What are people saying (AI review summary)? Goldfish Swim School Wyckoff garners overwhelmingly positive reviews, with customers consistently praising its highly effective curriculum for teaching water safety, building confidence, and developing strong swimming skills across all age groups, from infants to older children. Reviewers frequently commend the exceptional quality, consistency, and high retention of the patient, knowledgeable, and caring instructors who make lessons engaging and fun. The facility is consistently described as spotless, well-maintained, inviting, and cheerful, featuring warm pools and a pleasant tropical theme.

We love being part of the Goldfish Swim School community! Our first experience was in 2019 enrolling my little one in mini 1 lessons. I loved the parent & me style class. It has been wonderful seeing my children's swim skills grow as they do and the focus Goldfish Swim School has on water safety is so crucial. Their instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, our little ones look forward to their swim lessons each week so much! Thank you to Goldfish Swim School Wyckoff for creating a welcoming, enriching community for local families. We are so grateful for all you do and continue to do to help our little ones be the safest they can be in the water!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Both of my daughters are enrolled at Goldfish Swim School Wyckoff, and we couldn’t be happier! My now 4-year-old has been swimming here since she was 6 months old, and she can now swim the full length of the pool all by herself. The consistency and quality of the instructors have been amazing — they really know how to build confidence step by step. My 11-month-old started at 4 months old and I already see weekly improvement. She smiles the second we walk in because she knows it’s time to swim. The 90-degree pool is always warm and inviting, the facility is spotless, and the staff truly feel like family. What I love most is the retention of instructors — kids get familiar with the same teachers and it creates such a comfortable environment. Having been a lifeguard and swim instructor myself at a YMCA/YWCA, I can honestly say their curriculum and approach are top notch. If you’re looking for a place that teaches water safety, builds real skills, and makes swimming fun, this is the school to choose! Highly recommend.

We absolutely love Goldfish Swim School in Wyckoff! My twins look forward to their swim lessons every week—they have so much fun while learning important water safety skills. The tropical theme throughout the facility makes it feel like a little vacation every time we walk in. It’s bright, cheerful, and incredibly inviting! The staff and swim instructors are beyond wonderful—always welcoming, patient, and genuinely great with kids. It’s clear they love what they do, and that positive energy makes such a difference. The facility is also extremely clean and well-organized, which I really appreciate as a parent. From the warm pool to the colorful decor and amazing team, Goldfish Swim School has created a fantastic environment that keeps my kids excited and engaged. Highly recommend!

Swimming at Goldfish Wyckoff has been such a special experience for our family. I absolutely love coming here every week to swim with my daughter — it’s become a fun and meaningful routine we both look forward to. What makes it even better is that while I’m in the water, I can still see my other daughter swimming in her own class, which gives me such peace of mind and makes the whole experience feel even more connected. The staff is always incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming. They make every visit feel personal and enjoyable. The facility is also consistently clean, well-maintained, and inviting — which is so important when you’re spending time at a swim school. Goldfish Wyckoff has truly made learning to swim a joyful part of our week!

I have been a loyal customer of goldfish for 5 years as I enrolled my two sons through all the levels from mini 1 to Pro2. We would enrolled again this year if they hadn't make a major change to their policies which is a dealbreaker for us. When a child can not attend a class, the account is credited a token. Before the token were valid for a year, but now they are just valid for 30 days after the enrollment ends. Which means that the only way to use the tokens is to come twice a week, which is not possible as we live a bit far from Wyckoff and my kids agenda is jam packed. So for 5 years I would have rated Goldfish 5 stars, because the facility and instructors are top notch but the change in policy is bad for me, I would lose about 10 tokens per year (or 400 dollars). I wish they hadn't made that change.
