What are people saying (AI review summary)? Goldfish swim school is highly recommended by many parents, who praise the dedicated, compassionate, and patient instructors for helping children learn to swim and overcome challenges, such as transitioning to new classes or fear of water. Many children show significant progress, with some joining the swim team, and they generally enjoy their classes. However, one review highlighted a concern about a young child crying for an extended period without adequate intervention, leading to suggestions for improved handling of such situations, including parental presence or temporary removal from class, and a general request for instructors to be more mindful of respecting children's personal space.

The school is good and the kids learn about safety skills. However, the other day we observed a situation very sad and stressful. There was a kid of about 2-3 years old. He was crying not wanting to do any task or being touch. He was crying looking for kids mother. His mother was next to us and when we asked her about him she said it was fine. The kid was crying for 20 mins. I really like the school and my two children are going there. I recommend two solutions in situations like this. 1-Parent must be there if child is crying. 2- If the parent does not want to be with the child then they must take the child out of class. One more thing, please, teach the instructors about being respectful with the kids. I understand everything they do is done with love and good intentions but the kids need their space sometimes.

My kids (6 and 3) both go to Goldfish. My 3 year old just transitioned to a class where we are not in the pool with him. He has had a really hard time with it because change is hard for him. Today Miss Z came over and helped him the whole time. She was so patient and so kind. She encouraged him and made him feel safe. By the end, he was able to join his class for the final activity. I appreciate her kindness more than she will ever know.

We’ve been coming here for our 11 year old for the past 4 years. It’s the cutest place and now our son is on the swim team! A great addition to his extra curriculars!
