We have been taking our kids to waterworks in Yorba Linda for past 2 almost 3 years. Our oldest…read moredaughter has built so much confidence in the water and genuinely has a love for swimming because of their program. We tried group lessons in other programs but never found the magic until we came to waterworks. Can confidently say, their structured program and attentive instructors make the difference. Having a structured program really made difference. I want to especially shout out Miss Lizzie. She hands down the best swim teacher we have ever had. She is kind but also very encouraging and really got to know our daughters and that connection made all the difference with their confidence in the water and a love for swimming. My second daughter was deathly afraid of the water but now can't wait for swim class because Miss Lizzie is that wonderful of a teacher. I cannot thank her enough for all she has done for our girls. If you are looking for the best swim program in OC and best instructor, Miss Lizzie, look no further. Highly recommend this school. Bonus points for this pool being indoors which allows for lessons year round!!

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!

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!

My older girl went from being able to sort of swim to being on a competitive swim team after less than two years working with her instructor. She has been told by coach after coach how perfect her strokes are and how good she looks moving through the water. My three youngest have gone from not being able to swim at all to working on perfecting strokes and flip kicks to turn around. My youngest was 2 when she started there and I've never had to be afraid of her near water because of the skills and lessons she's learned. Every week I watch instructors work with kids and adults of all ages. And so many of the students have special needs and the instructors are so patient, gentle, and kind with them. It's incredible to watch. This family owned business is just an amazing, amazing place to learn to swim and I will recommend it to anyone who will listen.

Communication is poor, emails often go unanswered, and getting assistance with even simple issues like directions has been frustrating. Without consulting us, they changed our lesson location to a private backyard pool, giving families no opportunity to approve or opt for another location. On top of that, my credit card on file has been charged without my authorization, which is completely unacceptable. While the instructors deserve recognition for their work, the administrative experience has been so disappointing that I cannot recommend this program.

I want to start this review by saying the instructor we worked with was phenomenal. However, the…read moreissue is the management. I did little to no research in this company and found out it's a corporate swim school, which we were trying to get away from because of exactly what we dealt with. My father ended up in the hospital in the ICU and we were unable to make our first class. We called and were immediately told we would not receive any credit or refund for this. While I understood not receiving a refund I was confused why there wasn't a credit offered. My father in the ICU was not planned and I communicated it to them about 8 hours before the lesson. Instead, there was no compassion or sympathy and they took the lesson. We had another day of lessons scheduled so we attended. Again, instructor was very kind, but could not have been older than 18 or 19. All they did was play the entire lesson.

It's clear Nicole genuinely cares about the kids she teaches, and that energy carries into every lesson.

Again, I will reiterate, wishing you well. I hope you can…read moreget some support for the angst and clarity you seek. I'm so sorry for your personal loss of your miscarriage. I did state that before. I do ask again to keep refraining from texting me, posting about me, and having such anger towards me. It feels displaced and truly unprofessional. I'm just uncomfortable with this rhetoric and engagement. Again, loud and clear, I wish you well. FYI- my pool isn't heated, however it is indoors in a heated room. *** it's pretty upsetting this morning to entertain texts and phone calls from friends who are screening me comments the owner is making about me on her Instagram page. I never even talked to her on Instagram or other social media outlets that's concerning given a professional, I'm entitled to my opinion I don't feel like I said anything that was a discrepancy towards her. Personally, she cared to share her personal endeavors with me, which I don't feel are reflective of what her personal position should hold, that's neither here nor there. I come from a place of wishing you goodwill in your journey of whatever it is that brings you peace and happiness, and I asked that you refrain from threatening me via my personal text which my husband and I both read, as well as on any social media outlet I don't feel that's constructive. It's both discrediting and defamatory against somebody's character. I didn't say anything about you personally again wishing you well, so please refrain from further harassment towards me personally thank you Pretty disappointed with the various layers of content from owner. The initial phone call I placed was to a recorded, outdated message that was very dry and monotone. A little more enthusiasm, especially considering the audience you want to attract would be helpful. Nevertheless I wanted to give it a try and left a message. I would naturally assume a live person, especially an owner attempting to secure a potential new client would personally reach out. Instead I was texted. Very dry, lacking any enthusiasm or introduction to whom I was speaking with. As a parent and an educator I was left feeling very unimpressed and as if my business wasn't a concern for them in securing. It's too bad because in the past, I often gather several friends and children to take part and lessons when I find someone that I'm super happy with and comfortable with. the only reason I am no longer using the private instructors that I have had is because they have moved away. Furthermore, it was indicated that no lessons or instruction would take place and less the degree of temperature was 80° and above I've never heard of this when I've also used professional schools and CPR trained swim instructors that were on swim teams earning medals at the number one high school in California. It's just a little disheartening that I was just treated with such ill regard as to my needs as a client or any considerations on my end. So it was just left as if there was no concern to secure my business again no professional phone call was made or introduction from them. I have no idea who I was speaking with and it's unfortunate because they lost a great deal of business that I would've been happy to support.

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 !
