Our daughter was really nervous in the beginning and cried a lot, but the staff did a great job of managing her crying and after a couple lessons she really started to thrive. The positive reward of a lollipop and the use of positive encouragement really helped. Her confidence grew so quickly and she really learned the swimming skills they taught and was eager to practice them outside of class. Within a few months, she went from not knowing how to swim at all to being able to swim on her own. She looks forward to swim class every week. Also I appreciate that Aqua Tots takes hygiene seriously and closes the pool if it is contaminated.
The staff is and always has been attentive, kind and professional. Each coach is genuinely invested in helping the kids feel comfortable and reach their goals. We especially love Coach Mason!!!
My son is in Scouting America and has to take a swim test. For this he has to jump in to water above his head, level off and swim 75 yards with a strong forward stroke, then 25 yards with a resting backstroke. A year ago, he could barely do the doggy paddle to swim. Now he does this test without any struggle. He also has found that he loves swimming. His goal is to reach level 8.
Great service and outstanding instructors that have taught my child so much in less than a year. He is now very comfortable being in the pool swimming on his own.
The staff has been wonderful and I really appreciate the positive feedback given to my daughter that really makes her want to come back again and again despite being initially very scared of putting her head underwater. I also appreciate how seriously the facility takes hygiene.
