Bright and fun swim school for children. Excellent accommodations: changing rooms, hair dryers, swimsuit dryers. They thought of everything? Wonderful place for children to learn to water safety and swimming. Call for details!

Our son is two in a half years old. He has been attending Goldfish Swim classes since he was 6 months old. He recently advanced to the classes without his mom. Although it’s a group setting, the kids have one on one attention. Each child waits their turn to get their lesson for the day. It helps them by watching the other children and has also helped to prepare him for school by having to wait.

Children really can learn to swim here, even if they are fearful or have zero previous skills. It isn’t cheap, but it is something that is hard to teach at home. The couches are kind and there’s always a lifeguard watching the children’s swim classes, just in case.

One thing to note is that it’s very warm in here so that the children don’t get cold coming out of the pool. It is just something to be aware of when you are waiting during a lesson.

I've got a 10yo kiddo who's been too scared or embarrassed (because he's older) to do swimming lessons for years. He finally said he wanted to do lessons this summer, so I set out to find somewhere with QUALITY instruction that was AFFORDABLE and found BOTH at Goldfish Swim. The skill levels are regimented, which I found helpful to my kid knowing what to expect and not being nervous. I appreciated the variety of instructors when we first started booking because kiddo was exposed to different styles of coaching. They're doing the same collection of activities but each coach brings their own "flavor" of how they interact with the kids. All the coaches are great, but you'll learn which ones your kid connects with the best. I was able to easily adjust lessons to get some of the instructors my kiddo enjoyed the most. My minimum hope this summer was that he'd learn to float and could put his face in the water without too much fuss, but after only 12 lessons, he's moved from Glider 1 to Pro 1 easily. It's been a great confidence booster for him.

A side note I'd like to share is about the booking portal. When I first started, I found it to be confusing when moving between single bookings vs. multi-bookings for the same time each week. Once you're in the booking portal and looking at the time slots that have openings, the calendar looks the same - I didn't see a heading that said I was on the single booking page or the multi-booking page. I accidentally did a multi-booking for an indefinite time period and didn't realize until the start of July when my credit card was charged for that month. I was able to cancel the unwanted lessons starting in August. When I went back to the booking confirmations I had received, I saw where I missed the information on the "Start Date" and "End Date" fields. For bookings that have no end date, I think it would be helpful to make the field default say "indefinite" or "multi-booking w/ no end date." In the grand scheme, it was my mistake, which is why I've given 5 stars, but I'm hopeful my feedback could inform how things are displayed when booking.

My kids love going here. Lessons are quick and efficient. They have a great facility here and I’m impressed with their cleaning and safety measures.

Our daughter loves going to goldfish, her teachers have always been amazing and the place is super clean. The classes are only 30 minutes and sometimes they have up to 4 kids in one lane, which significantly cuts their instruction time. It would be nice if the classes were 45min or had less kids per lane. If you miss a class they let you make it up, that’s always helpful since little kids get sick often in the winter. Overall we’ve had a great experience at goldfish.

The swim school itself is great and the people care. With that being said, their customer service and cancellation policies are predatory. They will auto-charge your card without consent and purposely setup roadblocks to prevent you from cancelling without charge.
