One of my children was petrified of the water and wouldn't submerge his head on the first day, and three months later, he was literally swimming across the pool independently. My other child could just barely swim, and by the end of a few months, he could nearly beat his instructor in a swimming race across the pool. Lisa and her staff are incredible. They are dedicated to helping kids learn water safety awareness, building confidence and independence, improving swimming technique and endurance, all while encouraging kids to have fun and truly enjoy the water. We are so grateful to Lisa and her teachers (our boys adored Aidan!) for helping my children learn the important life skill of swimming--something they will take with them for the rest of their lives!

I was beyond impressed with the instructions that my teenage daughter received. After multiple…read moresessions of swim lessons elsewhere over the years, my daughter still could not swim at fifteen. After one session with Gelsi she emerged from the pool so proud that she actually swam. The way that Gelsi broke down her instruction into logical points that clicked with my daughter was much appreciated. Also, the owner, Lisa, is responsive and easy to communicate with. She checked in with us following the first lesson to make sure that we were happy.

Hi, parent of a 7 year old here. I enrolled my daughter for around 3 years and honestly my…read moreexperience at Goldfish Swim School in the Redmond location was honestly pretty disappointing. The instructors came across as unprofessional, a lot of inconsistency, not much structure, and not enough attention on the kids. It often felt like they weren't prepared for the lessons or didn't really know how to manage the class. Because of that, the actual learning just wasn't there. Kids weren't getting clear instruction, corrections, or real progress. It felt more like loosely supervised pool time than an actual swim lesson, which is not great considering the hefty price in exchange for "golden" quality and the expectations they set. I would often see teachers chat with other staff during lessons which really disappointed me as a parent because not only are you not giving the quality of education promised, but you're jeopardizing the safety of my child by looking away. I don't understand why I need to pay a hefty price to feel anxious during their education. Along with the teachers, they swap out and change too often to be consistent. Overall, it didn't feel like a place where children could genuinely develop their skills or learn safely. I wouldn't recommend it based on what I saw. There are definitely better places out there, or even a family trip to a pool would benefit more than a yearlong subscription in my opinion.

If you are not a member at ProClub, the sessions available to you need to be Monday-Friday: 9:00AM to 5:00PM. When I signed up for aquatics lesson, I was told specifically, that in event, I am not able to attend the session, I will be able to reschedule, as long as I provide them a 24hour notice. As such, I have a conflicting event for this weeks lessons, and I contacted the club 5 Days in advance, and was told that they simply do not do make-up lessons, and If I miss the class I will not be allowed in one of the alternative sessions. Mind-well, ProClub has 6 classes at similar level during the week, which I can attend, and I was specifically told by ProClub staff, I will be able to cancel and reschedule class if needed. The overly restrictive time for Non-members compounded by their lack of understanding that sometimes due to unavoidable reasons people may need to reschedule, make ProClub aquatics not a good choice.

"Ugh, I have to disinfect that now! Hrrmmmpph". Yeah, ya do - so what. It's your job? If you don't want kids touching toys, don't run a class for kids. That's 90% of what they do. And management was real good at screwing up our schedule by giving half of our time slot away. Thanks, my kid knows how to half swim now! It won't stop me from dropping the ol' one star for other potential customers to get a taste of what I got. Cyan, where the management's lyin' and the staff is sighin'.

My four year old is doing well and I now feel safe with her in and around other pools. She shouldn't be too far behind her brother in graduating from the program! They do a wonderful job of keeping classes small and giving each child the attention and direction each ones needs. We did have to wait for about a year on the wait list, however it was definitely worth it, and I believe the schedule has since been adjusted to get more children in on a weekly basis. We have been to the YMCA and St. Edwards for lessons in the past, but having a private pool and smaller classes makes a world of difference. I highly recommend Angelfish!

Popular program. Waitlist is long and sought over. We had a…read morelot of great classes (good instructors here) and then they lost their best instructor and the other really good one cut back. In our final class, our child got stuck in a class where the instructor was overly focused on kids below their ability level, impatient with kids, and not teaching progressing skills. The final straw was when they used the excuse of my child not knowing his strokes to not accommodate him schedule wise when I observed they spent no time teaching them. We were staunch supporters of this program until they had some very rude run ins with our nanny over make up schedules which were their mistake and confusion. Then, after 5 years of loyal support and our child needed to take classes after school very rudely scheduled us out of the program telling us our child was not advanced enough to proceed to the next level and they couldn't make it work when it was very clear they had placed my child in a class in a level too low where they were not properly challenging him. They had good instructors but then lost one of their best during Covid and the main good instructor has cut back significantly leaving much of the program to others. I would not recommend the program at this point. Though they are fine at teaching the basics I found both my children progressed most and faster in other programs for example the SJCC or Riptides. Other programs are more technique focused. Just because your child "graduates" does not mean they will have legal swim technique.

They are both confident and comfortable in the water to the point that my 5 year old is already talking about swim team.
