Student Testimonials
We have had the most incredible experience at Aquatots in toms River! Our daughter genuinely looks forward to swim lessons every single Saturday, and Coach Kari is one of the best instructors!
Great!
Great teachers and instructions techniques are very effective.
Swimming isn’t just fun, it’s an important life skill. Introducing my baby to water in a safe, fun and low pressure environment has not only allowed him to grow to love being in the water, but he’s also built confidence in learning new skills as a baseline. The instructors are patient, competent and joyful and the facility is warm, clean and friendly.
The instructors are amazing and so patient with my child. The front desk staff are extremely welcoming and also always giving my child extra love and attention. My child has learned so much in the approximately 6 months attending and has such a fun time doing it!
We have been at aqua tots for 4 years. My child has loved it and has been successful!
Excellent instructors and support crew.
The staff is so kind and patient with our 6 month old son. He started classes when he was 4 months old and everyone has been so patient with his progress.
The swim instructors are patient and kind to beginner students.
Only reason I gave 9 and not 10 is because coaches keep changing every week. Some stability would be nice
My daughter is learning so much and continues to improve!
The swim instructors have all been amazing and they actually help them get used to the water. The front desk always greet us and are very friendly. The change rooms are kept clean.
My only feedback is there needs to be change tables installed in at least 2 or 3 of the stalls. It’s very difficult to get a baby changed and not have them roll off the bench if you are by yourself.
Great coaches. Friendly staff. Easy to use app. Clean premises.
Love the staff and our little 3 year old just loves her swim instructor, Ms. Susan.
Buena tecnica en las clases
Very professional, friendly and helpful crew. The kids apperantly like the instructors and enjoy the classes. Comfortable environment for both kids and parents. The focus on the feedbacks helps following the progress. Cancellation and rebooking are easy. The only reason I give only 9 because the place sometimes is crowded and the pool is small. There is no big pool experience where the swimming skill is a have to.
Jimmy loves to swim and is so confident at 10 months old.
From the moment you walk into aqua tots at Powell, you’re greeted with a smile from Melissa. She’s so welcoming and knows the kids names.
Grace is a wonderful instructor and has given our child confidence in the water. She gives great feedback and genuinely wants the kids to do well.
It’s a very friendly environment most of the instructors work well with my son.
Flexible scheduling
Love the coach. I really like how she explains how to do things, and why we do them. I also feel very comfortable asking questions and that my child is learning
Price and the teaching quality.
I’ve seen my daughter gain confidence in the water after every swim lesson.
Staff members are very friendly
We absolutely love Karen! She has been the best swim instructor for my daughter, Sophie. You can tell right away how caring and patient she is — she always takes the time to explain what they’re doing and why, which makes such a difference as a parent.
My baby definitely has her moments where she screams or gets overwhelmed, and Karen never makes me feel judged or uncomfortable. She’s so reassuring, calm, and understanding. I always feel like Sophie is safe and supported with her, and I’ve learned so much just by watching how she works with the babies.
If you’re looking for an instructor who truly knows what she’s doing and has a heart of gold, Karen is the one. We’re so grateful for her!
The staff at aquatots is incredibly patient and knowledgeable. We’ve had great experiences with all instructors we’ve encountered. The entire Toms River school is run so well and we couldn’t be happier. We travel from Manahawkin because it’s been such a great experience and our children are flourishing in the swim journeys. Overall very happy with Aquatots TR!
My child has become such a good swimmer!
