ABOUT US

Aqua Tots Westchester is unlike any other swim school. Over the past 35 years we have grown into one of the largest swim schools in the area, generating out clientele solely based on our reputation which is passed on from family to family by word of mouth. Aqua Tots' owners, Aileen Crampton Bucciero & Fiona Crampton Kearney, continue to uphold the beliefs that any child can learn to swim, and that learning to swim can be accomplished faster in small, individualized groups.

Currently, Aqua Tots specializes in a wide variety of levels including infant/toddler, learn to swim, stroke development, stroke refinement and pre-swim team. Through the years we have proven that our "Ready-Set-Swim" Method works. Every member of our staff is trained and monitored to create consistency in our instruction throughout our program. Additionally, each child is assessed daily and challenged to his/her specific level. All of our classes are based on strict teacher to student ratios that enable children to test themselves, interact with others, and most importantly, get plenty of personal instruction

 

What Makes Aqua Tots Different?

OUR INSTRUCTION AND CLASS RATIOS:

  • Aqua Tots has its own unique learn to swim method called Ready-Set-Swim.
  • This methodology began over 35 years ago when Patricia Marano, founded Aqua Tots. The methodology's core principals remain the same but Aileen and Fiona are constantly updating and developing new and innovative swimming techniques.
  • We have some of the lowest class ratios in the areas without charging private or semi- private lesson prices!

 

OUR TEACHERS:

  • Being a lifeguard qualifies you to save lives, NOT to teach swimming!
  • Aqua Tots instructors are chosen for their passion and ability to work with young children. They each receive a minimum of 50 hours of training in our Ready-Set-Swim curriculum.
  • Every instructor is monitored weekly, if not daily, to ensure program consistency.
  • Training is continual, and instructors are required to attend frequent in-house workshops where new and exciting techniques are frequently being designed.

 

OUR RESULTS:

  • Our results are unparalleled by any other local swim school.
  • We strongly encourage parents to go to other local swim programs and ask to view a class for your child's age and ability. Then come to Aqua Tots and view that same type of class and you will notice the difference.
  • Almost all of our 4 year olds are swimming 30 feet independently and are learning freestyle and backstroke. The majority of our 3 year olds can swim underwater by themselves, and they know how to jump in the pool and get back to safety. Many of our parent/child graduates can swim 30 feet unassisted before they turn 3 years old!
