“This is where to go if you want your kid to learn and advance, quickly. The coaches support them less and less over time so the child is forced to work (as appropriate of course - my son is 3). I really appreciate this. I have spent a lot of time and money at another facility where it's like they're afraid for the kid to swim, and encourage the use of fins or flotation belts. Not at Goldfish - just swimming and survival techniques. They also have extra people watching the water or helping - a lifeguard, another instructor, etc. So if your kid is in a full class, there's sometimes less waiting for their turn. Or if they're new swimmers there are extra eyes on the water. They also have someone on deck doing evaluations frequently - so you can see exactly what your swimmer can and can't do. And exactly what they need to master to get to the next level. The facility is very clean and very cute, and they've made it very safe during these covid times - face shields on instructors, masks on the staff, and it's a huge place to be able to watch your swimmer and be distanced. We moved 20 minutes away and I still drive down - it's so worth it.”
