What are people saying (AI review summary)? Goldfish Burlington generally receives positive feedback for its child-friendly atmosphere, effective swimming instruction, and excellent amenities such as a warm pool, heated deck, and convenient changing facilities. Many families report their children, including toddlers, gain confidence and essential water safety skills, often enjoying the welcoming staff and small class sizes.

The atmosphere is designed to excite children, with fun elements and a reward lollipop at the end. However, the quality of the coaches varies greatly. Some coaches repeatedly make the children do the same things without much progress, and some don’t even watch the children they’re supposed to be coaching, instead focusing on other lanes. I hope the quality and attentiveness of the coaches can be reviewed and improved.

Goldfish has been a great spot for my two toddlers to learn to swim. They are taught skills to keep them safe in and around the water as well as to how to have fun in the water. We have been coming to goldfish Burlington since my daughter was about 20-months old and she is now almost 3.5y/o! She loves it! Both of my kiddos are so comfortable in the space... staff arr always sure to welcome them to Goldfish, ask how they are, etc. I am so happy with the service and relationships we have built here.

Our family recommends goldfish in Burlington for so many reasons, from the well educated staff to the super clean and WARM pool. My son has been taking lessons for almost two years now and he has grown into such a confident swimmer during this time. With the help of his instructor Ada he has learned many life saving skills for when he is in the water! Some other pros of Goldfish that we love are- Changing huts - for before and after lessons so no leaving in wet swim clothes. Showers, a bathing suit spinner(the best amenity by far), and a hair drying station for the days it’s cold out! The pool deck is also heated to the perfect temperature, so even when it’s cold outside you are warm for your lesson! And last but not least, smaller class ratios! The classes are perfect sized, which is great!

We have been with Goldfish for 6 months now. My son has AuDHD and he struggles with listening, following rules and calm body but team (specially shout out to Nicky) has been teaching and guiding him with kind and patient approach. He loves it and he looks forward to his swimming school sessions every week. Today he upgrades from level 1 to 2, we are super excited. Look forward to many years here to enjoy swimming time! Update: it is kinda sad to make this update but the past 6 months we got switched to 4 instructors, it has been a nightmare for my son. He struggled with all these changes - very frequent rotations. I believe the instructors struggled dealing with him too because most of them do not experiences with kids on spectrum or stay with my son long enough to understand where he's at and how to help him improve. This might be cool with kids that don't care about changes, new faces etc. I still think overall Goldfish is a lovely place for kids to have fun but no longer the right place for us unfortunately.
