If you're looking for an awesome place to teach your toddlers / young kids to swim, look no further! Goldfish has become family. We've had our 6 year old with them since she was 3 and she not only can swim well, but they're teaching her flip turns and butterfly! My son is 3.5 and has been with them since he was a baby and is getting more comfortable in the water everyday. Erin and Jamie the managers are WONDERFUL - they work with you and your child to get them to where they need to be. And the staff overall is amazing! We've loved every teacher. I'm dreading the day my 6 year old outgrows lessons and swim team - Goldfish swim is our family's favorite activity of the week!

Goldfish started as a place for us to get some swim lessons for our young child since we loved in a neighborhood with a pool. While it certainly did that in his younger years, as time passed Goldfish became a great place for him to develop athletic prowess and an enjoyment of the sport of swimming. It’s also an asset to Steele Creek (where seemingly every neighborhood has a pool) as a place where kids can learn how to swim instead of the old tried but certainly not true, sink or swim method. Jamie, Erin and their crew are also great with kids and want to see them succeed in the water.

We've been so pleased with Goldfish. This was our first time with this style of swim lessons and for our (at times) stubborn 3 year old, he has loved it! They keep the kids moving frequently so they don't sit for too long and I feel very age appropriate for what they learn. Our kiddo loves to swim and his confidence has skyrocketed since beginning here.

We absolutely love Golfish swim school and recommend it to anyone looking for swim lessons. My daughter has been going for a little over a year now and moved up twice, she’s absolutely in love with the lessons, learning new skills, and being in the water. Thank you Goldfish!
