Testimonials

My kids LOVE Goldfish Swim School! Before starting here, my daughter was afraid to go in the water & now she’s practicing her kicks in the bathtub at home! They’re incredibly patient with the kids and do a great job at teaching water safety in a really fun way.

Wonderful place to introduce your baby to swimming! Clean and very friendly staff. Water is perfect temperature. I only wish they had more availability during the week for babies

Granddaughter's birthday party. Pool was warm, amenities were great; hair dryers, private changing rooms. Staff were nice and very helpful. There were no other guests allowed during our time which was nice.

We absolutely LOVE Goldfish Swim School in Hamden! My children, 4 and 7, love going to swim lessons and have showed so much progress. The teachers are kind, patient, and professional. If you ever have a question or a concern, management is on-site and easy to talk to! We have participated in lessons, family swim, and a birthday party and everything has been top-notch. The facility is clean and kid-friendly. They offer packages, makeup classes, small class sizes, a wide variety of convenient class times and many extras that are so fun for kids! Thanks to Goldfish Swim my kids are more comfortable and confident in the water!

My son has been going to Goldfish swim school in Hamden since he was 4 months old- he’s 18 months now and just moved up to the next class. The instructors have always been very patient and kind and do an amazing job getting kids comfortable in the water! I love that they have flexible class days/times and I can go in the pool with him!

My daughter has been swimming here for the last 13 months, starting when she was only 7 months old! The availability of classes is fabulous- 7 days a week, multiple times a day are options. The school has a community feel and many instructors and staff members know my daughter by name and get excited when she is on their roster. Our favorite teacher is Ms. Megan who has not only advanced my toddlers swim skills but helped her come out of her shell socially as well. Whenever someone seeks a swim school, I always recommend Goldfish!

Good school, great staff! Appreciate the amenities. Only productive piece of advice is to not take away time from other student when/if one child is taking time to come in the water. Half hour divided by 3-4 student is not enough and if the teacher is trying to get them in its not fair. Maybe have another staff work on them. Also. Please if the kids have runny nose pleaseeee have them wipe, it was not done today in class for one of the students :)
