Reviews
Swimming day has become our favourite day of the week since we started Aquabubbas. My daughter's confidence, skills and safety in the water, as well as her enjoyment, have grown immensely. I highly recommend booking your little one in as early as you feel comfortable!
We love aquatots. We attend Black Mountain with Raffy and she is brilliant with our non-swimming-loving boy. Always happy and animated and very professional with her classes. We have moved & it's no longer convenient for us to attend Black Mountain, but we make it work to keep seeing Raffy. The class structures are great with good variety.
We have been attending Aquatots for years and absolutely love the Black Mountain location. Its convenient location and small, intimate venue make it perfect for our family. The entire team genuinely cares about our son's progression and confidence in the water. A special shoutout to Raffy for her incredible, caring approach to our son, who was often nervous about swimming. She went above and beyond, providing private lessons for one term, during which his swimming ability skyrocketed through the levels. We can’t wait for our second son to join the Aquatots family and start his swimming journey here. Highly recommend Aquatots to any family looking for dedicated instructors and a supportive environment!
Absolutely love Aqua Tots, especially our regular centre @ Black Mountain. Our daughter has been attending every week since 6 months old to say she loves it is an understatement. Our instructor Melina is such an easy going, friendly and fun person, which makes our visits so much better. Between Melinas and Raffys knowledge & great personalities, I really couldn't recommend anyone better to teach the kids. Only thing I would say could use some work would be adding a larger or extra change rooms/showers, but other than that, we have nothing bad or negative to say. 10 out of 10 recommend aqua tots black Mountain.
We have just finished our first term at Aquatots Black Mountain, our third swim school attempt in recent years! My son loves 'play swimming' with family and friends but lessons have been a challenge. The pool water at Aquatot pools is warm and now (with hindsight) its so obvious that a key reason my son hated lessons at other pools was being cold in the water. His swimming has improved significantly over just one term. Also, I really like that I can take my son to any Aquatot pool outside lesson time for free - amazing, and none of our previous swim schools offered this. The free progression program in the school holidays is another bonus. Highly recommend: good teaching, structured program, warm pools, value for money.
