My kids have been coming here for years (from the Mommy + Me days to Swim Force now!) I can’t say enough good things about this facility, they’ve become a second home to us. From the moment you walk in the door and sign in, to the poolside greeting with their instructors and ample life guards, to the office team Erica and Britney - I am consistently impressed and refer all of our friends and family to Goldfish Swim School. My kids’ wins are their wins. One of my kids has autism (and was non verbal until age 5) who’s grown up here and originally hated water (he cried every time I even tried to wash his hair) They have been SO patient with him from day 1 and moved at his pace, warning his trust and making sure he felt comfortable. His confidence now is through the roof - he actually competes in the butterfly 50m races!!! My daughter has also been coming here since she was about 6 months old and recently made the Swim Force which is just amazing to watch her grow and learn and build that water confidence. These classes literally saved my son’s life very early on (the very first skills of “chin up, tummy up, on your back” songs kicked in on a family vacation when he silently slipped through a swim ring at a resort pool right in front of us). My goal when I enrolled them was just to learn water safety - but what we’ve gained here are lifelong friendships, life saving skills and confidence that spills over into other arenas of their life. Love love love Goldfish Swim School!!!! 5 stars

Our non verbal ASD child loves the water, so it was imperative we find swim lessons that could cater to his unique needs. Goldfish’s welcoming and knowledgeable staff has provided our child with an engaging, fun, and safe environment to grow.

We’ve had an absolutely wonderful experience at Goldfish Swim School! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome, supported, and confident in our children’s swimming journey. A huge shoutout to Erica and Brittany, who have gone above and beyond in every way. Erica’s warm energy and genuine care for each family make a huge difference—she’s always ready with a smile, a kind word, and helpful guidance. Brittany is equally amazing; her attentiveness and professionalism ensure that everything runs smoothly, and her positive attitude is contagious. You can tell they both truly care about the kids and their progress. The instructors are patient, skilled, and incredibly encouraging. We’ve seen consistent improvement in our child’s comfort and ability in the water, and most importantly, they look forward to every lesson. The facility is clean, bright, and thoughtfully designed with families in mind. It’s clear that Goldfish Swim School prioritizes safety, learning, and fun all at once. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a high-quality swim program led by people who truly love what they do. Thank you, Erica, Brittany

I’ve had a wonderful experience with Goldfish Swim School in Pembroke Pines. We started when my daughter was just 1 year old, and she still looks forward to her classes every week. Her progress has been incredible—she’s been comfortable in the water from the start, and her confidence keeps growing. We’ve been lucky to have amazing instructors throughout the years, and recently, Mia and Sidney have truly stood out. They are such enthusiastic cheerleaders for my daughter and make each class fun and encouraging. I also want to recognize Erica and Britney at the front desk—they are absolute superstars! Always welcoming, helpful, and professional, they consistently go above and beyond with a smile. Employees like them are a rare find these days, and they make a big difference in the overall experience. Thank you, Goldfish Pembroke Pines, for creating such a positive and supportive environment for our little swimmers!

LOVE THIS PLACE! They care and everyone is so nice, feels like family. Front desk to coaches to owners are so kind and happy. The place is clean and they are constantly keeping up with the place. They always accommodate if we show up or my daughter he was instructor isn’t there to give her somewhere she will work well with. The plus is that it’s 1/2 salt water - better for the kids.
