My grandson has had 8 lessons and as a 4 year old he is swimming at the country club pool without his floatees and jumping off both the high dive and low dive by himself and swimming to the side of the pool with no assistance. His confidence and security in the water is great !
Lessons have been well worthwhile and the instructors are awesome.
I love the set up so I can watch them while they swim. The water is heated (it isn't at the Riverplex). The app makes it very easy to reschedule when we need to. There are always plenty of staff members around to help. The amenities like hair ties and tangle spray are a nice touch.
Very easy to reschedule if something comes up and with kids this can happen often. I appreciate all the instructors and their willingness to help! Addison loves coming here.
We love Aqua-Tots! All 4 of my kiddos have made such improvement with their swimming. We love coach Bri, Coach Ben, Coach Adam, and Coach Maddie. They are so knowledgeable and attentive with my kids and give great feedback after their lessons. The Front Desk Team is so helpful and attentive as well and they are always so friendly when we arrive. Hands down the best swim lessons in Peoria!
Love the cancellation policy and ease of working with my busy schedule. All instructors are great with the kids but I almost feel they need to reinforce the specific things they’re trying to teach and push my boys harder to try things independently. I feel like my boys are just happy to be in the water and are not fully learning the skills they’re working on in level 3. I feel after 3 months they should be closer to doing things more independently and swimming/floating more in their own. My boys just tend to have fun but not actually try the moves they’re learning. Their “progress” hasn’t really changed much and I’d like to see them (or at least my older son) advance to the next step.
Our daughter was surprisingly scared of the water, and we weren’t expecting that. We immediately signed up for classes and within 3 classes, there were no more tears. She asks to go back multiple times were week. She sings Humpty Dumpty in the car. And most of all, she is learning swim safety and getting comfortable in the water.
We really love aquatots! Our son went from screaming he was "going to sink" last summer anytime we were at a pool to loving swimming in only a couple lessons!
Instructors and staff are the kindest people. Only recommendations I have are to have more family changing stalls. It would also be nice to have a safe place to put belongs for mom's who have to swim with the babies.
Rosie has come so far since she started with Aqua-Tots. She is much more confident in her swimming skills and proud of all the strokes she has perfected!
We love how small the class sizes are and how hands on each instructor is. My kids don't always do well with new people, but the experience each teacher provides is consistent and everyone is always so welcoming and patient.
I love the consistent curriculum and set expectations of what each child is meant to accomplish. The small class sizes keep the kids engaged and I finally feel like my kids are learning to swim! We've been to swim classes elsewhere, but this is the first time the kids have shown marked improvement.
Aqua tots has been so great. All of the instructors are so knowledgeable and patient with the kids. I recommend them to anyone looking for swim lessons.
There's never a class where Oliver doesn't have an amazing time and doesn't learn! There has been a single class that he couldn't get in the pool for more than a minute due to an injury, and at my request Sean pulled him out immediately. He also issued us a makeup class which wasn't even in my mind but so very appreciated! You guys have good people working for you that all take care of us when we're there. We're happy to be an aquatots family!
We have loved our experience at Aqua Tots! We began as soon as our baby turned 4 months and she has become such a water-lover! It has made my husband and I feel so much more confident around water with her. We have several family members with pools and like to vacation in Florida so we knew as soon as she was able to, we wanted to get her into lessons. Coach Rylee and Adam have been amazing to work with and having smaller class sizes really helps us as parents to feel like the feedback we get is personalized. We look forward to our years at Aqua TOTs!
