Everything about Goldfish Swim School is great! All of the instructors are fantastic! They really focus on the kids and help them feel comfortable in the water. My granddaughter is learning the skills quickly. Perfect environment for the kids, bright, friendly and colorful wall paintings. Very reasonably priced also.

Goldfish Swim School has been amazing for my two daughters! The instructors are patient and encouraging, the facility is clean and welcoming, and the small class sizes ensure personalized attention. My girls have made incredible progress and truly love their lessons. Highly recommend! There have been time when my daughters don't want to swim and have gone above and beyond to make them comfortable with getting in. Sometimes doing one off sessions as well!

I’m thrilled with the progress my 2.5-year-old daughter has made at Goldfish Swim School in Eagan. She was initially terrified of the water, but thanks to the patient and encouraging instructors, she’s now happily splashing, playing, and even dipping her face in. The supportive environment and small class sizes have really helped build her confidence. I’m excited to watch her continue to grow, and I can’t wait for her to experience more advanced classes as she becomes more comfortable in the water. Highly recommend Goldfish Swim to anyone looking to help their little one overcome their fear of swimming or learn the basics prior to going swimming elsewhere.

We've been at this place for three years, and honestly, I've seen little progress with my son. He’s often in a group with three other kids, which limits the time he gets to swim. It feels like we're just wasting our time and money. However, we recently started at Foss Swimming School two weeks ago, and the difference has been amazing! My son is getting more one-on-one swimming time and showing marked improvement. It's been a refreshing change! I do not recommend checking another place before you sign up here.

Amazing Experience at Goldfish Swim School in Eagan! We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Goldfish Swim School in Eagan! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and excited to start our swimming journey. The facility is clean, warm, and thoughtfully designed with kids in mind—from the colorful decor to the cozy viewing area for parents. The instructors are truly exceptional. They’re patient, skilled, and fantastic at building confidence in young swimmers. My kids, were both a little nervous at first, but their teachers quickly put them at ease with their friendly approach and engaging lessons. Now they can’t wait for swim class each week! What sets Goldfish apart is their focus on safety and fun. The small class sizes ensure plenty of one-on-one attention, and the curriculum balances essential water safety skills with activities that keep kids smiling and excited to learn. The progress tracking system and occasional achievement ribbons are great motivators, and they celebrate every milestone, big or small. We’ve also been impressed by the flexibility of scheduling and the outstanding communication from the staff. They truly go above and beyond to accommodate busy families. If you’re looking for a swim school that prioritizes your child’s safety, skill development, and joy in the water, Goldfish Swim School in Eagan is the place to go.
