by Mr. Mike who taught my twins how to swim then took them through three consecutive levels.
The teachers are all red cross certified instructors. Compared to the Sport Center, Patullo gives your child far more one-​on-​one instruction. They are big on safety but always incorporate lots of fun.
My midgets learned great tecnique and feel totally confident in the water, thanks to a solid year of swim lessons here. In the summer they went every morning at 8:00 for six week long sessions. Very effective! Great prices too.
If you can get past the fact that they need to remodel, you’ll find an amazing resource for the community and your kids will love it.
My kids developed a love of the water and a lot of confidence. For that I’m very grateful!

Think Swimming! Then, Go For It!
Indoor pool has all kinds of activities available, for all age groups. Older building and facilities are still sufficient for a good workout. Seaside residents and other groups get discount on already very reasonable fees. Do call first, to check for schedules. Very friendly staff member «Bill» will fill you in on the rules. Great low impact exercise for all. Let’s have some fun!
