We recommend Solar swim & gym, a super relaxing place while the children are practicing you can do your exercises or just relax. Excellent trainers, thank you Coach and manager Niki. If you want to swim competitively this place is the right place.

Our kids joined Solar Swim & Gym last year. And our kids had a blast! It’s a small facility and a little ruff around the edges. But Coach Nikki and the staff have hearts of gold.Both my son and daughter have grown so much since joining the swim team. Our oldest son who is Autistic really enjoys the workout area.It’s very community driven and that’s what I appreciate about this place the most. Solar Swim & Gym might not be shiny with all the bells and whistles. But they have a lot of heart and they are always willing to work with you and your family.

I wish I had visited the location before I invested my hardworking money for swim lessons that were a complete waste for my two children.The place is filthy, disorganized and ran by horrible staff that don’t even greet you when you walk in.My final straw was when a boy took his shorts completely off in the pool during his session in front of my 8 year old daughter. He was standing there was his goods showing until they got the attention of his mom.This facility caters to the regional center- they get dibs on scheduling and majority of the students are autistic (which I’m totally sensitive to and happy they provide this service) but it was a complete distraction for my two little ones trying to learn while sharing the pool with children crying, hitting themselves and even exposing themselves. When I called to share my feedback and if there was any option for my children to attend sessions that were less disturbing, I was told I was insensitive and there was no other option, I could pull my kids out but there will be no refund.I was also warned that the owner does not care if you’re satisfied with the services or not and because the owner has disabled children, I better think twice about giving feedback.If you plan to pay out of pocket like I did and the regional center is not funding the sessions, my advice to you is RUN!!! And spend your money somewhere cleaner, friendlier and more organized.This facility needs to be designated to special needs only. The manager told me 98% of the students are special needs which is awesome but not a fit for my little ones. They don’t understand autism and were completely terrified of what they were seeing. It caused them stress and anxiety- they did not want to attend swim lessons there- they did not feel comfortable nor safe.Lastly, you will be seated in the grass under the sun with huge mosquitoes flying around your feet and legs. Don’t even think about using the bathrooms, they are FILTHY!!!

Had a very bad experience I needed the lift chair to get out, was not charged was told going to charge it and never came out to say if I needed help at all, I spoke with the owner that was not there at the time only the assistant, the owner was lie too that I was help out by the assistant was not true, the water was very dirt with sand in the pool that day. The gym was always cleaned when the original owners where there.

Solar Swim & Gym has so much to offer our community! My family and I love spending time at Solar. The learn to swim program is amazing. The instructors help kids and adults fine tune their swimming in a positive way. My daughter started in the learn to swim program and quickly set her sights on the swim team. She loves the swim team so much my son decided to join in on the fun, plus Coach Niki was always encouraging him. We've met so many great people through the gym. WE LOVE COACH NIKI AND ALL OUR FRIENDS AT SOLAR SWIM & GYM

They are racist here. They will come up to people of color and ask them to prove their membership. They have a horrible computer system that will double charge you and they blame you. I was harassed every time I came in the gym by the swim coach lady who does her makeup at the desk. The energy is not good. The other members are very nice and welcoming, the staff is NOT. I had membership there for 3 years and they treated me ridiculously. I have automatic pay set up and THEIR system would malfunction and before even checking for that or realizing I would be harassed about payment until I tell her it's set up automatically and to check again. This happened several times..... seems like harassment to me.

As a parent, we inform when our children are under the weather, but what happens if i'ts the parent who falls ill? Well, at Solar they could care less and they will penalize your child (in my case children). After being loyal customers for more than one session, I was really disappointed that they could not excuse this absent due to extenuating circumstances on my part. Another huge issue for me was that parents have to wait under the sun. There is no shade except for a small wooden cabana that is pretty much always taken. Remember guys, this is Antioch! It gets really hot. One scorching day, I sat under the shade in an unoccupied table area in front of the office. An older woman with purple/blue hair told me that I could not sit there. Where else could I possibly sit? on the bleachers with no shade under 100+ weather? Located in Antioch, don't understand how Solar does not make it a priority to invest in shade for their waiting customers. Last, Solar holds events to increase revenue, but (know) they never sell out. If you wait to purchase tickets 1-2 days before, you will get the tickets for half off or BOGO free. Overall, cannot recommended a business that does not its customer's health seriously and in turn penalizes its students.

I was getting my three kids ready for their swim lessons at Solar when my little girl tells me she just started her period. Since I'm already headed out the door and don't want to be late, I figure I will inform them as soon as we arrive which is about 30 mins later. Surprisingly, they let me know she would lose her class. Since these types of events don't always happen well in advance of anything you schedule in life, this feels like gender discrimination. Has this happened to anyone else here? Please contact me.

I'm giving this place a 2 star I would have liked to give it more stars because the pool and the area is very nice. I've been trying to locate a swimming aerobics class near my home in Pittsburg and not sign up for a gym I thought this place would be perfect. My mother and I went to go look at the pool and see if this would work out. We get there and were first confused which door to enter. A little boy came out of one of the door so we decided to enter in that way. The young boy coming out of the door was not escorted and there was no adult waiting for him in the parking lot and when we entered the place there were two young women sitting and talking that worked there. First I thought that was very strange to let him walk out of there by himself. We were greeted but the one who greeted us I felt as though I was bothering her and when I asked about the water aerobics class she ask me what did I want to know about it. I thought ok this was rude. She finally gave me information about the classes I then ask could we get a tour she said yes and pointed to the door. Meaning I need to take myself on the tour. So my mother and I just looked out the door to the pool. At that point we decided how rude this place is this would not be a good fit. I will be looking for another place even if I have to go further to be treated with Common courtesy.

Best place to learn how to swim. As an adult with a real fear of water in the beginning, Paulette helped me get over that fear! She's an amazing swim teacher! She taught me all she can with my physical limitation. I reached my goals! She's amazing! This place is pretty cool!
