Absolutely the best decision my wife and I have made this summer. Joining AVAC gives our family a pool with towel service and conveniences like good food and drinks. The Gym always has available machines and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Never any space for lap swim. Always aquagym, kids, camps, family, therapy, etc. I canceled after 2 months.

The swim teachers are amazing, their upper management and policies are confusing and inconsistent

Just wanted to share some love for AVAC! They’ve done a great job with their new outdoor gym. It's situated perfectly in the shade next to the tennis courts, which makes working out outdoors enjoyable even on warmer days. It's a wonderful addition to the facilities. Another big plus for me is early Sundays. I can always count on finding an open lane in the pool for a swim after my workout. It's fantastic consistency and something I really appreciate. The only slight annoyance is that the back parking lot is often closed off due to the neighboring church services. It means finding a space can take a little longer, but it's not a huge issue. Overall, AVAC remains a fantastic club with great amenities.

5 stars to 2 stars after 10 months: Original: So far so good. Class of four children for 25$ per class of 30 minutes which seem to be in the range of you compare to water aquatic or YMCA. Nice facilities, parents are not in the class but you can pay 5$ or 7$ depending of the time to have free time in the pool (which is very limited in their schedule). Free wifi, hot water, 25$ yearly admission fee. After 10 months: My daughter received 2 ribbons in the first 3 months and for the next 7 nothing. My 3 years old might not be the best but she listens. However, the teachers (we tried 3 different) keep being stubborn about "gliding". My daughter got better but she wants to swim (move her feet). So, she is stuck at that level. Also, they need to go in deep water for the next level but the kid can practice deep water only 1/5 time, hence almost only one every two months. The program is NOT adapted for young kid and the teachers do not know how to change the routine to spark progress. The staff is way too young. The supervisor decks are total douche bag. Sun glasses, big attitude, talk loudly. When I asked a question, their answer was very respectful like if the question was dumb while t
