We have tried lessons in several places and have not had any luck with him acclimating. We had heard great things about Goldfish, and I told them I just wanted a trial class in case our son refused to participate. To our surprise, he loved the setting and has never resisted going to a swim lesson. He has been with Goldfish for a couple of months, and we could not be more thrilled with his progress! Thank you, Goldfish Swim School!

I took his "treading water" clinic and in 10 minutes, I was treading water effortlessly; something I've struggled doing for years and even after taking numerous lessons with private instructors (not affiliated with SwimBox). He's taught for 22+ years! and it shows. He simply knows how to coach all the minute details in swimming mechanics. I've always 'm someone with a high muscle to fat ratio and have ALWAYS sank like a rock. He taught me 3 styles to use my hands to tread and 4 styles using my feet. He demonstrated things in the water (such as corkscrews) that I've never seen/heard of before. He's very friendly and personable as well. I've taken the swim analysis and it was super helpful/beneficial. Looking forward to signing up for more classes! Highly recommend!

For the 4 year old, it was pretty…read moregood, they went slowly and got her past her fear of getting in the water and putting her head in, but she didn't learn anything more than that in a year. For my 7 year old, it was terrible- she actually regressed in her swimming skills compared to where she started. The pool is so small she could barely practice actual swimming strokes. She was ready to move up to the next level for months, but every week there was new unclear feedback that she just needed to work a little more on some skill before progressing. Very frustrating for her. I do not recommend for older kids.

Poor value for money. I recommend looking elsewhere for swimming lessons for your children, unless…read moreyou're prepared to spend twice as much time and money for them to learn how to swim. While the instructors do their best, the lessons are very short and the instructors often seem distracted, frequently glancing at the parents. I was told this is due to corporate management policies. They were also not transparent about pricing, rushing you to sign a waiver that includes more costs. Overall, you may need to attend and pay twice as many sessions here for your children to achieve the same progress they would elsewhere.

I pointed at the huge sign on the wall that said "Lanes are for adult lap swimmers only". Even though there was plenty of space in the free swim area (though it wasn't conducive for swimming laps) she said "I'm not moving." So, I tried to swim around her an her student on my first lap and she wouldn't even share space to let me by. I informed her that I had reserved the lane and she finally and rudely moved. Then she went on to trash talk me with some other swimmers. If making children feel safe is a priority, she should reconsider being combative with other swimmers and consider respecting other people's boundaries.

It seems to follow a medical model of "teach one, do one." Bottom line: highly recommend. Frustrating things are scheduling and timing of the sessions but I make it work bc we have tried a lot of programs and this one finally yielded results with refining my daughters technique to build endurance and capacity in the water (we are not speed people.) Refreshing to find a program that truly understands the physiology of swimming and can translate it to kids.
