I chose this place to start swimming classes for my 4-month-old son. The first class was free, which I appreciated because it allowed me to see if my son enjoyed the activity. The receptionist and the instructor were both wonderful, which made our decision to sign him up even easier. We’ve been coming here for two months now, and we absolutely love it. The facilities are clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The price is reasonable, so I highly recommend it.

My grandson is doing great in his classes. Over all I am pleased with the teachers at this swimming class. Very understanding to the many children's they work with. Keep up the good work with the swimming lessons

Goldfish Cary is the BEST swim school - every swim teacher is encouraging, kind, and spends quality time teaching your child. When we began lessons, our son could not yet swim independently; after many months, he is now a confident, safe swimmer who can even do a variety of strokes (and even a flip turn!). The teachers are phenomenal, the pool and facilities are clean, and it’s truly been a wonderful experience for our family!

We have loved our experience at Goldfish swim school. Our boys, ages 5 and 3 have thrived with the amazing swim instructors they have had. We have especially been impressed with Sarah H., Mike, Jed, Shane, and Shelly, but there are others who are great too. The instructors take the time to care for each child’s individual needs so that they feel comfortable and enjoy their lessons. The lifeguards are really attentive too, which makes me, as the parent, feel more at ease. The swim school itself is also nice and well organized. I am so glad I chose Goldfish Swim School for my kids and would recommend it to anyone I know.

My daughter looks forward to swim each week. She often asks if she can “do to” as in back-to-back sessions. We try to do this when we have a make up available and goldfish has the space. I love that she has developed a love of water while also learning water safety. Swim is her favorite weekly activity. I also love how interactive her instructors are and how she stays engaged. Highly recommend!
