Our Story
Aqua-Tots Swim Schools was born in 1991 in borrowed backyard pools around Scottsdale, Arizona by Ron and Jane Sciarro. At a time when professional swim lessons were a novelty, parents often had limited quality swim instruction options, and the success of Aqua-Tots rested in our determination to truly listen to the goals of each parent for their children and to then intentionally meet those goals in the water.
With a passion for excellence, a heart for people and a commitment to seven core values, Aqua-Tots grew quickly, expanding to over 90 locations in 14 countries and counting. Our commitment to parents has remained steadfast for 27+ years, and we still value their desire to see their children develop a life-long love for swimming while establishing the life-saving skills necessary to remain safe in and around the water. After all, itโs about so much more than a swim lesson. Itโs about propelling lives, one swim lesson at a time.
