We are only into week 2 and I’m beyond impressed. The staff are attentive and I’ve watched them calmly soothe nervous new swimmers. There are so many eyes on the pool at all times and a very specific curriculum being followed. My daughter has been terrified of putting her head under water and in the first 10 minutes in week 2 she let them do a quick full body dip! Worth every penny for her future and safety!!!

We’ve only been with Goldfish Swim School for 3 weeks, but we’re already so impressed. Our son has grown so much in confidence and skill in such a short time. The staff are truly amazing always friendly, encouraging, and ready to help. They create a fun and safe environment that makes learning to swim something our child looks forward to every week. We’re so happy to be part of the Goldfish family!

Before we started here at Goldfish my son was doing swimming lessons through community ed. He has learned so many new skills and has picked up on them very quickly. We love the swim teachers here as they are very encouraging and positive about helping my son improve. I would most definitely recommend it here if you are trying to figure out where to enroll your child for swimming.

We've been attending Goldfish Swim School in Lakeville for just about 2 months, and so far, we absolutely LOVE it! Our children are making incredible progress, even faster than at other swim schools in the Twin Cities area. One of the standout features we appreciate is that the kids can move up to the next level when they're ready, rather than waiting for a class to end. This personalized approach has really helped our children grow and build confidence in the water. The facility and location are adorable, and my kids especially enjoy saying hi to the goldfish and playing with the train toy before class. It's such a warm, CLEAN, and welcoming environment for families. We also love that the focus is on water safety, not just advancing through levels. The ribbons they hand out are a delightful bonus; my kids get so excited when they receive one as recognition for their achievements in class. Another big plus is the viewing area, which is separate from the pool. It's so much more comfortable for parents and kids alike, as it's not as hot or noisy. We really appreciate being able to relax and watch the lessons without the added discomfort of the pool area. It is fantastic that our child could start Mini classes (without a parent) before turning 3, as he was ready for that next step. This flexibility in offering age-appropriate classes has been a huge benefit for us. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience at Goldfish Swim School in Lakeville. Highly recommend!

I don’t like one of my baby’s instructors, and I wanted to drop a class. However, dropping a class requires a 30-day notice—which is great for protecting their business from financial loss. But what about the comfort of the parents and the babies? Now we’re stuck here, getting weird looks. I shouldn’t be obligated to continue a service I no longer want. This is a service, not a home rental.
