What are people saying (AI review summary)? Aqua Tots generally garners very positive reviews, with many parents praising the staff for their professionalism, care, and effectiveness in teaching children essential swim skills and building confidence, even in those initially hesitant. Instructors like Allison and Sophie were specifically highlighted for creating a comfortable environment and facilitating significant progress, often transforming initial apprehension into enjoyment for swimming. While most parents noted their children's enjoyment and skill development, some criticisms included the perceived limited 'off-the-wall' swim practice time within a 30-minute class (estimated 3-5 minutes), concerns about the cost relative to community center memberships, and the lack of a shallow end for very young learners. Despite these points, the overarching feedback highlights successful skill acquisition and positive experiences for the children.

Let me just say I cant say enough great things about this place, my son is 3 yrs old and the first month was rough getting him to come to swim lessons..he would cry before and during swim lessons but the staff here has been nothing but amazing! We had Allison as an instructor who has left aqua tots and she was great and then theres Sophie who is an amazing instructor as well! she made my kid feel more comfortable in the water & the progress he has made is amazing! he LOVES coming here now thanks to the staff & coach Sophie!!

I have two daughters. One of whom took lessons at another swim place and is no longer interested in even trying to swim. The other is actively taking lessons at Aqua Tots for more than half of her two-year-old life. She loves it and I do, too. I truly feel she's making great progress. Though Aqua Tots is in a strip mall and is pretty small compared to other swim places, it's a vastly better experience. I paritcularly want to shout out Allison K for her work, always being constructive and playful with her feedback setting up my daughter for success. Can't recommend classes taught by her (and all lessons taught at Aqua Tots) enough.

Nothing bad to say. My Kids are learning a very needed skill from good people who seem to care about what they are doing. Will keep attending until kids no longer need lessons

Professional (edit: not as professional and does not understand internet anonymity), not much swim time. For the 30minute class my child is only off the wall practicing skills for between 3 and 5 minutes. When I was a summer camp swim instructor we always had an additional lifeguard/instructor guiding the group in something to do instead of only taking turns with 1 on 1 instruction. The cost of one class per week is the same as a whole family membership (less if you’re local) to the Westerville community center pools. They run things very well, are kind and the kids fell safe. I just believe they should have made their pool with a shallow end to accommodate their young clientele and that your money and time would be better spent on a pool membership to learn to swim together instead of watching though the glass.

We've been with Aqua Tots for several years between my two sons. My older son has graduated from the program, and my younger son recently advanced to level 7/8. Both kids have learned to be confident swimmers through the Aqua Tots program, and I appreciate the confidence I have in their ability to be safe in a pool. We've had numerous Aqua Tots coaches over the years, but my kids have had a great experience across the board with coaches who have earned their trust and helped them to improve. I love knowing that I have strong swimmers!
