I actually have holds on their classes to move my baby into when they are ready. Coach Colton has been great for my oldest. I see him do well with kids of all ages, but he definitely excels with the age 6+ group. He is teaching my son all the correct strokes and working on refining techniques and prepping for the swim team. I appreciate how reliable he has been and provides consistency to my child. He has somehow been able to challenge my child in a way that my kid is asking to do more and striving to be better. I didn't think we would be doing swim team (just wanted kids to not drown), but after working with Colton that's the new goal! Coach Adam is another angel. He pairs very well with my middle child. Adam seems to enjoy working with a kid even when the kid is difficult. I think the kids can sense that he appreciates them and that Adam loves his job. He plays with the kids at their level ... my kid is always trying to finish his classes with my Adam tossing him in the water or being silly with him. He is very skilled at redirecting kids and working on what makes sense for the kid that day. Observing him with other students, I get the sense that he has the gift of working well with children on the spectrum too. He seems to earn the trust of the kids and still push them on their skills. Coach Olivia is another great reliable coach. She made swimming fun for my kids and taught them all the basics. The first few months of lessons for a new swimmer isn't so rewarding for the parents because the child is doing necessary basics like floating and swim-roll-swim and it doesn't look like traditional swimming. I thank her for building all those necessary skills because now I can see them paying off and it all makes sense!

Highly recommend! We just finished the intensive with Miss Sadie and she was patient and steady. My…read more3 year old was already comfortable in the water but he cried so much the first 3 days, i really second guessed myself. Sadie was patient and kept going. I just tried to trust the process. After the two week intensive he has so many swimming skills it is amazing. He can hold his breath, swim short distances and can back float. He loves Miss Sadie and wants to keep going, of course! I'm so grateful this is a great way to kick off the summer.

I am in awe in my daughters swimming ability in such a short time . My 3 year old daughter did not…read moreknow how to swim and took the 10 day intensive and by the end can swim. We loved coach Ethan. He had a gentle but firm approach which was needed in this survival course. The back to back sessions 20 minutes each were perfect for a 3 year old and really made a remarkable difference in her swimming ability and her confidence . Only issue is that the swimming is hosted at someone's personal residence so children cannot use the restrooms - but I resolved this issue by bringing a portable potty. They do not offer make up classes but it makes sense for the way they design their intensives to be back to back for best learning. My 5 year old knew how to swim (doggy paddle) but advanced her swimming with this class and became a strong swimmer !

STOP is an incredible family oriented swim club that we didn't know we needed when walking on the…read morepool deck 4 years ago. My kiddos started in developmental swimming to learn the 4 different stokes. Their coaches were talented swimmers themselves at either HS and college level. The approach was kind and encouraging. They eventually went onto age group level to further develop their technique, speed, and more importantly friendships. One of my kiddo is now part of the championship team and it's exciting to see how she's excelling. Coach Devon and Coach Anna are the the core coaches. They typically focus on the competitive team but it's so great to see them coach the developmental and age groups once in a while. It's almost like a treat. So if you are looking for super intense swim team, STOP is probably not for you. If you're looking for a super cush swim team, STOP is probably not for you. But if you looking for a team that prioritizes the swimmers growth, adaptability, building character, confidence, community, friendships then STOP is a great place.

I removed my daughter because of inconsistency on their weekly schedule. It seems like we have to…read morework with their schedule and it changes every week. You cannot also watch your child swim and know how your child is progressing. They have the benches on the side where the advance swimmers swim. The pool is not warm enough in the winter time. My daughter has been swimming for 4 years with other swim schools and never complained about the water being cold until I moved her to this location. The restrooms has no ventilation and it always smells. The showers are outside. No showers are available inside of any restrooms for the young children. My daughter is a more experienced and skilled in swimming than her friends who has never taken any lessons. Apparently, if you dont ask to advance your child to rhe next level, your child will stay where she is. I found this out from other moms. The person who is in charge has no time to watch these young swimmers because he always watches and focused on the advance swimmers. This is from my observation everytime I have taken my daughter to all her lessons. I can only give two stars because its affordable.

My 2nd child is now at Aqua-Tots and is absolutely loving it. Out of all the activities both of my…read morekids have done, Aqua-Tots has been their favorite (and mine too!). Their customer service alone is spectacular. They make us feel so welcome when we enter the door, everyone is kind, knowledgeable, and gets to know my kids by first name within the first few visits (very impressive considering 100's to 1000's of kids take lessons each week). They have all the necessities you need and more to feel ready for your child's lesson. The viewing area is my favorite because it's all glass walls, so anywhere you sit, you'll have a good view of your child all while enjoying some hang time while waiting. They sell snacks and drinks and offer coloring pages along with free lollipops to all the kiddos. My personal favorite is how special they make each individual kid feel. With the 1:4 ratio, each kid is seen and gets a personalized lesson to focus on their progress. Once they're done, the coaches take time to talk to each family and share what their child excelled in and what they can work on. If you download their app, you get a weekly report card that shows their progress. And when they've passed their swim level, they announce their name and they get to ring a bell along with a photo that gets posted on a wall for everyone to see and get recognized. One of our favorite Aqua-Tots team members is Ava. Ava was my oldest child's favorite person to see when she attended a few years back. So when we came back with our 2nd child and she immediately remembered us, we knew we were "back at home". She is always so kind to my kids, she greets them and offers hugs, kneels down to talk to them at eye level, helps us out when we're ready to get snacks from the front desk, and makes sure we're taken care of. We look forward to seeing her every week. If you're looking for a place for swim lessons, look no further. This is THE place to go! While it can feel like it's pricy, it truly is worth every penny and more for the safety of your child and the exceptional customer service Aqua-Tots offers.

A huge thank you to Coach Alex, Coach Riley, and Coach Bernice--and honestly, the list continues. Every instructor we've had has been so patient, encouraging, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in each child's success. They create such a positive, fun, and supportive environment that makes learning enjoyable while helping children feel safe and confident in the water. It's clear they truly care about every swimmer and celebrate each milestone right alongside the families. We also have to give a special shout-out to Gianna at the front desk. She is absolutely wonderful! She is always so patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. Whether she's answering questions, helping with scheduling, or greeting families with a smile, she consistently goes above and beyond. She makes every visit seamless and welcoming, and her kindness never goes unnoticed. The entire team at Aqua-Tots has exceeded our expectations. The level of professionalism, care, and genuine passion they have for what they do shines through every single visit. We are so grateful to have found such an incredible place for our daughter to learn such an important life skill. We couldn't recommend Aqua-Tots more!

There are also swimming lessons during the summer for the kids to learn how to swim. There are also water polo classes for the older kids. I love, love, LOVE being a member at Las Lomas Verdes!!

You can feel how much you care, and it's beautiful to watch the confidence you help build in them over time. One of my favorite things every time I walk through the doors is seeing the kids so excited to go up to the instructors just to talk about their day, talk about something they did, or share a story. That kind of excitement and openness says so much about the trust and connection they feel with all of you. Thank you for creating such a caring and encouraging environment for these kids.

We were so fortunate to meet Mary and have her teach our son and his cousins how to swim…read more They started weekly, private lessons with Mary early in the summer. While some had had prior swim lessons, none were great swimmers. By the end of the summer, all kids had made significant gains in their ability and had become much safer in the water. On top of that, the kids loved the lessons with Mary! When we had worked with another instructor last year, the kids would complain and dread swim Saturdays. This year, with Mary, there were no complaints (except when they had to leave the pool). Her patience with my son was particularly notable, as he is on the spectrum and has trouble sometimes following direction and not being distracted. She followed his pace and, by the end of the summer, he was really swimming and loving the water. Mary is very professional, polite and punctual. Highly recommend!!
