Turnover rate of swim instructors is moderate. There have been two instances in two years where swim instructors suddenly resigned causing my children to have to have a new teacher. Adjusting to new teacher is difficult for toddlers.

“The entire staff is very warm and welcoming and my daughter's primary instructor so far has been Nate, and he's been fantastic. He engages all the kids, makes it very fun, and keeps the class balanced between teaching the infants basic kicking and pulling skills with having fun. I had some concernsthat I expressed after my daughter's trial class, but the Sales and Service Manager Dzesika really went beyond my expectations in making sure we had a positive experience. Take your child here, it's a great time!"

Hi being a mother of a special needs child is never easy, when I was asked by my son's doctor to start swim lessons for my 7 year old non verbal autistic son I really didn't knew where to go,his doctor suggested Gold Fish Swim School and we thought of giving it a try. I'm so happy we made this decision, the staff is very friendly and supporting, the environment is clean and calm the best part is my son loves to go for his classes. Thanks again Gold Fish Swim School 🙌
