I am so grateful I found this place. I have a six and seven year old, they have been attending once a week since late February 2026, in just a few months they’re now diving and swimming on their own. We just took our first family vacation without life vests included. So proud of my girls! The cherry on top is how welcoming it feels when we go in to class and are greeted with smiles. The teacher show so much patience, care and encouragement to the children, there’s always a surplus of staff and you can tell they all support each other and have the same goal in mind. They’re all so dedicated.

I can’t say enough great things about Aqua-Tots Swim School! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. The facility is clean, organized, and focused on helping children build confidence and skills in the water.
A special shoutout to Andrea, who is an incredible manager. She is professional, attentive, and genuinely cares about every family that comes through the doors. Her leadership creates a positive environment for both the staff and students, and it truly shows in the quality of the program. I also want to recognize Aidan, who is an outstanding swim instructor who my daughter Xilena loves! He is patient, encouraging, and great with the kids. His positive attitude and ability to connect with students make learning fun while helping them feel safe and confident in the water.
If you’re looking for a swim school that genuinely cares about its students and provides exceptional instruction, I highly recommend Aqua-Tots. Andrea and Aidan are a huge part of what makes this place so special!

We’ve gone to the Hawaiian Gardens Aqua-Tots location a few times since our home school is Costa Mesa, and we’ve always had a really great experience there. It’s such a nice new location, always clean, welcoming, and well kept.
I really appreciate how accommodating they are with makeup classes and special events, which has made things so much easier for our family. One thing that means a lot to me is that they’ve been willing to work with us on having female instructors when possible, since my daughter does better with them, and I’m so grateful for that.
Everyone there is always friendly, helpful, and easy to talk to. The staff and coaches are always open to helping with any questions or concerns, even during class if something like a swim card hasn’t updated yet. Overall, it’s been such a positive experience every time we’ve gone, and I’m really happy they opened this location!

My daughter has had a wonderful experience at Aqua-Tots in Hawaiian Gardens. Since starting lessons, she has made tremendous progress in her swimming skills and confidence in the water. The instructors create a positive, supportive environment that makes learning both effective and fun.
A special thank you to Coach Elizabeth, who has played such an important role in my daughter’s growth. She is patient, encouraging, and truly cares about her students’ success. We are so grateful for her dedication and the positive impact she has had on our daughter.
We highly recommend Aqua-Tots Hawaiian Gardens to any family looking for quality swim instruction and a caring team of coaches!

We previously attended the Tustin location and were thrilled when they opened this location in Hawaiian Gardens. They also now have a really intuitive app that allows you to check in, cancel, reschedule, see notes from the coaches etc. all from your phone. They have a snack bar and free lollipops for the kids in addition to clean changing rooms and complementary hair dryers and ties. The staff and coaches are amazing with our girls! We attend weekly swim lessons with coaches Cayden and Kevin and it is evident that not only are they experienced, but also passionate about what they do! They make swim safety fun and memorable for the kids. Our girls feel so much more confident and excited about swimming due to their instruction. We highly recommend this swim school to everyone looking for a clean, modern facility with experienced staff and a convenient app for managing lessons from the comfort of your phone. Thanks Cayden and Kevin!!!
