Read More On Citysearch by goffmanbst7 at Citysearch 3/16/2011 - Almaden Valley Athletic Club and Swim School is WonderfulAVAC Swim School is the best! My five children all have learned too swim there; Not only is the facility wonderful, but the instructors are sensitive, love children, and very attentive. My children over 10 years, have taken hundreds of lessons at AVAC! I recommend AVAC SWIM SCHOOL highly! to the person who bad mouthed the program at AVAc, you must just be a jealous competitor, as nothing you say ...

My little girl who is only 3 is now terrified of the pool. She used to love swimming with mommy and daddy and after her first and last lesson at AVAC she shakes and cries if we want her to get onto the top step of the pool. the instructor ignored her and just tossed her into the water when we told them she had not yet put her head under water and then when she freaked out they just left her on th...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 5/20/2009 - Good Swim SchoolI like the school but it is EXPENSIVE!! Most teachers are great but I feel students sometimes don't make enough progress based on the teacher, their interaction with teachers etc. The classes have at most 4 kids in same age range & at similar swim level. They are pretty gentle with kids who are scared of water. The front desk staff are friendly and polite. So are the deck supervisors who always u...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 3/29/2009 - Parking can be a painThe gym's great. The only grouse I have is that parking can sometimes be a pain. There is swim school next door. Between 3 and 5 the swim school families park their SUVs in the AVAC parking lot even though they have been explicitly given a written policy asking them not to. The AVAC management does little to implement the policy. On a couple of occasions, I have had to drive away without working ...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 3/12/2009 - Stay Away -- This club is Unsafe!I was a member of AVAC for approximately one year. My locker was broken into and my personal items, including my clothes were stolen and the club did absolutely nothing to assist me despite statements that they would. I spoke with the General Manager, Sue Davis, when it happened. She informed me that it had happened in the past and that she would review the security tape and get back to me. ...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/31/2008 - Best Swimming FormIf you want your kids to be strong swimmers for life, then this is the place. Yes, the lessons are expensive. Yes, the children sometimes progress slowly. But if you hang in there, trust their well-researched techniques, and allow your child to progress all the way to the Flying Fish level (or beyond) you will be in awe of your child's swimming ability. Are there cheaper places? Yes. Do th...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 7/26/2006 - clean, indoor swim lessons
AVAC offers lessons year round. The facilities are clean and wall managed. Some teachers my kids like better than others, but you can not choose teachers. Lesson are offered at varying times, but you can not make up missed lessons. They have a well defined curriculum, but sometimes the kids seem to progress very slowly
PROS: clean, well managed, indoor lessons
CONS: pricey, no make up lessons...

Can't say I would go back to swim lessons there. Out of the 3 kids only one made any progress at all and that was marginal. And at the prices they charge I truly expected more out of them.
If you want to hear my stories let me know and I'll tell you. But they are not worth it as far as I'm concerned.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 7/13/2006 - Family-oriented clubMy husband has been going to this club for a few years and my kids and I just recently joined on a full facility family membership. The club is large enough to offer a variety of classes and services, and yet it is still small enough to feel like a small supportive community with the common goal of fitness. My kids love the tennis team and the tennis instructors at AVAC. The staff is very frie...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 7/13/2006 - very nice, but priceyI finally joined AVAC. I always knew it was going to eventually happen, and it did. I was a member at the Right Stuff for seven years and only payed $9.00 a month, but they had dirty bathrooms and broken televisions. I pay $65 a month for AVA (ouch), but the bathrooms are clean and all the equipment works. They offer spinning classes which is the primary reason why I joined. If you will use the g...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 7/13/2006 - Great workout at affordable pricesAm a member here and go month to month to train for triathlons, swim, etc. It is very inexpensive and I can upgrade to a family membership at any time for reduced rates. Either way, I receive guest passes for my wife and friends. The facility is in top shape and the staff is great...highly recommend
PROS: hours, staff, facility is clean
CONS: none
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 7/9/2006 - Something for EveryoneMy kids have taken many lessons at AVAC for both tennis and swimming. They have a very large indoor pool for swimming all year round. The kids lessons are very reasonably priced. They also have a snack bar, an outdoor pool and lots of tennis courts. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
