BCYF Mirabella Pool: what do users think?
Angus Black: You have to pay - and schedule an appointment - to swim in this “public” pool. Excessive bureaucracy at its best in Boston.
Beth Foster: I love Mirabella, i wish Boston had more outdoor pools like this one. Hours have reduced after Covid but you can still get a good swim session in by registering and signing up on the BYCF website. Bring chairs if you need- the area where you lounge is concrete. There is a deep pool and a longer lap pool with shallower depths. Lifeguards on duty and the bathrooms have sufficient space for changing/washing. A gem of a city pool! Skyline views and a breeze off the harbor make it so special here!
Maria R: Okay but you have to make a line and sign in to get in
gustavo cavallero: Best public pool in the world
New England Wiffs: 3 years ago or so this pool used to be very enjoyable. Now they make you pay 45 dollars and 75 dollars for families every time you go here. Last year they only let us swim at the pool for an hour (due to covid) like how are you gonna make us swim for 1 hour. But nice view and nice breeze.
Divakar Jain: Excellent public facility. Note that there's usually plenty of kids and it's not super convenient if you are looking for a solid workout. You'll have to find your space and just go with the flow. Lifeguards on site and okayish restrooms.
Stew Willey: Beautiful views and very nice workers.nice huge pool for good work out
Sumlite Ytv: Supper trash food expensive and u have to pay to get in …. I don’t mind paying but if you are going to be a rude lil old bat lady then yeah I do mind paying because I’m not paying to have a bad day , old white lady very rude to color people , she said the n word to white co workers talking about some color people in the line , great view tho
Denis Machado: clean large perfect and safe
Jenn Adams: Just started a new season of the pool being open and went there for my first time. Only the main pool (~3-5 ft deep; Olympic sized) was open, but the former dive well was filled and I hope they’ll open it later into the summer. Free this year, but you have to sign up for a 1h45 time slot through BCYF 24 hours in advance. Beautiful view, wasn’t too crowded, great place.
Danny Quynh Lam Ong: Nice. Water is a bit cool. I will be back.
Jeremy Gartland: No lane lines because it was a giant family swim but it was pretty refreshing and I really appreciate the lifeguards being there and the pool being open
Shamso Smith: I went here about 4 years ago with some neighborhood kids from Charlestown. We ALL had BCYF MEMBERSHIPS that I was told was VALID AT ANY BCYF FACILITY AND POOL.Well this day I felt like we were racially profiled from the moment we were waiting in the line. The staff took their time to come and help us. I PROUDLY gathered all of the children’s memberships and handed them over to the pool staff. The woman at the table looked at me when I was handing them to her and said @ what are those?” I said these are our memberships.The woman said we don’t take these here. I explained that upon having the parents purchase the memberships that we would be allowed the same perks at ALL BCYF facilities and we were told YES. Well the woman said NO the information was incorrect and that we would have to pay a $20 memberships EACH UNLESS we were a family and then that I believe would be $75. The exact same fees that were quoted by the Center we purchased our memberships from prior, and were told they could be used anywhere.I then told the woman that I was just being neighborly and took the children to that pool because they needed a change of scenery but was still close enough to home and if she could just waive us the day and if we chose to come back we would look into purchasing “THEIR MEMBERSHIP”. That woman said NO and at this time the line was starting to build up and asked us if we weren’t going to buy a membership could we please leave the line so they could admit PEOPLE WITH MEMBERSHIPS.I felt the woman was very insensitive to our situation and the fact that the kids were crying because they really had their hearts set on swimming at that pool and we were all turned away. We were DEFINITELY PROFILED BEFORE WE EVEN ARRIVED AT THAT TABLE. You can go there any day and only see Italians or Caucasians in that pool. Unless you happen to be of a MIXED RACE.Well needless to say I’ve NEVER been to that pool since.
Mary: Every time I call to make an inquiry they answer by putting down the phone on you. Bad customer service
Alejandro Alvarez: We went there and theh didnt let us use the floaties but its fine
Wesley Ireland: Known as the Italian Riveria, I wish this spectacular place was open from Memorial Day weekend until Columbus Day weekend! It usually opens around June 20th and goes through to Labor Day weekend.
rrcs3234: nice view, but the mason pool got em beat
Jojo: The staff are just rude 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏿
Zoe Daniela Lara: The new policy is horrible! and it has ruined summer for a lot of kids/teenagers .
Kristen Douthit: Mirabella is typically cold as ice, but you can't beat the views or the people. Beautiful neighborhood pool, if you can stand the polar plunge!
Vlissara Upara: Such a huge pool

Olsen Swimming Pool Fun park: what do users think?
Carla Sheffield: Loved it, will be back with my grandchildren
slendy gaming: Many bugs in this pool many fights life the life guards can’t even do their job right.
SwaG&Nuni Tejeda: So fun the pool is great for kids and teenagers i recommend coming here 😎
Deborah Antonios: Very nice water park..Clean and safe for toddlers. Didn't know this was here so came unprepared
WIneska De Jesus: I have 6 kids 3 which went in the pool earlier and now all of a sudden after my 3 oldest went to get wet and in the pool and they left when they took their break and when they was trying to go back in there all of a sudden because their age they couldn’t go back in and I tried speaking with the lifeguard about what was the issue from earlier and when they was trying to go in and they used the excuse of they are in full capacity shouldn’t the rule be follow all the time not just when it’s convenient and they was letting people who was under the age of 18 going in Im sorry but I just don’t get it and to use that as an excuse afterwards make no sense rules should be followed the whole time not just when it’s convenient for them and lifeguard needs to learn how to speak to people and cut the attitude the sprinklers was fun for my 3 little ones
Javier VIllafuerte: Great pool for the kids, they love it. The lifeguards take a 15 minutes break around 1245 so everyone has to go out and wait for them to come back, bring a chair if you want to be confortable.
Sharnette Manuel: Omg come...have a cook out....enjoy the pool....enjoy the water sprinklers. ..I had a ball
Maria R: The pool was closed
Ashaina Bonafacia: Super leuke plek voor verjaardagen. Kinderen kunnen spelen en volwassenen kunnen veilig barbecuen
Cecile Braun-Jones: Great pool, clean facilities, only hard surfaces around the pool so bring a chair or don't mind sitting on concrete when out of the pool.Next to the pool (but need to exit the pool completely to access) there is an awesome spray deck/splash pad w two large shaded area.And across the parking lot a great playground. Fun for hours!
Luz Garcia: Fun place
Keon Monteiro: I love the place I come there every day
Roman S: Всё отлично!Вода холодная даже когда на улице под +40°C, но не снижать же из-за этого оценку! Особенно когда плюсы просто зашкаливают - доступность (бесплатно), скамейки и даже навес для ожидающих и чистота на территории.
Iris Castillo: Good place to share with family
Monalisa Campbell: Loved it for my girls going again
queen boston: Recommend for the kids love this place
Daniel Alvira: Great for the entire family!!
Venecia Phillip: Loved here kids had so much fun. The rain came heavily that day, but it didn't stop me. I live any kind out water.
lauren peter: Only thing that would have made it better would have been more shade
Elliott McNamee: Pool is free to enter. Goes from 3-4.5 ft. deep, no diving. Didn’t see any capacity restrictions or restricted swimming times.
Isabella Castillo: These people ARE annoying, the employee's are rude and they take half an hour pool checkes EVERY 20 MINUTES! (do not recomend if you want to stay th the water 24/7)

Mason Pool: what do users think?
ALEX MESA: Nice place for training
Abul Azam: I like the way staff are treats people
Ace Vito: My family and I have been coming to the Mason pool 30 yrs+ we loved it then and now
bruno korbar: Really good facility for the price. Limited availability for to COVID, but I really appreciate the high cleanliness standards.
Deborah Grace: The pool and locker room was clean. The showers were clean and the water was warm
Maria R: Has faced with my grandkids
Lisa Jorge: Excellent pool.. all staff so kind & professional
Sean O'Connor: Professional staff, clean facilities, good classes
Jacky Bernal: First time I have been here. Went to a pool party and my kids enjoyed a lot because they could play with their water toys without being yell to get them out. So please don't get me wrong they were enough life safe guards to protect the children and grown up s. But see how the parents and children were interacting make me think to book a party for my own children.
Beatriz Alvarez: The pool is clean and the staff are friendly
Michelle Corbin: Pool was awesome warm which was great
Hussien Ashorobi: Good place to go to just to get away during the hot summer days. They have grills outside to cook on just have to get there early. At times you may run into people jumping into the pool in just under wear which I consider unsanitary. But what do you expect whith a bunch of kids running the pool?
Yomna A. Morad: Water is clean & warm, dressing room has lockers available for free, & private shower partitions
Jose Rosa: The water is very cleanThe people on the other hand isn’t so cool if u don’t know how to swim please find another pool to learn
Beatrice Excellent: Great program for kids
Adrian Gaines: I love the Mason pool I go swimming and dont have to worry about getting sick the pool is nice and clean but and Mrazolla is one of the nicest guys there along with uh er life guards
Contina: Ok
Massachusetts01: An undiscovered gem! Great pool. Very clean and not crowded. Aqua Aerobic class on Saturday morning is the best!
ladyv200: I have taken water aerobics at Mason pool and was very happy. The instructor was very pleasant and I got a great workout in the pool. Excellent place for swimming.
Milena Gil: Awesome place to host parties, clean and organized and the stuff is very helpful.
Chelsea King: It's a nice, welcoming environment with a small parking lot but fairly easy street parking. If you aren't swimming, know that it is HOT inside so wear a t-shirt and be prepared to sit on the ground.

Goldfish Swim School - Brookline: what do users think?
Bena Apreala: Sent my daughter (4 years old) here for 8 months.Good for becoming familiar with the water. Hyper friendly staff. Didn’t learn much, but was a step forward from being unfamiliar with the water. 3/5 stars because it’s welcoming and well run, but not the best at teaching kids to swim. Is a good stepping stone for a more involved and effective swim school.Also: Kids typically have a different teacher every week, slightly hindering progress due to the fact that they are unaware of each students needs
Sara O'Connor: I LOVE this place!! The staff is so friendly and my kids love coming. The facility is fun clean and bright.
Andrew Kazakoff: Staff is highly experienced and handles all kids well. They know exactly what to do in every situation. They are easy to schedule with and the price is very reasonable for the high quality service that they give.
William Jones: It is nice for kids and teens
Donielle Buie: Love the warm pool for all my kids, including one with a chronic illness. The structure of the classes helps the kids make real progress!
Patrick S: A well run and efficient center that is expensive and ineffective at teaching kids to swim.My kids attended from September 2021 until June 2022 and neither progressed in their ability to swim. Is this because my children are flawed, or is it because the instructors are ineffective? My older child faced many changes in instructors over this time, limiting his ability to develop any kind of consistency. Obviously the new staff he saw each week were unaware of his history and unable to encourage him effectively to overcome his fears. My daughter did have a consistent instructor, but he focused primarily on getting kids comfortable with water and sped through the skills without teaching them.In all this time the kids were supposed to be evaluated monthly. My son was only evaluated four times and my daughter three. My son progressed on only two of the ten skills evaluated. My daughter progressed on two and went backwards on five.The place is clean and efficient. The staff are friendly. But what’s the point if they don’t learn to swim?(And to the manager who responds to negative reviews with a request for a call, don’t bother. I did call. Your staff responded “well, kids are at different levels.” Yes, and it’s your job to teach them so that they progress.)
Ber Almeida: My 6 year old was not very pleased with the academy, and one day there was an issue they had with staff calling out. The manager Tim stepped in and was able to offer very surprising and amazing options, he asked Anna to take the class, she was very sweet and patient. After that session my kid said that was the best class she ever had at the school. I understand that there are issues in business but the way to handle situations and solve those issues, Tim was really kind and really exceeded our expectations. If we stay in the Brookline area, we will continue to attend.Also a big shout out to Mak, for her loving way to teach and the positive impact she has made in my 3 year old daughter, Tess will always remember you with a smile.
David Fidler: Good set up for young kids learning to swim
Robert Jones: Rude instructors, disorganized and unprofessional.
sarah barrett: My son, Finnegan, wouldn't put his face in the water before coming to Goldfish - after his first 30 minute trial lesson, he was eager to go back. Within a month he was begging for more time in the water at the end of his lessons. Within a few more weeks, he was putting his face in the water in the shower after class - without his goggles! He has made incredible improvement and I am so thrilled and impressed by his success. Thank you Goldfish Brookline!! Ps. I love that you give out ribbons at the end of each class - we have them hanging in his room - it provides such motivation & positive reinforcement!!
Paivi Albaiti: Warm water, great teachers and pleasant atmosphere, my kids are finally enjoying their swimming classes!
R. Swartz: They are not transparent with their no refund policy. No mention was made upon payment, nor are there any signs on location stating "no refund." The staff is not accommodating to parents that are paying the high membership fees! The staff at the front desk is rude and not willing at all to help. Good luck getting a call back. You would think they would be welcoming and a little more warm to someone who was sending their kid there for 4 months of lessons.
Sarena Nichol: My kids (6 and 9) loved lessons at Goldfish. They've been asking to do more lessons since our week long intensive this summer. My only complaint is how fast lessons are filled up. We missed our chance to sign up for the last session.
Paola Michelle Contreras: I thought the parent-child swim classes for my daughter were excellent. She became used to the water and learned quickly that water can be fun and also something to be careful in. She quickly understood that the edge of the pool was the safest place to be. We attended when she was in her early twos for about six months. I tried to transition her to independent classes per the instructors suggestion but I didn't think that it was a good fit. She really hated being with the instructors without me and I gave up after six weeks of protest. However, I liked the environment enough that I might try to take her back after she has started pre-school and more used to separating from us.
Brocc: My son 5yrs has been at Goldfish Swim classes since around the end of June and before he was very afraid of water, after months he is able to swim, go deep under the water, float and he loves to go to his classes, every kid has a different time frame to learn and sometimes could take time. I highly recommend the Goldfish Swim School, my son enjoy to learn swim techniques and I enjoy watch his progress, thanks to the instructor Adrian.
Janet Williams: My great granddaughter has enjoyed attending swim classes, she’s on vacation in Florida, but will resume her classes in the fall. She is more confident in exercising the various skills to help her learn to swim and navigate the water. Her instructors have always shown patience and care with each of their participants. She has been practicing some of her techniques here in Florida! We look forward to returning soon.(Score 10 out of 10)
Angela Perez: It is a safe and clean environment for the kids and staff are very professional they watch every single step of the swimmers, my daughter was afraid first two times but after she is confidence and every Friday she is very excited to try again. She is learning so fast
Ariana Serrano: This swim school is absolutely HORRIBLE. $171 a month for what ? My 3 year old son goes here and all they do is sit him on the ledge half the time and he’s either by himself or with one other kid. The instructors always look MISERABLE, even the girls at the front desk. A YMCA is so much better than this.
Antonio Aurelio Fagundes Jr.: My kid had a terrible experience at Goldfish Brookline. I would never recommend it.
Jackie Palacios: Very good place for all kids type of ages to learn how to swim and learn to have fun inside the water.Instructors are very patient, friendly and know what they're doing when it comes teaching kidsThe only thing I recommend is if kids are doing above and beyond and trying their best with their lessons to continue rewarding them like they where doing before.My son loves it and his been going there since 2018
Lena Kikuchi: Great place for kids to learn to swim. Friendly staff, very well trained and organized. Space is bright and very clean. Flexible make up schedules and very accommodating to fit your family's needs! Highly recommended!

Goldfish Swim School - Needham: what do users think?
Keyse Kasprzak: I have the worst experience here. Customer service is the worst.
Betsy Gana: Amazing place, great team !!!
Gizem ND: It was a frustrating experience we had with their management. I emailed them, called them, left a note at the front desk for them but it took them longer than a month to return back. And finally when they returned I asked if they could give me a phone call to discuss my concern they never did, until I wrote a review for them.My concern was about having a different instructor almost every time. My child has special needs, and they have a program at Goldfish to support their students with special needs. But with changing teachers every week and them not reading the notes about my child, we were starting from scratch every time so no progress (and I believe this would be the case for a child with no special needs as well).I think same people also own the Burlington location of Goldfish. We had an amazing experience there, so I cannot generalize my experience with Needham location to other locations, their staff at Burlington were amazing, really helpful, and we had more consistency with the teachers.
Sandeep Davada: Update:I was contacted by the team and have subsequently registered our little man for classes. We’ve been to a few and he loves it.This feedback is as a prospective customer.It's been over a week since I contacted you folks, via email, phone and your online website form to obtain some more information before signing up? If this the standard level of response time and service your customers receive then I'm glad i haven't signed up yet.If you're going through a busy patch and are understaffed then I understand, but I'd recommend you do a better job of communicating this to your existing and potential customers.
Sue Berman: The swim teachers are really well trained, enthusiastic and safety conscious. We’re in the mini class and little one loves the warm water, routine toys and songs and it’s very clean.
Harlan S: I agree with Lois, the instructors are great and management needs to improve. When I had an issue with registration, the employee on the phone just kept repeating the corporate policy. After leaving three messages for the GM asking her to call me back I eventually received an email saying, "I understand you've been trying to reach me.What can I do for you?" I asked her to call me to discuss the issue, but never heard from her again.
Melissa Hamilton: We have thoroughly enjoyed Goldfish. We are anxious to get our daughter in the pool too (wish there were more mini offerings, but we’ll patiently wait on the waitlists 😀), but our son is such a fish and loving the lessons!
Steve L: This place used to be 5 stars a few years ago but has slipped a bit. Still is a nice place for your children to learn how to swim. Staff is less diligent ensuring classes begin on time and parents need to bring children to swim lanes themselves when they aren’t paying attention.
Cerica Horton: No visible signage that says no pets allowed. We were here for over an hour before staffed approached us saying dogs weren’t allowed in the building. Otherwise great teachers and atmosphere. Would highly recommend.
Simi Saini: Great location and teachers. My kid loves going to his swimming class.
Lois Tsao: I give our teacher 5 star and the management 0.The pool has a problem for the 2nd time in a month and our class is canceled for the 2nd time in a month.They first promised us free family swim when we paid month to month then after a while told us we have to pay for a half-year membership to have free family swim.We paid half-year membership then got rejected for 4 or 5 times for family swim because it is too “popular”. I asked for a refund since half-year membership doesn’t give us anything more than month-to-month but was told no refund.They ask me to send an email on Sunday morning to register for family swim to guarantee spots. I sent my email precisely at 9 am and got the reply “You unfortunately fall beyond the 50 spots.”There’s never a lesson available for the time slot we want. I have put my kid onto two waiting lists but never a spot available.Then they decided that my kid should be transferred to another class. We requested the same teacher who is the only reason that we stay with this school and was told that class is also waitlisted.The above mentioned are simple facts and the responses are always “sorry” without any action to do the work right.I stopped trying after I was told “I was unfortunately falling beyond the 50 spots”. The management team messed things up in every way they could. The last time we came to class the students reduced to half. I’m not surprised.
Anne Hunsicker: Staff were very responsive and helpful with all questions. Coaches were very encouraging and great swim teachers to both of my kids. The Jump Start Clinic really helped with swimming this summer.
Jessica Ferreira: We have had a great experience with our infant swim instructor. We are so glad we got a spot in the infant class. My son has only had 6 weeks of lessons and he is already going under water at 5 months. We are very satisfied with this program and are going to continue this fall.
Anita Saint-Fleur: I am very pleased with the Goldfish team. The staff are patient, kind and always professional.
Porsha Hands: Positive:Communication,ValueThe staff at goldfish Needham are great! They are super kid friendly and work with your child at their pace and confidence in the water!
Matthew Petrus: Goldfish Swim School has given our daughter tons of confidence and skills that keep her safe in the water! Having an indoor, temperature regulated pool is also nice because lessons can be year-round and the kids aren’t shivering by the end.
Yvette Soto: My daughter loves swimming class.
C Cosco: Great teachers, good technique, clean facility... the children love learning this life saving skill.
Sharon Kunder: Bela is amazing and the staff really accommodated our schedules. I was super frustrated as a parent and was not considering extending my contract but I have to say I was wrong. Bela and her team went above and beyond to get us the correct instructor and as a mom helped me out a ton not having to deal with scheduling every week. My son has a personality and the staff is always kind. Not to mention the club is very clean (including bathrooms). We definitely will be moving forward for the next quarter as well.
Kim Rocco: We are thrilled with Pod Swim Classes and Bubbles Club! The facilities are supremely clean but has not sterilized the joyous atmosphere in the slightest. We love Goldfish Needham!
Karen Weisinger: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value

Brookline Swimming Pool: what do users think?
Adam Fullerton: I have been to the Aquatics Center a few times alone with my 3.5 year old daughter. The facility is always clean with large men's/women's locker rooms and shower areas as well as (2?) Small family bathrooms/changing rooms with a locking door that offer privacy to shower. The different pools are perfect for all ages. Walk-in prices for an adult and child are very reasonable.The venue is good, but the star of the show is definitely the professional instruction. My daughter's swim teacher, Zeus, has been nothing short of spectacular. Last Summer my daughter spent many long days in a family member's pool with only Mom and Dad to teach her the basics. She lacked the confidence to swim without large floats and was uncomfortable dunking her head at all. After several classes, Zeus had built up her skill and confidence levels to the point where she can jump feet-first into the pool, swim half the length of the pool without assistance, and float on her back without assistance. We are all amazed how she can now hold her breath to dive down in the shallow end and pick up rings off the bottom. The progress she has made in just a few months is a testament to Zeus' skill and experience working with small children. Thank you Zeus!
Tania Munguia: Zeus is a great swim instructor. He is professional and patient but most importantly he has an extensive background in athletics and personal training so when he teaches he is diligent about form and safety. He works really well with both children and adults. Kids love him. He is the reason I keep coming back to the Kirrane Aquatics Center.
Petra Bignami: This public pool in Brookline is a GEM. The facility and particularly the swimming instruction is fantastic. Our son has thrived in early lessons this year because of one particularly talented and dedicate swim instructor, Zeus. We are so grateful to him and to the pool!
Cristiano Cairo: Nice facility. Incredibly nice and supportive staff.
Giang “Jenny” Tran: I did not take swim lessons as a child so I finally was able to make enough money to take private adult swimming lessons with Zeus. Worth every penny! He is really patient and takes his time to really explain the techniques/break down the steps, especially for slow learners like me. He is able to observe what I needed to practice more on (does not sugar coat) and gives positive reinforcement when noticing wins. I felt comfortable with lessons, more familiar with different swimming styles (e.g. breast stroke, freestyle, squid) and less embarrassed over time! Amanda and front desk were really helpful in rescheduling lessons when I was sick for two months. Much appreciation to Zeus and the team!! 🤗
Henrik Reid: Expensive for a day $10. But very nice pool. But then there are hotels that charge $25,$35 etc. Compared to riverbank state park in nyc $2 per day but not such a great locker room and some of the showers don't work. Next compare to NYC pools for one year with NYC ID IS $135. But the pools are not as nice (smaller). As opposed to $400 per year in brookline. So you have low brow and high brow. I think Brookline needs to factor in people who make lower incomes and if they can afford it. There was a senior that i spoke to that complained about the price. But this is brookline so i suppose there are no low income people here. Even the cops here are making over 100,000 with OT - that's what I have heard anyway.This is coming from a artist bohemian type who loves the finer things but has trouble affording them. Anyway enough rambling
Tobias Herrmann: Great pool for a great price. It's clean, staff is friendly. Eve more cheap if you are a student or live in Brookline. 5 swimming lanes, a kiddy pool and a diving well. Only downside is that it can be crowded sometimes, especially when they close lanes. Make sure to always check their schedule online.
Fengmin Z: My 6 YO daughter has been taking semi-private lessons with Zeus in the past two months. She has been afraid of water since very little, bath time was always a struggle. With only seven lessons, she is now completely a new person, and feels so comfortable in water. Zeus is such a great instructor and is so experienced dealing with kids who are afraid of water. In addition, he has a very systematic way of teaching swimming, my daughter has been making great progress in terms of swimming skills. Would definitely recommend.
Nathan Zhang: Great swimming place.
Avi Kaufman: We started coming here for swim lessons for our kids (6 and 4). Our kids didn't get much water time during the pandemic and were pretty nervous, so we opted for a semi-private lesson (one instructor with our two kids). We appreciate that was an option. Zeus was our instructor and we could not be more pleased. He worked with them at their level, helped them feel safe, and was a calm, patient, and encouraging teacher. Both kids learned a lot over the course of just six weeks with Zeus and we highly recommend.The facility itself was clean, locker rooms were spacious, and we like how there are three different pools for different uses. We also appreciated that there were non-gendered rooms we could use for the family.After 4pm there was plenty of parking spots right in front of the pool building. During school hours parking is a challenge since most of the area is by resident permit only. The one time I brought a kid for free swim during the day we parked a few blocks away on Waverley St and walked.It would be nice if there were more hours for the free swim and if it wasn't so expensive to bring a family for free swim. For Brookline residents, for 2 adults to bring 2 kids to free swim costs $28. ($8 per adult, $6 per child)
Nima Saeidi: My 5 YO son has private lessons with Zeus. He is a great instructor and is very good with getting kids comfortable with water. He has a very systematic way of teaching swimming and ensures the kids learns the fundamentals very well. Would definitely recommend.
Vicki F: Love going to the aquatics center for swim lessons with Zeus. The lessons are excellent. Zeus is a really patient and fun teacher. Our child has learned so much about proper technique and water safety!
Taryn Lacasse: I have been bringing my children here for swim lessons for the past 2 years (on and off due to Covid). My kids love the lessons, it has become the highlight of our week. I appreciate the flexibility with which we were able to schedule classes (once our usual session filled up), the facility is great (there’s a special shallow pool for the kids) and the instructor, Zeus, is the best! He is great with kids and has become one of my son’s favorite people. He makes the class fun, works with my son to progress his skills and helps build his confidence. We are very happy with the classes and facility.
bruno korbar: Great and clean facility. They are sorry on lifeguards though so the times might change on the short notice.
Devora Baronofsky: Pool is nice, the aerobics class is great. Amenities are lacking. Too many kids too many pushy parents not complying with rules. Parking is poor.
Uri Mariash: We take lessons with Zeus at the pool. Couldn't have been happier. The kids love him. My 6 year old was afraid to put her face in the water and she is now swimming happily with her goggles, diving and jumping in. My 3.5 YO is now swimming independently in the kids pool from side to side. Zeus has a great way to get the kids engaged and love swimming. He is so much fun to be around and has always ideas for creative games in the pool. He is very patient and is good at demonstrating and teaching kids how to swim properly. What an amazing experience in a public pool. In my opinion better than pricier private pools.
Hong Pua: Water is warmer now and still keeping adequate social distancing
Nick Hoffman: I like this swimming pool both in terms of area and cleanliness. I come here once a week, great place.
Dave Szeto: Great programs and 6 lanes of lap swimming as well as a dive well and a lesson pool
Sharon Cicchetti: clean and a salinated system for the water. Hands down better than chlorine system of water purification,
Endless Memories: Great front desk staff, amazing swimming facilty.

Commonwealth Sports Club: what do users think?
Ben Weaver: I recently joined CSC and it’s a wonderful facility. Very spacious and lots of equipment. All the staff members I’ve interacted with have been very helpful, kind, and welcoming. Highly recommend CSC!!
Joe Swanson: Great staff, great facilities, love working out here! Doesn't get too crowded and theres plenty of wonderful places in the area to visit for a healthy post workout snack hahaha
Faical Rayani: They were not able to provide a guest pass or a trial period so I can try the gym.I've never heard of a gym that doesn't have a guest pass or a trail period.Seems like a bad policy for attracting customers.Certainly did not attract me.
S Morales: I've spent my time at a lot of gyms, either attending or working, and I love the time I've spent at CSC! Staffers and members are friendly. The pool is a big plus, and the yoga classes were really well taught. I recommend this Allston gem to anyone wanting a well rounded gym experience.
tony nguyen: The best gym with a nice salt water and steam room, great amenities!
Duncan Hilton: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityThis is the best gym I've ever been to - the kindness of the staff, the cleanliness of the facilities, and the support of the trainers. I highly recommend it!
Brian Hall: Great staff, great equipment
Cole Kerr: Great facilities (and a nice pool) for a good price.Most importantly they refunded me very generously for several months of subscription when I mistakenly forgot to opt out of the post-COVID reactivation. After my horrific experiences with Boston Sports Club this was a very pleasant surprise!If I ever live in the neighborhood again I will gladly reopen my account with them. They take care of their customers, which is a rare quality in this industry imo
Claudia Meyer: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityVery clean and great layout. Great services!
Paula K: Great place. Great people. Very clean.
Melchior Maetzener: I miss swimming
Grant LaPierre: Overpriced planet fitness with poor management
Alexandria Will-Cole: Critical:Communication
Michael Logar: Best gym in Boston!
Masha Sukher: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality
Ann Whitney Freeman Sands: I love my gym
Yuge: Very good
Yeonsoo Kim: I love the place, group fitness classes and the facility itself are all very nice. However the staff there was SUPER unfriendly and rude. I loved going there for few weeks, but totally changed my opinion about this place after calling them for something and the attitude was totally unexpected. I called to change my membership from $79 regular membership to $900 personal training membership (3x week). Which I consulted about before even signing up. I talked with three employees from the club and they all said I could change my membership whenever I wanted to, there is a 4month commitment to the regular membership but it wouldn't matter if I changed to the personal training membership. However the front desk person kept telling me I am not allowed to change my membership because I didn't fulfill my 4months. She said I would have to keep my membership and purchase extra personal training sessions on top of the membership because I have to keep it for 4 months. I told them names of people I consulted about this but she said "You must have misheard her" which really threw me off- I did not mishear, I double checked and triple checked because I was interested in personal training from the beginning, and plus I am trying to pay more to the club and they are not letting me do it?????Anyways it turns out I was right, I am allowed to change my membership(of course, $79 vs. $900 duh) and not worry about the 4 month commitment I had with regular membership. BUT the front desk person DID NOT SAY a single apology, all the confusion, all the arguments, she didn't have the basic info she should have had; she was like, oh it seems I can do that, and I asked couple more questions afterwards but she sounded like she was so annoyed by that point and kept repeating the same thing she already told me and telling me to come to club on Monday and figure things out. Worst customer service experience, the person I talked to was super unfriendly and rude, almost made me NOT want to go to the club anymore.
Susan Fried: This is the first time I've ever been consistently motivated to stick with a training program long-term. It's because of the staff at CSC. They are friendly, professional, and make sure I have a training program customized for my needs. The facilities are always immaculate and comfortable. Instead of a big "corporate machine", it's small enough so I feel like it's "my gym". They greet everybody by name and create a warm and welcoming environment. I also like that there is a Physical Therapy practice on site! After an orthopedic surgery the Physical Therapist and a Personal Trainer worked collaboratively to maximize my recovery. It's a winning combination.
vincent benetreau: Definitely the best gym in the Boston area. The staff is amazing, knowledgable and always ready to help. They don't have every machine but all the equipment is in great condition and you can tell maintenance is done often. Salt water pool, steam room, sauna, and HOT TUB! Besides all that, the real plus is the atmosphere: the staff works hard to create a very welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, so everyone is nice. You can still get in the zone and do your thing, but it's a much nicer environment than most gyms I've been too. I had to change gyms because I moved to another part of Boston, and I miss CSC dearly!
Meifeng Jiang: Good service
