About
Waterworks Swim School - Culver City offers private swim lessons, semi-private swim lessons, adult swim lessons, and Parent & Me (baby) swim lessons. The program also includes swim competitions, swim teams, water aerobics, aquatic therapy, swim camps, and water safety presentations. All students learn from a professional instructor using personalized lessons that fit students’ swimming goals, with specialized “muscle memory” teaching techniques and a rollover breathing method to teach stroke technique quickly.
• Ages: 3 months–18 years old
• Schedule: Lesson options are available Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with 20-minute sessions for private, semi-private, adult, and Parent & Me lessons.
Private lessons are available for all ages and all levels with a 1:1 student-to-teacher ratio. Semi-private lessons are offered for ages 2.5 to 13 years old at all levels with a 2:1 student-to-teacher ratio. Adult lessons are available for ages 13 and up at all levels, and Adult Semi-Private Lessons have a 2:1 student-to-teacher ratio, are 20 minutes long, and are for ages 13 and up at all levels. Parent & Me Lessons are for ages 3 months to 36 months, Level P1 and up, with a 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio.
More than 25,000 applicants seek to join the Waterworks team annually, and a rigorous process is used so children are taught by passionate, highly qualified instructors. The organization’s mission is to educate and motivate individuals to be safer and learn proper swimming technique. Waterworks Aquatics has operated from 2004 to 2026 and notes that it has won awards, though no specific awards are listed. Waterworks Swim School is independently owned and operated and is not in any way affiliated with LA Fitness.
The program offers year-round swimming opportunities in shiver-free heated swimming pools, and students are asked to “grab your swim suit” to prepare for lessons. Lesson packages are flexible, and schedules can be changed at any time via the customer portal, with a recommendation that children attend at least two lessons per week for faster progress. A Refer a Friend program is available in which a friend receives $20 toward a first lesson purchase and the referrer earns a $20 credit when the friend enrolls, with no limit to referrals and the offer applying to swim lessons only.
Parent feedback includes comments such as a child “swimming with no fear and quickly learned to backstroke” by the third class and parents feeling relieved knowing the child is safe in the pool. Another parent reports a child “swimming the length of the pool and floating on his back solo” after the first session. One review notes a child becoming “water safe in just a few short weeks” after being afraid of the water. Other parents describe improvement “at least twice as great as any other program” they had used and a 4-year-old “swimming all four strokes and joining swim team” in under a year.
