The instructors are very professional with the students, the classes are low in numbers, the faculty are welcoming.

My son has progressed so beautifully with the variety of coaches at Aqua-Tots and I love that they all challenge him in equal measure. He has his limitations being young and small in level 4, but he never leaves class feeling bored or like he didn't get to do all the things he knows he can do. Sometimes he has trouble following the rules and staying on the bench, but I feel like the coaches all guide him back and correct him by giving him the expectations of responsibility instead of coddling him. They don't baby him which I appreciate.

I am blown away with how much Lainey has learned in a short amount of time. Adam has been so good with her and helping her feel comfortable.

Kristen is extremely sweet and helpful. My little one is slowly becoming more comfortable in the water.

How organized and patient the instructors are

My kids THRIVE at Aqua-Tots. We tried a couple different swim classes in our area the past couple of years, but nothing compares to the growth that I have seen in my children's confidence and skill through just two months of lessons at Aqua-Tots. The instructors are wonderful: friendly but firm, and make swim class fun. My youngest who is roughly 2.5 years old cried so hard during her first two lessons, and the swim instructors took great care in consoling her, getting her used to the water, and even offered us a free lesson to get her more used to the water. Now, she LOVES swim class, and even lets me shampoo and rinse her hair without a fight in the bath! Overall, we love Aqua-Tots, and it has done wonderful things for our family.

The experience is a 10/10. Very nice, clean facility run by professional and very kind staff. Every lesson is a joy to attend and I love that for me and my daughters. That’s the ideal learning environment for such an important life skill. We love it there!

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!

We have had great interaction between instructor and our little swimmer. The environment is very welcoming. I am pleased how she is learning new things at her age! Thank you all at Aqua Tots.

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.

Well organized, clean facilities, friendly staff and most of all successful swim lessons!

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!

Wonderful staff and coaches! They take time to learn the families and ways to help each student exceed.

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.

We absolutely love coming to Aqua Tots. Everyone is so nice and friendly. Our instructor is great! Our daughter loves coming to swim lessons

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!

We love Aqua-Tots! Our baby is learning so much and the staff is beyond friendly and welcoming when coming in every week. We love Naomi!!!
