VIRGINIA BEACH – Aqua-Tots Swim School is set to open its newest location in Virginia Beach this fall, aimed at providing kid-friendly swim programs tailored for local children. The franchise, which has gained the trust of parents since its inception in 1991, boasts a high satisfaction rate and focuses on creating a safe, fun learning environment for children of all ages and abilities.
The curriculum at Aqua-Tots is designed with child development in mind, comprising eight swim class levels that aim to enhance children’s motor skills. The swim lessons are available for children starting as young as four months old, extending up to 12 years, thus accommodating a wide range of ages and skill levels. Families have the option to choose small class sizes, with a maximum of four students per instructor, ensuring personalized instruction for each child.
Swim lessons at the new Virginia Beach location will be available Monday through Saturday, with flexible scheduling options to cater to busy family lifestyles. The school additionally offers adaptive lessons and Fast Track programs tailored for children with unique needs and goals, ensuring that every child receives the attention and instruction they require.
The new Aqua-Tots franchise in Virginia Beach will be managed by Jessica Stevenson, who brings over a decade of experience with the organization. Having commenced her journey with Aqua-Tots in 2015 and previously managing the Holly Springs, NC branch, Stevenson is well-equipped to oversee the new location and its operations.

To introduce the community to its programs, Aqua-Tots will host a “Sneak Peek” event, offering families the opportunity to participate in free swim lessons during the first two weeks after the opening. This initiative is designed to familiarize families with the curriculum and meet the trained staff who will be instructing lessons.
