Aqua-Tots is dedicated to year-round swim lessons so that families in the East Cobb region will be able to enjoy many more happy memories around the water.

"Even though we opened November, we know that water safety is at the top of parents' minds as summer approaches. Families will be around the water more during vacations and in neighborhood and backyard pools," said Rhodenbaugh. "We would love for the community to join us as we celebrate our official grand opening with the Cobb County Chamber of Commerce on April 14 at 11:00 AM." Families can tour the facility, meet the leadership team, and learn more about the Aqua-Tots program.
