Aqua-Tots Swim School Wheaton - Wheaton, Illinois

Worst Experience Ever - Do Not Recommend!

I can’t even begin to describe how frustrating my experience at this swim school was. After enrolling my child in their program and spending TWO YEARS in an entry-level course, there was absolutely no progress. The school had constant turnover in instructors, which led to a lack of consistency and zero clear guidance on what my child needed to do to move up to any level beyond the entry course.

Despite the fact that we invested so much time, we never received any concrete goals or feedback on how to help my child progress. After finally scheduling a 1:1 evaluation lesson, they claimed my child did a great job and was even advanced in many skills. However, they still refused to move him to the next level, which made absolutely no sense.

To top it all off, when I tried to use my makeup days to continue the lessons and get him to the next level, they refused to accommodate it. Instead, they required me to make a special trip within a narrow 3-hour window to stop payments and disenroll, or they would continue charging me.

This school took zero accountability for their lack of progress and poor customer service. Save yourself the frustration and find a swim school that actually cares about your child’s development and treats you with respect.

Highly unprofessional, and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Can’t say enough great things about Aqua Totes Wheaton! Our daughter has struggled with swim lessons for years. Particularly putting her face in the water. All of the coach have been amazing working with her but Coach Luke was the best! Not only did he get her to put her face in the water, but she got the ring from the bottom of pool & came up smiling!!!! Thanks Coach Luke!!!

Coach Abbie has been our child’s swim coach for about year, and I highly recommend her! Our daughter continually looks forward to swim lessons due to the positive impact Abbie has had coaching her. My husband and I have zero complaints and are so grateful to have Abbie as her swim coach! Abbie makes each class fun and safe — and patiently takes the time to help each child acclimate to the water. It took our daughter a bit a time to be comfortable jumping in the water — and Coach Abbie was very encouraging and helpful to help her achieve this. Fast forward - our daughter’s favorite part of swimming is jumping in! We have had great things to say about the experience at Aqua-Tots, thanks very much largely in part due to Coach Abbie!

Aqua Tots is a great local swim school that has been recommended by many to us. We’ve been coming since our daughter was about 16 months old. The teachers have gotten better the longer we’ve stayed. Abbie has been a great swim instructor for our daughter for about 2 yrs. Abbie has helped our daughter gain the confidence and courage a young swimmer needs to learn. We also appreciate the extra effort in letting us know about her schedule. Over all a great experience for our now 4yr old.

My son started at 4 months old and has been enrolled twice a week for 5 months now. Coach Abbie has been working with him on one of those days and she is very enthusiastic with all the students. She is very clear with directions and timely with each session. As a parent, she has made swim lessons stress-free week-to-week and helped build confidence in both my son and myself.

We’ve been coming to Aqua-Tots for 6 years now. My 6 year old is able to swim independently and be safe in the water. We love it here. All the coaches are wonderful. Today we had coach Lucy and coach Roberto and both were great. You cannot go wrong with aqua tots wheaton. The manager Richie is great as well. Thanks to all the coaches for giving this mama peace of mind with her boys in the water!

We love Aqua-Tots! Our son has been going there for over 2 years now - great staff, facility, everything is clean and everyone is welcoming. And Coach Abbie is THE BEST - she's encouraging, so positive and holds our son accountable. He loves going to swim class and he loves Coach Abbie!

This place has been great! Have tried a few instructors here who have all been wonderful, and Abbie especially has been a favorite! Her enthusiasm and natural ability to ease even the most anxious of kids has been so instrumental to putting my 4 year old at ease. Both my 4 year old and 9 year old love her! She truly makes learning so fun.
