Aqua-Tots Swim School Peoria | Peoria County, IL
About this class
Aqua-Tots is one of those swim schools that actually gets it - they know you're not just looking for someone to splash around with your kiddo, but someone who can teach real water safety skills without making it feel like boot camp. The 4:1 ratio means your little one isn't getting lost in a crowd of kids, and honestly, their instructors seem to know what they're doing with over 40 hours of training (which is way more than most places). They're super flexible about makeup lessons too, because let's be real - toddlers get sick at the worst possible times and family vacations don't always align with swim schedules. The whole setup feels professional but not intimidating, with viewing areas where you can actually see what's happening instead of being stuck in some cramped hallway. Because juggling a million things while trying to keep your kid safe around water is hard enough without adding scheduling nightmares to the mix.
Don't be surprised if your little one starts splashing around the house like they're in a mini pool—it's just the Aqua Tots magic at work!

I am amazed at how well my 4 year old son has improved learning to swim and how comfortable he is in the water now. All the instructors have been so patient with my wild child! Coach Sullivan, Coach Adam, and all the other coaches he has had are so caring, encouraging, and simply amazing! I love that the max is 4 kids, I get updates both in person and in the app, and that I am able to watch the lessons. I highly recommend Aqua Tots!

Great place to take your children for swimming lessons however I will say I wished the lessons were longer than 30 mins in my opinion at least make it to 45 mins each lesson. My daughter had Katie most days for her swimming instructor and she was amazing. She was very informative and kind when explaining to me what my daughter can do to improve her swimming. We also had another swimming instructor named Cam, he was okay. I wouldn’t say he was as friendly as the other instructors however I feel he could maybe loosen up a little bit. He also mentioned to me how my daughter wasn’t allowed to wear goggles with the nose covering. My daughter has been wearing the same goggles since she started her swimming lessons and no one mentioned it was an issue until now. Not a big deal but I still was wondering why he was the only one to say something to us about it.

Best place around for swim lessons! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and the setup lets you feel at ease knowing your child is learning in a safe environment. Multiple lifeguards per pool section and free coffee for the parents, what's not to love? If you or someone you know needs swim lessons, I highly recommend this place.

My daughter LOVES Aqua-Tots! She’s been swimming here since it opened and still gets so excited for every lesson. She is a strong and confident swimmer now and is thriving!

We've been coming to Aquatots for 4 months, 3 times a week, and we have loved every single coach! Coach Jayda, Coach Terra, and Coach Jane we have almost every week and we absolutely adore them and the way they care for our son. Every single person we interact with from the coaches to the front desk staff (Mr. Sean, Miss Sophia, and Mr. Owen are wonderfully personable and helpful!) at Aquatots knows us by name and genuinely cares about our family, it truly feels like a community in this building. The price is reasonable for the excellent level of attention your child receives and the curriculum being taught is top notch. My child is learning valuable skills in the water as well as lifelong skills like perseverance and dedication because of the wonderful education he's receiving at Aquatots. The hour and a half we spend here every week is truly a joy!
