Overall Rating : 4.6 out of 5.0 stars
While there are many positives about Goldfish (e.g. caring and enthusiastic staff, clean facilities, a warm pool, plenty of showers / changing stalls, easy scheduling of make-up classes, a curriculum that’s plain fun for kids), they unfortunately have not been effective at actually teaching our daughter to swim. She has been going for ten months and hasn’t made any progress in the last five months. Goldfish has not made any attempt to adapt and correct this.

I think there are a few major problems that make the instruction ineffective:

– There’s insufficient pool time (~6 minutes per week per student).
– There’s a lack of instructor continuity (we seem to have a substitute teacher every other week).
– There’s no customization/adaptation of instruction to individual students.

I wish we were just an unlucky anecdote. However, seven of our friends’ and family’s kids have also attended Goldfish, and five of them ran into the same issue. Looking at other Google reviews, it’s clear that others have also faced similar problems. It looks like management has reached out to some of them (they also reached out to one of our friends), but I don’t see the underlying issues being addressed. And, for what it’s worth, I did leave the above feedback on my exit form, but Goldfish made no attempt to reach out to me and try to correct the issues. It looks like they don’t care given they have people on the waitlist for their classes.

If your kid is a natural at swimming, they might do fine here. If they aren’t, I would look elsewhere.

My entire life I have never had to write a negative review!!! My daughter has been attending swim lesson for about 3 weeks now! (3 classes)
The first two she has been going and sitting by her classmates even though she was scared of the water. The instructors forced her in the water but it resulted in her being super afraid and now all she does is cries and she doesn’t even go to sit to put her feet in the water. I should have never let them do that, and they should have gave my daughter the time to adjust and go in the water whenever she is ready!!!! Now she is terrified and the staff tell me the pool is loud and she dont like it??? Then why was she completely okay the first two times before they rushed and pushed her in the water???
Some instructors are super nice but some definitely lack knowledge with beginners and children being introduced to pool.
Im so so dissatisfied and disappointed!!!!
Goldfish Swim School has been a great fit for our family. We have experienced 2-3 instructors and have found them to be friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. They often demonstrate a skill and then assist the students as they execute it. I appreciate the efficiency of the program as a whole. Initially I was skeptical my kids could learn skills in a 4:1 ratio 30 minute class, but I soon saw that this experience is different than other swim classes we have taken elsewhere in the past. My kids are motivated to learn and are progressing after two months of lessons. Showers, changing rooms, hairdryers and shampoo make it easy to get swimming lessons done and fresh clothes on in less than an hour.
