I was so excited to try LA Surf and Swim after hearing good things from other moms, but honestly our experience wasn’t great. Hygiene and Cleanliness: On our very first lesson, there were two big dogs walking around the facility. One of them had diarrhea literally right next to my husband’s foot.

We have been coming to LA Surf and Swim for 2 years. Coach Syd and Coach Sammy have been amazing.

By far the most fun, caring swim teachers around! Having worked one-on-one with multiple coaches, the owner, and managers, it's easy to see why LASS is so popular amongst local families.
