Fort Aquatics is a 5200 square foot private indoor swim facility with a temperature controlled pool that operates year round with water temperature maintained around 90 degrees. The facility uses a state of the art UV water filtration system that completely changes over all of the pool water every 90 minutes and is described as a clean, safe, child-friendly facility. Fort Aquatics is an affiliate business of Fort Montessori Academy and was created in unison with Fort Gymnastics and Fort Montessori to offer an a la carte set of services to parents.
Fort Aquatics was established in June 2017, and the owners are also the founders of Fort Montessori and Fort Gymnastics. Fort Montessori opened in June 2010, and Fort Aquatics management has over 10 years of experience running Fort Montessori school, Fort Aquatics, and Fort Gymnastics classes for children, with over 15 years of experience working with children overall. Fort Aquatics is proudly owned by Uma and Arun, and Uma Alagappan is the Co-Owner and Assistant Aquatic Director of Fort Aquatics.
The team at Fort Aquatics consists of dedicated, friendly, and well-trained instructors who have all undergone thorough background checks. The program uses an adaptive training methodology, with programs customized and adapted to each child’s unique learning needs, and the owners embrace the philosophy that “Every child is different.” The stated philosophy in teaching swimming and gymnastics is “Believe and Inspire,” which includes the belief that every child has the potential to learn and master any skill if it is taught properly and the child has a passion to learn, and that the job of the instructor is to inspire through encouragement and motivation.
Fort Aquatics provides pick up from elementary schools in and around Murphy as part of its program and takes children to swim and gym classes. The program notes top-notch customer service as one of its features.
Parent testimonials describe children progressing from disliking swim lessons to swimming on their own, and from being terrified of water to swimming to retrieve toys from the bottom of the pool. One parent notes choosing Fort Aquatics because their child is sensitive to chemicals such as chlorine and highlights the UV filter and lower chlorine use, as well as better teacher-to-student ratios and a caring, positive culture from trainers and owners. Multiple testimonials describe the staff and swim teachers as amazing or very nice and helpful, and refer to the facility as calm, inviting, and top notch.
