Getting our baby to not only feel comfortable in the water but to literally teach him how to turn himself over (god forbid he ever fell in) is very important to us. Our teacher, Miss Rosa has been AMAZING with all the babies!! She has her one on ones with everyone & she's just such a great teacher. We couldn't be happier with the staff, management (Keith Murphy) & CLEANLINESS!!! I highly recommend to all parents who want their kids to feel confident in water & have fun!!

As a birthday gift she got me coaching with Craig Lewin (Endurance Swimming). Working with Craig was fantastic - he got both of us prepped and ready to tackle the Channel in August 2023. Along with the physical preparation he took us thru all the other aspects of attempting something as epic as the English Channel. He even met with our crew to set expectations for the day. As it turned out we really needed all the mental prep (maybe more than the physical). We had to wait until the last possible day to swim and anxiety levels were high. Craig was able to get us all into the best mental state and she was successful. An adventure of a lifetime! We are both planning on continuing with his coaching. I would highly recommend Craig as a marathon swimming coach!

The instructors are AMAZING and are unmatched -- they know how to keep the lessons really fun and make swimming/the water less scary. However, the progress and the curriculum are a bit slow. Each lesson is 30 minutes long, which equates to about 20 minutes of swimming time (but part of that is just getting used to the water, like dunking in their heads). If I were to do it again, I would opt for a couple weeks of private lessons... this would have saved years (in terms of time) and quite a bit of money too. This isn't a knock at all on the instructors, who like I said are great, it's more just the slow progress that they make and it takes a lot of time to see it given how short the lessons are. Sign-up is pretty easy online but popular slots fill quickly. Makeups are allowed by scheduling online. There are 3 sessions to sign up for during the year I think -- fall, winter, and spring. A special shout out to Mr. John and Ms. Cassie who we especially bonded with. Without Mr. John our son would not have gotten there... now he is a great and confident swimmer!

Their swim philosophy and the way they teach helped everything click into place. 2 of my kids went from refusing to put their faces in the water to jumping in at the end of each lesson within weeks. We've had no issues with scheduling our kids, sometimes all 3 of them at once. Yes, they are popular and are not open super late on weekends. This just means that when it's time to enroll I set a reminder for myself (and they send many, plus remind you in your weekly class) and make sure to do it timely. My youngest is still here and the joy and confidence he gets from mastering new skills cannot be beat.

My son has been taking lessons for almost two years now and he has grown into such a confident swimmer during this time. With the help of his instructor Ada he has learned many life saving skills for when he is in the water! Some other pros of Goldfish that we love are- Changing huts - for before and after lessons so no leaving in wet swim clothes. Showers, a bathing suit spinner(the best amenity by far), and a hair drying station for the days it's cold out! The pool deck is also heated to the perfect temperature, so even when it's cold outside you are warm for your lesson! And last but not least, smaller class ratios! The classes are perfect sized, which is great!
