Testimonials

My kids both loved goldfish. My son was hesitant at first about putting his face and head in the water. They worked with him at his level and the growth for both of them was amazing! The jumpstart classes help boost skills fast. Entire staff is friendly and helpful!

THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD! My children (5 & 3) have been attending since they were babies. Every single staff member—front desk, lifeguards, swim instructors, managers, owner—has been kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. The kid and parent experience is sublime from the moment you walk in. Each staff member goes above and beyond to make your swimmer feel welcome, confident, and as if they belong. With only four or fewer kids per class, teachers are able to deliver differentiated, engaging, developmentally appropriate, and perfectly rigorous lessons. Instructors clearly communicate what your child is working on (or you can check the portal for clear skill progress reports). Instructors demonstrate skills and know just what to say and do to fine tune each ability, but they also have the instinct and compassion to call out for a tissue box and gently wipe your toddler’s nose should they get water up it. 😅 I’ve been AMAZED by the progress my children have made under their highly skilled guidance and watching my kids go is the highlight of my week! They have a flexible cancellation policy and tons of open spots for makeup classes, which means kids do not attend sick and spread pathogens! You can accumulate 12 makeup tokens and have a year to use them, and we’ve had zero trouble finding open spots. This is a HEAVENLY policy that shows understanding of our chaotic lives and regard for public health! The water is SO warm, the facilities are clean, there is ample space in the parent viewing area, the shower rooms allow for spacious privacy, and even the row of showers in the swimming area has shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. If you forget your goggles as I've been known to do, the staff will happily let you borrow a clean pair! Teacher Lauren is the beating heart of the place—though we have not had the pleasure of being in her classes, she knows my kids’ names and abilities, makes them feel special just for being there, and hasn’t met a challenge she can’t work through. The manager Laura’s attention to detail is immaculate—she asked us about a trip we had mentioned weeks before. Teacher Justin made both of my hesitant, timid children feel comfortable and confident with his humor, enthusiasm, fast paced instruction, and stunning understanding of kids! Teacher Jenn is amazing--she will take one look at your swimmer and know just what to do to get them to the next level and how you can support them at home. Teacher Asher is empathetic, kind, and goes above and beyond to make sure each kid in his care feels confident to achieve their next goal. I could gush for an eternity; there is not a single staff member we haven’t loved. I sing the praises of Goldfish Swim School to everyone I know! If you’re going to take your child to ONE activity, it should be this one!

We’ve had two kids progress very well with the help of Goldfish Swim. We’ve been going to the same location for 4 years - the communication is great, the staff is friendly, and the kids really enjoy it. Highly recommend.

Right while walking in I am met with a nice smile from the front desk such polite and respectful people. And my son Mikhael was almost trapped in Glider 1 for almost little over 2 years until he joined with Loujain A she helped him pass and he extremely enjoyed swimming with her and he has been cruising through the levels since. Thank you Goldfish and, thank you Loujain

I am so glad to have started classes at Goldfish Swim School. From making my very first appointment to attending classes each week, the staff is always very welcoming and friendly. My son has become so comfortable in the water and really enjoys swimming and bath time now! I also enjoy getting out and doing the class with him as well as having family come to watch us at the lesson.
