Huge shoutout to all staff, swim instructors, Kourtney, and Liz. When I brought my daughter in the intention was to give it a try and to get her involved in extracurricular activities. She can’t join much due to her learning and speech delay, so finding any activity was difficult. Swimming is her absolute favorite which is why I decided to bring her in. First day my kiddo was scared to try swimming without any floaties, huge meltdown, the whole show and all. Ava, the swim instructor, was really understanding of my kiddos learning delays and extremely patient. With tons of encouragement from other swim instructors, staff, including the life guard she was fine towards the end of the trial. Ultimately we decided to enroll her for a month and see where this goes. Second session was a day and night difference. My kiddo was so excited, 3rd session in so far and my girl Ellie has applied patience and listening skills she has learned during her sessions out of swim class. Bringing her in has given her more confidence to try more things. I am proud of her and all staff included for helping my kiddo become more confident and for teaching her to be safe while enjoying one of her favorite pass times. (Not many photos out of respect of other families and minors) In addition to the awesome staff and support, they have the following which is extremely helpful as well! -Heated pool and deck (where rinse stations are located) -Rinse stations -Restrooms -Changing rooms -Hair dry station -Wring machine for clothes (one of my favs) -Play station for siblings not participating in swim class -Small merch store with swim necessities if you forget stuff at home, also snacks and refreshments.

Absolutely love Goldfish Swim School. The mini class teachers (especially Brooklyn and Madelyn) are excellent with babies. I have learned a lot as a parent and my baby seems to love the water more each week, thanks to the consistent structure and welcoming atmosphere. There’s no playing with fear, learning here is all fun and safety based.

We’ve had such a great experience with Goldfish Swim School Ahwatukee! Our 2-year-old has been attending for the past 8 months, and the growth we’ve seen in his comfort and confidence in the water has been incredible. One of the things we love most is the flexibility of class times; it makes it so much easier to fit lessons into a busy family schedule. The small class sizes are also a huge plus. It’s the perfect balance of social interaction with other kids while still getting individualized attention from the instructors. The facility itself is fantastic. The indoor, heated pool makes year-round swimming easy and comfortable, and the family-sized changing rooms are so convenient with a toddler. They’ve also created a really welcoming environment with little touches to keep kids entertained while waiting for their lesson. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience and would absolutely recommend Goldfish Swim School Ahwatukee to other families looking for a fun, safe, and supportive place for their kids to learn how to swim!

Our kids have now gone through multiple sessions at this Goldfish location, both spread out across a season as well as more intensive with as many as four classes per week. We’ve seen growth both with their confidence in the water, as well as in their excitement to be in the water. We will absolutely be signing them up again and look forward to their continued progress. Thanks to the great staff who all make this a wonderful place for kids to learn to swim.
