Testimonials

My son looks forward to his swimming lessons at Goldfish every Friday! The instructors are fantastic—friendly, patient, and genuinely great with kids. It's clear they create a fun and safe environment for learning. What I also truly appreciate is how flexible their system is—cancelling a lesson is hassle-free, and the make-up tokens are such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommended!!

We love it here! My kids look forward to their weekly lessons and have learned so much in a short amount of time. It’s a beautiful environment with such friendly and knowledgeable staff and the instructors are amazing and so good with kids. They have such a great setup with showers right at the pool area for easy rinse-off after lessons and they have lots of changing rooms to use. My kids love that they even have a hair dryer station and swim suit dryers. There’s plenty of parking and the location is great, with lots of shops and restaurants right nearby. We definitely recommend!

Very kid friendly and affordable programs. My daughter is taking a Jump Start program this week and she has gone from being terrified of going to swim lessons to being excited that she will be able to learn how to swim. I spoke with her teacher about what she is still anxious about and they listened and made some adjustments. We are going to sign up for weekly lessons to continue the progress. The shift leaders and teachers are very friendly and attentive. The student to teacher ratio is great. You can tell the teachers love what they are doing. The facility is very kid friendly, it has a water park vibe, the pool is shallow even for lane swimming and they have short lanes which I love I also loved that they had a large float and presence at the Providence Pride parade - my daughter already was familiar with the cute goldfish and had a positive experience of getting a toy goldfish at the parade. I wanted to mention this because I know it can be hard to know if community building activities have an impact on your business. I appreciated it and it led me to try out Goldfish which is working better, is more convenient, and is much less intimidating for someone terrified of swimming lessons than private lessons at a large pool.

Took my 3yo daughter to her first class on friday night around 7pm. She is a hand full to say the least. always trying to touch things, and play with all the different items in the pool. she was just curious and wanted to gogogogogo. The staff at Goldfish handled her better than id have ever expected. They treated her with care and understanding. Natalie and Geo were so nice to her. they sat with her the whole time so she was safe. she had a blast! cant wait to go for her second class on friday. Thank you to all the caring lifeguards and staff!!! A+++++

Goldfish swimming school is a great place for kids to go swimming, but they do need more fun. Like practicing how to do handstands in the water, doing back flips in the water. or even learn how to swim like a mermaid. i really think it would be really fun to learn!
