Aksc never disappoints and offers such great classes. I've never been disappointed and the staff is all so nice. Thank you for always doing your best and making sure my son has a great time while learning new skills.

I have found all of the staff to be very friendly and helpful. My daughter looks forward to her swim lessons each week and absolutely loves AKU(preschool). They have a great preschool program with awesome teachers, Ms. Brooke, Mr. Bobby, and Ms. Holly are all great. My daughter loves attending preschool where she gets to participate in activities like tae Kwon do, gymnastics, dance, and even learn to play the violin! Of course they have all the other usually preschool curriculum but it's great to know they are getting those extra physical activities. The director of AKU, Ms. Melanie, has done a great job with this preschool program.

The staff is so friendly and helpful. Both of my kids attend lots of classes there (swim, gym, and preschool). I have great experiences with all the staff. My son loves coach KC & Andrew for gym and coach Dylan & Danielle for swim. It's amazing how my 3 year old is already swimming freestyle and my 1 year old is already learning his water safety skills. My kids have been there for years and the new addition of the preschool is amazing. My oldest loves getting his education and getting to do gymnastics, dance, and violin all in one place. He has started coming home and talking in Spanish. He loves his teacher Mr. Bobby.

if you like bad customer service and not having emails or phone calls returned. if you enjoy the warmth of a snooty salon receptionist and swim instructors that never smile at your child or make any connection with your child. Then this is the place for you. I can't say enough bad things about this place. stick with a small local people and stay away from this anonymous cold corporate money pit.
