As an avid swimmer and mom to 2 young girls, Rebecca Swedlove and husband, Josh, saw a need for a different kind of swim lessons experience. It was Aqua-Tots’ proven curriculum, clean changing rooms, warm water and custom learning facility that led the Swedloves to open their first school in 2021. They are thrilled to share their passion for swimming and the “Lessons for Life” philosophy with the Kanata community!
