Aqua-Tots Swim School’s newest facility is now open in the city of North Bergen. The 9,000-square-foot facility, located at 3131 John F. Kennedy Blvd, resides within Columbia Park shopping center and has direct access to Highway 495, making it easily accessible to the families of Hudson County and beyond.
Aqua-Tots Swim School’s program has been parent-approved for more than 30 years and is used in schools around the world to create safe and confident lifelong swimmers.
The company is dedicated to putting “safety first and fun every second” into every lesson. Parents can choose from small group, semi-private or private lessons to suit their child’s needs. Aqua-Tots also understands that each child is unique and may need accommodations.
The year-round swim school makes accessibility a priority by offering adaptive lessons to ensure the right fit for every skill level.
The new North Bergen location is owned by local franchisees Tim and Danielle Sporcic, who are looking forward to increasing water safety awareness in their area.
“As a previous resident of this community, I know how important water safety is for families here,” Danielle Sporcic said. “With so many opportunities to be around water—from local pools to nearby rivers and the Jersey Shore—swimming is more than a fun activity, it’s a lifesaving skill. We want every child to have the confidence to enjoy the water safely, and we’re excited to provide families with the tools they need to make that happen.”
Aqua-Tots North Bergen features a 90-degree, 68-foot-long pool with 16 swim zones, 15 changing rooms and an expansive glass viewing area, where parents can sit back, relax and watch their child’s progress from cozy red armchairs. Families are invited to use the facility’s fully stocked vanity to get ready before and after class.
Families can walk in during business hours to speak with the team, learn more about the program and take a tour of the school.
