I went to the San Bruno location today, and waited for about 10 minutes for someone to talk to about enrolling my 3 year old daughter. Nobody had time, so we sat down and watched for a while. After a few more minutes my daughter got antsy and I tried again to talk to a staff member. Her demeanor was somewhere between unfriendly and hostile. Another patron who stood next to me shook her head and said she could not believe how rude the staff is, and that I should not feel singled out, and assured me the teachers are really nice... I don't think we'll find out, I'm not going back to this place.

excellent teachers
albeit pricy
but you pay for what you get
better instruction than you would get at a community or recreation park program but you pay the price
indoor pool

My daughter and I love our weekly Baby and Me class. We swim at the Half Moon Bay location, but will be starting at the new San Francisco location in June. I actually learned to swim at La Petite Baleen myself, so it's fun that my daughter is a second "La Petite" swimmer. The teachers and staff are real professionals who clearly love what they do.

My son looks forward to going to his swim classes. We are in the toddler class so it gives more bonding time. Our instructor (Aprile) is wonderful, patient and kind. The classes are so much fun the children learn through play.

This swim school is the best. If you don't mind the drive it is worth every penny. They keep their pool at 90 degrees too so the kids to not complain about getting in.
