AquaKids

Had my daughter’s 8^th birthday party here. It was so awesome. They were so good with the girls. Such a good price for what you get. The first hour and 15 minutes was spent in the pool, after that they dried off and ate, then had cake. What was also nice is the fact then you are the only ones there. No other kids running around not in the party so it doesn’t get hectic. Would definitely recommend to all who are considering having a birthday here.

We just finished our 2^nd class. Our daughter loves it! The first class is free which is great so you can see exactly what the kids learn. My LO is 18 months so she is learning the basics. Going under water, balance, wall climb, wall crawl and working the pool stairs. After each class the teachers provide a report that you can review at the next class. Teacher is great and all the kids have a lot of fun! Facility is very clean. They have showers for after the pool and changing rooms, along with lotion and a blow dryer and dryer to dry off your suits.

We switched from Winkids to Aquakids after 3 years of swim instruction (counting the mommy & me classes so I don’t know if that is a fair comparison) and my son not learning anything. What I prefer about Aquakids is they have many more times/​dates available for lessons and they have a structured lesson plan. I think the teacher to student ratios are roughly the same, but at Aquakids each class maxes out at 4 students. When you have a child who has a hard time sitting still, this helps because there are less kids to distract him and the teachers. They also have a choice of weekly classes or two week intensive «camps.»
The thing with Aquakids is your experience and results will depend greatly on the teacher you have. Since we work, we are very limited on the time slots we can sign up for, and are sort of stuck with whoever they decide to put as the instructor in a particular class at a particular level. Of the regular classes he has taken, one of his teachers was fantastic, two were average, and one I felt like didn’t like my son or small children in general. I will say that the bad part about the lesson plan structure is that some of the teachers aren’t willing to deviate from the lesson plan at all if they have a child who is falling behind or may not learn a certain way. My son isn’t athletically inclined, and it felt like several of his teachers would basically give up on him ²⁄₃ of the way through class. I made a comment to one of his teachers about it and her response was that they are limited in what they can do by the lesson plan. All that said, when I contacted the manager about options since my son had been at the same level for a year (and was getting close to learning all the required skills to progress), he was willing to work with us to get him a couple of private lessons to get our son to the next level. I was very appreciative of that and the instructor he had for those was also fantastic.
Overall, we have been happy with our experience here and our son has definitely been progressing.

Here for a birthday friends 5 year old daughters party. It is well organized, clean and the staff is attentive. My daughter truly enjoyed herself.

My son has been here almost a year and has made great strides. He has met all the recommend core safety lesson for each class he has taken and love the water. I feel much safer after all the classes he has taken. I know he has learned proper water safety and life saving skills! We will continue to progress through the lessons

After regressing in her progress over the past year or so (due to poor instructors at WinKids), we switched my daughter just a few weeks back. In that time, she has made amazing progress with her new teacher. As with everything, do your research and focus on getting a teacher that will be there long enough for your child to learn the swim without fear. For us, so far, so good.

I had some issues with the first lesson that we went to, but the manager was super nice and has agreed to work with us so that our son gets the help that he needs to overcome some of his fears. I’m looking forward to taking him to future classes at this location. Very happy that they are so willing to work with us on the problems that we had.

Worst staff ever. My daughter almost drowned there on the first day of her swim lesson due to teacher looking away to hold a conversation with a parent who did not have a child in the class. Will tell this story over and over again because Aqua Kids made no attempt to make this right. Will never recommend this place or give it praise. Manager was not even on site on this day — she was home in The Colony and after seeing hysterical parents upon her arrival 45 mins later, the only thing she offered was our money back. No apology. I tried to contact the owner on 3 occasions and have yet to hear something back. Epic fail and its a shame so many parents trust their child’s care to this staff.

We were very dissapointed in the keller facility. we rented it for 2 hours for a MEMORABLE 5^th year birthday party and found it staffed with young adults who for the most part yelled at the children while they were in the pool like they were supposed to KNOW the rules with no use of patience, instead of enlightening the parents of the rules. ANGRY parents is not what you want when it involves their babies and the goal is to have a little swim time with presents and a birthday cake with family and friends some who drove from denton to wish a very sweet and deserving little boy a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! IM afraid this type of party should be banned at your facility and just stick to what you do best teaching kids to swim, the rooms were way too small and no structure of any type was used by the staff to guide the parents in helping the staff to keep the kids safe. More signs are needed to post rules and conduct since i was scolded when i walked into the party room wet i never seen any signs stating do not enter wet. i will discourage ALL not to use you for parties period. i hate to say It was an awful experience ! Grandpa Javier Cerda refering to the party booked by Cristina Lopez for Tyler my grandson.

my daughter loves their swim classes.

My daughter had a whole summer Iof swim lessons through the city parks & rec department and could barely float, plus was afraid to go in water any deeper than 3 ft. After just one round of lessons (a couple of months worth) at Aquakids (recommended by a friend), she skipped the next level and could actually SWIM! We’re now about to start our third session and she can swim the length of the pool like a champ. They know what they are doing here. The price seems a little steep, but when you average it out over the length of the session, it’s pretty reasonable and you’re not wasting your money.

If you can afford it, send you kids here. AquaKids had great instructors and facilities. The water is also warmer than WinKids.
My kid is very enthusiastic about each lesson and is progressing very fast.

We started our kids in lessons at AquaKids when they were 2 and 4. They both have been through three sessions over the span of a year. The results have been outstanding.
Swimming lessons are all that AquaKids does, and they take it very seriously. Their classes range from toddler to kids old enough to participate on swim teams. The have very specific and obviously proven methods for teaching swimming. I’ve seen them not only work for my kids but with kids who have come in with a fear of water.
After each of the sessions are completed, we have seen marked improvement in both the kids’ ability to swim and their confidence in and around the water. My wife and I have been nothing but pleased with the results and recommend them highly. I’d make this a 5 star review, but since we haven’t used another teaching facility I’ll reserve a star for lack of comparison.
