Excel Aquatics is a swim school at 1770 Central Ave, Unit 17, in Colonie — a quick drive across the Town of Colonie from the Siena College area. We’ve been teaching children and adults to swim since 2012.
Why families from Loudonville choose Excel Aquatics
Our lessons are private and one-on-one. Each lesson is one swimmer with one instructor, so your child gets the instructor’s full attention from start to finish. The instructor gets to know how your child learns and plans each lesson around their next skill — whether that’s getting comfortable in the water, floating, breathing, or building strokes. Private lessons are available for children ages 3–13 and for adults.
Loudonville and our location are both in the Town of Colonie. From Siena College, Albany Shaker Road, or Loudonville Road, it’s a short trip over to Central Avenue.
“They go above and beyond to discuss the needs of the child and work on adapting and modifying the lessons to best fit the needs of kids of all abilities.”
— Shradha G.
