Rancho Cucamonga, CA – March 10, 2020 – Progressive Real Estate Partners, the leading Inland Empire retail brokerage, announced today the signing of two leases for indoor swim schools in retail centers in Rancho Cucamonga and La Verne, California.

Both locations will operate year-round and are projected to be open by this summer.
The two leases include:
- Aqua-Tots has signed a lease for a 6,400 sf space at 8750 Baseline Road, Rancho Cucamonga, CA in the Stater Bros. anchored Country Village Center at the corner of Baseline and Archibald.

Other tenants in the popular neighborhood center include Bank of America, Carl’s Jr. and Sally Beauty. Aqua-Tots will feature a heated indoor pool to make kids swim lessons comfortable and effective. Swim lessons will be offered for children ages 4 months to 12 years with a variety of class times. All instructors have completed over 30 hours of classroom and in-water training including CPR instruction. Headquartered in Mesa, Arizona, Aqua-Tots is the world’s largest swim school franchise serving over 100 communities worldwide. Progressive Real Estate Partner’s VP of Leasing and Sales Pablo Velasco marketed the property and represented the landlord in the transaction.
