Buckler Aquatics Ltd

Very nice staff, but the environment is a little dark and dead! It should be more kids friendly. More light. Old change room with broken and rusted hangers.: (

My daughter loves swimming here for swimming lessons. We started her at 4 months and plan to continue as she grows. Only reason for the 4 stars is that the facility could really use a face lift, the showers are cold, and sometimes the pool is filthy. There was literally a few times we came in for a swim lesson to find soil moving around at the bottom of the pool. Other than facilities swimming lessons are great here, and the instructors are really nice.

We have credits for make up classes that we couldn't go because of COVID, and are unable to reach someone to re-schedule. The staff never answers our calls, everything is done by leaving a voicemail, and they call you back (which they don't on most ocassions.) It's been a month now with several voicemail left, but the co-ordinator Jessica, at the McNicol location never calls back. Therefore we cannot book or even talk to someone. At this point I've given up, due to the frustration in dealing with this location. Would recommend paying per session because once they have your payment, they become very unreponsive.

I take my kid here for Water Babies. Overall, a good place. Just a little cold for the LO.

Great school! Our kids are now confident swimmers, who have learned to be safety conscious. We really like the instructors, teaching methods and focus on technique.

Our children have been students at Buckler Aquatics for 5 years. When our older two were younger, we tried a few other swimming schools but they both ended up choosing Buckler. They liked the warm water, the low teacher to student ratio, and most of all, the caring and patient instructors who encouraged them to do their best. They have since graduated from the Red Cross program and the oldest has now become a junior swim instructor. Our younger two, one of whom has special needs, are currently enrolled in weekly lessons. As parents, we also appreciate the generous make-up policy and open communications on our children’s progress. We would highly recommend taking swimming and water safety classes at Buckler Aquatics to anyone.

Both my children have attended Buckler’s North York pool for swimming lessons for 4 or 5 years now. In my experience the instructors at Buckler are very focused on developing proper technique for each stroke through one on one personalized instruction. As a swimmer myself I am delighted with the look and efficiency of my kids strokes, and am confident in their swimming skills - which I owe entirely to the instructors at Buckler. The price is higher than some schools, but the quality of instruction, the helpfulness of the office staff with scheduling/payment and the excellent cancelation / makeup lesson policy is well worth the cost!

Thank you so much for teaching my daughter to learn how to swim and to help her over come her fear of water! She is much more confident in the water and able to swim the lap of the pool without any difficulties. My daughter’s instructor and all of the staffs made her swimming lessons so much more enjoyable and a big thank you to the office staff for being courteous and accommodating for the make up classes. The staffs are enjoyable to talk to and I highly recommend Buckler Aquatics to anyone!

Thank you so much for teaching my daughter to learn how to swim and to enjoy swimming!
