The BEST place to take your kiddos! We had taken our baby to another facility for a few months last year, but it just didnt feel worth it after a while. When AquaTots opened at the end of last year, we decided to attend a free lesson and immediately felt the difference!The pool is always heated to 90 degrees, and classes are limited to 4 students per instructor. Our baby is currently 17 months old, so the class he attends has the parent join in the water as well! The instructors are incredibly engaging and enthusiastic, theyre all CPR certified, and they are clearly very knowledgable about everything water-safety related.Everything we do is thoroughly explained ahead of time--what to do with the baby and why we do it certain ways. At this age, the priority is setting boundaries with the pool, and getting comfortable underwater, finding the wall, floating, and climbing out of the pool. In just 2 months, our baby is now comfortable going underwater without crying or coughing, and climbs out of the pool completely on his own.Water safety is SUCH a concern for us here, as were always around water, and I am SO grateful that weve been able to have these great lessons to help ease our minds about our babys safety. There is no place Id recommend more!

We’ve visited now three times and with each visit, I am more impressed.They take their role as instructors and custodians of your children seriously, albeit only for 30 mins at a time.Their premises is clean every day and shows care and diligence in its organization.The staff and each instructor we’ve met are all professional, understanding, and courteous.The price seems more than fair for the class and less than what we’ve experienced elsewhere.Overall, our family are enthusiastic supporters of this new local business. A+ well done!

Cannot even begin to brag on Aqua-tots in the manner of which they deserve!! Beyond thankful for this place since day 1. My daughter loves it! I love it! The environment is extremely uplifting. All fully aware and know your child by name as you walk in the door... could not ask for more.. Family owned, kind, very professional staff. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Aqua Tots is amazing. My son is 5 and we recently moved to the area. Growing up in Florida myself, I know how imperative water safety is for kids. I was concerned because my son is older, but the staff here is very versatile and extremely well trained. They are patient and kind. I see my son’s confidence growing with each lesson. He enjoys coming. The owners are both wonderful, are on property and are involved withy the day to day operations. As a small business owner myself, this is important to me.

Water safety is such a big deal here in Florida. We have tried a couple other places to get our kids comfortable in the water with not much success. Aqua tots has hit a home run on every aspect. Everybody is very nice and great at dealing with kids that are water shy. Also, every part of their facilty is immaculate. Owning a cleaning business, I know that even though a place may be new, it still needs to be maintained. The crew here definitely makes sure its in tip top shape.

Excelling facility for swim lessons. Staff very friendly and good with kids. Floors, pool, changing rooms, etc are always impeccable. Cancelling last minute is never a problem and they give you a make up lesson to be used. Price is very affordable as well. I’d highly recommend putting your baby/toddler/child Into aquatots. While my 20mo old screamed for the first few lessons, she got used to it and couldn’t wait to go back in the pool every week!

The instructors are great and the process is very streamlined! Needs better recourse with disruptive children during group lessons.

I Love Aqua tots!! The owners and the employees are the nicest, most caring family! They take the time to know every childs name and speak to them individually to learn about who they are. They always make a point to come say hello to the parents n chat about their childs progress. The place is always sparkling clean! The instructors are awesome with the kids. My son was scared of the water and by the end of day 1 he was dunking. I was amazed! He has been going two days a week for two months now and looks forward to going everytime! I would highly recommend bringing your child here!!

My daughter has not been a fan of water,but has been begging to learn to swim. It has taken me quite some time to find the perfect fit for us. Aqua-Tots is everything and more! Not only is my daughter comfortable around water she is actually making progress! Every week she has a new favorite coach lol. That says alot. Everyone is so warm and great with all of the kids. I am so happy we have found aqua Tots!

We have had such a positive experience at AquaTots Sarasota from the day they opened their doors. The whole staff is very welcoming and kind. We love the small group sizes and the amount of growth our daughter has had is impressive. She went from using her floatie in the pool with us to jumping in and swimming underwater for 15+ feet in just a few weeks. We continue to practice back float and continued breath control. Very happy here.

My 8 month son just had his first swim lesson here and we instantly loved it! Although this is a chain, it’s a locally owned swim school that is run by the kindest family! The school is clean, aesthetically kid-appealing, and safe. I’ll be recommending AquaTots to all my moms friends for their littles!

My 3 year old daughter Anna was terrified of letting go of in the pool or putting her head under water. 4 classes later, 2 private and 2 group she jumps in on her own and swims about 2 feet to us unhelped. She loves going. The instructors are all very professional, dressed appropriately, and communicate her progress very well. There are showers, changing rooms, bathing suit dryers, and glass all around the pool for parents to watch and cheer on. This being my 3rd child I highly recommend as best swim classes in town!

My son Emmitt who is 3 comes to Aqua-Tots once a week. He cant wait to get in the pool, and the progress that he has made just in the couple months he has been there is incredible!!!!!!!! Thank you to his coaches for helping Emmitt learn to float , hold his breath , he is on his way to becoming a minnow. Thank you also to the staff for knowing our names and treating us so kindly!!!

We have had a great experience here! Coach Mackenzie and Coach Prestynn have both done a great job in helping our daughter to not only learn the necessary skills but to have fun while doing it. She looks forward to coming to every lesson. All of the staff is so welcoming and the facility is sparkling clean. We definitely recommend AquaTots Sarasota!
