My little brother has learned so much from the instructors and his ability to swim is amazing he recently moved to the swim force and I couldn’t be more proud. He says his favorite thing about the place is how he is always learning something new and how friendly everyone is. Wish there was a place like this when I was growing up. Thank you to everyone who makes this happen for the little ones!

My family has been a member of the Yorktown goldfish swim school since shortly after it’s initial opening. Our two sons Anthony and Alexander attend weekly classes. We have had outstanding experiences with this school. First, the facility is world-class. We feel privileged to have such an outstanding swim school in our town. The facility is always clean and the features within the school are amazing. It’s good to know that ownership is investing in the business and continue to maintain a great facility. We have had great experiences with all staff members. The front desk is always available to help and all swim instructors are professional. The staff members all seem passionate about completing their jobs and they all have positive work ethics. The positive work culture is displayed through all the communication we have with each of the staff members. Also, it goes a long way to hear “Hello” and “Goodbye” when walking in and out past the front desk. I recently took notice of this over the last few visits. As a parent, who is constantly reminding his 6 and 4-year-old sons to “Be polite,“ I truly appreciate hearing this when visiting the facility. It’s a simple gesture that goes a long way! Overall we have had great experiences with the Yorktown swim school. Our sons truly love attending their classes and have become extremely comfortable in the water. This is a result of an excellent facility, dedicated staff, and overall great leadership.

Both my sons Eamon and Ronan absolutely love going swimming at Goldfish. We love how the swim teachers get to know the kids and really get them to work hard and enjoy the class. Also recently the mangers went out of their way to accommodate my kid's schedule and came up with a class that will work for them. We love Goldfish.

Late last year, I happened to see the Goldfish sign on my way to work. My children were on hiatus from the Town of Cortlandt’s swimming program and I needed a place for them to continue learning how to swim during the winter months. I researched the program online and was absolutely thrilled to the 1:4 teaching ratio. We have been in attendance for a year. Each weekend, my husband and I watch and cheer from the sidelines as we see the awesome progression of not being able to float to doing backstrokes. The program has created strength in our children that reaches beyond the pool as they strive to advance in other aspects of their young lives. We look forward to their continued swimming abilities.

My son started your classes less than three months ago afraid of putting his head under the water and very apprehensive of being in the water without an adult holding him. In the 12 short weeks, he has been at your school, I have seen his confidence soar. He goes under the water for fun now and actually relaxes enough to practice floating. The small class sizes are great because he gets a lot of attention, which he needed. Thank you!

First I would like to thank you so much for opening this great swimming facility in our community. We were missing this great, warm environment not only for our children but for our families. We joined Goldfish at its first-month opening and I wasn’t sure how it was going to be, considering it was a cold month of December. Luckily I was very surprised in a positive way. My daughter Melissa has learned how to swim in her first few months of taking swimming lessons for the first time, which is a very important survival skill and a wonderful sport. Not only this skill has made a difference in our daughter’s life. We have been taking advantage of the family swim, which has brought a lot of family quality time, bonding and fun all year long. Goldfish is a warm environment, with very friendly and flexible staff. I appreciate all the family events you provide for our community and it has brought a lot of families together. Thank you for bringing connection, life skills and fun to Yorktown. We love Goldfish!

I enrolled my granddaughter at Goldfish swim school because she was incredibly afraid of going into any pool no matter how deep and swimming is an essential skill. She started her first day scared but the instructor was able to gain her trust immediately. My granddaughter was so happy she asked if she could go back. We just completed our first month and she has made remarkable progress. She's not afraid anymore, looks forward to her sessions, and is picking up the skills well. She loves the instructors, she says they make it fun and do games. I love that the instructor is patient and attentive. The lifeguard is super vigilant when instructors are with a student in the water. The facility is cleaned repeatedly after each session, social distance and covid19 precautions followed, and I like that the seating area is behind the glass so I can watch but not distract. The staff is warm and inviting and I have to say they are very accommodating to my needs in particular. I'm an NYC Paramedic and my schedule rotates with 12 hr shift. The Goldfish staff worked with the schedule to make it possible for us to attend her sessions. I think that was above and beyond service. I highly recommend this swim school.

My daughters started swim lessons in January. Both were very nervous in the water. The staff at Goldfish Swim School were patient and gentle with them. Through the program, my daughters began going under the water and started the techniques of swimming independently. I would highly recommend placing your children into this program. Even with the pandemic, the staff has gone above and beyond to keep a clean environment and an engaging swim program.

Within one month of classes at Goldfish YH, my daughter went from being terribly afraid of putting her face in the water to swimming fully independently underwater the entire width of the pool. Thank you to all the instructors for giving her the confidence she needed. She is now motivated to learn and making progress each and every time she steps into Goldfish!

My son has been attending swim lessons for a month now. He is 2 years old and has always been nervous around the pool, or anything larger than the bathtub. The facility is kept extremely clean and has excellent protocols put in place for social distancing and to avoid overcrowding. Everyone has been very friendly. At our first lesson, I loved that the temperature of the pool was very inviting for my son, and Annabelle was extremely kind and patient with us during our first lesson and every lesson since. She always has a smile on her face, is always willing to modify her instruction when my son gets distracted. She remains positive and encouraging as he continues to practice going underwater. My son is always excited to go to his lessons each week, and I have already noticed a positive change in his attitude towards going swimming in the pool now, and how he is able to kick his feet to swim in my arms. We love it at Goldfish Swim School!
