Timpany Center

I used to really like this place but the rude attitude of the staff an lifeguards is a turn off. We used to be able to swim with our kids after their lesson for 10 minutes then that went away. Now apparently it is all about money if my son wants to go in before his lesson he has to pay. They also gave my husband a wrist band (he paid) and it was the wrong color and the lifeguard was upset and went in to change it. While this was being sorted out she was technically on the swim deck but not looking at the pool so i dont see how much «lifeguarding» was going on in the water.
I watch the lifeguards intereupt lessons to talk to the teachers so that just takes time out of kids swim time. I wouldn’t be here if i didn’t love my coach and even that might not be enough to keep me. But i am sure that in 2 weeks they will have all new rules that they might or might not enforce for a few weeks with a vengence and then abandon (again).

Although it says it’s in willow glen I don’t think so since san Jose city college and valley medical center are west (and this is across the street next to bascom) but anyway my kids have adapted swim lessons and the teachers are great. Indoor pool and family locker room. We’ve had more than 1 set of lessons and will have more.

This place is great. Perfect for the person who wants to just be in the water and exercise, swim, walk, deep water exercise or rehab. The majority of the pool is 4′ deep, so even if you can’t swim you can still use the pool. The pool is so warm and very comfortable. Finish off the workout with a dip in the jacuzzi.

This place has a great facility for swimming especially for those recovering from strokes or brain injuries.
The pool is specifically made for those with disabilities. They have a ramp to get in and wide stairs at a very low slope also. Makes it good for practicing your walking exercises in and out of the pool.
All the people are very friendly and outgoing. It’s a supportive group of people.

My elderly father was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, the doctor prescribed PT in the warm water pool at Timpany Center. My dad was apprehensive, however the first therapy session in the pool was a huge success and he looks forward to future sessions. The therapists are excellent. A great resource for people who cannot tolerate land-​based PT.

First time here and accompanied a family member for a swim class. The place is very conducive for first time swimmers. There are lots of teachers who teach babies as well as younger kids how to kick, dive and put their head under water.
There are 3 lanes for swimming and plenty of room in the pool for kids and their parents. There are chairs, benches and hooks around the pool for parents to watch and for items to be hung.
There’s a parking lot and vending machines outside the pool.

We have 2 kids who look forward to their lessons at Timpany Center. Brian and Jeremy have been their instructors so far, and they are great!
We put our kids thru swim lessons at various schools, and were about to give up after multiple crying sessions. A friend recommended Timpany and we signed up with skepticism. We were thrilled when the kids loved their first lesson and did not want to come out of the pool. They have been thru lessons for a couple of months now and are doing great!

I go to Timpany to swim. The locker rooms are clean and functional– they have locker rooms for women, men and families. The pool/​office staff is nice and the warm water is great for aching joints and muscles. I swim at the «adult swim» times for lap swimming and the other swimmers are very good at sharing the lane. Most adults walk rather than swim laps and there are more lanes for them. I asked for flags so that when swimming on your back you have something to see, and within 2 weeks they put one up. Nice staff, great pool.

I go here for Pilates… work sponsored fitness. There are programs here that SJSU runs… swim lessons, i think Yoga too. There is a huge indoor pool. At the back of this building is Kiddango Child Care Center.

My son has been taking lessons here for almost a year and we love it! He began taking lessons at SCSC shortly after he turned one, but he wasn’t doing well, mostly because of the water temperature.
The Timpany Center staff is wonderful (Pamela has been his only instructor) and his class size has never been more than 3. My son has always loved the water, but wasn’t enjoying swim lessons until we started classes here. The water temperature is great (almost too warm), the wade-​in pool is ideal for little ones, and the relaxed atmosphere makes learning fun.
Will will continue to take lessons at the Timpany Center and will also sign our youngest son up for classes when he is old enough.

This review is just for Timpany Swim Lessons (not Sharky’s swim school which is also run out of the center).
Some reviewers may be misled by Khristine’s review from May, 2010 regarding swim lessons. Be aware, there are 2 swim schools run out of the Timpany Center, Sharkie’s swim school and then the Timpany center itself sponsors swim lessons. This review is for the Timpany-​sponsored lessons only.
We signed our son up for swim lessons and this is our 3^rd try (we tried DACA at age 3, Club One at age 4 which we liked but was booked), and now Timpany Center. Our son just turned 5 and is finally READY for swim lessons so that helps a lot.
His instructor Brian, a college kid I assume, many instructors are from SJSU, is awesome. He is very laid back, friendly, and fun. The kids really respond to him and he is the only instructor to get my kid to actually put his face in the water, etc. We are only going into week 3 of lessons but I can already tell they will be successful compared to past attempts!
The pool is very warm which helps with the younger kids and the locker rooms are clean and functional. I highly recommend this as an alternative to the higher priced programs out there. Sharkie’s is also reasonable priced and run out of the same pool and we may try that in the future as well for more flexible times if needed.

The swim center is excellent. The pool is nice and warm, not crowded. The men’s locker room is clean and functional. The staff are friendly and helpful.
My only nit, is the jets in the spa/​whirlpool don’t have enough pressure.

I took a yoga class here before – it was ok. The room was dark and gloomy, I didn’t like it. The instructor I had was OK, this place isn’t very new and their equipments seem old.
