The environment is fun, safe, and so welcoming, which has made a huge difference for his confidence in the water. His instructor, Mark Anthony, is truly amazing. He is incredibly patient, caring, and supportive, while still keeping lessons fun and engaging. Mark Anthony knows exactly how to encourage my son, meet him where he is, and help him grow at his own pace. We couldn't ask for a better teacher. Highly recommend Aqua-Tots to any parent looking for quality swim instruction with instructors who truly care about the kids! ‍

An update so that other parents have an idea of what to expect. Obviously not a guarantee that you…read morehave the same experience, but if you're like me, it helps to set expectations appropriately. - Financial Outlay (as of 08.21.2023): $2,824 ($397.00 for a month for two children going twice a week). - Time Commitment (as of 08.21.2023) to go from Level 3 to Level 4: 7 months, almost to the dot. [] The Positives [] 1. The staff. The front desk staff are really friendly and helpful. The instructors are all super-affirming with their words to the kids and parents (frustratingly so at times; more on that at No. 5 below). Not all instructors are created equally though. Some are definitely better than others in terms of clarity/direction. But they're all wonderful human beings. 2. The flexibility of scheduling classes (using the app or otherwise) is pretty nifty. If there are any issues as far as cancellations or anything, they're really good about offering make-up classes. [] The Neutrals / Negatives [] 3. It's busy. All the time. This isn't Aqua-Tots' fault. This is our fault. We all had nothing better to do during COVID, so we just made a bunch of extra kids, I guess? And now we're all trying to make sure that our COVID babies won't drown in a lake/pool. Unless and until this Aqua-Tots expands, it is what it is. There's only been one time (edit: now two times) where it was so busy that the class started late by 10 minutes, and finished 3 minutes earlier than the scheduled time. I was fuming by the end of that session where my two kids ended up splitting 17 minutes of instruction with two other kids (for a grand total of 4.25 minutes per kid). 4. The inconsistency of how the shared instruction time is applied/utilized. Even if every kid is at the same level (e.g., Level 3 "Leapfrogs"), some Level 3 children can float, roll, dive to the bottom of the pool, etc., while others spend the session trying to get out of the pool. 5. The instructor feedback is almost always, "They're doing so great!" But me being the Asian parent, I was like "... If they're doing so great, what's keeping them from progressing to the next level?" And then it was always some generic feedback on improvements. My kids aren't swim-geniuses by any stretch of the imagination, but they can chicken-star-rocket with the best of them. So repeatedly telling me that they're doing great while saying they need to work on things they already know (while my credit card keeps getting hit for $397 on the 23rd of every month) was starting to wear on me. Either they're not that great, then the feedback needs to be more precise than "They're doing so great!" Or they actually are great, in which case, let's level-up, bro/sis. (edit: it would have probably ended up being 8-9 months before my kids were considered for Level 4 if it wasn't for a sudden schedule change that resulted in our kids ending up with a completely new instructor. This new instructor was like "Hey, I think your kids may be ready for the next level." Thank you, new instructor. I've been thinking the same thing since like... 2 months ago...). I never thought I'd be a bit of a Tiger Parent, but this whole swim class thing has me re-considering that... [] Rant to Fellow Parents [] There was this one female instructor that was really good with both my children. But during one of the lessons, there was another kid who was inattentive, and an all-around bad listener. That kid proceeded to goof around, and ended up underwater while the instructor was focusing on the other kids (including mine). She got to him in time, but that inattentive kid's parents lost their minds on the instructor. Then we never saw that instructor again. So that still annoys me whenever I think about it; that a really good/engaging instructor was let go (or I'm assuming she was let go) because of something that wasn't really her fault. If you as a parent can see that your kid isn't going to follow instructions or is going to be disruptive, then I feel like that's not Aqua-Tots' problem to deal with your kid. I'll gladly fight any of you who think that it's the instructor's job to manage your child's bad behavior. Parent your damn kids. And if they're not ready, get them out and try again in six months. Stop wasting everyone's time.

I'm deeply disappointed in my experience with HAI. After facing issues that ultimately led to my…read morewithdrawal, I received a letter stating that in order for the school to forgive a $5,650 balance, I must agree not to make any negative or honest public statements about my experience -- including on social media. This felt like an attempt to silence me rather than a genuine effort to resolve the situation with integrity. In addition, I was told I must complete federal Exit Counseling through studentaid.gov to fulfill a Department of Education requirement. While I understand the need for that step, the communication from the school felt more focused on their paperwork than on helping me move forward. To be clear, I am not interested in dragging this situation onto social media. I simply want to continue my education elsewhere. If I am refunded all the school funds that were paid in -- so that I can transfer and enroll in another program -- I will consider the matter resolved and will not pursue it any further publicly. Students deserve transparency, fairness, and respect. Unfortunately, that was not my experience with HAI. I hope they reflect on how they treat students who are simply trying to move forward with their education.

No hats, no athletic shorts, no graphic tees that are deemed inappropriate? We are adults, no need to put a cap on dress codes. NOW, LET ME SHARE SOMETHING ABOUT THE SCHOOLS POLICY ON ATTENDANCE! The worst I have ever seen. The school is Monday-Thursday 7AM-2:30PM. If you have responsibilities outside of class, You are bound to miss a couple days. If you miss a total of I believe 30 hours within a 6 month span, you get kicked out.... yup, all your money is gone. For missing a lousy 30 hours. What a joke. You hardly get any days off from school, you never get a week long break until Christmas rolls around. It's 18 months long consecutively. If you're 2 hours late to class you're automatically counted absent and sent home, And get this, if you're 2 hours late on the first day of starting a new course, YOU AUTOMATICALLY FAIL THAT COURSE! In all honestly I wish I never came here. Good luck with this school, it's not enjoyable at all. Everyone here I seem to talk to can't wait until 2:30 to get the hell out of this place.
