I've watched the classes, I think the pool is too small for the number of kids at the same time. I don't think it's the right space if you want a kid to learn to walk soon. a pool of about 30 feet x 50 or 60 feet and 6 teachers with 4 or 5 kids using maybe a space of 8 x 8 feet for every 4 or 5 kids. I think it's not suitable if you want your child to learn to swim soon. for fun for the child is fine. but to learn to swim is not the space proper.

Alex is an outstanding swim instructor. He has shown incredible patience and understanding with my 3-year-old, who has trouble with social cues and sitting still. Even when my son struggles to listen or gets distracted, Alex stays calm, caring, and attentive. He gently redirects him, always ensuring he is safe in the water while still making the lesson fun and engaging. His ability to balance structure with play has not only built my child’s confidence but also made swim class something he looks forward to every week. I highly recommend Alex to any parent looking for a safe, positive, and encouraging swim experience for their child.

NOT RECOMMENDMEN FOR KID. After 2 years, my daughter still at level 1 or 2. Each class is only 30 minutes long with one coach and four students, and they *always* change the coach every week.My daughter keeps repeating the same things over and over in every class. At most, she gets less than 10 minutes of actual instruction with the coach each time. They don’t seem to care whether your child is learning or not, because they constantly rotate coaches.Every time we arrive, my daughter asks me who her coach will be today, she doesn’t even know what class she’s in because she never recognizes the coach.This is not the right place if you want your kids to learn how to swim properly.

Angelina G!!! The G stands for GOAT? Because she is the Greatest swim teacher Of All Time! (JK it stands for Gomez but she really IS amazing!) I got my infant daughter enrolled in Baby and Me classes at La Petit Baleen cause it was free and I thought it would be fun. I decided to later become a paying customer because I had such a great experience. Angelina really understood my and my daughter’s comfort level. We were open to try submersions since she was 2 months old and now my 6 month old daughter is super comfortable in the water and can float with her head supported! Angelina genuinely cares for the babies and you’ll see her interact excitedly with her students whenever she sees them (even if it is at the reception/lobby outside class). The Baby and Me program itself is nice (and free till the baby turns 6 months!), the swimming pool is warm, the San Bruno location is convenient. But honestly it’s the teacher that won me over. Highly recommended!

La Petite Baleem Swim School is a good place for your children to learn to swim. I have been going their for many, years with grandkids, nieces and nephews. A couple have gone on to swim teams. I recommend the facility for all ages.
