Ages 2–18About this program
Independent member-owned family recreation club in Bellevue's Lake Hills neighborhood since 1958, with indoor, outdoor and wading pools. Group swim lessons run through preschool levels and Youth 1-6 for ages 2.5 to 12, plus Teens N Training for ages 13 to 18, parent-tot and private lessons, alongside a year-round swim team, pre-competitive lessons, summer diving and lifeguard training. Lessons are open to non-members, who pay a higher rate and register in a later window.
Long-time member families describe a genuine neighborhood community where staff know people by name, and praise the indoor, outdoor and wading pools, convenient evening hours and the path from swim lessons into summer camps and the swim team.
Reviews on Yelp and a BBB complaint record note the facility is old and showing its age, with recurring complaints about cleanliness of the bathrooms and locker rooms and occasional friction with front-desk staff.
