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, Bergen, Essex and New York counties.

Franchise owners, Tim and Danielle Sporcic, are thrilled to teach local youth how to become safe, confident swimmers for life.
"Danielle grew up here, and we've lived in this community together for 14 years,” Tim said. "We have two small kids of our own, and being close to rivers, lakes and the Jersey Shore, we know firsthand how important it is for children living here to know how to swim. Water safety is essential for everyone; knowing how to swim saves lives. We are eager to equip our community's children with the confidence and skills needed to stay safe in and around the water.”
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.
