We've been to a few different swim schools in Bergen County, this is one of the more centrally located ones, being right off Rt17 and the GSP. Being fairly new, the facilities are very clean and bright, well equipped with spacious storage and changing rooms, with very friendly staff. Hours are very good so you should be able to find a time that works for you. There's even a small kids play area for those with antsy little ones. Price seems to be a bit higher than a few other places, but not surprising considering how new and clean it is here. But good overall.

The Senior Assistant Manager, Abigail, reached out to me directly to address the concerns I shared…read morein my last review. She invited me to return and try the facility again. I was paired with a great instructor (Haighley) and my son has been with her consistently for a few weeks. My son was always fearful of water and would cry before getting in any pool. My son now looks forward to swim class. I couldn't get him in a pool before and now I have a hard time getting him out lol. He's very shy but I was surprised to see him talk and joke around with her so quickly. She is great with children (my son is 3). They recently celebrated a year of being open and I've noticed a difference in consistency with instructors throughout. The facility does well at maintaining cleanliness throughout. I'm glad I gave it another chance! Abigail has been amazing and accommodating.

My son also was able to become a life guard with their lessons and certification.

I like this swim school. No nonsense ... Just swimming. My son gets a workout in a small class (2…read moreto 3 kids max) and they do 1 hour time slots. The Olympic size pool is clean and well kept as are the brand new locker rooms and showers. Nina and Ken are very responsible managers and they hire their swim team students as instructors -- I find it is easier to build relationships and trust when older youngsters mentor younger kids. Forget the YMCA or the overhyped "learn to swim" programs that cost twice as much. This is a great deal! Swimming is a life skill. I for one feel obligated to facilitate that learning experience for our boys. So far, so good.

I was excited to have my children begin swimming lessons. As per the website, I emailed the…read moreProgram Director to register my children. I never heard back.

Lesson of this story is: If you can't handle returning an email, there is no way I will trust you with my check or with children in a swimming pool.

Recently, we were on our way to a birthday party when I realized our 7pm swim class just wasn't going to happen. That familiar stress kicked in--figuring out logistics, worrying about rescheduling, and hoping it wouldn't turn into a back-and-forth. But it didn't. I was able to quickly text and reschedule for the next day--no hassle, no long explanations, no friction. That level of flexibility and ease matters more than people realize. It's not just about swim lessons--it's about working with a place that understands real life and makes you feel like you matter. Highly recommend Goldfish Swim School for any parent looking for both quality instruction and a truly supportive experience.

However, this Goldfish has a couple of long time staff who have been here for years and who help to make sure the kids are getting the best swim instruction possible. I recommend this for those looking for a good swim school for kids in the area.

There is still a lack of AC but as the weather changes that becomes less of an issue (for now). Just about every staff member I've come across here is very nice, polite and helpful. They treat the kids that come here well and they seem to look out for them -so for those reasons I think it's a great place. Reasonable monthly fees and a variety of classes are a bonus. Fitness center is average but clean with decent machines. You can get a good workout here, take a swim, and play ball here without breaking the bank. They provide clean towels as well. Very cost-effective.

I signed up my child for camp in this facility. I had previously enrolled my child in other YMCA…read morelocations and had a nice experience. In this location they did not have the children engaged in the activities and were not paying attention to them. We paid a lot of money for the camp but it did not meet our expectations. If you are looking forward to having your child have a good time during camp do not enroll them at this location. They reached out to the parents and said that out of 20 kids, there was a group of 10 kids who not engaged or paying attention. I believe if 50% of the children are not engaged, they need to change the activities to make them more interesting to the children.

The greed is what I am most offended by total disregard for members taking water aerobics. We are made to feel like we are pests for wanting a class. The pools are beautiful and the reason I stay but this is getting out of hand
