We have been coming to Goldfish since our daughter was 4 months old and have been so impressed ever since! It is truly something we all look forward to every week and seeing our daughter swim and play in the water is priceless. The staff is so welcoming, helpful and engaging with the kids.

As an owner of a children’s fitness center I started off with Goldfish as a business to business partnership and then decided to try it out for my daughter and was blown away! Top Quality is putting it lightly when it comes to Goldfish! My daughter absolutely loves the program, the staff is well trained and very knowledgeable! Emma does an amazing job keeping this place running solid with super flexible schedules and make-ups. Very happy we found this gem and seriously recommend you check them out!

My son has learning disabilities. He could not swim at all after 2 summers worth of lessons at a local camp. He hated to go each day. The instructors adjusted to his issues and he made amazing progress quickly. After 3 months of Goldfish swimming lessons he was jumping off the diving board and swimming confidently back to the sides during our summer vacation. He always looks forward to his next lesson.

Definitely 5 stars for this location!! I moved to the western suburbs 2 years ago, when my daughter was 1 year old. Before coming here, we tried two other swim schools — Goldfish in Naperville and Big Blue in Naperville. Neither of them was good. The main reason is that the teachers there felt like zombies… no smiles, no energy, not even real activities. They just left parents to do whatever they could with their babies. This is the third swim school we tried, and it’s amazing! The teachers are super friendly and very engaged with the babies. There are lots of fun activities like water slides, boating, and more. Big thanks to Mr. David, who helped my daughter smoothly transition from parent–child lessons to independent lessons with teachers. And not just Mr. David — shout out to Miss Lincy, Miss Gabriella, and Miss Gracen as well! They are all so encouraging and friendly with my daughter. She is always excited for her swimming lessons here and keeps saying, “I want to go swim again!”

I'm not a guy who leaves a lot of reviews...but the smile on my daughter's face as she learns to swim says it all. It has been a miserable winter but Sunday mornings are spent at Goldfish. The program is fantastic. The instructors are amazing with building my six year old's confidence and they move along the learning path with patience that works! Overall, this place runs like a machine. The program sets out a learning agenda with achievable milestones for the swimmers. The staff get the swimmers in and out of the pool so there is no wasted time messing around on the pool deck. There are many post-lesson showers and changing rooms so the drying cycle turnaround is at a minimum. This facility also has hair dryers and - get this - bathing suit dryers! - so in this miserable weather, our daughters is warm and dry before we get in the car to go home. I wish I learned to swim like this!
