I am amazed at how well my 4 year old son has improved learning to swim and how comfortable he is in the water now. All the instructors have been so patient with my wild child! Coach Sullivan, Coach Adam, and all the other coaches he has had are so caring, encouraging, and simply amazing! I love that the max is 4 kids, I get updates both in person and in the app, and that I am able to watch the lessons. I highly recommend Aqua Tots!

We have had a great experience! I feel like my child is in a safe environment to learn water safety. The instructors have all been wonderful and my child enjoys her time there. I feel like she is progressing and is properly learning how to swim!

Great place to take your children for swimming lessons however I will say I wished the lessons were longer than 30 mins in my opinion at least make it to 45 mins each lesson. My daughter had Katie most days for her swimming instructor and she was amazing. She was very informative and kind when explaining to me what my daughter can do to improve her swimming. We also had another swimming instructor named Cam, he was okay. I wouldn’t say he was as friendly as the other instructors however I feel he could maybe loosen up a little bit. He also mentioned to me how my daughter wasn’t allowed to wear goggles with the nose covering. My daughter has been wearing the same goggles since she started her swimming lessons and no one mentioned it was an issue until now. Not a big deal but I still was wondering why he was the only one to say something to us about it.

My daughter attending classes for the past couple of months now. The facility is always neat and clean, and the staff and instructors are all very kind and professional. Our favorite instructors are Adam, Naomi, and Caitlin.

Best place around for swim lessons! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and the setup lets you feel at ease knowing your child is learning in a safe environment. Multiple lifeguards per pool section and free coffee for the parents, what's not to love? If you or someone you know needs swim lessons, I highly recommend this place.
