Our favorite thing about goldfish is the associates who work there. Riley is my sons teacher. We love Riley! We love the fun learning atmosphere. I have referred several people because this is such a great place to learn to love swimming. We also really enjoy that everything is so functional while also being pleasing to the eye. The dressing rooms are cute. The whole facility is always immaculate. I enjoy that they have the little store so I can purchase goggles and swim caps. My son and I also love the swimsuit spinner. He loves making it work and I love that I dont have to take a sopping wet suit home. I think this is a great venue with a great staff that does an excellent job!

This place is great!I am amazed with the progress my daughter has made in just 3 classes. The facility is beautiful and the staff is incredibly friendly. I am recommending Goldfish to everyone that I know.

My son has become a fish in the water since attending Goldfish. My son is 10 months old and he started when he was 7 months. He loves being there and always has a smile on his face. Our instructor Jo is amazing. We have went to other classes for a make up day and Jo is by far the best. She has a great personality and you can tell she really enjoys her job and being around the babies. She is hands on too. If I am doing something the wrong way she comes over and helps us. I can’t say enough about her!

My daughter started Junior 1 classes in July. It’s now October, and I feel like she’s just been doing the same exact thing over and over for the past 2 months. Was hoping she would be moved up to junior 2 by the time her classes ended this month, but I don’t know, we’ll see. Another thing is the change in instructors. She’s had 4 since she started. I understand it’s because of school/work changes, but it’s hard to have a bond with a child/children if the instructors are changing so often. It’s also hard to pick up where they left off, which probably explains why my daughter’s been doing the same thing for months. Other than that, the staff is amazing. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and always great you at the door.

They were great with my son. He was so scared and now he is starting to do more activities during each class. They are really great with children.

We tried a different place for swimming lessons and my son was not happy. He has loved Goldfish and asks every day when he is going swimming. My son has autism and Goldfish has made the transitioning easy for him. He is actually understanding and getting it. And the instructors are amazing and so great with the kids. My boy really adores Instructor Riley as well.

Eyes are always on the students in the pool area. The lifeguards in and out of the pool make sure the kids are safe and are following safety rules... You couldnt find a better staff... friendly, courteous, and knowledgable.

Love GoldFish Swim School! My son started at just 6 months old, and every time we go to a lesson, he learns something new and has sooooo much fun!

First time taking my children to goldfish. They wasn’t very friendly i did not know where to go or what to do. No communication with new families Or no tour. Did not like that there were one teacher to 3 students taking away from the other children swim lessons also finished 5mins early. Will try it again but if I still feel unwelcome I’ll go somewhere else

The swim teachers here are super kid friendly. My daughter looks forward to her swim lesson every week. They are very covid- conscious and take several precautions.

I have already referred multiple people and we have had one friend even sign up after doing a trial! We have so much fun! The class lengths are perfect it’s enough time for fun but we end before anyone ever gets upset. We love that our little one is learning swim safety (and thriving at lessons too!) through play. Our ten month old pulls herself out of the pool unassisted and is beginning to float on her back on her own. The instructors are great too! Not only do we look forward to our weekly lessons now, we look forward to our future and growth in this extremely friendly and exciting environment!

Great place to bring your child to learn to swim...there is a low teacher to student ratio and they get plenty of individualized attention

Friendly staff fun for kids love the pool great during the winter since it’s heated so it gives u a great beach feeling no matter the weather outside but most importantly they actually learn how to swim! Family swim is good also to unwind with the family as well! Thank u goldfish!

We really enjoy coming here. The staff is always amazing and friendly. The water is warm perfect for kids. We came here with our 9 month old and he enjoyed it. Especially the play time after lessons. Covid precautions are being taken and we appreciate the efforts.

My 10 month old son loves his swim lessons at Goldfish! All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. The inside of the building is nothing short of boring- there are murals of sea animals, a tiki themed lobby, and a fish tank that all of the kids admire. Although we are currently in a pandemic I do not have to worry when I walk into Goldfish. They ensure everyone wears a mask and stays socially distant. They also sanitize the changing rooms between every use which I really appreciate because no matter how cute your kid is- they’re all germ monsters. The instructors wear face shields and all items are sanitized between lessons. The classes are very organized, fun, and interactive. It’s reassuring as a parent to know my child is learning necessary water safety skills. We have only been attending for a couple months but the progress my 10 month old has already made is incredible! My husband and I highly recommend Goldfish Swim School!
