However, during a recent swimming class, another parent made a comment to my husband saying that our son was "so rough." My husband does not speak or understand much English, so at the moment he didn't fully understand what she was saying or how rude the comment came across. Once he explained it to me, I was honestly very disappointed. My son is still a young child who is learning, playing, and getting comfortable in the water. If there was a genuine concern, there are much kinder and more respectful ways to communicate it. As parents, I think we should all have a little more patience and understanding with other people's children. Kids are still learning, and comments like that are unnecessary--especially when directed toward a parent who may have difficulty understanding the language.

We've been to a few different swim schools in Bergen County, this is one of the more centrally located ones, being right off Rt17 and the GSP. Being fairly new, the facilities are very clean and bright, well equipped with spacious storage and changing rooms, with very friendly staff. Hours are very good so you should be able to find a time that works for you. There's even a small kids play area for those with antsy little ones. Price seems to be a bit higher than a few other places, but not surprising considering how new and clean it is here. But good overall.

I like this swim school. No nonsense ... Just swimming. My son gets a workout in a small class (2…read moreto 3 kids max) and they do 1 hour time slots. The Olympic size pool is clean and well kept as are the brand new locker rooms and showers. Nina and Ken are very responsible managers and they hire their swim team students as instructors -- I find it is easier to build relationships and trust when older youngsters mentor younger kids. Forget the YMCA or the overhyped "learn to swim" programs that cost twice as much. This is a great deal! Swimming is a life skill. I for one feel obligated to facilitate that learning experience for our boys. So far, so good.

I was excited to have my children begin swimming lessons. As per the website, I emailed the…read moreProgram Director to register my children. I never heard back.

Lesson of this story is: If you can't handle returning an email, there is no way I will trust you with my check or with children in a swimming pool.

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.

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.

There is still a lack of AC but as the weather changes that becomes less of an issue (for now). Just about every staff member I've come across here is very nice, polite and helpful. They treat the kids that come here well and they seem to look out for them -so for those reasons I think it's a great place. Reasonable monthly fees and a variety of classes are a bonus. Fitness center is average but clean with decent machines. You can get a good workout here, take a swim, and play ball here without breaking the bank. They provide clean towels as well. Very cost-effective.

In this location they did not have the children engaged in the activities and were not paying attention to them. We paid a lot of money for the camp but it did not meet our expectations. If you are looking forward to having your child have a good time during camp do not enroll them at this location. They reached out to the parents and said that out of 20 kids, there was a group of 10 kids who not engaged or paying attention. I believe if 50% of the children are not engaged, they need to change the activities to make them more interesting to the children.

My concern regarding an incident at Hackensack Meridian Fitness in which I believe I was subjected…read moreto inappropriate harassment and interference because of the message written on my shirt. I was confronted by a male member who appeared to be upset about what was written on my shirt\. Whatever his personal disagreement may have been with the message, I believe I have the right to peacefully wear clothing expressing my views, provided that the message does not violate a legitimate, neutral facility rules. I did not threaten this individual, make threats against anyone, or engage in conduct intended to cause harm\. I also dispute any characterization of my shirt or my expression as "slander\." Slander generally concerns a false spoken statement about another person that causes legally cognizable harm; merely wearing a shirt containing an opinion, political statement, or other expression is not automatically slander. More importantly, I am concerned about the broader pattern of what I perceive as interference with my rights. On a prior occasion, I believe a woman interfered with my ability to pray. I now feel that I am being confronted over what I choose to wear and express on my clothing. These incidents have caused me to question whether I am being treated differently because of my religious beliefs, identity, or viewpoint.

They had labs full of equipment and I could start my new career in 9 months and didn't have filler classes like English or psychology. Even after starting I was skeptical at first because I've been to schools that didn't live up to expectations but Lincoln Tech far exceeded my expectations. The teachers are knowledgeable, helpful, and experienced. They know what employers are looking for and how to help you get what you need. I have a couple months to go before I graduate and already have my A+ certification and I'm working on getting my Network+ before I graduate. I now have a clear idea of what career paths are before me and what certs I can work on to get there because of the instructors here at Lincoln Tech. The course is great for all skill levels whether you are new to computers or have some experience you will find yourself constantly learning something new and overcoming some challenge. I would highly recommend this school to anyone interested in IT.
