HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We went to a few swim schools and extremely disappointed but Goldfish made up for all of it. They treat your child as an individual. The other schools are like machines going through the steps but here you can see the difference! Even if you switch instructors the new instructors are updated and ready for your child's swim level. They are accommodate if you have a change in schedule and with two swimmers being able to come in the same time is so convient. They made it happen. Staff is always friends and inviting. Facility is clean and environment is inviting. My kids have developed skills quickly and safely. I can not say enough about Goldfish swim school but I think my 4 yr old daughter speaks more then I could. We went to Great wolf lodge and she was swimming in the pool, parents said your very good swimmer. She says thank you the Goldfish taught me. Lol.

Our 4 year old daughter absolutely loves her lessons at Goldfish! We previously had her enrolled somewhere else, but did not have a good experience. We switched to Goldfish and the difference is night and day! The instructors are all amazing. They interact with the kids in a playful way that gains the trust of the child, which makes the lessons both productive and fun. The customer service is top notch, and every employee we’ve interacted with has been friendly and helpful. We love that we can view the lesson from the window and see her progress. Our daughter’s favorite instructor is Spencer. We can’t say enough great things about him! He is a phenomenal teacher and a natural with kids. He has made her feel confident and excited about swimming! We highly recommend Goldfish Swim School!

We absolutely LOVE goldfish swim school. My daughter’s been going since she was about six months old and it has been incredible to see how much she’s grown to love the water. She recently moved up a class and a new activity initially scared her. Lucy, her teacher in the class, figured out a BRILLIANT way to modify the activity to still learn the skills but to allow my daughter to be fearless. We usually have Lucy or Amber as her teachers and adore them both. Goldfish has been so great in accommodating us too when we have to miss a class or if we have to change a class. The makeup tokens are good for a year so we’ve been able to use them as a great second activity during the week.

We are so glad we brought our daughter here. She is learning so much more each lesson. Highly Recommend Goldfish to anyone. Other swim schools in the area don’t compare and you will end up wasting your money. Just do yourself a favor and bring your children here so they actually learn how to swim.

Far superior to other experiences in the area. The lesson quality is great and flexibility is exactly what a busy family needs! My kids have progressed well and excelled not just in their skill but their confidence, while having fun too. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. So glad we found Goldfish!
