About the Club

Solar Swim & Gym has been a family spot to swim for 84 years and counting.
Everyone remembers Ingrid and her unique way of teaching nearly all of Antioch how to swim for the last 50 years!! Although time and ownership has changed, we still have a staple swim Coach here to keep Ingrid's long built swim school alive and bring it into the future.
Now led by our very own Coach Niki, we work daily to prove that everyone deserves a chance and we will never turn you away for anything but lack of space.
We are here changing the ways of teaching and can only hope you'd come give us a look.

Chamyah is such an amazing swim instructor and very aware of my son’s needs and he enjoys swimming lessons. I really recommend solar swim.

Just exactly what is needed to work out, play pickleball, and take a swim. This is one of the homiest gyms in which I've ever had the pleasure of working out.

Poor service. You pay for swimming lessons for your children. They send you emails and texts to confirm your classes. You arrive at the place and they're not ready. The manager leaves a lot to be desired. The truth is, the service is poor, not because of the swimming instructors, but because the manager doesn't know how to organize anything. The place is too big for her.

I love this place on so many levels. Both me 34 and my daughter 4 loves this place and feel it super safe. All thr instructors are amazing and the best part is, they listen and don’t just think they do this as their job. It is something more than that and My daughter keeps talking about these instructors and remembers their names even if they were sub for a day or so. Isn’t that amazing. I love this place and recommend it to everyone who wants to swim.

I was thrilled on taking my son to swim classes . "Specializing in special need" made me even more excited. It was a huge disappointment.

If I could put negative stars I would. I tried asking for info on how to get regional center to pay and they did not give me a straight answer. Do not believe what they say about costs. I went for a tour and they said they didn’t have tours but could tell me about the cost of memberships. It was very confusing and the person telling me was also doing a bunch of other things and kept getting distracted and interrupted (red flag I know now). Long story short they held onto my card and said they will charge $200-and something on it for the pool membership for 3 months. They got distracted and told me to go look around the gym while they took care of something else. I got my card back and That night I saw a $400 and something charge!! I have called and emailed a bunch of times and no ones has called me back! Definitely do not sign up for a membership. The place is also very dirty. I suggest looking around (including bathrooms) before making a decision. It’s very unorganized.

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.

Level of service dwindled over time and they kept asking me if I wanted to renew rather than see if I was even satisfied with my class. Even when I provided feedback that I wasn’t getting the technique, nothing was done to consider how to help. Save your money. Would NOT recommend at All.

My kids have been coming here since 2015 and we love it. We now have a 4yr old boy in lessons and 2 girls in swim camp with coach Nikki. She is absolutely amazing and you can tell she enjoys what she does. She really takes her time to teach the children and gets happy for the little accomplishments (witch my son and I both appreciate) I would definitely recommend coach Nikki and also the whole "Solar swim and Gym" in general. Very clean, helpful and friendly staff, punctual and a well managed place.

We have done three partys there its a good place but it is pricey if your party goes over 20 people.they charge 8 a person after. plus they charge lifeguard fee and dont tell you and we didnt even see one until I asked I guess they stay in the office come in and out.also we felt like we were getting monitored all the time that our kids would get in trouble for anything which made it uncomfortable.unfortunately we have a big family so will prbly not be going back last party was almost 400 for 3 hours..

This is a cute neighborhood gym. They have a lot of equipment, both inside and out. The owner, Ingrid has been teaching kids for ages. She comes off a little hardcore, but she has an amazing level of intuition for what kids need and can do. Believe me, she knows what your kid needs and can do in the water Better than you. Don't be a wimpy parent!
