Testimonials

Leaving another review to: 1. Express our gratitude to our awesome swim instructors here at Goldfish. Isiah & Sophia are the two we’ve worked with the most. We think the world of them and all other staff we’ve had the pleasure of meeting over the last year. & 2. Express how thankful we are that we started, how far we’ve come, and how impactful these classes are/can be. We started when our baby Finn was 4 months old. We live on the lake and starting him asap was very important to us. He started within a week of their age requirement. He’s now 15 months. He loves every second of it and has since day one. He’s driven and has a very determined personality- with that being said, he’s been all about “dunking” and learning to hold his breath. As of now, he can hold it 7-10 seconds. This past week, we visited FL for vacation. Finn absolutely loved the ocean. We had been in the water for quite some time when all of the sudden, the waves shifted and things changed quickly. Waves were crashing over me. Finn was securely in his Mambobaby float that I was holding on to, like we had been off and on, for hours. The safety strap snapped and Finn was ejected up and into the air, ultimately landing about 5 ft from me, tossed into the waves. As we were ripped apart, I was finally able to get to him. As I pulled him from the water, he had been holding his breath, completely unbothered and unaware of just how terrifying and tragic that could have been. We take water safety seriously. We respect the water. Things went from calm to crazy very quickly, in an area we had spent hours in, where I could touch. It didn’t matter that we had some expensive float with safety straps, unable to pop, etc., with overall good ratings. The strap snapped, we got ripped apart, tossed in the waves. I firmly believe these weekly lessons played a big role in helping. He’s familiar with water. He has learned and still learning breath work and getting more and more familiar with going under, and he stayed calm. Guardian angels & swim lessons. Get your babies in lessons. It’s worth it and so much fun. My husband loves their quality time swimming each week. We love it here and will continue to come as long as he’s able to!!!

Wonderful experience! First swim lesson and the two instructors where amazing with my 5 year old. They were kind, patient, and challenged my daughter. 10 minutes in and she was putting her face under water! She's never wanted to do that. My daughter felt comfortable and safe. we look forward to the next lesson and continuing to learn to swim!

We've been at Goldfish for about 18 months now and we couldn't be happier. We started Mini classes with her right after she turned 2, and she has learned so much and come such a long way with her swimming and her confidence in the water. She's had several different instructors as she's leveled up and they've all done a wonderful job with her. She takes a while to warm up to people, but she genuinely enjoys the staff. The staff are wonderful and go out of their way to make sure both students and parents are comfortable with instructor pairings and how the lessons are going.
