If you have ever taken your young child to a park district swim lessons and felt it lacked...well...instruction of any kind, then I think you will find the lessons at the RAC incredibly worthwhile. It costs a bit more as a non-member, but just in the short time that our son has been taking lessons (about 9 months) this three year-old has made huge strides being in the pool/lessons without a parent, going under water, swimming by himself to the side of the pool, and generally loving being in the water. This is especially significant given that he used to cry and cling to us in water. We've had the chance to take lessons from Ryan and Jossie, both of whom our son adores. While they each have unique styles, both share a playful but direct style of communication and interacting with the kids that builds immediate trust and respect. I have recruited several friends to take their kids here and while each had initial concerns about the cost or about it being too hard to get to from NE Portland, they too are converts and BIG fans after seeing their kids make such progress and having fun.

Otherwise, the club is lovely (with a recent remodel) and we regularly make a day of it by going to a lesson, staying for lunch at their cafe, or going for a walk on the riverfront. If you are thinking of doing swim lessons for your kids and you want them to learn to be independent and love the water, RAC is worth the investment.

I just had a massage with Janet and it was the best I ever had! She listened to what I needed and proceeded to take care of it beyond my expectations. The ambience was perfect: lavender scented oil, dim lighting, freakishly clean, heated massage table, and she even gave me suggestions to do when I'm home.

this club has convenient parking,good swimming lessons for the kids,nice front desk staff. I would like to see more programs available for the kids though. the spa is ok as they now have some good technicians.

My many experiences at the Pointe Day Spa have all been wonderful. The staff is incredibly helpful and their products are outstanding. My skin is in better shape now than I ever thought it could be - thank you Rebecca & Yonka!
I also enjoy utilizing the health clubs locker room service before my appointments. I can take a steam or sit in a sauna to unwind before my massage to get the most out of it. Don't forget to ask for your complimentary tea/wine or mimosa before your appointment - those help the relaxing process as well:)
I highly recommend The Pointe Day Spa.

I have been receiving facials & other spa services for many years now and the service & treatment I have been given at The Pointe is unsurpassed. I've seen two different estheticians there and both are incredibly knowledgeable and have a great talent for skin care. Front desk staff is always quick with a smile, ambiance is comfortable, and I love being given the choice of a nice cup of hot tea or a glass of wine or even a mimosa! Also a bonus is the spa uses two different product lines for skin care, both of which I love! Waxing is as comfortable as it gets, massage therapists are super and the nail technicians are friendly and personable. I've purchased gift cards for several friends/family members and they all seem to have the same wonderful experience I have each time I am there. Thank you so much Pointe Day Spa!
