Alabama’s first Aqua-Tots Swim School opened this Monday, January 15th in Hoover.

One of 147 Aqua-Tots Swim Schools

Owned and operated by franchisee and Birmingham native, Dave Dunlap, Aqua-Tots Swim Schools, is one of the largest international swim school companies in the world with 147 worldwide locations. 

The new Alabama franchise is located at 1694 Montgomery Highway in Suite 144 in Hoover, Alabama. 

“Birmingham is home for me; always has been and always will be. This is where I’m raising my daughter, where we go to church, where we play, and where our community is. Unfortunately, in our area, swim lessons have only been offered during summer months, often with limited capacity, and usually in backyard or recreational pools. We saw an opportunity to make an immediate impact on our community and shift the idea of water safety from simply a summertime activity to a year-round priority. It’s an honor to bring the first Aqua-Tots in Alabama to Birmingham.”

~ Dave Dunlap, Aqua-Tots Swim Schools

At 6,000 square feet, the state-of-the-art swim school is now open to families throughout the Birmingham metro area. The school offers the world-renowned Aqua-Tots curriculum which is used to teach more than five million swim lessons every year.
