  The swimming section of this club is the worst place to take your child to learn swimming. Please do not waste your time and money at this swimming club.
  I have been taking my daughter to the swimming classes at this club since June 2016 to Jan 2017.
  On Jan 29th 2017 I am ending my 3rd session and I will never return to this club or recommend this place to anyone ever.
  They do not heat up the pool properly, the water temp never raises above 77-78 degrees especially during the winter when is freezing outside.
  During the winter most of the times the room with the pool is not heated and water is dripping every where from the ceiling creating lost of water puddles in the area where parents are supposed to sit down and/or change the babies (and even more crazy is the fact that the reception is advising you to place newspapers over the water and sit down).
  The pool room door never closes (it’s broken and you need to have muscles of steel to push it closed), and because of that, during the fall and winter seasons, all the cold temp from outside lobby gets inside the pool cooling even more the already cold water. My daughter (who is only 20 months) and most of the babies in the class are constantly shivering while in the water, and very often get a cold right after leaving this place. I heard many mothers complaining that their baby got really sick because of the cold water.
  The bathrooms and the changing area make you feel that you are in third world country (dirty, complete lack of hygiene, entrance door does not close at all).
  After several complains to Ms. Gladys Reyes (the manager or director) addressing to her these issues nothing improved; she always argues that everything is ok and the temp is 83 degrees (when in fact I have photos showing the thermometer indicating 77 degrees). She is never willing to addresses any of these issues to be fixed and most the times she doesn’t even bother to reply my emails.

  Our two boys ages 7 & 11 took Learn to Swim classes in Boys & Girls Club located in Astoria and LOVED every second of it! Instructors were patient and very friendly so they looked forward to attending swimming classes. The Aquatics Director is always very helpful and trying to accommodate parents and kids with desired time slots as well as addressing any questions or concerns.
  Our boys as well as our 14 year old daughter, moved on to B & G Club's swimming team called Vipers. The team has an awesome coach who is great on so many levels. He pushes kids to perform with such sportsmanship. We feel truly blessed to be a part of Boys & Girls Club Aquatics Program. Go Vipers !!!
