How they got my nervous, crying toddler to calm down and smile and swim in such a short amount of time should be studied. Some people are born to work with kids, and that's everyone we've met at Goldfish. They offer a free trial class. Definitely check it out if you want to have your child learn to enjoy swimming. Note: this is not ISR swimming. They do not just toss your kid into the pool and see what happens. A lot more acclamation to water vs immediate immersion..

Lifeguards and staff are friendly. Pools and common areas super clean. Overall it's a vast improvement over my NY Y. I'd have given 5 starts for the lack of interest in my complaint: Request the therapy pool (jets treadmill) guests wear headphones or buds instead of blasting their music. People yesterday all wore earplugs because one entitled woman insisted on playing her music. "We've gotten a lot of complaints about her" the desk said. Yet nothing is done. Just a simple request! I've never experienced such complete selfishness - yet they don't care and allow the space to be dominated by loud inconsiderate guests. Headphones are cheap. This person isn't autistic just a creep.

I actually loved this place until the pandemic hit. I needed to do water walking and with the…read morelength of the instructional pool that was one depth, it was perfect for me to complete this 3-4 times a week in the evening. Then the pandemic hit and all of that stopped. When they did open back up it was only for lap swimming which was in the part of the pool that was too deep for me to walk and whenever I asked about open swim and walking lanes, they never had an answer. Now they only have about two days from 8:00-8:30 pm which is a small window to make sure I can get there and be ready to go in the pool. I am really disappointed because I have yet to find another pool facility in the area that comes close to offering what I need and I can really tell the difference in my pain levels.

We rented the Little Fish Swimming Pool in Fredericksburg (Central Park) location. I must say, I…read morewas very impressed with the location and the space. The children had a great time. Little Fishers provided 2 pizzas and some drinks from The local pizza place. We weren't sure if it would be enough, so we ordered more. Little Fish provided more than enough pizza for all the kids, the parents and probably some random people in the street. Everything for my son'3rd party was great except the TV's in the party areas did not work. It is hard to left 2-4year old attentive when they are finished swimming. We wanted to show Mickey's Fun House on the TV's. We talked to the staff on numerous occasion and still didn't get any assistance or even a discount for lack of TV. Other than that, I enjoyed the party, but would caution people to verify the everything works. On a good note all the kids were provided with floaties and splash splashed until they could splurge splash anymore

He's normally terrified to get in the water but with the help of his coaches he was begging for more pool time! I couldn't believe it! The team was very helpful in explaining all the rules and how kid's progress to the next levels. His coach was extremely patient and fun! My only "complaint " was the pool entrance wasn't clearly marked , only the back side door was unlocked so we were scrambling for 10 minutes trying to figure out how to get inside.

My 2-year-old daughter previously took swim lessons at Goldfish and LOVED her experience there. We…read moregot a gift card from a friend to Aqua Tots and decided to give it a shot. We took one class here and it completely traumatized her. It was not explained to us that Aqua Tots uses a "pro submersion" technique. On her first class, a stranger held her under water for 5 seconds. She screamed and cried. (Wouldn't you if a stranger held you under water?!) She told us for days that she didn't want to swim anymore. We returned to Goldfish and, after 3 weeks of warming up to it, she is back to loving the water (and goes under of her own free will.) She still tells us to this day that she doesn't want to see the "mean" teachers at Aqua Tots again. We reached out to Aqua Tots to see if this is their normal practice. They explained that it is. That's fine- we obviously do better with the teaching methods used at Goldfish. BUT they refused to issue a refund for the remaining months that I had pre-paid as all sales are final. Lesson learned: DO not pre-pay in advance until you give it a try. And (in my opinion) go to Goldfish instead.

We paid for the reservation in person 12 days before the scheduled day. We never reserved here, so it was the first. On the scheduled day, for my daughter's 16th birthday celebration, we showed up with our party supplies and her group of friends. We were met with a "closed until further notice, due to maintenance". No phone call, no message left on our voice-mail. Thank you for nothing, and thank you for a very upset 16 year old. This is inexcusable. I HAD to select a star to post review..if it were my choice, NO STAR DESERVED.

Beware of Janet! I had two interactions with this person and both were negative. After the second…read moreI immediately asked to cancel my membership. One of the other staff members asked me to wait and to speak with the GM Sasha. Later in the evening I asked to speak to her but she was gone for the day so I asked for another manager, who happened to be Janet! She was eager to have another staff member cancel it for me without even making an attempt to apologize or ask me to reconsider. Before leaving the gym, I asked for Sasha to reach out to me the next day, but when 3:30 pm rolled around I had not heard from her so I called her. She didn't even make an attempt to ask what had happened or why I was so angry that I asked to cancel my membership so quickly. She also knew exactly who I was because she never even asked for my name which means she had gotten the message about reaching out and chose to ignore it. I don't want to bash all the staff as most are very nice and welcoming, but I would have expected more from the club leadership. I would also note that if your considering joining the men's locker room Sauna has not worked for years now and the club leadership doesn't seem to have any plan or intention on fixing it.

Second, if the outside temperature does influence the pool's temperature, then why is it still cold (83 degrees vs 86 degrees)? The shower on the men's side is still closed due to an unsafe and inoperable light fixture. The sauna has been closed for months. And, now the hot tub has an inoperable piece. Maintenance has to be a top priority to keep customers happy. Too many of my swimming buddies are going elsewhere.
