We’ve had such a wonderful experience with all the coaches at this location, each one brings something special and truly cares about the little ones and our baby loves coming to class. But we especially want to highlight Coach Cassius, who has made a lasting impression on both us and our baby. Our son lights up whenever he sees Coach Cassius. He has such a calm, gentle energy and is incredibly good with babies. He is patient, warm, and always engaging in a way that makes them feel safe and happy. What means so much to us is that even on days when Coach Cassius isn’t leading our baby’s lesson, he still goes out of his way to say hello, greet him by name, and share a smile. That small gesture goes a long way in making us feel welcomed and seen. It’s clear that Coach Cassius takes the time to build genuine connections, and that has made a big difference in how comfortable and excited our baby is to be there. We’re very grateful for the kindness and care the entire team brings, it truly sets the tone for a positive and nurturing environment.

We’ve had such a great experience at Aqua-Tots! When my daughter first started (she is almost 2), she was scared and cried through most of the early classes. But the coaches were so patient, caring, and attentive from day one. The facility is always clean, well-organized, and I feel completely safe having her there. What really made the difference for us was Coach Daniela (or “Coach Dani,” as my daughter calls her). She connected with my daughter in such a special way, made her feel comfortable, confident, and excited to get in the water. Since then, my daughter has been learning so much, reaching real milestones in water safety, and now she asks all week when she gets to go back. Another thing I really appreciate: even when we’re outside the pool area, we can see how engaged all the coaches are with their students. I’ve tried other well-known swim schools, but this is the first time I’ve truly seen my daughter learning, not just playing in the water. We absolutely love Aqua-Tots and are so thankful for the whole team!

My daughter has had a wonderful experience with her swimming instructor. The instructor Sofia is kind, patient, and has an amazing way of connecting with kids. Thanks to her dedication, my daughter has gained a lot of confidence in the water and has learned so much in a short time. Truly an excellent instructor! 100% recommend. Also the place is always clean and they’re very professional on everything. The owners are also amazing very professional, friendly, and always make us feel welcome. You can tell they truly care about the families and provide a safe, positive environment for the children. We’re so happy to be part of this swim school!

We’ve been going since they opened and I think the entire staff is phenomenal. Truly, from the moment you walk in you’re greeted - throughout the lesson the customer service team is checking in to see if you need anything and at the end of each class the coaches provide detailed feedback from each lesson. I keep recommending the school to all of my friends and family with kids because it’s worth their time and money. This really is the best swim school in Hudson County. There are no surprise or hidden fees and if you ever have questions they’re there to offer clarity. I also want to shout out the coaches (specifically Daniela and Sam), they’re the absolute best. My son started lessons very hesitantly and begrudgingly but they’ve ignited a spark in him of self confidence and he now loves swimming and looks forward to every lesson. He sets goals with them and for himself and now wants to join a swim team once he becomes of age. You can’t really put a price tag on a team or coaches that pour into your children and build them up. Sam & Daniela are 1:1 and I will forever be singing their praises because they really have given my shy little boy the chance to see in real time that if he keeps practicing and pushing himself, he can do anything he sets his mind to. I’m excited to spend the next year with the whole Aqua Tots team until my son officially ages out but if you’re considering this school - look no further; you and your kid(s) are in great hands!

Thank you for bringing a swimming school to North Bergen! This school was needed to this location and county. I really love the staff, instructors, and the owner is so attentive. Daniela is a wonderful instructor, she’s patient and kind. My son loves her and has progressed so much with her. I recommend aqua tots to any parent that wishes for their child to learn how to swim. I also love how easy the APP is to use. Thank you so much !! 😊
