Powered by GoogleI highly do not recommend American Kids Sports Center's swim program. During my daughter's swim lesson, a child vomited directly into the pool. Rather than immediately clearing the pool and removing all swimmers, staff allowed children to continue swimming in the contaminated water while employees slowly collected visible chunks of vomit from the pool. My daughter was actively swimming only feet away from where the cleanup was taking place. When I raised concerns, the deck supervisor stated that allowing children to continue swimming was permitted and not against California regulations. However, California Code of Regulations Section 65546 requires pool operators to immediately close an affected pool and follow proper contamination response procedures when there is fecal matter, urine, vomit, blood, or other bodily fluid contamination that may pose a health risk to swimmers. The health and safety of children should always come first. Allowing children to remain in a pool during the cleanup of vomit contamination demonstrates poor judgment and a troubling disregard for swimmer safety. Parents trust facilities like this to follow proper sanitation protocols, especially when young children are involved. Due to this experience and the facility's response to my concerns, I cannot recommend this swim program to other families. We have dropped both of our daughters enrollments with this company.
All the employees are so nice! My son participates in the swim school. The instructors Heather and Riley are so great and patient with him! Tyler and Jocelyn are so helpful in the program as well with us!
Love love love American dancers workshop with my entire heart. As well as I get such great dance training for my dance career but it feels like a family every time I go to class. I always feel welcome and loved with everything I do. I am on the competition team and I’ve never loved anything more. So much fun!! 100% recommend American dancers workshop!! It doesn’t just build great skills but it builds life long friendships with teachers and students that you can cherish for forever!
Oh my goodness my granddaughters love it at AK! These lil darlings have made friends and they have play dates. They look forward to seeing their friends during swim, gymnastics etc. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The place is very clean.
We have been a part of the American Cheer family for over 20 years! The community of the American Cheer family is over the top amazing. Jason and Ashley’s passion for cheer is exemplified throughout the entirety of the program! From the BEST coaches that motivate and push our athletes to be the best versions of themselves, to the unwavering supportive admin (Sheila), that work behind the scenes to help keep parent involvement a top priority so the athletes can have fun throughout the season! I would HIGHLY recommend American Cheer for all littles, or young adults! It was THE best choice I have made for my daughter!
