I cannot believe after being a Goldfish Swim family for almost 3 years and counting I have not…read morereviewed them. We started looking for a place to teach our daughter to swim when she was 6 months old. At the time, there was not much selection other than a few Groupon options with baby/toddler swimming classes at the "Lighthouse" gym or some sketchy lessons that always seemed to change locations at the last minute. I'm not saying people where running swim classes out of subdivision pools... but the swim lesson seen was a bit dicey. But then enter Goldfish Swim School. The facility is bright, clean and fun. The mascot, a goldfish named Bubbles, is everywhere with a welcoming grin. The pool area is 3 1/2 to 4 ft deep with a ledge on the two longest sides. The areas are blocked off by lanes that can be moved to fit class sizes and removed all together for family swim night. The water is warm all year round. When you enter, you are greeted by the staff. Sherri is a joy and I look forward to seeing her. There are dressing rooms that remind me of beach shacks and ample places to get ready for class and to dry off after. There are two machines that spin dry the suits. The swim teachers are assigned lanes and there are various levels of skill. When our daughter first stared in 2017, she was in a beginner class that focused on following instructions, floating, getting comfortable in the water, and getting to the side of the pool, and pulling yourself out of the pool. Teacher use ribbons to reward and encourage students. Students receive a prize at the end of class, ranging from coloring sheets, stickers, ribbons, toy Bubbles, and so on. There is a snack concession area. The snacks are reasonably priced and you can buy a punch card for $10.00. Students receive a special birthday present in the mail. There is a viewing are for families to sit and watch. After the lesson, the teaching visits with each students' family member to discuss the class and what they do well and what needs work. Many teachers really start to understand your kid's learning style and it is a joy to see the teacher and student click. Our daughter is currently in Glider 2 and hopefully will be advancing soon. She has also been in the jump start clinic a few times; a 5 day a week one-on-one class. I highly recommend this. Again, we love everything about this place.

TLDR: we're hooked!…read more Swim up over here and let me tell you a little story. Maybe you've been to some other indoor swim schools... so have I. And I thought those were great... but that was before I'd been to Goldfish. My little tadpoles are finally in formal lessons, and we are so excited to get to start here. There is so much focus on safety, which is like 90% of what I care about in a swim situation. Small classes (just a few kids per instructor) and then a lifeguard standing sentry right at the end of the lane. Other supervisors were also nearby, and it was very easy to see where the money goes: the facility is state of the art and spotless, and there was so much staff both in and out of the water. My kids loved it and didn't want to leave, but they've even thought of that, with a fun little prize to take when you leave if you're cool about it. Add in family swim night, and I think this is a place we'll spend a lot of time and money, and feel mighty good about it.

I have had my children in swimming lessons with OSA intermittently for the last 4 years (started my…read more4 year old in the mommy-and-me at 3 months old and then 1:1 at 2 years and my 2 year old has been in lessons since she was 1.5 years old). My oldest goes once a week and can swim across a pool without assistance (just safety monitoring). My two year old can float and roll onto her back, etc. She goes 2 times a week. Here are my opinions and recommendations: The staff are all amazing with kids. I have never had an issue. And my kids have worked with many of the instructors. Love them all. The prices are all online and the company is transparent about their prices. Honestly, though, for being 1:1 with an instructor, I dont think they are that bad. Only thing I would tell a new parent is that your kid will not like their swimming lessons for 1-2 weeks. They will cry. Mine did, a lot. Just give them time to get adjusted. I personally feel that swimming lessons are very important, from a safety standpoint... plus it ends up being fun.

From customer service, to swim instructors to my kiddos survival swim skills obtained, it has been a great experience. Survival swim can be challenging for kids (and parents) but the amount of love, care and intention poured into my kids, the instructors and lessons was evident. My kids learned a love for safe swimming and that is worth an immeasurable amount to us! We live far but believe the near hour drive has been well worth being at OSA! Would definitely recommend.

It was clear to me that this shop is all about their passion and they are willing to share all that they know/do with all who want to learn. I also got to see my first ever SHARK KITTY (see photo). I am excited that Dana gave both my sister and I a really cool Sea Shanty sticker. Mine is already on my car and I am sure I will smile ear-to-ear every time I see it. This is a really neat shop.
