Seems like the instructors are more focused in getting the lessons over with as quickly as possible & waste so much time fixing/messing with kids' goggles! If the kids get 15 mins of instruction, that's a lot. Scheduling is difficult bc there aren't a lot of options. AND they false advertised about their promotions. I was told I'd get a 50.00 credit for referrals & a sibling discount, which I got neither!! I have been asking for a refund for these credits since we started & my credit card had been charged. They kept telling me someone would reach out to through email & that has been a lie! So disappointed in this business. Look for other swim schools! I also read that their instructors are not certified.

She's far tougher on them than I could ever be, but despite the disciplined approach, the lil buggers can't wait to come back.. Go figure.. Somehow, she's able to formulate a lesson plan for each swimmer and bring them along in a way that overcomes fears and I'm sure, will kindle a love for swimming that will last a lifetime. As I travel at times, I am very doubtful of the guards that most hotel pools provide - if any. But when the kids are finished with their lessons, I look forward to bringing the wife & kids along to lounge at the pool while I "get" to work.. and we will rest assured that basic water safety skills have been properly drilled into the kids! Since I cannot do it myself anymore, I am very happy that I found Jeni at AweSwimSA.com and I would highly recommend her! - Mark Andrews father of 3.

I feel every time I enter the building that my patronage is valued and appreciated. The design of the program is very well developed. Change in instructors is almost seamless. I recommend Aqua Tots so highly that I have worked on working with promotions for the school that my children go to have promotions for fellow families at the school and establishing a symbiotic partnership. Miranda and Selena; management at our location have surprised me. We used a different swim instruction company in the past and I never knew one of the managers names. I felt pushed to purchase or upgrade constantly. At Aqua Tots I'm always reminded of specials but never feel pressured to purchase or judged that I don't upgrade. It's just such a different environment that makes me comfortable and at ease.

TLDR: You're not going to find a better swim school than Blacktip in San Antonio…read more Blacktip stands out in the community, not just as a swim school, but as a beacon of quality and personalized care. We enrolled our 12-year-old son, who was okay at swimming, but showed some nervousness and trepidation in the water. With summer just around the corner and plenty of water-based fun in the forecast, we wanted him to glide through the water effortlessly and confidently, just like a blacktip shark. After exploring various options, Blacktip was the clear choice, especially suited for his age group. Encouraged by glowing reviews, we booked a trial lesson, and we were paired up with with Nolan, who has the keen insight and nurturing approach of a skilled swim coach. In just 30 minutes, Nolan assessed, coached, and elevated my son's swimming skills, making the lesson fun and engaging. He adapted the challenges to perfectly suit my son's abilities, transforming his tentative strokes into confident swimming. I was positively surprised to see that transformation in such a short period of time. After the lesson, we met Albert, the engaging and involved big kahuna, owner, leader, and instructor from Blacktip. He discussed our goals, shared insights from Nolan's assessment, and made signing up for additional lessons as smooth as swimming with the current. He even discussed what our goals were with the program, which impressed me a lot. This personalized attention is a rare find, in any business, and reflects Blacktip's dedication to each swimmer's success. To be clear: you just won't get that from any other school. I spoke with 5 swim schools, all nice enough on the phone -- but none that were interested in diverging from cookie-cutter approaches, except Blacktip. My son left the school buzzing with excitement about his progress and eager for his next lesson, a testament to the positive and supportive environment Blacktip provides. It was clear that children of all ages were thriving here, each benefiting from tailored instruction that meets them right at their level of proficiency. The facility itself is clean, well-organized, purpose-built, and perfectly designed for swim instruction, making it an ideal environment for learning and growth. Whether you're introducing your child to swimming or looking to enhance their aquatic skills, Blacktip Swim School is a fantastic choice, helping swimmers become as confident and graceful in the water as the blacktip shark.
