The teachers are all so encouraging. We started with classes as soon as they allow babies in the pool (4 months)!

From the moment we walked in for the first time, we felt welcomed, and our son was so excited. The staff made every step seamless and comfortable for our 3.5-year-old. Crystal at the front desk was so kind to him. Curran has been a fantastic instructor, and our son is so excited to go and always wants to stay longer. He's smiling the entire time. Most importantly, he's learning and becoming more comfortable each week. Thank you!

My child has benefited immensely from going to Goldfish. She was a total no swimmer when she started and now she’s got beginner skills & getting across the pool on her own. Very pleased with the instructors and facilities.
