RSL Aquatics

The cutest spot to bring your kiddos to learn to swim. They offer all types of services from beginners, to lap swim and even aqua-fit classes. If you're in the Upland area, you should definitely stop by!

We love RSL Aquatics! The entire staff is the absolute sweetest and truly gives the feel of a team effort. The scheduling staff has been the kindest and most helpful individuals and have worked hard to find the best time to help schedule my four kids, to the staff who has shown us around to make us feel at home and greet us joyfully each lesson, to the amazing instructors who truly desire to make learning to swim educational and fun.

My 4 kids can not stop talking about their lessons and are dying for their next lesson. As my oldest said at her lesson the other day, "They make learning to swim so fun!"

Their teachers help them to understand the importance of good form but also endurance. I couldn't be more gratefully for how in a few lessons how much children have improved! Thank you RSL! We can't wait for our next lesson!

I cannot say enough good things about this place!!! I brought my 2.5 year old here to get comfortable with the water and learn to go underwater. Saw they had good reviews, had good pricing, and were just down the street from me so decided to give it a try. He was shy and nervous at first. He would tell Tammy at the front desk every day "I don't want to do it", but every time he was in the water he was doing what the instructors told him to and ended up loving it. By the 4th session he was saying "I'm going to be a big boy" and looked forward to swimming with Natalie and Kendra. They were great with him and I loved how much Natalie would push him to try new things. The staff was so great and they even went out of their way to get some videos for us moms in the Parent & Me class since our hands were full! We'll be coming back for the beginner class & we're both looking forward to it

Hands down best place to get your kids to swim. Our three kids all learned to swim here. Dont waste your time trying other places, go to RSL and see the difference for your self. Owners that are involved and a staff that cares plus an amazing facility!

I can't say enough amazing things about RSL. Rene and Dave, and the entire staff for that matter, have given my children the gift of loving to swim. My boys have been in some sort of swim lessons since 6 months old, usually at the YMCA. But they peaked there and when we found RSL last year, they took them to the next level and also gave them confidence, joy, skill mastery and a lifelong sport.
RSL will not only make your child water safe, but they will teach them to become good swimmers and find a love in the sport.

My daughter took swimming classes here for two weeks, at first, she seem to love it, but that changed very quickly. She started to NOT want to go & would cry for me to not take her. It was the strangest thing because she loves the water. But I quickly came to realize the issue, it was the instructor & the staff, they are extremely cold, especially the owners daughter, she would yell at my daughter, (& other kids) in such a Condescending/ Cold way to get her feet out of the water because my daughter would be there exactly 2 minutes before her lesson. I totally understand that there are safety rules but seriously, you're talking to a child, you could find a nicer way.
& of course the owner of this establishment or lie, and say that my daughter was swimming b4 her lesson, but was she out there , NO.

Was just sitting in class talking with other parents about how much we love this place. They have such good teaching methods. My four-year-old has become a surprisingly strong swimmer--so great not to feel afraid of him falling in--and he's always asking to sign up for an other round of lessons. He just has a great time. The facility is gorgeous and we love the teachers. I recommend especially coming for lessons in the fall and winter--lessons are greats all they round, much in low season, the classes are smaller, so the kids get even more attention.

I wanted to share our experience with RSL Aquatics because I appreciate the knowledge and skills that my daughter has gained from attending here so far.

We actually booked our first beginner session in the Fall of 2022 the night when my daughter had a near drowning incident in the care of a family member. I literally just googled the nearest swim lessons and found RSL. She was in love with splashing around in the water before but this incident made her fearful of any pool. Her first day in the pool she was not having it and was clearly upset because she didn't want to go in. Rene, the owner, thought it was best that our daughter instead join the parent and me class with my husband and it made a world of difference and she got comfortable and started enjoying the water again.

Our daughter eventually made it into the beginner class less fearful of water and I have nothing but great things to say about the instructors. My daughter is more cautious than normal so it takes her a bit to warm up to new instruction/skills being taught and I love that the instructors are patient and kind with her. While the instructors are awesome, make class fun, and are patient as mentioned, they are not there to coddle our kids and I appreciate their style in teaching because swim safety is extremely important especially in our case where things could have turned out way differently. This is coming from a mom who gentle parents (not that it works all the time lol).

We continue to work with our daughter outside of class to keep swim skills up especially in months where we aren't able to take her. The instructors have worked extremely well with my daughter and she has shown progression and confidence in jumping in the water by herself, getting rings that are thrown in the pool, and swimming. The entire staff is great and we really see the love the owner and the instructors have for swim safety.

The facility is set up nicely and inviting. They have ample space to sit and watch your kids swim under umbrellas. They also have an area where green turf is where I like to dry off my little one after swim and relax for a bit. A vending machine is located outside where snacks and drinks are available for purchase.

We've been going to RSL since it was in Renee's backyard. My daughter since she was 2 years old and my son started at the age of 1. They are simply the best swim school around. We've tried others closer to home and switched back to RSL. It's much more personal, the teachers are amazing, and Renee and her family are involved in the day to day operations, always walking around and helping direct students when they need it. We have a child who's been struggling with outside things and they've been working with her to make the class a little bit more manageable. We really appreciate what they've been able to accomplish with our kids who are both very comfortable, respectful of, and safe around water now. Thank you RSL Aquatics!

My kids love this place. They are very flexible with each months schedule and very friendly and caring. Happy with the service.
