Good enough for swimming and fitness. But little expensive. Anyway good for youur health in my view.

Nice pools but with the initiation fees and high monthly dues they should offer towel service like the YMCA or other similar-priced clubs.

It is very worse swimming class. I had really very bad experience. I already wasted lots of money. My kids are taking group swim lessons. They change instructors every time and every time instructor gives different result. My kids repeated class for 5-6 times for every level and still they are in same level and there is total 6 level. Instructor don’t focus on kid’s need. They teach as per their pattern. I can’t trust on their swimming lesson and report cards. I complained at front desk. Front desk staff are cooperative but they mostly say contact to Amenda. I sent her email so many times but she never reply back. It is so frustrating.

Front desk today is quire rude. Some black lady from frontdesk argued without a reason, without saying excuse me or sorry. Very frustrating experience in otherwise decent club.

Been attending for a few years now. I swim laps for my back and hips. Love the big indoor pool though many swim outside all year too. wonderful management and employees. I love that I can have a private shower and private dressing room. Well worth the money! I also love that it opens early mornings.. I get up early to get in and out before traffic and crowds. I would be there at 4:30am if they opened that early! ;-)

Hi, Ive been a member for a few years. They have always kept the facility clean but now during Covid times they have stepped up the cleaning and the place looks cleaner than a hospital every time I go there. Now during Covid they have group classes, swimming pools open, tennis courts available plus ample shady outdoor space for workouts if you dont want to be inside. I am very glad I am a member here because I am able to be working out and going to the gym unlike so many other people. Also, I noticed Samena treats their workers well and have tried very hard to not lay off staff during these tough times.

Cancelled our membership because we were tired of being confined to 1 small portion of the indoor pool every time we went, while 2/3 of the pool was dedicated to lane swimming that was hardly used. Not sure why on busy weekends you make the family swimmers suffer. I put a suggestion in the box and never heard anything from management and nothing changed. Good riddance.

Ive had a family membership for several years and visit at least 3 times a week to use the indoor pool. The indoor pool is available year round and is kept quite warm. I swim in the evenings (after 7pm) and the lanes arent very crowded for doing lap swim. Half the pool is open at that time for people (mostly kids) to play games and just have fun.I generally swim a few miles when I go while my kids play and then we warm up in the hot tub before cleaning up and going home. I go about 150 times a year and the facility is generally well maintained.

Samena is the quintessential neighborhood swim club. It offers something for all ages for water activities and has a workout gym too. But most of all this is a great family swim club that offers excellent swim lessons for your kids to an excellent swim team as they progress and want to compete. They have been teaching kids how to swim for over 60 years! It also offers before and after school activities and a great pre-school for the younger children. Summertime at the club is the best place for families with their children.

Its a community swim center with now than just a local community feel to it! They have a heated indoor pool (25m long), a heated outdoor pool (25 yards long), an outdoor wading pool, and an indoor hot tub. Each adult locker room has their sauna. Family/kids locker rooms are separated from adult changing rooms. Theres also an upstairs small gym and outdoor tennis court!! Theres lots to do and lots of activities like a movie the pool!

This is one of the best places I have ever seen. I put my son in pre school. They take good care of him. The ambiance is great. The timings are perfect for family swim. I recommend this for all family members

Wonderful place. The staff is awesome. My kids love this place. They could use a bigger hot tub and the fitness area is not awesome. Pools are very clean and not over chlorinated. Great place!!!

Honestly not for special kids, they wont bother much to teach special need kids, I feel they treat special kids like garbage.... very disappointing... they insists either to go for private classes or adaptive classes which will attract more money....EVAN SONG... need a lot to learn to treat special kids... he need serious trainig...

Good place and now lot of crowd. Their booking options are irritating. Every month we need to book and that also not sure we will get spot on next month. They should give yearly booking options.

One of the best swimming clubs in bellevue. The staff is very competent are are good at their work. Its so popular that if you miss the first day of enrollment, you will hardly get your preferred slot. My kid love the place and the instructors. Shes had atleast 4 different instructors in as many months but every new instructor is better than the other.. the management and customer service could be improved a bit, but apart from it I am lucky to have found this club for my kid.. 5 stars..

Impossible to see the wall at night when flip-turning, but at least they have good blocks? Also beware of occasional heater problems.

Nice facilities and mostly friendly helpful staff. Sometimes the online and printed schedules dont match with reality. Also need some work on the tennis courts. All in all though, good place to workout.

My son had swimming classes with 2 instructors and they were very good. But the management and scheduling is a total disaster. For example, i called to asked about the instructor, the front desk doesnt know. I need to come in to find out. If a instructor doesnt show up in the day of the class, they dont notify you. Such waste of my time to plan and come in to find out that the class was cancelled.

I have very bad experience with One of the Instructor name Mark. His attitude and misbehavior shocked my son and me he asked to us come at 6.30 instead of his regular timings at 7pm, and he started arguing with me that he was communicated to me from previous class. In reality he spoke to someone else and without admitting his mistake he started arguing take your son and I alreaday communicated.When I reported Samena administrator all he want is he wanted to say sorry for his next class. Does this punishment is good enough for him for his indecent behavior? I cant take it!!! if a person who doesn;t know how to speak to kid and parents so I am dropping of my entire classes with Samena until Management come and fire him for couple of month to realize with his bad nature.

Gave 1 Star as no option to give 0 star :-(pros: Only for members, completely biased and worst service.Cons: If you are planning to enroll due to cheap price its nothing but stupidity. Refer below calculation to understand more clearly.6 kids per instructor for 30 mins = 5 mins per kid * 2 days in a week = 10 mins per weekSo totally 40 mins per month. (Money 130 $)Pro sport club: 2-3 kids per instructor for 30 mins = 10 mins per kid * 1 day in week = 10 mins.So totally 40 mins per month. (Money 90$).They will first charge money without any confirmation, then wait for 10 -15 days and then ask you to change your schedule/Cancel.If you really care about your kids swimming sessions never get fooled by price and days.

We been members for over 5 years the Club keeps going down hill the hot tub is All WAYS Closed due to they are to cheap to fix the hot tub the right way .The Outdoor pool is closed at least 1 day a week, in the Summer due to swim meets its not about the members its about them making money for there swim,meets .Parking sucks in the Summer due to pee wee basebase So,when,there are games good luck finding parking .Mens locker rooms need to be updated its kinda like your locker room in Hi school .Staff is nice its clean The tennis courts are cracked and need to,be redone .If you want a outdoor pool its great When its open I say swim team use the indoor poolSo the outdoor pool is closed at 230 TUE and Thrusdays until the end of July for swim meets I say refund the members since we cant use the pool on nice days like this in,Summer I give 1 star ..Its one step below the YMCA

Be super carful when signing for it. I paid fulled for one full year, but unfortunately I could not attend the last 6 Months of it. Then I got a bill with some hundred of dollars because the membership just renew by itself. ( probably my fault for not reading the small letters in the contract) that is ok but what I am mad about was that, I explained my situation and they made me pay for something I never used after all. I call that, robbery! So so so so disappointed, Im definitely not coming back!BTW, in the other one, The same thing happened on the PRO-Club in Bellevue, but they did understood my situation and waive the balance for me.

Do you want your child to fear from water? Bring him to Ethan... he will leave no stones unturned to ensure you toddler fears water, and never learns to swim.
