Recently, we were on our way to a birthday party when I realized our 7pm swim class just wasn't going to happen. That familiar stress kicked in--figuring out logistics, worrying about rescheduling, and hoping it wouldn't turn into a back-and-forth. But it didn't. I was able to quickly text and reschedule for the next day--no hassle, no long explanations, no friction. That level of flexibility and ease matters more than people realize. It's not just about swim lessons--it's about working with a place that understands real life and makes you feel like you matter. Highly recommend Goldfish Swim School for any parent looking for both quality instruction and a truly supportive experience.

Teachers would waste the entire lesson fixing goggles and just spinning the student in a circle in the water and not actually teaching anything. It was also always really busy and there were so many kids in the pool at a time- it was very overwhelming. We switched to another franchise location and it has been night and day! Also, while I appreciate the business reply, that wasn't us. We attended all lessons that were paid for and we left in 2025.

Many staff members around to ensure kids safety. The instructors we have are great. They have a good connections with kids. Almost all students are happy to be there.

Highly recommend for kids who are beginners.

She loved her first swim lesson, and we decided to enroll in a weekly class. The swimming experience has been great so far. She learned a lot of skills within a month and already moved on to Glider 2. The facility itself is amazing. Lots of parking spots outside. Inside the building it's kept warm and humid. They have lots of changing rooms, restrooms and a hair drying station with 6 dryers. The huge pool has several lanes and a separate section for family swimming. Every half an hour they operation multiple classes for different levels, while multiple supervisors and lifeguards monitor each swimmer. After each lesson, they also provide rating on the performance of the swimmer. The app also makes it easy to manage class enrollment, transfers and putting in absent notice. They also offer discounts rates as promotions sometimes, like in October second class enrollment had 35% off. The staff members at the desk are super helpful and always try to give the guests the best service. No surprise that they continue to be so popular for kids' swimming classes.

None of this behavior was shown to my son - They are the bullies

You see Goldfish swim school all over the country, so they must be doing something right. My 4 year…read moreold boy with a very short attention span has been taking lessons once a week since August 2023. A lesson is 30 minutes long and there is usually one instructor teaching 4 kids and the last 5 minutes the instructor gives the parents the update. So technically, each kid gets about 6 minutes per lesson. Just like learning everything else, if you want your kids to do well, you have to then practice during the week. The staff is always nice and helpful. His instructor is very patient and is very good with kids and getting them to do things. The pool is heated and lessons are all year round. I don't have any complaints but just know your kids are only getting about 6 minutes per week. You just have to be patient and teach your kids on the side. They will get there eventually.

If you have toddlers DO NOT GO HERE. British Swim School,…read morehas repeated service failures and misleading practices by resulting in my toddler son not receiving proper swim instruction for over two months--despite the business manager **** continuing to charge me without providing the promised service. The issues began when all of the senior swim instructors at our location quit. Since then, my son has been placed with instructors who clearly lack the proper training or experience--especially in working with toddlers. Initially, we were asked to continue lessons at a Hampton Inn pool, which was both under construction and in unsanitary condition. Despite that, I continued the lessons. My son was then assigned to an instructor with no toddler experience. After raising my concerns, I was promised he would be paired with a more experienced instructor moving forward. Later, I was told my son would be paired with ****, the manager and lead swim trainer. However, when we arrived, my son was pushed aside to accommodate a new client's child and was instead handed off to a novice instructor who arrived 15 minutes late. That session involved no structured lesson--just my son being aimlessly tossed around in the water, without any of the promised instruction or protocol. At the very next session, my son was already in the water when I was told he wasn't even on the schedule. Once again, he was assigned to a random, inexperienced instructor--despite prior assurances of consistent, qualified instruction. Throughout this entire period, British Swim School has continued to collect payments, offers no refunds, and has not taken any meaningful action to resolve the issue. My son has been continually dismissed and underserved, and I've paid for services we clearly have not received. This feels like a complete breach of trust and, at this point, borders on fraud.

Our instructor, Elliot, is absolutely amazing--so patient, energetic, and clearly passionate about working with babies. He makes every class fun and engaging, while also making sure each child feels safe and supported in the water. The facility itself is clean, warm, and perfect for little ones. I love how the lessons are structured in a way that builds water confidence through songs, games, and gentle guidance. It's been incredible to watch my baby become more comfortable and curious in the water with each session. These classes have not only helped my son start building foundational swim skills but have also become such a special bonding time for us each week. I couldn't recommend Goldfish more highly to any parent looking to introduce their baby to swimming in a safe and encouraging environment!

They not only fed one of our sons (who has many anaphylactic allergies ), one of his main listed anaphylactic allergens which resulted in us having to medicate him for an anaphylactic reaction, they also kept one of his home-packed lunches over a weekend and then FED him the OLD leftover moldy lunch on the following Monday instead of the new lunch we sent in, despite him complaining to one of the staff in the cafeteria that it didn't taste right, and with our other twin? One of the teenage camp counselors was tired of him taking so long to catch up with the rest of the group (he was lagging behind due to chronic congenital knee problems- he's had seven total knee surgeries as of now at age 14, then was 7 and had already had two knee surgeries), so the camp staff pushed him down a wet slope to hurry him along, causing him to fall on his arm, which caused a buckle fracture= BREAKING HIS ARM. Our son told us a few years later that the counselor kid was frustrated with him and pushed him down the slope and that was why he fell (the camp told us he was "running, racing with the camp staff" ). If we had known at the time, we would've sued (and we've never sued anyone). DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!!! I will never, ever recommend this camp to anyone. I normally do not post poor reviews, however this camp scarred us. We've never sent our kids to any other camps after our experience here due to the threats they posed to our kids' safety and health. Our kids have pled with us over the years to go to camps and the same old phrase pops up: "No guys, remember Gate Hill?" Followed by: "Oh Yeah." They ruined summer camps for us as a family. Please look elsewhere. No matter how fun or friendly a place is, it's not worth jeopardizing your children's well being, safety or lives. Pictures included to legitimize review. Blurred faces for privacy. You can see Gatehill's digital album at the top of the screen.

On a day to day basis the Camp runs like a well oiled machine providing the children with a wide variety of activities and different themes for each day. They add some nice personal touches by providing daily summaries of what the kids did each day and text message updates to let you know if the buses are running behind due to traffic. As parents, we couldn't be happier that our son is growing as a person, learning different sports and games and making great friends in a safe and beautiful environment .
