5 Stars - An Exceptional Swim School with Outstanding Management…read more Our family has had a wonderful experience at Waterworks Swim School, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment you walk in, the facility is clean, well-maintained, and welcoming . The staff at the front desk are always friendly and accommodating, making scheduling and make-up lessons incredibly easy . What truly sets Waterworks apart, though, is the quality of the instruction. Our son, Connor, had made remarkable progress in his swimming skills and water safety. Their instructors are patient, skilled, and fantastic with kids, creating a fun and positive learning environment. Our son is now a high caliber club swimmer thanks to the instructors at Waterwokrs A huge part of our positive experience comes down to the management. The team, led by Steve, ensures the facility runs smoothly and efficiently. It's clear that he and the entire management staff care deeply about both the students and the parents. They foster a supportive atmosphere where excellent instructors are hired and empowered to do their best work, and they are always responsive to any questions or needs we have . If you are looking for a swim school that prioritizes progress, safety, and professionalism, look no further than Waterworks. Thank you, Steve, and the whole Waterworks team, for such a great experience!

"I apologize for lying to you. I promise I won't deceive you except in matters of this sort."―Spiro…read moreT. Agnew I've been on a quest to get my 5-year-old to learn how to swim through various means. We had success at finding a good place at Saratoga Star Aquatics (http://goo.gl/zqCS7v), but the distance issue from my south SJ home forced me to look elsewhere. A friend recommended to me Pinehurst Cabana Club which was both close to home and fit my budget. Our experience there was so-so, and I've decided to break it down with another rendition of my the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The Good -Reasonable price of $60/week for either x5 (M-Fri) 30-minute morning lessons (10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.) or x4 (M-Thu) 30-minute evening lessons (6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.) -Instructors were great and my son really enjoyed his time with them. -The pool itself is immaculate and seems to be kept up very well. -Great location that was only five minutes from my parent's house and about ten from mine. It's also only a few minutes from Hwy 87 and Capitol Expwy Auto Mall. -The class sizes are really small, with a max of four kids, but he was usually either one-on-one or with only one other kid. The Bad -The getting screwed out of one lesson for the same price because you can't make it during the day is kinda shitty, and no real reason was given. -The club itself is old, outdated and in major need of a renovation. Some of the pool furniture/patio sets there have seen their better days, and the bathrooms are pretty bad, as well. -Limited lesson season that only last from June - August The Ugly -They have a really strict cancellation policy, that I'm not sure they explain very well. Yes, it's clearly stated on the contract you sign, but nobody reads that. My Mom was the one who initially signed him up because we wanted him to have day lessons. So the first week goes off without a hitch, and then the second week he has his Monday lesson and the next day he wakes up feeling a bit sick. So my Mom calls to let them know he's feeling sick and she claims the lady she spoke with offered to just move his lessons to next week. My mom agree and that's that―or so we thought. They were all booked up for days during that 3rd week so he got pushed to the 6:30 p.m. time slot. We arrive that day and they are asking for a payment. I told them that they pushed his last week's classes to this week and they said they would have to check. After speaking with my mom she claims they never said anything about forfeiting the $60 and having to pay for the next week's classes seperate. The "manager" who claims that she spoke with my mom swears that she told her about the policy before moving him to the following week, but I think that's complete BS. I don't like to call people liars, but I know my Mom and she's just as cheap as me. There's no way she would've just let $60 go right down the drain―especially since the boy was feeling better by Thursday. I didn't feel like arguing and didn't want to get into a she said-she said nonsense, so I reluctantly paid up. I wasn't happy, but the contract is the contract. I've watched too much Judge Judy to try and fight it. The whole thing was probably just a "miscommunication," but they need to make themselves *crystal* clear when dealing in matters of money. Ultimately, I think we will still be back next Summer for more lessons. The price, location and great instructors will triumph over the bitter taste in my mouth from the rescheduling fiasco. Recommended for getting your wee one swim lessons, just beware the fine print.

When it came time to look for summer swimming lessons it was an easy choice for us to chose Brighton. The pool and the area around it was always clean. I was able to relax and enjoy watching my daughter swim. My son did not take lessons but was able to go with me and entertain himself with the tetherball and pin pong table while he waited. The lessons themselves were awesome too. We had a young man named Johnathon whom my daughter adored. He was so good for her. He right on target at picking up on my daughters abilities and needs of improvement during the first lesson. He was a great teacher and was also able to be playful in his lessons to make it more interesting. Crystal Kurotori was super friendly and informative too. Over all the entire crew was great. We would definitely return for and recommend the facility for lessons.

It's staffed most weekends with lifeguards and gate attendants. There are tables, lounge chairs, charcoal bbq's, umbrellas, snack bar, and bathrooms. We did swimming lessons this summer and I was very impressed with the swim instructors. All lessons are 1:1 and offered in the morning M-Th for 50 minutes. The price is a great value for the length of the lesson and 1:1 student teacher ratio. Our teacher was Gaby, and by the end of the second week my daughter (4.5 yrs old) was able to swim underwater a few feet by herself. The parents are allowed to be on the pool deck too.

I like this gym, it's a bit more like a club than purely a gym, but I don't really use the club…read morefacilities so the gym part is what I'm reviewing here. No tennis, no pool, no snack bar. Anyway, there are three key things for me when it comes to a gym. First is cleanliness, second is shower facilities, third is equipment. AVAC is a relatively small gym and I tend to go at off hours. This means not many people, so thankfully it's very clean inside. If you think about a 24 Hour Fitness or similar, they have hundreds of people constantly working out, there's no way to uphold hygiene standards. AVAC, despite being small, has frequent cleanings happening, which is nice. The showers at AVAC are... okay. On the plus side, they provide towels, which is a dealbreaker for me. Who wants to bring their own towel to a gym? So that's a big convenience factor. The towels have been bleached and washed to the point they are marginally more absorbent than copy paper and quite rough, but I guess a towel is a towel. The showers themselves are workable but not ideal. Communal in nature, which I personally find awkward, but going at off hours at least allows me to have them to myself or only 1-2 others at most. If it was packed I'd probably wait, it's just too weird. The shampoo and body wash are not very high quality, kind of reminds me of what you'd get at a cheap motel. But again, at least it's there. I also don't want to cart my own soap around. For the gym's size, the equipment variety and quantity is good. I've never not been able to get a treadmill, I've always been able to get the free weights I want, and there are usually benches available. The only thing in short supplies are squat racks, of which there are two, and space for deadlifts, which is basically also two. I would say the gym's clientele leans towards... not people doing those types of exercise. So I haven't typically had to wait, but again I also don't go at peak hours. There are also tons of machines, if you're the type of person who thinks isolation exercises are good. Better than nothing I suppose, but that's just me. AVAC offers a lot of free classes, of which I've taken none. They also have a snack bar, which I've never used. There's also a pool (not the swim school pool which is like 2.5' high) and a kiddie pool outside, neither of which I've been in. And there are tennis courts and pickleball and some outdoor fitness area, which, you guessed it, I have never been to. I wouldn't say AVAC is a destination gym the way Bay Clubs are, but if you're closeby it's probably the best one around. They also have plenty of parking in back in two lots.

To make matters worse, the website said guest passes were $5, but we were told guests weren't allowed at all. That's completely misleading and feels like false advertising. When we asked for clarification, the manager, Ashley, was noticeably rude and dismissive. Her attitude was unprofessional and really soured the experience. If you're going to close the pool for private events or change guest policies, communicate that clearly. We won't be returning, and I'd advise others to call ahead--because the information online can't be trusted.
