Ever since my toddler jumped in a bathtub full of water when I turned my back, my husband and I…read moreknew we had to get her into swim lessons and ensure she knew water safety. So, we signed our daughter up for a free trial at Goldfish Swim a couple months ago (wish I could remember the young man's name who taught the class!) and were immediately impressed! My daughter has been scared of water ever since my reaction to the bathtub incident, but her teacher Ms. Annabelle has been so incredibly patient, accommodating and consistent during her weekly sessions. Our daughter gains more and more confidence and skills each week and absolutely loves her teacher! Our daughter also has a speech/language delay and can shut down when not understood but Ms. Annabelle has worked through each breakdown to show her support and understanding which we appreciate so so much! Our daughter is really coming out of her shell and gaining so many language and social skills in addition to swim and safety skills- we are so grateful! Weekends at Goldfish are definitely crowded and hectic and I do wish sessions were an hour long rather than half hour but the progress we've seen in such a short amount of time has shown us how truly valuable these lessons are! Other parents have noted that week days are much calmer but it just doesn't fit well into our schedule. We like that Goldfish offers makeup sessions and recently did back to back sessions. The second/ make-up session was with Ms. Eva and she did such a wonderful job making our daughter feel safe and comfortable, it was such a great experience! Every teacher and employee we've interacted with has been wonderful. We drive almost 40 minutes each way for lessons and it has been worth every mile and every penny! Our nephew is in swim classes at a Goldfish school on Long Island and his parents highly recommended the program when they knew we were looking for a place to join. So happy we gave Goldfish a try, we look forward to every session and the growth we see weekly! The skills our daughter is building are so worth it and we can't recommend Goldfish Swim enough!

We had a swim party last September for my daughter (2024). This was the worst party and I would…read morenever recommend spending hundreds of dollars at GoldFish. They did not provide any of the "perks" that were advertised- no lifeguard, no activity staff, no Birthday invitations, no tshirt. The two staff that were present sat at the front desk on their phones. This was at the Williamsville New York location. I called directly following her party and all that could be said was "I'll pass this to my supervisor." As we both of my kids did lessons there for the good part of the school year, I asked that I be removed from the calling list as I was getting repeated calls to sign back up. Even a year later, I'm still getting calls to have another party and sign my kids up for lessons. I just received a phone call for a birthday party and I kindly asked, again, to be removed from their calling list. I was told the system was down and I couldn't be removed at this time but they would note to remove me. So you can look up my daughter to know that her birthday is in Sept and look my phone number up to call, yet you can't remove me from your system?? My husband and I have spend thousands of dollars on swim lessons for the duration of a school year. I would not recommend Foldfish in any capacity.

Best sailing school in WNY by a mile. We are both ASA 101, 103 and 104 trained through Sail Buffalo…read moreand having had sailing lessons before, I can tell you that there is no comparison to other programs. They are slightly more expensive but ultimately, the value makes them cheaper. As a skipper, you have access to a boat virtually anytime you like for the entire summer, with none of the liabilities of ownership (slip fees, maintenance, haul outs and storage. And the floating docks actually have prime accessibility to the sheltered outer harbor or open lake at the mouth of the Buffalo River across from Canalside. If you are interested in learning to sail, you need to give Sail Buffalo a look.

Members are issued a fob to use to enter the facility. The front desk person almost always greets us. There are plenty of machines, and many treadmills and stationary bikes - seldom out of order. Spray containers of disinfectant and loads of white wash clothes abound for members to wipe down equipment. I feel obliged to note that I was duly unimpressed by the group fitness class I attended. On my first visit, the instructor was curt and unwelcoming, barking at me that I wouldn't like the class, in front of the class. She never met me. Knew nothing about my abilities nor interest. The classmates were kind and told me I'd get "used to her". Ah. No. No. No; wrong on so many levels. Especially when a newbie comes to class, who might be self conscious or introverted or scared to attend an exercise class. People will never forget how you made them feel. (Said Maya Angelou) It is a joy to see people of all ages and abilities using the machines. I've seen elders on the bikes and tweens on the treadmills. Wee ones stroll by from the daycare area to play in their own area apart from the adults. There are large tvs and music is also piped in. It feels like a completely non-judgmental environment, and aside from the group class encounter, it's my kind of place.
