Aqua-Tots Swim School Raleigh | Wake County, NC
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.
Families rave about the warm, friendly vibe at Aqua Tots, where little ones leap into the pool with giggles and splashes, often shouting, 'Look, Mom, I'm a fish!' after just a few classes!

We’ve had the best experience with Aqua-Tots!! Our child loves the coaches and thrives in the water! When we need to work on areas, they give us useful tools to help with improvements. The scheduling in the app allows me to pick up and cancel classes easily. Every single coach has been patient and kind. The office staff are sweet and thoughtful! The facility is clean and well-kept.

I’ve been taking my 4 year old here for a few months, and it has been an amazing experience!!! On her first day, we got a special red bracelet that let everyone know it’s her first time and all the coaches made sure to acknowledge that! It was so sweet. Once she got in the water she felt nervous and one of the deck supervisors got in the pool along with her teacher so allow her to have some one on one time. You would think this was only because it was her first lesson but no, it happened again recently where she was having a hard time and again another couch jumped right in and gave her the extra attention she needed. All the coach’s are super sweet, kind, and very patient!!! We have loved all the ones we have had! The teachers we have had so far are Lillian, (she teachers my daughters private lessons) Ruthie and Ashlyn and my 4 year old loves them all!! It’s rare to find an environment that feels welcoming all the time but aqua tots does it each time! They are great at making the kids feel special and safe.

My 5 yo was afraid of the water, had no interest in swimming, and zero confidence going even past his knees. Aquatots has been fantastic for him. He is now up to level 6 two years later. All the instructors are great with kids. He is confident and enjoying himself.

AMAZING STAFF, facility, and program! We enrolled when my son was 2.5yo. He started as the fearful, crying toddler (tears to cheers was real for us) and is now a joyful, competent, confident, happy 5 yo swimmer- thanks to a FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE AT AQUATOTS RALEIGH! The staff is very knowledgeable, welcoming and personable. They truly individualize teaching methods and build a bond w the students. I am so happy we have this community!

Aqua-Tots and the instructors are awesome! Like any child, overcoming his/her fears is part of the journey! Our son, Aubrey, finally got "it" and he's more confident than ever, thanks to the instructions of Aqua-Tots! Level 4 and counting! This is the place to be!
