    We LOVE Goldfish Swim School in Centereach! My boys are 12 and 5, and both have benefited greatly from taking swimming lessons at Goldfish. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient, plus the facility is very clean. Swim safety is so important, highly recommend Goldfish Swim School in Centereach!

    If I could give this place 0 starts I will ! I had my daughter on swimming classes since she was 4 months old. Never had any problem until I called them on January 2022 because I was about to had a baby to pause my oldest daughter lessons. The lady who took my call instead of help me charged me twice for February. I didn’t feel comfortable on leaving my CC information anymore. Besides Joanne everybody else has been very disrespectful there. They don’t have any sense of customer service at all, if they have to communicate anything to you instead of tell it on private they will yell it to you as soon as you are arriving to the place. Bottom line this place has to change the way their employees treat their customers. Be aware of this before you think about enroll your child there.

    I have three kids enrolled, almost every class there has been with a different instructor. Some Instructors are very friendly, while others don’t even acknowledge your child and say hi. One class my son sat and play with the other two kids while the instructor gave the fourth child a private lesson because she was having a meltdown! The trainee that was working with this instructor played with water toys with the others for the entire class- no swimming was done! Today my son went underwater and the lifeguard wasn’t even watching and he didn’t even stand up to be ready to jump in. They do not do monthly drug tests!!!!! They claim to do random tests which to me is unacceptable when you have small children who do not know how to swim in a pool and could easily drown!!! Needless to say they lost all three of my children after only two short months!!!!

    This is our second child to go to swimming lessons here as an infant. It is beautifully decorated, pool is a comfortable temperature and the changing rooms are very clean. Blow dryers and swimsuit dryers are available as well! The instructors are very sweet and patient with the kids.

    Was here for 3 months. First month the instructor was horrible but they were very tolerant to my concerns and switched the instructor. The next 2 months were great. Unfortunately, after my 3rd month my card expired. I was ready to add a new card but they didn’t even give warning or say anything before filling our spot. I tried to bring it up but they did not seem to care and put us on a waiting list. I tried a different day and time but they’re only other times conflicted with my sons naps. I tried to cancel and they only offered a credit which I couldn’t use since they had no open spots. Very upset as he loved the class.

    Absolute worst. Rude and incompetent management and staff. Terrible policies to rob you. If you have your own pool sign your kid up for your urswim instead, Which is what I did for my daughter and had a much better experience with a lifeguard coming to our home and having undivided one on one 30 minute attention instead of just five minutes per kid.

    We are beyond pleased with Goldfish Centereach swim lessons. The facility is adorable, it’s clean and spotless, the staff is friendly, the safety and swim teachers are perfect - I was amazed on day one. It’s so refreshing to have a good wholesome experience - I’ve been recommending you to all my friends and family. Thank you!

    All my 3 kids go there. They all become super comfortable with the water and were able to use all the skills from school and apply it in the outdoor pool. They just felt in love with swimming after joining goldfish swim school. A huge thanks to the instructors for their hard work

    Great place for your kids to learn to swim! Safety is a top priority at all times.pool, deck lavatories and changing rooms are extremely clean.

    I don't live in Centereach but I bring my kids here because the staff is truly dedicated. The GM Sam personally made sure my daughter (who was not so keen in doing all the tasks and would push back many times during a lesson) was paired with an instructor who used her creativity and spunk to help her achieve her lesson goals. Rich and Jordan are always encouraging the kids in every lane (my kids love when they shout out their names during a lesson) and keep the day running smoothly as they call everyone in and out of their lesson. They make swim feel like a family fun event, I look forward to bringing the kids every week .

    My son has been attending Goldfish Swim school for Over a year. Initially we were very happy with the school’s performance & his adaptability to learning to develop his swimming skills. However after being with the program for over a year and remaining in the same exact level he begun in it started to become much less challenging and exciting for him to attend classes. I’ve contacted the manager and employees on multiple occasions to find out how long is the process to move up to a new level for swimmers and why I never Receive any feedback whatsoever on his progress or even what he needs to improve on if anything! But to no avail. Currently searching for a better swimming school for my son.

    My 8 year old has been coming here for two years and he has come a long way. He feared the water so he was delayed on me introducing him to the pool. After moving into a condo 4 years ago with an amazing Pool I noticed kids a lot younger than my son using the diving board and swimming in the 10 feet side. My son wanted to copy them but I told him he has to learn how to swim. So I enrolled him here and let me say that every child is different. He not only feared the water, then it was learning how to hold his breath under water to now diving from the diving board FINALLY! This school does not teach diving but by learning the basics my son became very fond of swimming and it is so important to be patient with how long it will take for your child to learn. We had a couple of teachers that were not the best but the managers handled my concerns immediately and made the changes necessary to accommodate my son. I appreciate everyone here they always greet you with a big smile and acknowledge you when you exit. This is a great place for your kids to learn swimming!

    Love goldfish swim school. They are really helping my daughter get comfortable in the water and improve her swimming skills. Great setup and great instructors make this a great place to learn and advance in swimming.

    My kids have been loving their time here and continue to learn new skills with the help of their wonderful instructors! The facility is always kept very clean and the staff is so friendly. Special shout-out to Manager Sam who is so attentive and helpful!

    I have been nothing but amazed at the level Of friendliness, professionalism, and cleanliness at this facility. I am So happy that I signed my Daughter up. She has loved every second and she has become so much more confident in the water. I see her improving each week and that is thanks to the wonderful instruction!

    Bringing my son the goldfish was the best decision I’ve made for him. He has learned so much and has made friends in his classes. It is always a positive atmosphere when you walk in and walk out!

  • 5/5 LI M. 11 months ago on Google
    The absolute best facility and staff! We hosted a private open swim event here and it was such a success. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate our guests and the facility and pool were extremely clean. Highly recommend.

    My son has been going to Goldfish for about a year now and I’m not sure if I’m seeing as much progress as we would like. The progress has been a little slow so we requested to have a consistent instructor each week that we go. Our instructor seems to be different almost every week (we go the same time and day each week). Classes end 5 minutes early with most of the instructors although we’re paying for a full 30 minutes of instruction. We requested Brennan to have as a consistent instructor each week since he’s amazing and he covered for the other instructor. Not trying to get the other staff in trouble but Brennan is who we want to have each week for the Saturday 11:30 class for my son. Otherwise, we enjoy going there and overall everyone who works there is friendly and helpful.

    Took over a year to learn basic swim skills. Teachers are constantly rotating and there seems to be no system for new teachers to know where the students progress is. Each time a new teacher comes in the student is forced to start their progress from the beginning because the teacher isn’t aware of the students skill level. Honestly a waste of time and money. If you can afford $10-$20 extra with another swim school, I would recommend it.

    Everyone is hands on and paying attention at all times. In a world of easily distracted people this is the most valuable characteristic of your instructors. Everything is clean and your due diligence goes noticed and respected

  • 5/5 Steven B. 2 years ago on Google
    Our kids have been attending for a few months now and they love it! The entire staff is always smiling and kind, they remember ALL the students. Entire facility is always clean too! Could not recommend them anymore!

  • 3/5 Val S. 1 year ago on Google
    This school is ok if your child can't swim at all. They are able to get kids swimming. But they're extremely slow at it, taking over a year to teach basic swimming techniques. The lessons are also very short, only 30 minutes. But after 25 min they end the lesson to have the next group come in. It's very nice inside with variously themed changing rooms, and the staff are nice. But I feel the productivity level is very low for the money they charge.

    Every person working there is amazing. They are friendly and professional and help with everything I've needed. Also, Mariah is an amazing instructor and my son loves her.

    Goldfish Swim School of Centereach is an amazing place. Each and every employee treats the students and families like they are family. The GM, Sam is always on the floor speaking to families- she is wonderful. My Daughter has had a great experience with every instructor she's worked with!
