At Goldfish Swim School, we believe that it is never too early or too late to learn how to swim. That’s why our swim lessons are available for children as young as 4 months old, all the way up to 12 years old. We understand that every child is different and has unique learning needs, which is why our curriculum is designed to accommodate children of all abilities. Our experienced instructors know how to work with children of different ages and skill levels to help them develop their water safety and swimming skills.
As parents ourselves, we understand the importance of ensuring our children’s safety in and around water. That’s why we have carefully crafted our curriculum with the help of child development experts and experienced swim instructors. We wanted to create a program that not only teaches children how to swim but also equips them with the necessary skills to stay safe in and around water. Our Science of SwimPlay® curriculum was built by parents for parents, providing peace of mind knowing that your child is learning from the best in a way that’s best for their development.
