Our story
Meet Fin-Tastic Aquatics.
Meet the founder of Fin-Tastic Aquatics, Sean M. Zaro, who brings over 12 years of experience working with individuals with special needs. With a passion for teaching and a dedication to building confidence, independence, and joy in the water, he created Fin-Tastic Aquatics to make swimming accessible, fun, and transformative for children and adults of all abilities.
We're a family-run swim instruction team based in Freehold, New Jersey, on a mission to help swimmers of every age and ability feel confident, safe and independent in the water.
From a child's very first splash to an adult finally learning to swim — plus adaptive lessons for swimmers with special needs — we meet every student where they are and cheer them on, one smooth lap at a time.
