The school has been great for helping my son learn to swim; but more than that is building his confidence and comfort with the water. He used to hate getting his face wet in any way and now he can’t wait to go under water at practice. The teachers energy and positive praise keep my son engaged and excited to be swimming!

Our family absolutely loves goldfish swim school. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We love coming for family swim. You can not beat the price as a fairly large family of 6. Very helpful that they cap off the price at $15. Everything is so clean! The pool itself is always a very nice temperature. All of the pool toys they provide are super cute and fun for little ones. Love that they provide life jackets and that there is a bathroom in the actual pool area. Makes it so much easier when you have more than one little one to keep track of yourself. The showers are nice, great that they provide baby wash for you. The seating area outside of the pool is ample. Just wish there was maybe another bench or 2 inside the pool area itself. Sometimes if its busy there is no where to sit or set your towels. The changing areas are very nice and spacious. All the restrooms are huge. The bathing suit dryer is awesome. Does a great job. So nice that they provide hair dryers. A must for cold Ohio days. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. Very much need to give this place a try.

Excellent communication between instructors and parents. Superb attention to precautionary safety and health measures. Phenomenal instruction and guidance for students on an individual level.

Fantastic facility and staff. Super clean and organized. Friendly and welcoming. My toddler had a wonderful experience and learned a lot at her first lesson!

The kind, enthusiastic and hard working staff have helped my little swimmers grow and be more confident in the water. We received so many compliments this summer about what great swimmers they have become. Thank you, Goldfish!

It has been a great experience for our son, despite the COVID-19 restrictions. The staff have been accommodating within measure.

Clean clean clean I love this place! The staff and swim instructors are absolutely wondeful.

I asked about swim lessons in a mom group on Facebook. Goldfish came highly recommended so i decided to give it a try for a trial lessons. Despite all the rave reviews, it wasn’t for us. First and foremost it is very very very chaotic. The environment can be an anxiety trigger if you have a child who is nervous about lessons to begin with. Also, I walked in and was lost, it was my first time and I didn’t know what to do. Every single young girl at the desk looked directly at us and didn’t say a word. I was hoping it would be welcoming as some other reviews mentioned but that was far from the case. First impression was really blown. The instructor was also a very young girl and she seemed overwhelmed. You could tell she was trying to compose herself but was not doing a very good job at it and I’m positive that the kids felt that energy. Two good things I’ll say is the decor is very cute! And the young lady who gave the “report” at the end was very sweet and professional.

My kids look forward to lessons every week and have really made great strides in swimming!!

The emphasis on safety in the water is really important to me. My daughter’s confidence to swim has soared. She has fun during the class and has enjoyed learning from the instructors. Allowing for makeups has helped ensure my daughter is able to continue swimming even when our schedule is super crazy. I would highly recommend Goldfish to any parent or caregiver!

Phenomenal instructors, facility and philosophy!!! Teaching kids takes specifics talents, and teaching kids how to swim takes patience, reassurance and consistency! Goldfish swim has maintains all of these components and more!!! We are so thankful (as well be forevermore) our friend recommended Goldfish swim. Thank you for all the wonderful lessons youve taught our kids ️

Mommy and me and independent, small group lessons. Easy to schedule. My son loves it and has learned so much in 2 years of lessons. Great for teaching water safety and competitive swim.

Clean and Hygienic. Super fun and friendly. Well organized. Beautiful tropical beach decor with all essential amenities. Swim coaches who are passionate about their work and make learning to swim fun for kids. Structured learning process and instructions, with progress cards that are easy to understand and motivate. Friendly staff. A year round place you look forward to take your kid to and your child is very excited to be there. All in all, a place that puts a smile on your face and meets your goals - Learn to swim.

The classes are just the right length to keep my daughters attention and the teachers are very patient and kind with the kids.

Amazing experience to watch our 5 yr old get confidence with swimming. We continue to do another month because of seeing her progress. Wanting to put our 3 yr old in it know. They give you a ribbon for each new swim step, they have a line of showers for kids to get into in their suits. Changing rooms, blow dryers. Nice, clean, and organized!

Friendly, encouraging instructors, warm water, warm air.

“I have a 1 year old & a 5 year old enrolled at Goldfish and I tell everyone how amazing it is! I teach at The Little Gym and firmly believe in the positive, fun, safe and nurturing environment we strive to create. When were at Goldfish, I see that same type of environment and it makes me smile. I can see that the teachers love what they do and want each child to succeed - even my trouble-maker The small class size is perfect. Parent involvement at the end of class helps me feel more connected to my childs learning. And the monthly themes are icing on the cake! If I could design the perfect water safety/swim program based on my experience as a teacher and parent, this would be it! We truly love every aspect of Goldfish Swim School. Keep up the great work!

Friendly staff! Consistent process. I love that it’s kid friendly and that they focus on the singular process of swimming lessons. They’re not like most business that focus on multiple items and offer swimming lessons on the side. They have it down at Goldfish.

I like the attention to detail and organized manner in which the school operates. The instructor to student ratio ensures each student receives the proper time and focus on improvement. The performance feedback at the end of each session helps me better prepare my child for the next session. Love the positive reenforcement and reward recognition for a job well done...keep up the great work!

The reason I change my review is that Owner of the school actively work with me to solve all my concerns.I had very some not happy experience with Gold Fish two times, here are the tricks I hope parents to be aware of:1. They will set you in a very low level, and keep you in the lower levels and not try to move your kid to the next level. My daughter has been learning one skill for 4 weeks but all other skills are perfect, but they just keep her there not moving her to next level or not helping her overcome the last skill for 4 weeks.2. It is a 30 minutes class, but they never started on time. Our class is 4pm, but they always open pool door 5 minutes later, and have parents pick kids at 4:25, so it is a shorter class.3. The refund policy is a disaster. They took my credit card information and charged me automatically, and we can only be withdrawn for next month with an application. For example, when we started class 10/03, we can only ask for withdraw next month which means they need to charge whole month of October and November.However, things would happen, kids are afraid of water, kids cannot adapt to the guidance, family has vacation plan, then we have no choices just waste for two month tuition.4. Supervisor and manager are very hard to deal with. I try to work with them several times and tey to be patient for 4 weeks, but they are just not helpful, they are consider their business practice and policy much more than your kids need and your kids advancement.

I cannot say enough about Goldfish swim school. Great instructors, staff, spotless facility, and terrific programming.

Love this place! The instructors are calm and patient, always make my daughter feel safe and comfortable in their care. The environment is inviting and child centered! They really thought of everything a parent would need to make visiting Goldfish a smooth, easy experience. Definitely better than the local rec centers lessons!

My kids attend class once a week when Cleveland is not in winter. I am amazed how far they have come, how well they can swim, their confidence in the water. My kids rarely go to a pool outside of class and they have learned a lot from their awesome instructors.

We love the instructors, the cleanliness of the facility , the amenities (showers, soap, dressing rooms, & hairdryers especially) and the program.

Goldfish swim school is the absolute best! I recommend them to anyone with a tiny human!!

Beyond happy with our experience! Every teacher has been so happy, friendly, and knowledgeable of swimming. Each night I see people walk around sanitizing everything, literally everything! Very happy we moved to Goldfish!!!

We love Goldfish! Out son is 22months and has learned so much in the past 2 months. The instructors are always the same which is great for building trust. There are lesson plans for each clasd which i love. Classes are well organized and run. Water safety the focus and that is very important to us. We highly recommend Goldfish!!

I recommend this place!

Goldfish is the best swim school around! I have four children and have tried many other facilities and nothing compares! As soon as you walk in you are greeted by friendly staff. The facility is very clean and comfortable. Pool is warm and staffed very well with lifeguards in addition to the instructors. Classes are small and run very efficient. My children have learned more at goldfish just in the few months we have been going compared to years at other places. I like that my children were able to move up to the next class when they were ready instead of having to be in a class for a certain amount of time. (Like most places) thank you to the Fairview goldfish team for everything you do!!!

Wonderful place for child swim lessons! The teachers are very knowledgeable and I can trust them with my baby. Also its a very fun and clean environment.

“We love that Brionna! She is so patient with our daughter. Our daughter is scared of going under the water and doesnt have much experience with swimming. Brionna is extremely patient with her and doing a great job building up her confidence. Thanks so much!!!„

We love Goldfish. The classes are fun and quick moving for my young distracted toddler. Through the weeks the exercises have made her more and more relaxed in the pool. We always have a good time.

Our 3 yr old had taken 18 weeks of swim class elsewhere, and actually ended up terrified of the water. We decided to try Goldfish Swim School and love it!! After 1 class, he went from screaming and crying, to loving the pool and asking when he gets to go back! Thank you to the entire staff, especially Thomas, for making him feel safe and comfortable!

Angel, Mishas teacher is really great. She has been very patient with her, helping building her confidence over time. Last week, she finally swam independently underwater and that was awesome for a parent to see.

We love the small class sizes, which allow for more personal attention and development. The facilities are a great big plus too. Lots of amenities and the decor is fun and inviting.

The location, instructors and amenities make it so worth it!

Love Goldfish! Great customer service, my kids are learning every class, and they are always excited to go to their lesson!

Great customer service and my son loved the class

The faculty is so nice, the facility is always clean and the classes are very beneficial!

The place is awesome, the staff is great, they teach very well, and the teachers are awesome with my son. Id recommend it to anybody who wants their children to learn to swim.

We were here for a birthday party, it was very clean and friendly. we will be back.

I have been many places for swim lessons and this by far is the place where my children (6 and 4) have made the most progress! I love their philosophy.

I love the small class sizes and personalized attention!

Very clean, friendly and informative.

Our daughters are thriving at this swim school! Wonderful instructors and very knowledgeable!

Ease of scheduling, excellent teachers, very clean environment

Worse swimming school ever
