## Story

MESA, ARIZ. (PRWEB) November 15, 2022 - Aqua-Tots Swim Schools announces the opening of its first New England location in Norwood, Massachusetts. Located at 995 Providence Highway, on the corner of Route 1 and Dean Street, Aqua-Tots Norwood opened to the community on Monday, November 7, 2022.

Aqua-Tots Norwood is the first location for franchisees and business partners, Mo Thweny, Jason Ibrahim and Bashar Hannosh.

“Bringing the Aqua-Tots swim program to New England is something we’re really excited to be a part of,” said Thweny. “Parents trust this program, and now the families of Massachusetts will have access to quality, year-round swim lessons. In an area with so many young families and a strong sense of community, we’re honored to serve them.”

Drowning is the primary cause of unintentional, injury-related death among children under four, however, participation in formal swim lessons can reduce that risk by 88% for children in the same age group. The Aqua-Tots Swim Journey takes children as early as four months old on a journey toward safe and confident swimming for life. The curriculum is comprised of eight levels and is used to teach more than five million swim lessons around the world every year.

Aqua-Tots Norwood is now open Monday through Saturday, and 2023 pre-paid plans are now available in time for Christmas. Families can reserve a spot in small group (4:1 ratio), semi-private (2:1 ratio) or private (1:1 ratio) lessons before classes fill up. Aqua-Tots Norwood also features Swim Club, Swim Team, the Special Needs Aquatic Program (S.N.A.P.), Fast Track, and adult swim lessons.
