Testimonials

Love love this place! when we walk in they know our family by name! I originally only had one kid signed up after seeing how small the class sizes are and how attentive the coaches are I signed my Second child up!
– Rashonda, McKinney, TX

We're new here at Aqua Kids but have really enjoyed it. Every one is super friendly, the facility is nice, new and clean. They've been super flexible with my changing schedule. My kids (ages 4 and 5) have learned a lot in just 2 lessons. Highly recommend!
– Becky, McKinney, TX

We have absolutely loved our experience so far with AquaKids! My daughter has only had 3 lessons and I already see significant improvements! Highly recommend. We’ve attended lessons at other swim schools, but this has been the best experience by far!
– Delana, McKinney, TX

A top notch facility, with such a kind & welcoming staff!!
– Caleb, McKinney, TX

In speaking with other parents at the community pool, I have found that an overwhelming number of parents weren’t happy with their swim programs that their children took part in (not AquaKids®). They constantly said it was more play than anything else. I have never felt this way with AquaKids® and willingly tell everyone to come to yo...

From the minute you walk in you are treated like family. Our 2 yesterday old twin boys went from being scared the first day to swimming on their own and moving onto water tots 2 in the past 2 months. Very grateful to their very kind and patient teacher Jacob!!
– Jamie, McKinney, TX

We joined AquaKids so our 3 year old daughter would be safe at our community pool or on vacation, but we had no idea she would love swimming as much as she does. She loves all the teachers she has had and is always so excited to get in the pool, often to the point that she doesn't want to get out at the end of class.
– Kristal, Keller, TX

Really great teachers and staff. They are very warm to the children and know how to help very young, first-time swimmers. Teachers are there for the kids. Warm water helped my children to focus on learning. We have been coming to AquaKids since 2000 with breaks but have not thought of other options.
– Kunjal, Flower Mound, TX

I highly recommend AquaKids. The entire staff is great. They are fantastic with kids and teaching them so they can understand. My 3 y/o loved it and learned so much in such a short amount of time. We loved our experience.
– Melissa, McKinney, TX

AquaKids has been great for our 2 girls. Our instructors are great. Our older daughter has learned more in her first few lessons here than she learned in more than 6 months in a competitive swim school. They are highly accommodating and the management is also very friendly. I would highly recommend them.
– Gene, McKinney, TX

My 2 & 1/2 year old daughter was terrified to go under water. After just 5 classes she loves it now! I would recommend this to any parent wanting to put their child in swim lessons.
– Randy, Keller, TX

AquaKids has a great facility that lets me watch my kids during their lessons. Thier teachers are great and do a wonderful job teaching the children the correct form in all strokes. It has been a very positive experience.
– Sarah, Flower Mound, TX

We love Aqua Kids! The class sizes are very small and all the instructors are wonderful. Andrew has been an absolute gem with both my girls. My 2 year old is starting to feel more comfortable in the water and going under water after just a few days. My 4 year old has also gained so much confidence and is well on her way to mastering the class objec...
– Jessica, McKinney, TX

The staff was great; they made it enjoyable for my child and the teachers gave him confidence in the water. I couldn’t believe my eyes when my son swam the entire length of the pool by himself after just 3-4 weeks. He didn’t even know how to swim before this. I liked how he was able to move up levels when able to do so.
– Dohe, Keller, TX

We have had such a great experience here!! The swim instructors are top notch! When we began our overly brave 2 yr old had NO skills! He can now swim 6 ft, jump in and get back out of the pool unassisted! He has made great progress and I now have confidence as a mom that he won’t drown! His back float looks great and he loves diving deep for ...
– Courtney, McKinney, TX

Andrew and his staff are VERY: professional, courteous and friendly. More importantly, they are doing what we pay for! That is, teaching our 2 sons to swim and be safe in the water. Having peace of mind that our children can actually swim and be safe while away from us is priceless!
– Marcus, McKinney, TX

My son’s swimming, and his own confidence in his swimming, has greatly improved at AquaKids. The teachers give individulized and personalized care to each swimmer’s needs. They are patient and encouraging.
– Evelyn, Flower Mound, TX

Both of my daughters take lessons here and are improving at a dramatic speed. And, they love their teacher, Miss Banana! I highly recommend AquaKids McKinney!
– Elizabeth, McKinney, TX

We have been with AquaKids for 10 years. We love the low student-teacher ratio and the individualized instruction that each student receives. Teachers know what the kids are capable of and encourage them to do their best. The biggest testament to AquaKids is that both of my kids could swim and swim well years before their peers. Strangers would com...
– Melissa, Flower Mound, TX

My son was not at all comfortable in the water when he started the first level of pre-school classes. He took to the coach easily, however, and became more adventurous every week. We look forward to starting the next level of classes this Friday! Great job Brad and AquaKids!
– Aliah, Keller, TX

I was really impressed! My son started the morning crying out of fear before going to the lesson, but instantly was made to feel comfortable & by the end was swimming across the pool. (He's taken lessons in the past, but hadn't been in the water in a very long time.) He left saying, "That was so much fun! Can we come again tomorrow?" I ...
– Connor, McKinney, TX

My children (3yrs & 6yrs) have thoroughly enjoyed their summer classes at AquaKids. Neither of my kids have ever taken swim classes before and were both uncomfortable being in the water. They both love their classes and want to stay longer. They look forward to it all week!
– Rebecca, Flower Mound, TX

Our son started with AquaKids about 2 months ago. He is 18 months old, and we love all they do in their lessons. We've been impressed with all our son can do after such a little amount of time. He has fun and enjoys his teacher. At home he even sings the tick-tock and motor boat songs that they sing in lessons!
– Kristen, Keller, TX

We love having the same instructor each lesson. Our two year old has progressed in his first month of lessons very quickly! We owe it to the great instruction that he is getting at each lesson!
– Courtney, McKinney, TX

As a mom of 2 who has never written an online review, I was waiting for the right time. After trying out a couple other swim schools, Aquakids ended up being the best choice. My son had always been quite afraid of the water and would sometimes not even want to go past his knees into a swimming pool. So getting him comforable with the water before h...
– Lisa, McKinney, TX

We have been very pleased with both of the classes my children have taken at AquaKids. Their teachers have been very patient and kind in their instruction and are also very knowledgeable. The facility is clean and the office staff is organized and helpful.
