Indoor Swimming School Coming To Crocker Park

WESTLAKE, OH — An indoor swim school, Aqua-Tots, will open its first Cleveland-area location at Crocker Park's Promenade in early 2019, the shopping complex's parent company announced Friday. The owners and operators of the school are native Ohioans, Mike and Jill Kallmeyer.

"We are thrilled to bring the first Aqua-Tots Swim School in the Cleveland area to Crocker Park in Westlake,” said the Kallmeyers. “As native Ohioans with lots of family and friends in Northeast Ohio, this feels like home to us. We look forward to meeting the Aqua-Tots Crocker Park families in 2019!"

The Aqua-Tots swim school will provide daily swim instruction and water safety classes to make both children and parents more comfortable in the water. The classes are open to children from 4 months old to 12 years old. Each session is 30 minutes long and classes are offered specifically for children, as well as "Mom/Dad & Me" classes.

The Kallmeyers have two other Aqua-Tots locations, both in the Columbus-area. The owners' daughters are long-time participants in the program.

“Swim education and safety is so important, and we’re thrilled to welcome Aqua-Tots and their mission to bring water safety and education to families in the Cleveland community!” said Tina Roberts, vice president of commercial operations for Stark Enterprises, the parent company of Crocker Park.

Aqua-Tots facilities feature an interactive lobby and waiting areas, private changing rooms, and artistic décor. The indoor pool is climate controlled. The Westlake location will be open seven days a week, with periodic events.
