Felix's Swim School Downtown

Horrible facility to work at, the son of the manager that owns that place is extremely arrogant, disrespectful, rude, and ignorant. He treats his staff poorly and does not communicate efficiently when there is an issue going on. They said there would be parking for staff but there barely isn’t any parking there, and the son David barley cares about you even though you are working for his facility. Extremely frustrating and irresponsible, I would highly recommend anyone not to work for this location.

I was so glad I enrolled my 3 yo at Felix's swim school (downtown). My daughter was petrified of water and getting her face wet. By the end of the 11 sessions, I was so incredibly proud to see her confidently jumping in the water, floating, and being able to grasp objects underwater. I give all the credit to her teacher, Ms Azi, who was just wonderful. She is kind, patient, and is excellent with kids. She made sure my daughter was reaching her goals at her own pace and encouraged her every step of the way. In every class they had a total of three kids with one teacher (Azi) and 1-2 additional assistants so there was almost always a 1: 1 or 1: 2 teacher: student ratio. I was also given some tips on techniques that I could practice with my daughter at home. The admin are also professional and quick to respond to any questions. If you are looking for your child to start swimming lessons in Toronto, I would highly recommend this place (especially Ms Azi!).

My daughter is enrolled at Swim School here. She was very afraid to get into the water but the staff and instructors worked very hard to make her comfortable entering the water! I was so grateful and happy when she finally got in. Felix swim school went above and beyond in my opinion allowing my daughter to stay for the next class to ensure she would be more comfortable for the following week considering it took her awhile to get used to the water. Defiantly the best place for swim school for your little ones. I am very eager to see what the next few months will bring.

I just completed the 8-week beginner adult swim program at the downtown location. Before this program, I was afraid of the water and never floated in my life. I've always wanted to bite the bullet and take a class, but the few 1-on-1 classes I found were too expensive and I wanted something recurring. The City of Toronto's group classes were cheaper but impossible to get into.
Felix's Swim School was the best option I could find and I'm so glad I went for it. It's a group class with about 5-6 instructors. I didn't always have the same instructor each class, but the ratio of instructor to student was usually about 1: 2 or 1: 3 so there was a lot of individual attention. Because of this program, I felt comfortable in the water for the first time in my life. I learned to float and even to front crawl with side breathing. I am in awe of my progress here and I am so thankful to the instructors who taught me these essential skills. It's never too late to learn to swim. Shout out to Mo, Azi, and Oliver for being so patient with me, I'll never forget it!

The place itself is good, most of the people who work there are really nice and professional, but I had the worst experience with the bald guy who’s name is Peter (if I’m not wrong) I think he is one of the guards, but I have seen him talking really bad with other staff and also kids. I was trying to ask a few questions but he didn’t even listen to me, even my kid had the same complaints!
This guy is acting like he is forced to do the job and is behaving a really bad manner. I would give more stars for the place itself.
