Read More I decided to join the Aqua-Tots franchise because I believe in their expertise in the industry. They offer lessons for a wide range of ages, from babies and toddlers to young kids; it gives us the opportunity to offer classes to a large group of customers. Choosing the right partner has been instrumental to operating a successful business.Their core values are another reason why we choose Aqua-Tots. By being owners, it has taught us to do business with good hearts, caring for our customers, our community and our country. My son has been swimming with Aqua-Tots since the day we opened, and it has been an amazing eight years.A great headquarters team is key. The co-founders have laid the foundation, set expectations and prepared us since day one. Along the way, I have seen them live the core values and help us practice them as well. I can still remember the first time Paul, Ron and a few other owners flew all the way to Bangkok to give us valuable advice.I can confidently say that the Aqua-Tots team will continue to grow and improve. The first time I visited Headquarters, it was just a small space next to the Mesa school. Eight years later, the team has grown and the support from each department has become stronger every year. New technologies are being implemented that will cement us as the premier swim school, expanding the frontiers of the industry and proving Aqua-Tots' commitment to their core values, “think outside the box” and “always question the status quo.”Another thing that differentiates Aqua-Tots from other swim schools is their curriculum. It really focuses on the learning process of children and teaching in a way that they will relate to and understand. It lays down a strong foundation of swim safety, helping students to become safe, confident swimmers while creating a fun, educational experience that stays with them for a lifetime. - Tiparad “Jaa” Sitthimonamnuay

Howie Berman Franchise Owner, Two Locations in New Jersey What we have experienced in the nearly five years that we have partnered with Aqua-Tots has been a clear understanding of their advice on best practices, as well as the respectful outline of the parameters of the playing field. Read More When my brother Pete and I were looking to expand our franchisee experience to another brand, we were drawn to the swim school space, and we met with a number of brands. Because we were already a multi-unit operator, and we knew that the operation of a swim school was complex and previous experience was essential, we had a good idea of what we were looking for in a franchisor. We were looking for guidance, with a rational and logical foundation, rather than direction rooted in dictation.What we have experienced in the nearly five years that we have partnered with Aqua-Tots has been a clear understanding of their advice on best practices, as well as the respectful outline of the parameters of the playing field. The thing that we appreciate the most has been the positive experience that we have had when we are in disagreement with Headquarters. In business and life, there will always be disagreements, and it is how we treat each other during those times that makes all the difference. In that we are grateful for our continued partnership with Aqua-Tots and our relationships with the people on the Headquarters Team. - Howie Berman
