We have tried lessons in several places and have not had any luck with him acclimating. We had heard great things about Goldfish, and I told them I just wanted a trial class in case our son refused to participate. To our surprise, he loved the setting and has never resisted going to a swim lesson. He has been with Goldfish for a couple of months, and we could not be more thrilled with his progress! Thank you, Goldfish Swim School!

Poor value for money. I recommend looking elsewhere for swimming lessons for your children, unless…read moreyou're prepared to spend twice as much time and money for them to learn how to swim. While the instructors do their best, the lessons are very short and the instructors often seem distracted, frequently glancing at the parents. I was told this is due to corporate management policies. They were also not transparent about pricing, rushing you to sign a waiver that includes more costs. Overall, you may need to attend and pay twice as many sessions here for your children to achieve the same progress they would elsewhere.

I've been taking Raiden here since he was 9 months, and now he is comfortably swimming in our pool…read more I love the online scheduling for make up classes. Raiden attends twice a week. At level 1, i loved being in the water with him. At level 2 and beyond, the children are independent. Raiden is a level 4 swimmer now and the patient transition helps him physically and emotionally mature to apply the skills he is being taught. He is 32 months enrolled in the program. There were crying days, but most were happy days, and some hug days that were better spent skipping the lessons even though your dressed at the pool door. Yes, the coaches are humans and work with toddlers exclusively - it's noticeably not easy. As a parent I'm vigilantly watching Raiden grow in the pool as a second pair of eyes through the glass as it's Aqua Tots policy to stay in the facility. parents are the additional safety measure. our children are precious and I would never want to solely entrust my baby with any swimming coach during the early stages of the program. The skills learned here, learned early, are priceless and well beyond the other measured complaints I've read.

Overall: 20/10 The highest review I've ever given a…read morebusiness. Dominic Latella works miracles for swimmers! I took his "treading water" clinic and in 10 minutes, I was treading water effortlessly; something I've struggled doing for years and even after taking numerous lessons with private instructors (not affiliated with SwimBox). He's taught for 22+ years! and it shows. He simply knows how to coach all the minute details in swimming mechanics. I've always 'm someone with a high muscle to fat ratio and have ALWAYS sank like a rock. He taught me 3 styles to use my hands to tread and 4 styles using my feet. He demonstrated things in the water (such as corkscrews) that I've never seen/heard of before. He's very friendly and personable as well. I've taken the swim analysis and it was super helpful/beneficial. Looking forward to signing up for more classes! Highly recommend!

Another attempt at learning to tread water. Another rip off. My single goal was to learn to be able…read moreto jump into deep water and to swim back with my head above water. Basically, vacation-style swimming where you jump off a boat, tread for a bit, and swim back to the boat. I asked if I could learn this at SwimBox. I was told I could. If they don't teach this, they should have said so. Instead, I took 10 classes and was never taught either of these things. The instructor, as usual, wasted time in the beginning treating me like I'm afraid of water. I can already swim underwater and on my back (not expertly, of course). Instructors should start off with new swimmers by allowing them to show what they can already do vs. starting them with blowing bubbles and floating. At SwimBox, they have no incentive to move you along quickly since dragging out the lessons equals more classes, which equals more money for them. I gave the instructor the benefit of the doubt that she was teaching me some basic things I needed to know. However, as the classes went along, I noticed we were headed towards what I feared -- teaching me freestyle swimming and perfecting my form. This IS NOT what I asked to learn! I don't plan to swim laps or join the Olympics. When I clarified again that I wanted to learn to swim with my head above water, she dismissed that type of swimming as not real swimming. Well, that's how people swim socially and that's what I asked, upfront, to learn. Finally, I was lied to when I was told we would work on treading water, which is the MAIN THING that I wanted to learn. The pools are, obviously, not deep, but I was duped into believing I would still be taught. Each time I take swim lessons, they teach what they want to teach. I will just have to get a friend to teach me because formal instructors are apparently hard wired to teach every new swimmer freestyle. I wasted my money.

We sang songs, did stations, and finished with group time. It was just enough time to tire out my little guy. The instructor was great and was super helpful with making me and my baby feel comfortable. I loved learning new techniques to play with my baby when we go to the pool!
