My 4 year old daughter loves her goldfish swim school! It is awesome that they provide the swim class application to book make up classes by ourselves(sometimes she takes a nap and we need to adjust the date) It is very convenient to use the app.Swim instructors are very patient and professional and the staffs are very responsive and helpful also the environment is always clean and very family friendly atmosphere. We love the window watching area too!So far we really are enjoying the goldfish swim school . Thank you all!

We are new to the Goldfish community and couldnt be more thrilled with the experience. We opted for a private family lesson due to our schedule availability and it has been fabulous to watch your staff work with our girls and the girls working together. They have come to love your staff and look forward to their swimming lessons each week. As you promised, it took three weeks before they were confident, happy and hooked :)

Goldfish swim school in Brookline has been very thoughtful about their re-opening during these times and has paid attention to every little detail to keep everyone safe. The teachers are fantastic!

Instructors and personnel are very friendly, great facility and equipment, pleasant and cheerful decor. My 8mo old baby enjoys his swim lessons there. Great experience overall.

Instructors are great and I love the feedback they give us at the end of the class about my son’s progress. My son loves the warm pool and he’s swimming better than before. Thank you!

Daniel is really progressing in his ability to kick! Im very happy with the way the instructors are working with him on that. Daniel is very comfortable in the water with the instructors!

Class is good, but reception is worst. Free family swimming is on a first-come, first-served basis, but operation is arbitrary and practically almost unavailable. I am very disappointed because it is different from the description at the time of enrollment.

I love this place and the staff are excellent. However, I found that the classes are too relaxed. YMCA pushes the kids, motivates and encourages them. Goldfish tends to be the easy and slow approach. Some kids require that relaxed approach. But, for the amount per lesson, we cannot afford that type of style. In one session, my daughter was on the wall along with another swimmer for most of the session. She had two pushes off the wall where one swimmer required additional help. It was a 3:1 ratio. The class was 30-minutes and my swimmer barely had a lesson. Goldfish tends to put new swimmers at the lowest level first, regardless of their abilities to have the instructors evaluate them. This lasted for 3 classes where I decided to cancel. It wasnt until I decided to cancel where the next classes, before my contract ended were putting my swimmer with a more aggressive instructor. By that time, I didnt want to pursue due to the cost and lesson format. Facility and the staff are excellent! Unfortunately, the lessons were not a fit for us.

It makes the whole process of taking lessons easy. Weve also been pleased with the level of instruction our son has received. Everyone weve interacted with is friendly and helpful. Thanks

We love this place. Coaches are good at inspiring little kids.

My daughter has been taking lessons at Goldfish for about seven months. She enjoys it and looks forward to returning each week. As a parent, I love the feedback we get every week from her instructors. Its also great that they allow students to move up when theyre ready instead of waiting for the end of a session. Outside of class, the waiting area is great for when I need to work (yay WiFi) or when I have my younger son with me and need to keep him entertained (they have coloring sheets and a chalkboard). Overall, it makes for a relatively stress-free experience for all.COVID-19 update: Were so glad that Goldfish has reopened. The new safety procedures are pretty robust with temperature checks, distancing, and frequent disinfecting. The smaller class sizes also mean more swimming and instructional time for each swimmer. My daughter is very happy to be back in the pool. Unfortunately, non-swimming siblings cant come in the building right now, but thats understandable.

You turned a reluctant child into a swimmer. Thank you!

Great facility. Well organized, very clean. Well located in Brookline village.

I love goldfish swim school

I had been looking forward to swimming with my daughter since before she was born, and Im so glad that were able to swim at Goldfish swim school! I was nervous about pandemic precautions, but I appreciate they have very clear policies about masks, spacing, and I see them cleaning both deck and changing rooms frequently, so I havent had any worries since starting lessons. All of the instructors and lifeguards have been very friendly, and setting up a trial and then a weekly lesson time was easy. I called/emailed a few times and got quick responses, and they followed through on their promise to let us know if a spot opened up at a different time. Thanks, Goldfish!

Great school! Will recommend.
