I have 3 children aged 9-13, and we have ended up at 5 different swim instruction locations since…read morethe 13-year-old was 3 or 4. I've found that each school has good things and things they could do better on. This year we found Goldfish. Things we liked: -Super friendly staff -Cute and well decorated place -4-day swim camp that was super easy to get my younger two in at the same time Things that weren't our favorite: -The lanes are a little on the short side - perfect for younger kids, but not great for my taller, older kids. -At other swim training places, I've noticed more hands-on swim correction. Here it was more - acting out the correct swim position. I think both are helpful. Are we returning? We're still deciding.

Both pools are lightly used in the early afternoon, if you can get here before 3pm you will have your own lane and maybe even an entire pool to yourself.

My son refused to get in the water and rather than saying "ok see you next week, good luck with…read morethat," two ladies at the front desk (a manager and a teacher) took the time to engage him and entice him into the water and get him comfortable.

The pool water and the pool area are vey comfortable for the swimmers and the family members waiting. They also have all of the Anne ties you might need such as showers, swim suit swimmers and plenty changing rooms. The one thing I don't love is that they advertise a 30 minute lesson but they don't usually start my daughter's class until about 5-6 min after the start of the hour but and exactly at 30 past the hour. Also, they have between 1-4 kids per plane, so that also limits how much swimming time they actually get. I wish there was more consistency.

I picked this gym after doing a trial at IGM gymstnastics (and we live very close to IGM) b/c my child liked this one better and seemed to connect with the coaches here. When we started, the coaches were very good. Slowly, they put some of the coaches that are either not good with kids or less experienced. I put our child in gymnastics this early not so he could be the next Olympian but for the 'discipline' and 'exercise.' I would appreciate if the coaches for the child program actually enjoys working with kids and understand kids. My child is far from perfect but the program has gone downhill a bit and that's making me think twice about paying close to $22/lesson.

We did not enjoy our experience there and when talking about our concerns to an employee and they were difficult to communicate with. It was an unwelcoming environment with workers giving use looks and laughing at use when we tried using the equipment they provided. We were very disappointed and will not be coming back.
