    “The staff at Goldfish are exceptional, the water is comfortable and the class sizes are small. Within a few lessons, the whole staff addressed Hailey by name, making her feel so special. We will be forever grateful for receiving such high-quality lessons from Goldfish. We recommend Goldfish to all our friends.”

    “My 4-year-old daughter has been attending Goldfish Swim School for the past few years. As a result the wonderful environment at Goldfish - excellent and cheerful teachers, warm water and air, and positive, child-oriented atmosphere - she quickly learned to love the water and feel entirely at home in the pool.”

    Fantastic with my Autistic Son!

    “I take my 8 year old Autistic Son to the Goldfish Swim School and they have been wonderful beyond what I could have ever imagined with him! I have been looking for years (not an exaggeration) to find somewhere for him to take swim lessons. They are so patient with him, and when he is having a bad day they just walk him through it and make it work. I have never seen them annoyed or upset with him and it is just wonderful to watch. As most parents with special needs children you understand how special it is to find a place that accepts your child for how they are. Which I think is perfect of course :) So thank you to everyone at Goldfish for all that you do!”

    Dedication and Trust

    “Today marked the 4th lesson my little Goldfish has had at the Goldfish Swim School. Overall, I went in scared after hearing other testimonials from friends on how they threw kids into pools and let them swim it out and I am so glad that I took the time to come here! The staff at Goldfish are exceptional! From check-in to the actual swim instructors this team is a well oiled machine! The water is comfortable and the class sizes are small. Within a few lessons, my little one went from complete fear of being in the water to floating, and and jumping in all by himself! Instructors know your little one by name, making them feel so special. My family and our son will be forever grateful for receiving such high-quality lessons from Goldfish. We recommend Goldfish to all our friends and family!”

    Great Experience!

    “I took my 7 year old son there for swim lessons and I was very impressed with the way his instructor took the time to help get use to the water. At first my son was hesitant but after the first 15 minutes of the assistance of his instructor, he was much calmer and became more relaxed to the water. My son’s fear of water is slowly going away. Thank you so much!”

    THANKS

    “My daughter Martina is enrolled in regular swim lessons and the jump star clinic from June 18th to June 22nd. I never could have believed that 30 minutes a day in 5 days swim lessons could produce the results that I have witnessed with my daughter. Martina started with Junior 2 and moved up to Gliders 3 in just one week!! It seems super crazy but it is truly amazing! We are so glad about that !!! Your swim program and instructors work miracles. I couldn't believe how quickly and easily how quickly the instructors were able to teach Martina. When our schedule gets hectic and needs to reschedule Martina's lessons and jump-start clinic for a couple of times, they have been a huge help, very supportive, and thoughtful. Many THANKS! I definitely would recommend Goldfish swimming to everyone I know!”

    Worth Every Penny

    “My daughter has been a student at Goldfish since she has was 8 months old. Her teachers have been outstanding. They always great us with a smile, and are very outgoing. We recently went on a family vacation to Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky, Ohio where we saw my daughter use all of the things she has learned at Goldfish over the years and made every penny spent on lessons well worth it. Keep up the great work!”

    Our daughter, Brielle (now 11 months old) is in the Mini 1 class. She loves it! My husband and I continue to be impressed with the wide range of class options, family swim times, level of instruction, friendly staff and inviting facility. This has been a t

    “Earlier this summer when Olympic skier Bode Miller's daughter drowned, it sparked an overwhelming concern. It pushed me to do more research on swim lessons and ask more questions around water safety. I was shocked to learn that drowning is the leading cause of death for children aged 1 - 4 years. Goldfish was recommended to our family by a friend and after a tour of the facility led by the general manager - it was a no-brainer for us to enroll our daughter. At 10 months old, our daughter Brielle took the plunge in the Mini 1 class! About one month in - we couldn't be happier with our decision. The level of instruction, inviting facility and friendly staff are unmatched.”

    Super Happy!

    “I have all three of my children in swim school at Goldfish and I could not be more pleased with the amazing facility, professional manner of the entire staff and the progress I have seen my kids make in their swimming. My youngest, who is three, was terrified of the deep end and going to the pool was a nightmare for me making sure the older two had fun but sitting in one foot of water every pool trip. Now, she loves swimming and is so confident and comfortable in the water. We are super happy with Goldfish. Thank you!”

    Best Place to learn how to swim

    “Once I walked in I knew this was the place for my son to learn how to swim. A big thank you to Debra for helping us sign up and booking my Son's first Birthday party at Goldfish swim school. Looking forward to the memories we will be creating here. ”

    “Was nervous how my daughter Hadley would do in the pool without me , but her instructor is amazing with the kids . They listen to him and have so much fun at same time . He provides amazing feedback to us afterwards. She loves her “ swim class “ and is gaining more confidence in the water.”

    Best Decision for my Apprehensive Fishies

    “Enrolling my 2 daughters into Goldfish may be one of the best decisions I've made for them thus-far. I've tried various swimming programs and to no avail, they simply didn't work. Goldfish has really set the standard for allowing kids to be comfortable in the water while learning the basics of swimming. I now have 2 little fishies (2yo & 8yo) that are excited and demanding that we go to swimming class more than they are scheduled. I am so grateful for Goldfish and can't wait to watch my girls finally embrace their time in the water!!!”

    Amazing place to have your kids learn to swim!!!

    “My son was taking lessons at a different school and I was so tired of always getting different instructors and him never advancing, and to say the front desk staff was awful to deal with is an understatement, at Goldfish swim school the staff could not be any more friendly or more welcoming!!! From the phone call to setting up his class, to the instructors EVERYONE was absolutely awesome!!! We walked out with my son asking when he can come back. This school is a God sent and so happy we found it. I can not say enough good things about this school and all the staff members. ”

    This place is amazing - the ONLY place I will bring my son to learn how to swim

    “I cannot say enough about this facility! Everything from the building to the amenities to the staff and the teachers. We have never had a bad experience here and everyone is always so helpful and cheerful. The few times my son did not have a good lesson experience, was because he was leary of a new teacher and not because the staff or teachers did anything. Yet, the teachers worked with him during the lesson and the deck advisor kept checking in on him throughout the lesson. The owner even came over to us following the lesson and offered a free make-up lesson! I was amazed by how well they handled that situation as well as those time that my toddler was acting out a few weeks in a row. Their level of patience exceeds my own at times. They know and remember our family and little personal traits about my son; I am so glad I found them. This is the third place I've brought my son since he was an infant and I will never leave! This place is worth every penny. I hope my son continues on to their swim team program and we can stay connected with them far into the future.”

    This place really has it together!!

    “This was our daughter's first lesson. Right from the start Goldfish is very welcoming. They explained everything in detail and our daughter even received a Gold fish t-shirt. The I instructors were quick to see the area she needs help in the most and adjusted her lesson around it. At the end of the lesson the instructor let us now what she needed to work on as well as what she did well. The amenities here are awesome as well with a bathing suit dryer and hair dryers, a snack bar and lounge areas for the parents. The best part is the glass divider in between the pool and the viewing area. It keeps the viewing area quiet which is a nice 30 min relaxation time for busy parents. We couldnt recommend a better swim class in the area!!!!!”

    Changed his view!

    “My 5 year old was afraid of getting water on his face and was not a fan of the swimming idea when he first started. However, in less than 6 months, not only did he love putting his face in the water, but he was swimming independently! Now swimming is one of his favorite activities and he is excited for the days he goes to class. His instructor has really worked with him and she has been as proud of his accomplishments as I have been! That’s how much they care about their students.”

    Kudos to Goldfish Swimming School

    “This summer my son has missed quiet a few sessions due to being sick, this past Saturday one of the young ladies informed me that because of his birthday he will be to old for the class he is presently in and will be moving up to another class. The staff is very courteous and his instructor is AWESOME although he still has some fear of water she's great at working with to get past his fears and relax. Kudos to the Goldfish family for the patient and understanding!!!!!!!!!”

    Amazing first time experience!

    “I just wanted to take a minute and tell you how amazing my first experience there was. Everyone from the front desk staff, to the instructor, to the lifeguard, and even some random guy in the lobby in a Goldfish Polo was so welcoming. My Travis is only 4 months old so this was my first time and I had no idea what to expect. They walked me through everything, showed me around the facility, and placed an arm band on me so everyone knew it was my first day. I couldn't believe all the things you can do with a 4 month old in a pool and was so impressed with the creativity. The instructor was so fantastic. I was understandably uncomfortable dunking my infant under the water but she explained how that worked and I was totally on board. I couldn't believe I was able to do that with him on the first day! I am totally hooked and absolutely cannot wait for next week! Thank you all so much for such a fantastic experience! You have a wonderful program for first-timers!”

    “I used to drag my son to his swim classes. With Goldfish, he is actually looking forward to go every week! He specially loves the warm(er) water and he describes the area as “fancy” with always a summer vibe. My daughter who is 4 never had feelings of apprehension. She was comfortable in the water on her 1st ever class. Big kudos to her instructors who are very compassionate!”

    Worth every bit!

    “I had my daughter in swim through Rochester School District and they’re just in it for the money. It was 8-10 students per class that’s ridiculous. After seeing how my daughter was struggling due to amount of student and lack of help from the instructors, I grew tired and went on the the hunt for actual swim schools. Came across Goldfish and I was immediately sold. Class group of size of 4 helped a lot with her learning and she went up a class her first day. Unlike Rochester School District the instructors were hands on and very passionate. My daughter has confidence boost and is now happy and and so am I.”

    Best swim school ever!

    “My 4 year old has autism spectrum disorder and gross motor skill delays. I first started her in Mini 1 as a baby and it's unbelievable how far she's come over the years. She's very smart but challenged socially, and her instructor was able to communicate with her on a whole new level. When she first started, she was afraid to get in the water. I think the 90-degree water temperature made it easier to learn to swim. She can also float on her back, which she used to be so scared of. The staff were also very accommodating toward her sensory issues (allowing for breaks, etc.) and she loves swim lessons. She's now in Glider 2.”

    “Our 3 year old daughter loves Goldfish! We were so excited to see weekly lessons begin again! I wasn’t sure what we were going to experience with the new changes, but I must say Goldfish is doing it RIGHT! The kids were welcomed with open “fins.” You can clearly see the extra time and effort being put in to ensure our safety and our daughter is already counting down to her next class! Thank you for continuing to make her experience so positive!”

    Great staff!

    “My son moved up to swim force right before covid hit and the shut down happened. After returning he was uneasy starting in the new class. His previous coach, Shane, saw how upset he was and stayed after his shift to get in the water with him. Sarah at the front desk was also helpful and talked him through everything and checked on him during class. We have been going to Goldfish in Macomb for 5 years with two kids and they have always been the best to work with. Thank you Goldfish for always making class a great experience and going above and beyond for our kids!”

    They don’t get rattled

    “I handed my screaming 2 year old grandson to the pool leader and she immediately said, “This is no problem, we deal with this all the time”. He continued to cry for 30 mins. His response was the same Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Then came Friday. No crying and he actually started floating and swimming a little. “They don’t get rattled”.”

    Amazing staff

    “My son has been coming to goldfish for a little over a year now. He has had multiple amazing teachers as he has progressed through classes. The facilities are great and the staff is amazing. There is a supervisor that is now over his class and she has blown us away with her extra effort. Amanda is is by far the supervisor that we have seen. She is vested in the students and genuinely cares for their progress and development. With covid limiting the communication between instructors and parents she has gone above and beyond to keep us informed of my sons progress as well as other parents. She has been amazing. And made the experience an awesome one! Thank you”

    Exceptional In Every Way

    “We have been going to Goldfish since Jan. 2022 with my then, very timid 6 year old and 22 month old. I cannot say enough good things about this school! Corey, Katie and the rest of the staff are always so friendly, welcoming and know each of my kids by name. They love listening to their accomplishments and praising them when they complete a milestone. The smiles of Corey and Katie, as well as the rest of the staff, has built up the confidence and trust my kids needed within a few lessons. My 6 year old has already moved up several levels and my now 2 year old is swimming without a parent. They both genuinely LOVE going to Goldfish for swim lessons, and they both have learned lifesaving skills in literally months if not weeks. Thank YOU East Salt Lake for being the best experience we've ever received in the 11 years of doing kids swimming lessons.”
