I've had 3 children all go through Goldfish Swim in Madison now since 2023, and I don't regret it one bit! Two of my kiddos are adhd with sensory issues; one of which had lessons for several summers while we lived in Florida and it just never stuck! She was 10 by the time we moved here and I was desperate-Goldfish swim worked a miracle and she advanced to Glider 2/3 pretty quickly. My youngest also has serious sensory issues, started last yr for a few mos and then we started again this summer and he's finally swimming with his head underwater!! My middle child learned pretty quickly and is interested in starting the local homeschool swim team. Sophia is a wonderful asset to the swim school, as are many of their staff members. Thank you guys so much! Yes, the cost is more than you get at the Y or city swim lessons, but you get what you pay for. For my kids, Goldfish swim school was the best way for them to learn and helped ease my anxieties as I was afraid they'd never learn.--happy parent of 3 swimmers read more

We've been at Goldfish for about 18 months now and we couldn't be happier. We started Mini classes with her right after she turned 2, and she has learned so much and come such a long way with her swimming and her confidence in the water. She's had several different instructors as she's leveled up and they've all done a wonderful job with her. She takes a while to warm up to people, but she genuinely enjoys the staff. The staff are wonderful and go out of their way to make sure both students and parents are comfortable with instructor pairings and how the lessons are going. read more

Wonderful experience! First swim lesson and the two instructors where amazing with my 5 year old. They were kind, patient, and challenged my daughter. 10 minutes in and she was putting her face under water! She's never wanted to do that. My daughter felt comfortable and safe. we look forward to the next lesson and continuing to learn to swim! read more

We love Goldfish. My first son started swimming with Goldfish when he was 9 months old and before he was 2 he could swim on his own. So when my third child was having trouble I knew exactly where to go. Goldfish does not disappoint. Their instructors are well trained and their program works. read more

Been here once to a family swim event. It was a cute, clean facility. They have several little huts you can change in, a dryer for your swim clothes, hair dryers, etc. Staff was nice to us. And my kids loved it! read more

My daughter has attended 3 weeks now! We absolutely love the gentle approach used at GSS. Everyone is so kind and encouraging. I love the intimate class size and how there is always a lifeguard on deck. read more

Swim lessons here have been a joy for both my kids. We love that the water stays warm, three family swim times are offered weekly, and the app makes scheduling missed lessons and make-up lessons easy. read more
