Everyone at the Arlington Heights location is always very friendly, helpful and with a great smile. They give constant feedback and make sure everyone is safe. Teachers/lifeguards have a positive attitude and are great working with the kids!

My son loves to be there. Amazing place . Warm and clean pool. Only one thing that I don’t like , when you go out from pool it’s very cold while you wear the clothes .

Our daughter has been going here for almost 3 years and is now nearly through their highest tier. Theyve not only taught her to become a great swimmer, but have given her great confidence as well. Tim is one of the best instructors here but there are many that are solid. Thank you, Goldfish! We are fans.

My daughter has been at Goldfish for over 2 years and loves it. She really has developed amazing swimming and treading skills by age 5, which is great since she loves the water. They are also really good about working with kids while said kids adjust to things like fear of water, adapting to new instructors, etc. In the younger years, its not uncommon for kids to take a few lessons to develop trust or comfort with a new person around water, but they are SO patient and nurturing. They also have made adaptations to keep the current physical environment as safe as possible with distancing and other measures, while still providing the benefit of early swim lessons.

The staff is very friendly and patient with my daughter. Their pool area is always nice and warm, we also appreciate the new features that the facility has for the upcoming winter season like hair dryers and the swimsuit spinners! Great quality for the price of membership and I feel like my daughter is excelling in her swimming!

I have two children at Goldfish Swim in Arlington Heights. One of them has special needs and they do an outstanding job with him. Their patience is so greatly appreciated. I would recommend this swim school to all of my friends and family.

Goldfish Arlington Heights took every action they could to keep their swimmers, staff and parents/spectators safe when they reopened this summer. I was on the fence about resuming lessons, but we felt very safe when we did. Thank you!

We have been very impressed with our time at Goldfish (Arlington Heights). My kids have gone from being afraid to swim assisted in the water to learning freestyle, back stroke and now breast stroke. So glad I took the plunge into a professional swim school.

Waste of money. They do not pass your son/daughter to the next level. They are money hungry. They do not follow COVID guidelines, and pack the kids in on the classes without masks.I recommend looking to other schools.

I take my 2yr daughter here for lessons and Its been very good. The staff has done a good job with keeping things as safe as possible with the current and unfortunate pandemic situation.

Highly recommend this place as a swim school for your kid. Ive been very satisfied with the service of all the staff members and general atmosphere of the business. Very professional and caring.

I really appreciate everyone at Goldfish. The staff has done an excellent job accommodating our familys busy schedule. The instructors continue to be supportive and positive through each class. Thank you.

I am someone who believes in providing great customer service and treating customers with respect. Today, I canceled both my boys swim classes after attending this school since they first opened. I have 2 boys, 4 & 6. There is an instructor who has taught both boys. He always begins the lesson splashing with the kids, and becomes frustrated when the kids continue to splash during the lesson. On this occasion he was teaching 6-year-old, but previously taught my 4-year-old. My 4-year-old on this day was with a different instructor. He was having a hard time paying attention and listening, basically being difficult and distracting. As my wife went to get the 6-year-old out of the pool at the end of the lesson, the instructor tells her in a condescending tone that he could tell that they were brothers because he doesn’t listen either as he points to my 4-year-old. My wife was completely horrified and embarrassed as this happened in front of other patents. Anyone with a preschooler knows how challenging they can be at times, but to have a rude teenager call you out in front of other parents is ridiculous.This incident aside it is time to move on from this place. Their program is overly regimented. For a year my 6-year-old struggled with only his back float. Each week they practice, and each week he gets the same feedback all the while never learning new skills, or advancing.I walked away from $100’s of dollars in credits for makeup classes, but in the end, I can’t justify having my boys go back there for 1 more class.

Very good experiences. My kids learn lot swimming. Thanks for talented swim teacher to guide kids for every aspect of swimming. We also appreciated the front desk team who gave us advise, guidance and timely reply on any communication. Thanks again. Best of luck to every teacher for their future career.

Cancelled our membership because the instructor was constantly changing for our son. Completed forms to cancel, they confirmed cancellation, continued to charge our card monthly until we called 5 months later. They didn’t apologize at all.

Mr. Tyler is great. He makes my son feel so comfortable. He’s so gentle & friendly with the kids. I’m very grateful. The school as a whole is excellent. Been a member for 9 months & I have had nothing but such a great experience

Mr. Chris in Arlington Heights is great with my twins. Very fun and energetic! The place is very clean and organized and the water is very warm. Everyone is so friendly and makes the kids feel welcome. They dont want to leave!!!! Thank you!!

Great swim school for my 2 year old! Weve been going there since April and we love it. Now my son will go on by his own and an instructor. I do not worry, he loves going to classes. Everything is clean and neat, cute interior. Friendly instructors and receptionists! Understanding managers! I do recommend this school.

Excellent staff, good communication, clean facility. If you by chance miss a class the school gives a make up class with no limitted dates. I love seeing my son here, he is supper excited when he hears the name Goldfish.

The teachers are excellent with little kids. My son cried and did not want to get into the water for his first lesson. An additional teacher jumped in to help try and get my son comfortable in the water, while the main teacher worked with the other 2 students. She did this for 2 weeks in a row and by his 3rd lesson, he was excited for swim lessons! They are very patient and dedicated to helping little ones learn to swim.

Unsafe environment with zero accountability and zero consistency. Plus, my child learned nothing. And it is definitely not clean. Even my 4 year old comments on how dirty the bathrooms and changing rooms are.EDITED 9/18: Almost a week and still waiting on a manager to call me as stated in your response to me. I am shocked that no one has responded to me, especially after nearly two drowning incidents.

Goldfish has been amazing so far. My kids have learned so much in a very little time. Mr. Chris is always so happy and excited to teach my girls. It’s worth very penny knowing they are having fun and learning to swim at the same time.

After trying the park district swim class, I have nothing but raving reviews of the Goldfish Swim School in Arlington Heights. The facility is clean and the staff is friendly. We love our swim teacher, Mr. Patrick, who is good with kids. I like that the class sizes are small and there are multiple life guards on deck so you feel very safe with your non swimmer being in the water without floatation devices. They teach the students a specific skill set in each class. I highly recommend this place!

We were somewhat sceptical going to goldfish swim school. Our son is 7months old and we were not sure it would be worth the money. It was such a great experience. We left knowing we would become members. It is such an inviting place and the staff are amazing. We were pleasantly surprised. If you are on the fence go to a free class and I can almost guarantee you will sign up.

Great school! All the teachers have been great and are super patient. My son had advanced so quickly with the instructions he receives from his teachers. He loves swim school and is excited to go each week. They really know what they are doing here!

Clean, inclusive and empowering! So thankful to belong to Goldfish Swim School! The deck crew is always organized and they make learning safe and fun for the kids!

The real time for the class is like 20 minutes. The switch of the groups takes up to 5 min and then they will spend last 5 minutes telling you how your child did. Another thing, if your child is already a swimmer, good to know that they always swim across, never along, so it is way too short of a distance to train well.

Friendly staff and great place for kids to learn swimming.

Great place for children to learn how to swim. The staff is always happy and friendly. The swim instructors are great with kids. My child is learning so quickly here. The mood of the facility is amazing too! Goldfish tank, tiki table umbrellas, oh and family swim nights? Perfect!

Classes are always full, so when my kids move from one level to the next I have to wait for weeks before finding a open slot in the next level. I used to go to big blue and wish I stayed there.

Goldfish has been amazing for my 7 year old! They are very flexible with our ever changing schedule! Cant say enough good things!

Amazing team, helped my daughter so much. Plus, she has so much fun!

Parents not required to be at the pool (except for the babies, of course). Parents can view the kids. (Do the coaches mind, at all? I wonder). Immediate feedback after each session. Very clean facility. Awesome Coaches: Ms. Alicia, Mr. Tyler (!!!) and Ms. Nella. I appreciate their enthusiasm and providing motivation to the kids. Thank you!

Excellent instructors, lots of class options, always available and friendly about any needed schedule changes. Both of my sons went from being afraid to even get in the water to being strong swimmers in less than a year!

Mr. Tyler is the best! Kiddo feels so comfortable. 3.5 and swimming above and below water a decent distance. Facility clean and easy to use.

Great swimming school! I take my son there once a week. Instructors are amazing, I feel very safe bringing my son to this environment. Clean, safe, professional, familiar environment! 5 stars

SWIM INSTRUCTORS AND THE OVERALL STUFF ARE FANTASTIC THEY ARE ALWAYS VERY FRIENDLY, HAPPY AND WILLING TO HELP AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. INSTRUCTORS ARE VERY FRIENDLY, NICE AND CARING ! THE CLASSES ARE THE PERFECT SIZE AND VERY FUN FOR THE KIDS !

My two boys smile ear to ear for the entirety of each lesson. The front desk staff have been knowledgeable and friendly. The swim instructors are focused and promote a fun learning experience. So far - we love it!

We love Mr. Israel and the growth we have seen in our kiddos since starting at Goldfish! I love how they are learning real-life swimming skills so they can be safe (and have fun) in the water!

Awesome instructors! Front staff and management pleasant and accommodating! Wonderful facilities, clean and spacious. Perfect!

“The instructors are very engaged with the children. Full 100% attention given to each child. The staff at the front desk are amazingly friendly, professional and do an incredible job of representing the Swim School. Thoroughly happy with every aspect of the school. Have been to others and no one compares locally.„

I would highly recommend Goldfish Swim School, particularly for young children. The instructors are very good at helping scared kids get comfortable in the water. My 6 year old and 3 year old are currently taking lessons, and theyre doing great.

Goldfish has been a great place for our daughter to learn to swim and gain confidence in the water. Jazmin has been an outstanding instructor and our daughter has really enjoyed working with her and learning from her.

Wouldnt take my children anywhere else! He dreaded his previous swim school and now he loves going and actually enjoys it!

My son was very afraid of the water. He is now in Glider 3 and absolutely LOVES swimming thanks to your amazing facility and instructors!!

Friendly staff, convenient times and location, and flexibility. Best of all, the kids love it and are becoming better swimmers each week!

Excellent place for kids to learn swimming !!

Good facility, friendly staff. My son was reluctant to start new group and was provided with personalized lesson to jump start his experience. Thank you!

The water is very comfortable for little ones. The place is clean and the staff is very friendly.

Clean, flexible, friendly, informative, great instructors.
