    My son likes his swimming lessons from the first time he came here. He learned how to swim , and he’s mastering his skills with every lesson. I’m proud to see his progress and appreciate professionalism and courtesy of the staff. It’s always easy to contact school with questions or concerns. Place is clean , with plenty rooms to change after lesson. They also are very kid friendly, which helps when I’m there with my little daughter. It’s fun place to learn and master your child swimming. Highly recommend to everyone!

    Wow I'm so impressed what they've done in the facility ever since my daughter used to come here before the pandemic. Management apparently changed as well i was told & now it seems way better. The teachers actually teach the kids and it's smaller classes/way wider lanes which = more time for each kid swimming. Before there would be sometimes 5 kids in a small lane & it barely gave each enough time swimming. Highly recommend this place.

    bad experience, because of the change of instructor my daughter who was motivated to start her swimming classes, with the second day of classes she became afraid of the pool they let her drown in an oversight of the inexperienced instructor, the "fish motto of colors "where security skills are emphasized, they do not comply, very little class time, only 25 min, without counting the loss of time during the class, due to the distraction of the employees and their conversation, the manager with her gestures is a disrespectful person, they should improve the way they get the children out of the pool, when the parents enter for them, all the adults enter around the pool with shoes, leaving the contamination and dirt of their shoes and the students and instructors stepping on the same place and enter the pool carrying ALL the dirt, (lack of hygiene). and for the cancellation and return of the money, they did not show the slightest interest in repaying it, with the knowledge that it was due to their MISTAKE AND NEGLECT that my daughter did not want to continue with the program because they let her sink (she swallowed water) and my daughter was just starting to have confidence in the pools!

    No structured progression for students, same thing every class. Make you pay in advance so once you realize this, they still have another month of your money. Not willing to stand behind their program.

    SCAM! Avoid at all costs. They make it INCREDIBLY difficult to cancel - you have to wait 30 days and call at specific hours to speak to the “general manager.” In terms of actual swim instruction the teachers are extremely lazy. Classes are pointless and boring. The instructors clearly don’t want to be there. Do yourself a favor and go to ymca or anywhere else.

    Awesome place! My family and I are huge fans.  The kids always have a great time at their classes and during family swim.  The area is clean, and the heated pool is a big plus.  Their staff is very courteous, friendly, and professional.  Keep up the great work, guys!

    They scam you out of makeup swim classes. Fine print: you can only use makeup classes if you're enrolled in weekly classes so that means you'd have to double up in one week. Two of our classes were cancelled in one month due to weather and they wouldn't accommodate us unless we signed up for another month for $132. And yet they didn't have any times available for the age group.

    Started bringing my 3 year old son to Goldfish Swim School in April and we’ve had a great experience. Super clean, friendly and safe. My sons instructors have been amazing teaching him water safety and skills and he’s had the best time!

    Throughout my daughter’s life, we have tried a few different programs in area. She loves swimming and actively participated in it during the summer but it can’t be difficult to find a great program all year round. After being referred to the Goldfish School, I was amazed at how quick they were to answer my questions, that variety of classes they have, and how passionate the team is to provide an excellent experience for the school of fish ( pun intended ;) ) After visiting for a free trial class, my daughter begged me to sign her up for classes and loves telling her friends about the fun she has at swim class. The teachers are especially skilled with their lessons, give substantial feedback so you know how your child is doing, and the front staff is also kind and help me whenever I forget swimsuits, towels, or even my mom brain ;) ( A special shout-out to Dasha who truly comes to the rescue when I have questions or need to buy another pair of goggles! Overall, if you’re looking for an excellent swimming program with the great teachers, different levels of advancement, and a class your child will love- Look no further. The Goldfish Swimming school is what you’re looking for. You have nothing to lose with their free trial class and see the fish swim for yourself.

    I never write reviews but don't want what happened to me happen to you. this place ticks all the boxes of scam. They make it VERY VERY VERY difficult to cancel - to do so you have to talk to one person on the phone. Additionally, they kept charging us after our cancellation window ended. When you call to raise a concern the response is "my manager isn't here, not sure when they'll be back." The classes are terrible to boot and every instructor is so lazy. Go to any other swim school.

    This has been a great experience so far. My two year old was afraid of water on his face and didn’t have a strong sense of comfort in the pool. The instructors are very patient and make being in the water fun for the kids. The facility itself is also super cute and clean!

    Bringing my son (infant) here. I think is a nice place. Not complicated to check in, and you can sit and watch your child do the class. Employees are friendly. They have showers, dressers, and box kind of storage to place your bags. Enough chairs to sit and observe the class.

    This place does swim classes for young children. The day we went it was very busy as its a Saturday. Very well staffed and the place looked great with a lot of kids type swim equipment on hand with a lot of staff around the pool area. Seamed to be very well run.

    Goldfish Swimming School offers a welcoming embrace with its comfortably warm pool, making it especially suitable for the littlest swimmers. Their programs tailored for babies are commendable. However, a ripple in the water arises with the instructors, who could benefit from injecting a bit more energy and enthusiasm into their classes. Overall, it's a promising spot for budding swimmers, with room for just a splash more dedication from the teaching staff.
