After roughly 18 consecutive years of being loyal patrons, at the request of our 12 year old…read moredaughter, our family left DeVeau's School of Gymnastics. Our child was made to feel uncomfortable and unsafe by owner/operator, Luke Lautzenheiser. It's been a few months and she still cries daily. DeVeau's coins itself as "...your kid's HAPPY PLACE" but how is that the case when a child is bullied and retaliated against (by the new owner) at the only gym she's known since age 3? This review is not to bash the gym but to share our heartbreaking experience. For my 12 year old child- it's about kids hearing the devastating voice of their peer and her inability to comprehend being bullied and retaliated against by an 'adult' at a place she once called her second home. For us as parents- it's about an unbelievable experience at a place we've loved, raved about and supported for many years and the continual mental trauma our 12 year old daughter suffers from months after making one of the hardest decisions of her little life. DeVeau's isn't the same place it used to be. Now the new owner walks out on the practice floor to intimidate children during practice. It's a place where children who are learning/practicing skills that if not fully focused could potentially cause harm being put in the position to focus on- Is Mr. Luke going to approach me today and if so, when and where? That was our child's focus at practice even with parental support in attendance. After giving notice, Luke still found a way to come after her by having his program manager attempt to keep her from competing at (what my kid calls "Big Kid's Nationals") USA Gymnastics Championships (although she qualified at her first competition) by failing to register her and not telling us until after the deadline. Yes, this happened at DeVeau's. Thankfully, a new gym (out of state) allowed her to join their team and they were able to get that corrected so she could practice and compete at Nationals. Sadly, this is the kind of retaliatory behavior that happens when a child doesn't agree to stay at DeVeau's once the gym owner apologizes after admittedly making her feel uncomfortable. Unfortunately, there are no other trampoline and tumbling programs in the Indianapolis area so our daughter had to give up her dream of continuing the sport for her current safety. There are so many wonderful coaches at DeVeau's and they are the best part of the gym. Even with the traumatic experience our daughter endured, she does have many wonderful memories of her time with coaches she loves. Those experiences are the things we will cherish. Hopefully those memories will help her in her healing process.

They…read moreabsolutely LOVED their instructors and I was amazed at how quickly they became confident and independent in the water. They received attentive instruction from all of their coaches and progressed through the program eventually joining the competitive team. My oldest even eventually became an instructor for the developmental program. The competitive coaches work hard to instill a team atmosphere among the various groups both in and out of the pool. My kids fell in love with the sport through ACST. The coaches, board of directors, and swim families provide a strong support system for swimmers and parents alike. We only left the program following our move. I highly recommend ACST for the beginning swimmer as well as those wanting to continue to a more competitive level. I believe they have even added a Masters club recently. Great program!!

If I could give this place less than one star, I would. My two kids loved the pool, so I thought it…read morewas time to get them swimming lessons. Both my 5 and 7 year-old placed into the beginning class. I watched their class from the bleachers which had either one or two other students, depending on the day. You are not able to interact with the instructor as a parent, and I never knew her name. I watched my kids become increasingly apprehensive until one day I watched the instructor dunking my 5 year old daughter repeatedly while she would scream and cry in between dunkings. The other children in the group got scared and all jumped out of the water and backed away from her in fear. When I went to the administration, after hearing my story, they talked to the instructor and told me my kids weren't ready to learn to swim and refused to participate. They did at least give me my money back, but I was most upset that they have instructors that would do that, then blame the child for it. I had to find another place quickly, because I didn't want the fear to stick. I got them into other lessons within a week, and after 4 months, my son has mostly gotten over the fear instilled in him by ACST's instructor, but my daughter still has some lingering issues. She will at least get in the pool as long as she can touch the bottom, but she is afraid of going underwater at all and still starts crying when she hears the word "bob." I would not recommend ACST for children to learn to swim.

Who knows, but I was saddened by the lack of sportsmanship modeled by coaching staff, and I was unimpressed by the "draft" they now use to create teams. No. I don't think they draft, but whatever system they use to build teams is rather political and does not seem to have the best interest of players in mind. They used to balance out teams with ages and ability if possible. That does not seem to be the way now and it is sad because the players trying to learn the sport are the ones who suffer.

I was bringing my grandchild for swim lessons. She loved it and was engaged. She has always hated…read moregetting her eyes wet. Even as a baby. I know that they are trying to get you to the point of being not reliant on anything to help you swim. But the owner pulled her out of a group at the end of a session. And while all the other children were playing, forced her to try to blink water out of her eyes. To the point where she was crying. She does not cry. I would think with years of experience that the owner would've handled our situation better. And when I brought it up, I was told she left "empowered". She was not. The next several sessions when I brought her back, she would not jump in the pool anymore, and she would not go underwater. She would cry. And did not want to go to any more lessons. At our pool, she was swimming without any type of swimmies and utilizing some of the skills she learned.... jumping and going underwater, getting to the edge and getting out of the pool. We allowed her to swim to the edge and get out of the pool and wipe her eyes. Not every child is the same, and you cannot bully someone into doing what you think they should. Sometimes it takes more patience. And we were getting there until she was singled out and made to cry. Also, the first location in Greenfield was very good. The main instructor was awesome. She also had her utilizing the blink method with some success. But at the new location in New Palestine, the new instructors were not as good. And unfortunately, the owner made things worse.

Overall the instructors are really nice and patient with little kids. I would say this program is…read moregeared towards children 8 and under. BEWARE of the billing. You sign up online and then they auto-bill your credit card monthly despite not allowing you to cancel in the app and sending you emails that you cannot reply too. This was a hard lesson learned. I told our swim instructor we would be attending 4 classes with our 3 kids and then we would be done. We had an unforeseen event in the family which necessitated us being out of state for a few weeks. I got a verbal response from the instructor (again very nice) and assumed it was done. This was my mistake. We were out of town and when I checked my personal email after 6 weeks (also my mistake) we had been billed for 2 sessions. After I emailed the "email for new class scheduling" I got a response saying I had to submit cancellation to the office in writing. Currently they are "looking into the matter" but I am not optimistic I will be reimbursed or they will make it right. If they do I will update the review. In conclusion I would never ever have worked with this company. The instructors are nice but their business practices less so. This review is for Indianapolis area of Indiana - through Hamilton Co.

The center is in an unassuming building with ample parking in their lot. You walk in and the scent of poop water hits you -- but it's much better than at hotels. After a check in at the front desk and a short explanation of how things worked, we were ready to change for class. The front room has chairs facing big windows so guests can watch the classes and stay dry. There are cubbies for your stuff out in the open as well as a lost and found section and plenty of magazines in case you need reading material. Three changing stalls with curtains and three individual bathrooms with changing table, toilet and sink are available. Right after classes get out, these can fill fast so you may have a wait. I went in to the pool area for the Water Babies class to take photos, which they allow you to do. My sister and my niece enjoyed roughly 30 minutes of singing songs and acclimating babies to the water. They practiced moving on their stomachs as well as their backs, had some tummy time on a floating mat, and practiced cues for swimming and gripping the walls. It was really cute to watch, but more than that, I could tell the instructor loves what she does and knows her stuff when it comes to babies in the water. I caught glimpses of other classes -- toddlers to maybe 6 year olds or so -- and the instructors were kind and knowledgeable and the kids were having fun. I'd give this place 4 stars on a first impression, but wouldn't be surprised if they move up to 5 in the coming weeks as I get to know them more. :)

It's cool to see this community grow and I'll definitely be back for a class! My friend and I tried the Friday morning upper body class and I'd love to try a lower body next time. Very inclusive of age as well ranging from kids up to adults.
