Testimonials

My child has completed all the levels at Goldfish, from the very first stage to the final one, over the past three years. The instructors were incredibly kind, great with kids, and played a huge role in helping my child learn to swim. Thank you so much for everything, Goldfish!

I have a 4 year old and 2 year old in separate classes here and I have been so impressed by the staff’s enthusiasm and professionalism. Gideon is an awesome and enthusiastic teacher and both my kids feed off of his joy - they are growing tremendously in 1.5 months of classes. Serena is always upbeat and very kind in helping my 2 yr old focus and obey pool safety rules (quite a feat). Tommy stepped in as a great substitute when teachers were transitioning…and when my daughter graduated to the next level, the whole team made it a big deal and congratulated her by name. It’s an environment where I feel my kids are learning and having fun with people I now trust.

We have had a wonderful experience with Goldfish Swim School! Our 4-year-old loves the water but has resisted taking lessons. We have tried lessons in several places and have not had any luck with him acclimating. We had heard great things about Goldfish, and I told them I just wanted a trial class in case our son refused to participate. To our surprise, he loved the setting and has never resisted going to a swim lesson. He has been with Goldfish for a couple of months, and we could not be more thrilled with his progress! Thank you, Goldfish Swim School!

My daughters started with Goldfish in March 2022- neither was able to swim independently when they began Glider 1- they progressed through the levels at different speeds but both have now been in Swim Force (the most advanced level offered) for some time- we have been reluctant to leave Goldfish because we have been so pleased with the instruction and have felt our daughters continued to benefit from each class. All of the instructors have been kind and careful with the kids, the girls have especially enjoyed their time with Serena (as well as a previous instructor Chelsea - apologies for any misspelling of names). We're leaving Goldfish so as to make room for other kids in Swim Force but we will truly miss the classes. I did a lot of searching before we settled on this swim program and I believe it's one of the best around. I would highly recommend Goldfish Falls Church to any family seeking swim classes - stick with it through Swim Force if possible- it's worth the wait!

We enrolled our 3 year old grandson in the five-day jump start swim program and his progression from day one to day five was phenomenal! He would not even put his chin in the water when he started. HIs instructor, Jefferson, got him underwater and liking it! Jefferson was able to make him feel comfortable in the water and got him started floating, rolling and working on pulls and kicks. My grandson is still in weekly classes and continues to make progress. Thank you, Jefferson - you gave him a great start!

Our family loves everything about Goldfish Swim School. The facility is great. The desk staff are great. Our son's many instructors over the past 7 months have been supportive, kind, and effective. And over these 7 months, our son has gone from fearful and anxious around water to being a confident happy swimmer, having advanced from Glider 1 to Glider 2, Glider 3 and is now refining his new skills in Pro 1. What more could we ask for? We're thrilled with his progress. Thank you Goldfish Swim School!
