Aqua-Tots Swim School
This month, we’re diving into the heart of water safety and confidence-building by featuring Aqua-Tots Swim School as our Local Business Spotlight!

Who They Are
Founded in 1991 in Scottsdale, Arizona, by Ron Sciarro and Paul Preston, Aqua-Tots Swim School was born out of a passion for providing high-quality swim instruction in a nurturing environment. Today, Aqua-Tots has grown into a trusted name in swim education, with locations across the globe–including right here in Dayton.
What They Do
Aqua-Tots Swim School provides a safe, welcoming space where every child matters. Specializing in swim lessons for all ages and abilities, they start as early as four months old, offering a comprehensive and compassionate curriculum designed to meet every swimmer where they are.
Whether it’s building basic survival skills or mastering advanced strokes, Aqua-Tots empowers children to progress at their own pace with the guidance of certified, passionate instructors. Their focus isn’t just on swimming–it’s on instilling a lifelong love for the water, prioritizing safety, and nurturing confidence every step of the way.
In addition to lessons, Aqua-Tots is deeply engaged in the community through local events, sponsorships, and charitable initiatives aimed at promoting water safety and accessibility.

What Makes Aqua-Tots Unique
Aqua-Tots stands out thanks to its small class sizes, certified instructors, and warm-water pools that create a comfortable and fun learning environment. With a variety of class options–including group, private, and parent-child lessons–each program is personalized to suit the swimmer’s individual needs.
Structured assessments, consistent instruction methods, and regular progress updates ensure every swimmer receives the highest quality guidance. It’s this commitment to excellence that sets Aqua-Tots apart.
Why They Love Dayton
For Leslie, the Beavercreek GM, Dayton is more than just a place to work–it’s home. She loves the city’s vibrant and diverse community, and the never-ending calendar of events and family-friendly activities. From scenic hiking trails and amusement centers to cultural landmarks like the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, Dayton offers a perfect blend of innovation, history, and fun.
The legacy of Dayton natives like the Wright Brothers, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and Erma Bombeck inspire a continued commitment to creativity, community, and progress–values Aqua-Tots holds dear.
