We have been going to Westbury since October. We actually just signed up for the biggest lesson package. We had Danny and he has been great. My daughter has shown great progress and loves going. For a 20/21 year old male he has shown great maturity and reliability. My niece also goes and her instructor has also been reliable. I can definitely see the potential for there to be a rotten apple in the bunch, but over all I see the same instructors there week after week and they all appear to be good at the basics. The only negat... read more

Ok if you get lucky – I love our instructor. She's great. But she is just about the only saving grace at this place. The cuddles and strokes class was a waste of time and money. Instructors sucked and were more interested in each other than the kids. Its really the one on one instuctor we work with that makes it all worth while. If she leaves so do we. Facilities are kind of gross and gloomy. Showers don't work, and the interior is industrial shabby at best. Rules are not observed as men enter the women's dressing room witho... read more

Great Experience – We have had a remarkable experience with the staff at the Westbury Saf-T-Swim location. From the moment we inquired about enrolling our son in classes the staff has been pleasant and helpful. We originally signed up for your Cuddles and Strokes class. We took this session with Jason and it was a fun class. My son and I loved spending each week in the pool together. After the session ended, we decided it was time to send our 2 1/2 year old son for individual lessons. We thought consistency would be best, so... read more

Whaaaa – FYI the swim teacher was fired. Now heis nerd raging about his job . As you can see by coment's, you wouldn't want him teaching your child which is why he is no longer an instructor. There are people with no jobs on long island right now, so im sure its insulting to people that at age 17 your ONLY making 9 bucks an hour and are crying about it. You mad bro?

Ex-Saf-t-Hell Employee – As a 17 year old employee of Saf-T-Swim I can assure you that we do not have any sort of fun "Swimming all year and still getting paid" if thats what they are calling our meager pay of 9 dollars an hour which translates to 4.50 for the half an hour spent with a lesson. Almost every instructor hates there job there and the 4 dollars 50 cents we are getting to deal with the kids(especially the ones that scream and cry and scratch) is not enough incentive for us to care at all. It isnt our business so w... read more

Class cancelled 4 weeks in row – We wanted private lessons for our kid to learn to swim and found this place. After one lesson, the teacher quited and we were informed half hour before the class starts. They said they would assign a new teacher next week. New instructor called a few days later and said he could not make it that week. One week later, the instructor called again and said there was an accident in the pool. The class was cancelled. We called the office and complained. The manager said they would assign a new ins... read more

Unhygienic and Unprofessional – The only reason I've been taking my children to Saf-T Swim in the past year and a half is because I haven't been able to find a place that offers private swimming lessons. I feel like we've been putting up with their lack of professionalism long enough and will never go back. I STRONGLY recommend against all of Saf-T Swim locations. I have tried a few and they're all the same. First, I don't know on how many occasions they never notified us when the lesson is cancelled. Sometimes due to snow d... read more

I've tried to write a detailed yet objective review – Price very reasonable for private lesson (especially w/packages). Seems to be run by younger folks (16-22) & there are older desk folks there occasionally (not anyone older than 30) it does appear as if the kids at the desk are more interested in socializing. But that's kids at that age. The building isn't easy to find (its got paintings of sea animals on it - but no sign). Street parking is reasonable. The building accomodations good (& clean) - boys & girls separate bat... read more
