And maybe coming in with some knowledge of (and resignation to) swim class played a part in her success. Maybe it was also the right-sized ear plugs, swim cap, and goggles that muted the rude sensation of water in her ears and eyes. But Aqua Tots' instructors, the program, and the policies they have in place undoubtedly contributed to an effective learning environment for my 3yo. She came to them as a student who refused to scoot slowly into shallow water, but by Week 8, she was cannon-balling into 5ft pools. This is easily the best $560 we've spent on pre-payment for one 30-min lesson each week, over 6 months. And now, she can enjoy the pool with the rest of our family this summer! Aqua Tots has an app that helps with (re)scheduling classes, keeping track of your swimmer's progress, and tells you what they need work on. Negatives: - No private showers - No practice pool - There's a glare from the window that makes it difficult to see your child during daytime classes - BYO Towel That being said, I still recommend Aqua-Tots for kids of all ages and abilities, all year long.

Picking a swim school for my anxious…read moreboys was a little nerve-racking for me but as soon as I came in to check it out, the girl behind the desk, Asha, was so warm, friendly and informative that I signed up right away. I'm very glad I did! My boys are no longer anxious but they look forward to coming and have progressed a lot. They've LOVED every single teacher/coach (Josh, Xavier, Selma and now Daniel!) that they've had! Their time here has been valuable and irreplaceable! The place is always neat and clean and it's so cool that the staff remembers your name from day 1. :-) Love love love Aquatots!!!

This place isn't a complete scam but it's surely guilty of unethical business practices. Their…read morebusiness model seems to be to bring your kids along as slowly as possible in order to maximize the money you put in. The fact they have a buy 10 months, get 2 free option is insane. In no world does it take 50-100 lessons (assuming 1-2 times per week) to learn to swim. They had my daughter stuck on level 3 of 8 for 13 or 14 lessons, which is a level that is more about becoming comfortable in/under the water and exposes them to hardly any actual swimming technique. It's a necessary step no doubt, but to string us along for 7 weeks in pool purgatory reeks of a cash grab. They will claim your child isn't hitting certain ambiguous benchmarks that are required in their system to advance, but these barometers are often ticky tack, non essential and/or are hard to quantify day to day. Many times they are things that get better with experience and exposure that is very limited or impossible in a 30 min class setting. If these criterion are to be taken seriously, the onus falls on the coach to get the kids to the next level with a reasonable sense of urgency which doesn't exist here. At the end of the day, if you're training, teaching or coaching someone and you claim they aren't meeting the mark that either you've created or exists naturally, then the failure of that student is on you. This basic level of accountability is not apparent at Aqua Tots. It's easier and more lucrative to tell what they need to work on or what they're doing wrong and charge you for another set of sessions than to get to the root cause to fix the supposed issue or to hide behind some obscure "standard" so you can keep students from progressing when they're clearly ready. After my twin 4 year olds and 7 year old completed the initial 8 lessons we bought, they obviously needed more. However, we could only afford to get my 7 y/o another 8 lessons. So due to convenience, familiarity, and an apparent misplaced hope that the school would do better, we continued. Much to our dismay, the aforementioned drawbacks continued as well. Bottom line, this swim school operates as a subscription based business. Swim lessons aren't cheap anywhere, so I recommend all who read this to spend that money with another swim school whose priority is endowing your child with the lasting life skill of swim, instead of how many lessons they can squeeze out of you.

We love FlipKick! My kids have all learned to swim with Kona and her staff. After a "playtime in…read morethe water" "swim class" at the NRH Centre a few years ago, I found FlipKick. Ms Kona had my kids floating on their backs in the first couple of lessons. The main purpose of the class is survival, so the babies/kids are shown how they should move in the water, flip to their back, then float. And then it's repeated over and over for them to develop the correct muscle memory of those movements. The cost seems expensive, especially compared to other "normal" swim classes in the area. But these are one-on-one lessons that get a LOT done in 15mins, 4-days a weeks. I'm always referring friends, neighbors, and even strangers to FlipKick. Kona is great! Her staff is great!

They have now changed their cancellation policy which makes you give 30 days notice so you have to pay for an extra month even though you have no desire to go again. They also changed their make up class policy which makes it way more difficult to do make up classes. Obviously these changes are to hold on a little bit longer before the doors close.
