What Parents Say About Our Swim Lessons

The staff is always sweet and amazing at greeting my kids when we arrive. Also, the ladies at the front desk are always willing to go beyond their duties to make my kids happy!

Kathy G.

The people who work here are amazing. These young professionals are specialized and trained to work with babies and toddlers to teach vital survival skills in the water. Highly recommend.

Jenny L.

My son has learned a great deal of swimming skills and will continue here. The school is efficient and well run. Teachers develop relationships with the children and really care about their skills progression.

Jeff W.

I started my daughter here at only 4 months old, she hated water and I've never been a confident swimmer myself so I wanted us to both be more comfortable around pools. She absolutely loves the water now.

Shaylee S.

The staff are very friendly and skilled in teaching my 10 year old how to gain the fundamentals of swimming. Changing a scheduled swim day is as easy as using the app or talking to the staff.

Danielle & Tim Sporcic

Owners, General Manager (Tim)
The Sporcics have lived in Hudson County for 10+ years. When their son was three, he would jump in the pool without any concern for safety and they realized it was vital for him to learn to swim. That's when they found Aqua-Tots! They were inspired by his experience to help local kids learn to swim safely and with joy. Their two kids are now in Level 4 of their journey towards becoming safe, confident swimmers for life.
