Jenna L.

A very honest review for infant swim lessons (infant to 18 months). Pros: I think goldfish swim academy is a wonderful place, specifically for older children** It's very clean, the instructors are great, and the cost is very fair. There are many different options to schedule your weekly lessons. Cons: I do not think this is a great place for infants and ISR survival swimming. The group lesson is basically the same every single week. There is no change in skills. It's a parent/child lesson, so you as the parent (who probably has no ISR training), is in charge of teaching your child. Additionally, the babies are not taught ISR survival swimming. It's also very chaotic in the pool, my son had a hard time playing attention watching all of the other kids in their lanes swimming. Lastly, it was extremely difficult to hear our instructor because the pool area is very loud. I always had to ask her to repeat herself until I learned that every class was the same so I memorized it. Personal experience - my son started at goldfish at 13 months, and went once per week for 30 mins for 3 months. He hasn't learned much at all, other than sometimes being ok with his head going under water. Three friends of ours sent their children of the same age to a personal ISR certified instructor and by 6 weeks, all of them were independently swimming with their heads under water and turning onto their backs confidently in survival mode. I took my son of out goldfish and plan to start this instead. This new program is one single instructor with your child and teaching them breathing techniques and getting them comfortable with being uncomfortable - which is very hard for the parent to do alone. I wish we had a better experience. I initially chose goldfish even though it was 35 mins from our home, because of the rave reviews. I think for older children 3+ it could be great, but definitely not ideal for babies learning ISR. ISR requires a lot more structure and more than once a week for our little ones to truly retain muscle memory. Hope this helps anyone else in the same boat as us!

Floating on her own unprompted.

Friendly staff and great program. It may be more expensive then the city pool programs but it's more convenient and possibly more efficient. I have seen leaps and bounds of improvement in my daughter in just 3 lessons. My first daughter learned the daily city pool way. My second child is going the goldfish route. It's just so less stressful for me. I may sign her up for daily lessons to give her more opportunity to swim, but I will also stay with Goldfish once a week. Their approach is more my speed. Munchies received progress reports and (again) I have seen improvements in very little Update: after 4 lessons my 4 year old is floating on her own (in swimmies in this picture, but it's still a big deal!) Thus is a kid who didn't really like to float or put her head in the water. Now she is trying! And with our help swims with out floating and she is happy about it!

5 mos and learning how to float
Camille B.

We started going here since my daughter was 5 months old. Although her Pediatrician advises at 6 mos., my husband & I were so eager to have her started the lesson ASAP since most of our recreational activities are either near the water or in the water. It's up to the parents when they want to, this swim school accepts as early as 4 months. If I knew that, we would've enrolled her sooner. I've nothing but good experience from this swim school. From the trainer, facilities, management all 5 star. They follow carefully regulations, which I think is over the top sometimes, but that's how they take care of the students, that's how they do business, and thats why parents and kids love this swim school! There is no perfect business, and even though it's 20 mins drive from home, we'll stay with Goldfish until I'm confident that my daughter can survive in the water on her own.

Parent waiting area

I noticed this swim school being built a few months ago when I brought my son to monkey Joe's. It is in the same shopping plaza as monkey Joe's, dollar general, and Broadway's pizza. I took my son for his second lesson today at Goldfish swim school. They had their grand opening this week and are still working out their kinks, but I am very happy so far with the facility and the instruction my son has received. I really love that all prices are clearly listed on their website, and that for the older kids in the toddler classes and up the parent doesn't have to go in the water. This facility also does parties on the weekends, and has family swim time on Friday afternoons (5$ per person, not to exceed 15$ for the whole family). When we signed up for lessons they gave us two free family passes which is great.

Where they teach the little ones to swim. The pool is of good temperature. It has many floating .. it has a good height. The facilities are in good condition. Offers hair washing services when you leave the pool.

Ask the Community - Goldfish Swim School

I'm confused about the group programs. Is it 4 classes for $145? With the registration fee?

Hello! Our group lessons are $30 per lesson charged on a monthly basis. Depending on when your lesson is, there may be a month where you have 5 lessons in 1 month rather than 4. There is also an annual membership fee of $25. If you have any… Read more

I was a little concerned in the beginning about how much he would learn, after all he was only 18 months. I can tell you from first hand experience it is an AMAZING program. The first summer he did 6 weeks of lessons. By the end of six weeks he could swim the short way across a pool. After 5 weeks of lessons he fell:jumped into a friends pool with no adults in the pool (this scared me to death!). He made it to the side of the pool quicker than I could get in to save him. That sold me on the program. I grew up as a competitive swimmer, it amazes me how far he has come in 4 years. He has learned all the strokes, has learned a love for the pool (most days we can't get him out), and can't wait to grow more as a swimmer. This melts my heart that Patriot Aquatics has fostered this love in him. Between Michelle and Caitlin, we couldn't ask for more loving teachers who really get to know their students and work on the skills they each need independently. My oldest has flourished so well in their program we now have our 21 month old in the program too. I can't wait to see how he grows as a swimmer this summer!

Strike 1: the trainer Stefan and the nutritionist Matt were with my girlfriend at the time for 3 hours, and sold her a training and nutrition package without my consent. It doesn't take 3 hours to over "membership stuff." Strike 2: I cancelled my ex girlfriend's membership (obviously) and they charged my account for the nutrition and training after cancelling. They promised to pay me back in 3-5 business days 2 weeks ago, and I'm over getting the run around: you can charge my card when you want my money but you don't have my card on file when I want my money back. Staff hours are 9am-8pm and after 1pm, there are no managers. Strike 3: I was sexually harassed in the sauna. When I brought it up to the security guard, he told me to leave him alone. I returned the next day informing the staff, and they informed me that guy didn't even scan in. So non members are allowed to harass members in the sauna? Got it. I don't feel safe, I don't trust them with my money; not to mention that plates are never put back where they belong, revamped studio is not watched over; most importantly, I don't appreciate being harassed by trainers who seem like they got their training certification off of TikTok. And since you guys kept nagging me to give a review, here you go. See you predators soon when I cancel my membership.
