Alexia R is the best instructor. My son enjoys learning from her now, but has also enjoyed her teachings since he was a baby. She has guided my son throughout levels 1 through 4 and my son is now an avid swimmer. We look forward to continuing his lessons with her.

All the coaches are great with the kids. Ana Sofia has really helped out our little one get comfortable in the water. She likes her so much and the class she pretends to teach swim at home. The other great thing is scheduling the classes. 2 kids at different levels but always able to work it for them to be at class around the same time. I like that we can stay and watch knowing the kids are safe. We like the reports given at the end of the session, always positive feedback and what they are working on. Front desk are very friendly and helpful.

We've really enjoyed taking our kid to Aqua-Tots for swim lessons. The instructors are super friendly and great with kids. They make the lessons fun but also focus on safety and good swimming skills.
The pool is warm, the place is clean, and the small class sizes mean the kids get plenty of attention. Our child has become much more confident in the water and always looks forward to going.

We are incredibly grateful to Aqua-Tots for providing Max with a strong foundation in swimming! From the very beginning, the instructors have been patient, encouraging, and dedicated, helping him build confidence and essential skills in the water. Thanks to their expert guidance and structured lessons, Max has progressed tremendously and is now part of a swim club! We truly appreciate the positive and supportive environment that Aqua-Tots fosters—it has made all the difference in his journey. Thank you for setting him up for success!

My husband and I were hesitant to sign our kids up for swim lessons at AquaTots due to the price but we both agree that classes are worth the price. I have 3 kids in swim lessons. They all love going to swim class and feel safe and confident in the water. I also feel safe and confident with them in the water! The instructors and staff are great. I love the ease that the staff has at coordinating my kids in different level of classes and when one graduates to a higher level.

We started swim lessons at Aqua Tots Otay Ranch for our son at 5 months old and he is now almost 10 months old. I cannot even put into words how much our son enjoys swim class. We chose to do two classes a week. We usually have the same instructor each class but have had substitutes and they’ve all been great! The instructors are so kind, gentle and understand how difficult it may be for parents to get their kids used to the water and respect their boundaries. We are current in level one and they teach the babies about water safety, being comfortable in louder environments, being around other children and much more. Attending these classes regularly has not only made our son love swim class and the water but enjoy being in such a loud environment. From the instructors, to the front desk staff, to the manager, everyone is so kind and welcoming here! The manager is such a sweet woman. She always takes time to say hi/bye each swim class and talk to our baby and ask him how class went. I would’ve never been comfortable taking my son in the water this thing but Aqua-Tots makes both myself and my husband feel comfortable and confident taking our son in the water now. We cannot wait to see our little guy move up levels at Aqua-Tots!

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Aqua-Tots! From day one, the entire staff has been warm, welcoming, and incredibly supportive. Our son was initially very hesitant about putting his face in the water, but thanks to the patience and encouragement of Coach Jonathan, he’s made amazing progress. Coach Jonathan has a special way of connecting with the kids—his positive energy and calm, reassuring approach really helped our son build confidence and feel safe. It’s been such a joy to see him go from nervous to excited every time we go to class!

We also want to give a big shoutout to Alexia at the front—she’s always so friendly, helpful, and organized. The whole team at Aqua-Tots truly goes above and beyond to create a fun and safe environment for families. We’re so grateful for their dedication and would highly recommend Aqua-Tots to any parents looking for a quality swim program.

My son has been doing swimming lessons since he was 8 months. He enjoys it very much. The staff at Aqua Tots are always nice and willing to work with you. I cant say enough about this place. So what are you waiting for bring your child! Lots of hours available and the ratio is also perfect ( students to teacher). Hope this review helps a parent.
