About
Goldfish Swim School - Clifton Park, located at 1208 NY-146 Suite # 6, Clifton Park, NY, is a premier learn-to-swim facility dedicated to children aged 4 months to 12 years. They offer unique "Science of SwimPlay" curriculum in a fun and safe environment, featuring small class sizes and highly trained instructors to help kids develop essential swimming skills.
The facility prides itself on maintaining its pools at a consistent and comfortable temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 32 degrees Celsius) to ensure a 'shiver-free' and enjoyable learning experience for all young swimmers.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Goldfish Swim School receives predominantly positive feedback, with many praising the warm pool, dedicated and encouraging instructors, and the significant progress children make in their swimming abilities. Reviewers appreciate the helpful front desk staff, flexible scheduling with makeup tokens, and convenient auto-pay. The general manager, Kassie, and the overall staff are often highlighted for being friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Children reportedly feel comfortable and enjoy their lessons, with continuous assessment ensuring timely progression. However, one specific location (Clifton-park) received strong criticism regarding poor management, lack of instructor consistency (often high school students), and the inability for children to build trust with frequently changing instructors, leading to disappointment and the perception of high cost for little value.

We started going to Goldfish when they first opened and my son was only 11 months old. My son is now 3 years old and we don’t miss a week without swimming at Goldfish. My son loves the instructors and the warm temperature pool. My son’s swimming abilities have expended so much with our years at goldfish. The front desk staff and the deck supervisors are all very helpful and informative. My son even had his 2nd birthday party at goldfish. It was a fun experience and he loves his swim lessons.

I like the consistency and availability of scheduling classes, I like the encouraging instructors (like Erin) and their patience with the students, the convenience of the auto-pay feature, and the ability to receive and use makeup tokens to fit our availability.

We were very disappointed with 6 months of lessons for our 3 & 4 year old grandchildren. Excellent facility but so poorly managed. No consistency at all with mostly high school kids as instructors. There seems to be no clear course forward as the kids have no chance to build a level of trust with the instructor due to different instructors constantly changing. Very expensive and not worth the time at the Clifton-park location.

Such a wonderful place for littles to learn to swim! The staff are super friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate. My child feels comfortable and has progressed so much in a short time! I love that they are also always constantly assessing progress to move your child up as soon as they’re ready. They are amazing here!
