We had a very nervous eight year old that we thought may never put his head in the water.

After three classes he's full dunking and no longer afraid of the water at all.

It's been great!!

My daughter Zimmi loves it here so much. My daughter is afraid of water but after the lessons she is confident and loves to swim.

We’ve been coming here for a few months now. We’ve had a handful of teachers and have enjoyed all of them. They’re attentive, patient, and respectful to the kids learning to swim. The change in confidence compared to day one is worth the time and the cost (which is already pretty reasonable and worth it). The open swim on Sundays is an added bonus.

We have been going to ASU for the past year and it’s been great! Both kids continue to develop their skills and grow their love of the water!

My son has been loving the classes here. When we moved from another swim school, he learned more skills in 3 months than he did in a year at the other program. Their open swim is great too!

Both of my daughters have been going to ASU for almost two years now.
My 6 year old is a confident swimmer now. It’s so nice having her be a safe swimmer at this age, living in a beach town especially.
My second daughter is almost 4 and she is jumping in, diving for rings and practicing her strokes. She will be 100% eater safe in no time!

Both my kids have been attending classes for many years now. We’ve always had a great experience learning and perfecting the kid’s swim skills.

Just back from an awesome dive trip organized by these guys to the Southern Channel Islands on the Vision. Ryan and Emily are the best! The most fun was had. Dolphins! Whales! Tuna! Bat Ray! Sea Bass! Nudibranch! So many sea critters. I'm not sure this trip can be topped. Maybe next time we'll encounter the Kraken. :)

Great place for swimming with toddlers and other kids (and adults). The pool is heated so it is nice and warm. The staff is great and very helpful.

Very nice place for kid swimming lessons. The teachers are very caring and professional, the owners/managers are doing very well organizing things and being very accommodating. During cold months they heat up the pool to 90+ and they run the classes rain or shine!

Don't hesitate to check it out.

Best SCUBA course in Santa Cruz! They have a great facility stocked with the best gear and the friendliest people. Our instructor Dominic was awesome. We used great gear--super warm wetsuits, nice regulators, and excellent BCDs. Just finished diving in Monterey this weekend, and got my diver certification in one short, fun, week. Highly recommend!

We have tried Jim Booth and Simkins but Adventure Sports is the one that actually taught my sons to swim. I have two very different boys and the teachers accommodated and accepted both in the style each needed. They are so friendly and try to adapt to our schedule. We are definitely a ASU fan and family!

Dario is the most amazing swim teacher ever! This review is long overdue. Dario is patient, kind, playful, yet, focused during all of the lessons. Our kids have progressed very fast with his guidance. Thank you Dario!

I wish I had went elsewhere to get my dive cert. I had terrible experiance. I should have just gave the 400 bucks and let them kick me in the balls. I would have the same feeling as my experiance with ASU.

Been diving since I was a kid, but took a break and never wanted to dive our local cold waters (been doing tropical dives on and off), but decided to get certified locally and really like that ASU took us to one of (if not the best) place to dive and use kayak too. This really showed me how awesome local diving can be! Steve is the best instructor I've had, and made the many hour classes really enjoyable (even though I knew the drill). The entire crew is young and dynamic and fun to hang around and dive with, which I've done many times. The owner Dennis is a colorful and very interesting character. Love the shop and took more advanced classes there afterward.

Great dive shop. Dennis and Steve have opened our eyes to the world of diving, and in particular the world class diving in our own back yard. Great instruction, rentals, and dive trips.

Our 3 year old was really excited to take his second round of swim lessons. His first was at Sea Horse and they were great. Unfortunately, they weren't available during the hours we needed so we hit up a google search.

Adventure Sports was one of the top hits so I thought it must be decent. Long story short, we signed up for a monday/wednesday class without knowing the times because THEY themselves weren't certain on when they'd be held. I was reluctant to commit but did. They told me I'd be notified the wednesday prior to the monday class via email with the scheduled time of the class. I wasn't. I called them at 5:30 the wednesday prior to class and was told that they weren't able to schedule our child. I told "Steve" that I would have appreciated a notification because our child was REALLY looking forward to his scheduled swim lessons and he said he was sorry. The thing is...they should have told us earlier so we could schedule classes with another school. They were SUPER inconsiderate of us and waited beyond the last minute. Additionally, they also charged us for lessons they weren't planning on giving?

CONCLUSION: We will never attempt to receive services from this agency again.
RECOMMENDATION: Don't try them unless your child can tolerate a disappointment.
