    The only lesson my young daughter got was about “products” in her hair. Staff never notified me about it but took it upon themselves over multiple lessons to make my child insecure about her textured hair. No “products” were used in her hair. No policies regarding the use of products were ever stated. When it was addressed with the staff a male employee suggested a swim cap. No one in that facility (including staff) wore swim caps in the water. This location is conveniently located in Evanston, but needs some serious cultural sensitivity training. I was issued a refund and free lessons, but wouldn’t feel comfortable sending my kids back here.

    We’ve been attending for half a year. Our toddler has improved so much! Staff members are friendly, welcoming, and they accommodate to your needs. Our favorite instructor is Mr. Mitri. Also, their pool is always nice, warm, and clean, and their prizes after lessons are a nice touch. We can’t recommend them enough!

    Don’t waste your money here. In less than a month they cancel my kids classes and their policy for cancel the membership is ridiculous. WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME

    I’ve done swim lessons at a number of places with my oldest child, but during COVID all those places were shutdown so I took my youngest to goldfish. Ive been so happy and so has she! She has a blast and looks forward to every lesson. She’s also learned so much and is a much improved swimmer. Today she wore her “Goldfish” T-shirt and said “this Goldfish Swim School shirt is very special to me.” We love goldfish!

    My child has benefited immensely from going to Goldfish. She was a total no swimmer when she started and now she’s got beginner skills & getting across the pool on her own. Very pleased with the instructors and facilities.

    From the moment we walked in for the first time, we felt welcomed, and our son was so excited. The staff made every step seamless and comfortable for our 3.5-year-old. Crystal at the front desk was so kind to him. Curran has been a fantastic instructor, and our son is so excited to go and always wants to stay longer. He's smiling the entire time. Most importantly, he's learning and becoming more comfortable each week. Thank you!

    My comment didn't make it to the post. I was trying to say that this location made my son a Pro in swimming. The teachers and staffs are all accommodating and passionate in what they do. I highly recommend them. ♥

    The teachers are all so encouraging. We started with classes as soon as they allow babies in the pool (4 months)!

    I’m very pleased with how nice all the staff are. Also they keep the place really clean! Special shout out to my daughter swim coach Mr. Joe he is always smiling and very patient with all the swimmers.

    Very nice facility and a good response to the current Covid climate, with limited class sizes. My son is still enjoying his lessons here and making great progress. He likes the coaches and lessons are a highlight of the week. Bonus that it shares a parking lot with Temperance, so if you have 2 parents on your lesson that day, the other can have a tasty beverage :)

    We love that the instructors are very attentive to each child. Love the small class size. The place is always very clean. My daughter looks forward to coming and learning new skills and moving to different levels. The instructors are very caring. They encourage Kandice to do her best and motivate her to feel strong with her swimming.

    My son's teacher Maddie is amazing. His confidence in the water has really improved and I feel like he's actually learning to swim. We had one small incident and I feel like the staff and management handled it really well.

    This school is outstanding! My 3 year old granddaughter loves her "swim school" and is always looking forward towards her next class. The school is bright, cheerful, welcoming, and clean. It's employees are cheerful and happy to welcome their students. Our class time is at 530pm and we are always welcomed with a big smile. Tavis and Kalaiah have been her outstanding teachers, patient, fun with a plan and objectives with each class. The Goldfish Swim School has been a very bright spot and weekly event for my granddaughter this summer!

    Jay and her team of lifeguards were absolutely phenomenal at my son’s 3rd birthday! My son had an amazing time w his cousins and friends, but best of all, Mama and Dada had no stress due to the wonderful staff that helped out immensely! I’ve recommended this location to friends and family! Great staff you have at your location!
