Frequently Asked
QUESTIONS
What age can my child start swimming lessons?
We begin teaching children to swim as young as four months old, but if your child is older than that, go ahead and start now—there’s always time to learn! The proven Aqua-Tots curriculum is designed to teach children of all ages and abilities how to become safe and confident swimmers for life.
How long are swim lessons?
Swim lessons at Aqua-Tots last 30 minutes. We’ve found this to be the ideal length of time that young children can focus while still having fun.
How many students are in a swim class at Aqua-Tots?
Our small group swim lessons at Aqua-Tots have a 4:1 student to instructor ratio. This ensures a safe and social environment for your child to learn to swim.
Is my child expected to go underwater?
The simple answer is, YES! Safe swimming begins with learning breath control right from the start, and children learn to hold their breath through experience. Going underwater is something most children enjoy after just a few lessons. So, keep cheering them on, even if they’re nervous.
How quickly will my child learn to swim?
Our instructors are committed to helping each child progress as quickly as possible while maintaining the standards of our proven curriculum. Each child’s progress is unique and impacted by age, frequency of lessons, level of comprehension, development of motor and cognitive skills, and their ability to process multiple tasks. Your child’s coach will communicate with you following each lesson so you know what they are working on, and you can easily track their progress from the Aqua-Tots app!
What happens if my child misses a lesson?
We know life gets busy, and sometimes lessons need to be rescheduled. If your child is going to be absent, please use the Aqua-Tots mobile app to cancel their lesson or give us a call as far in advance as possible. It’s also easy to use the app to schedule a make-up lesson so your tot can stay on top of their swimming progress!
