Testimonials

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Goldfish Swim School in Aliso Viejo! The lessons are well organized, the facility is always clean, and the small class sizes make a huge difference. My child looks forward to every lesson and has made so much progress since starting. It’s clear that they really took the children’s and family’s needs into consideration when designing the place: the pool is warm, there are plenty of changing rooms and showers, a fun waiting area, and snacks on hand too!

I’d like to say Shaun and the team are absolute Angels and overall great people. My son has not taken to swimming. With the lessons he has attended it has been tough. However, Shaun and his team have been patient, flexible and very innovative in trying alternatives to make him feel comfortable. Although we pulled out of his last couple classes, Shaun was understanding and patient. Sadly I cannot remember the other fantastic instructors names. This place is so awesome me and my wife want to have his 3rd birthday party here. To the administrator that reads this, please show Shaun and his team this message. They are the engine that make this train go. I’d highly suggest you give Shaun and his team raises, promotions, bonuses and opportunity to grow within the company. May God bless you all.

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.

I am not sure why yelp deleted my review... I have been extremely happy with the staff and facility. Their coaches are really awesome to work with, specially Izzy. I cannot wait to see my son's growth with goldfish!
