Customer service is great, they're very accommodating and flexible. Highly recommend them.

After a negative experience when he was younger, I was delighted at the quality facilities and small class sizes. He went from nearly zero to swimming half the pool and jumping into the deep end, and it's all from the instruction here. It's pricier than some other options but worth it for us. Would be 4.5 - only deduction for pricing model.

We couldn't have gotten luckier!…read more First off thank you to Jasmine for giving us such a wonderful welcoming to this swim school. I signed up online. Our first time was last Wednesday and even my baby's swim instructor Audrey is the absolute best! She's so sweet and calm. My baby had an amazing first time last week and we can't wait what's in store for us today. Thank you thank you thank you Goldfish for calming down this one nervous first time mama! See you tonight.

I held my child's 10th birthday party at Goldfish Swim School - Astoria on Saturday, June 14. It…read morewas truly the best day ever. Everyone had an incredible time (adults and the kids), and so did the birthday child! The space is beautiful and clean, there was more than enough space for our party of 40. There were lifeguards on duty, safety devices available. The pool is only 4 feet deep and it was nice and warm on an unseasonably cold June day. We had pizza delivered from a nearby restaurant and brought in our own cake, and the team served everything. It was so helpful to be able to enjoy the party with our guests. I reserved a slightly longer event. We arrived at 4 pm to get ready, the party was from 4:30 - 7 pm (swimming until 6 pm, and the pizza and cake the rest of the time), and we were out of there after packing by by 7:30 pm. We never felt rushed. The fee included private use of the pool and facilities, favor bags, life guards and team, tablecloths, plates, juices, balloons, coloring pages, etc. Serious shout outs to the staff, particularly the two who were steering the ship all day, Jazmin and Brita, who were both DYNAMITE. Ashley, who helped me book the event, was AMAZING. She patiently answered so many questions and made sure the team was respectful of all pronoun usage within our group, too. Thanks so much to the Goldfish Astoria team! Everyone is still raving about the wonderful party.

If u r a swimmer like me you would feel the whole world just become so DRY without swim laps in a pool. I took Ian's class. He is funny and sarcastic some times but funny overall.

The only downside is i sign up for classes through classpass and they only offer mon tues wednes 7:45pm on classpass.

I have been swimming with Red Tide for several years. I have met some of the most amazing and fun…read morefriends here. The coaches are experienced and work to create challenging, original practices. Red Tide has a great swim program while also being social. Whether you join for the physical challenge, or to casually stay fit (or bounce between them) this team has it for you! You don't have to be an amazing swimmer either - I joined and never swam open water and was a sprinter. I ended up swimming a 10 K in Vermont! I love this team!

Saw the reviews stating all levels are welcome, so I invited a few of my friends but they hesitated…read moremostly because of the word "masters" in the name. Nevertheless, I went by myself but I have decided that I will not be coming back because the coach wasn't teaching and it was not a swimming class. I had told the coach that I'm rusty and I would like to refresh my skill and that I wasn't comfortable in the deep end (15') but would like to work on that. Rather she put me in the slow lane and told me to play around and get comfortable with the water while she stood and focused most of her attention on the faster lanes and chatting away. There's a list of laps & styles she said I could follow, which was located on the board near the fast lane & very far from the slow lane, making it almost unreadable. So I wasted my hour learning absolutely nothing and only doing things that I would typically do at the pool in the gym... only thing is that in the gym I can swim to the end of the pool while in this one I could only swim halfway since half of the pool is 15' deep. Another perk about the gym pool over this is the amenities in the locker / changing room. One of the swimmers told me to use YouTube to learn and how it's better than the coaches. MISC. INFO.: - located inside John Jay College. - your first swim is free, you just need to show up and sign the waiver. - bring your lock, towel, flip-flops, shower supplies, etc. - $260 for a monthly unlimited if you decide to sign up, $30 per class if you don't want the commitment, $28 per class ($140 total) if you want to get the 5-class pass, and $210 a month if you want to lock in for 6 months unlimited, which is transferable to your friends or family if anything comes up. - $100 annual membership with Red Tide and a $70 annual membership with USMS are required before signing up. Overall, I will not be returning after going over the pros and cons between the gym pool and the pool here. But if you are advanced and don't have much to work on, by all means, go. They have daily swim with exception of Sunday, which makes it flexible.

My one gripe was the curriculum. Not sure if it's because we were enrolled in a more *beginner* type class, but I would have loved for them have included some more techniques. I thought my child would learn to float / tread water and they did not. We were also told one particular class would have the children being in the pool in regular clothing, a technique to help prevent drowning. This never happened. A little disappointing. Overall, would recommend and will be reenrolling my children.
