My son has been attending classes for over a year now and confidently progressed during this time. He enjoys classes and likes his teachers. It was great to see him swimming and playing over the summer, huge change from being afraid to get his face wet before.
We love Goldfish! My son looks forward to swimming every week. The facility is kid friendly and the staff/instructors are attentive and great with kids(Dante, Joey, Tyler, Julia, Eric, Billie, etc, cant say enough about them). I have definitely recommended this school to several family and friends!
Amazing Amazing Amazing, clean and professional environment. My 8 year old loves it
Great swim school for the younger set! Extremely clean (very important during COVID times), and the staff are very careful with safety and hygiene protocols. The coaches are great - my daughter loves the class and the lessons so much, she doesnt want it to end.Only problem I see is that the pool is 4 feet everywhere, so theres no place for learning to dive. Just means my kid will skill out a little sooner than expected and Ill have to move her to a different school in a couple years. Well just have to enjoy Goldfish while we can!
We tried several swimming classes in NYC and this is by far the best one.The facility is very clean and pleasant and the pool as large and spacious enough for all the kids. Every thing was well thought of and organized.On a more personal note, my son is a bit hesitant about swimming without me or his father and the entire team was extremely patient, kind and supportive of him throughout the entire class to the point where he even agreed to swim with the instructor several times.I highly recommend!
My girls loved their classes this summer and cant wait to continue swimming and learning more. We love the facility and the staff, who are all very friendly, focused and helpful.
Amazing. From the first day that my daughter was a little trepidatious about getting in the water, the staff went out of their way to make her feel safe and comfortable and got her inside in just a few minutes and she has been loving it ever since. Her teacher Chris is so patient and great and the class sizes are small. Not to mention the warm pool makes the kids happy to go in the water even in the winter. And its such an open clean space it makes it less stressful during these times. Cant say enough great things.
Beautiful facility!! Front desk is always super accommodating whenever we have needed to adjust lesson times. We feel covid safe and the teachers are great with little kids. Our 2 toddlers 3 years and 18 months look forward to class every week. Highly recommend!!
We started these swimming classes for our 6month old daughter, a month ago and she loves them. The pool is always warm, the facility is always clean and the staff is always polite&frienly, such as our instructor Stephany. Covid safe as well, everybody wears mask and the area is cleaned/sanitized very often. The best choice. 5/5☆
All the staff are very nice and helpful. Place is nice and clean. My boys love it!Would be so much better if the make up class can be scheduled any available day instead of one week in advance!!
Easy registration and check in process. Lots of private spaces for changing. Hair dryers and a swimsuit dryer available. Lots of spaced chairs for parents. Pool was warm. Our kid loved her teacher and experience.
My boys had a fun first experience with swimming here. The swim groups were small ratio, and the instructors provided individualized feedback.
I love this swimming school my daughter is fully satisfied !! I wish sessions were longer maybe 45 mins ! But over all we won’t stop going until it isn’t needed anymore !
My children love this place! They have learned more here than in other swimming facilities. The facility is always clean and disinfected on the spot. The staff is very warm and welcoming. Lovely experience.
Great staff! They are sweet and caring. They clean every communal area after ever use. Lots of changing rooms, but a shortage of bathrooms and shower (4 total).
Classes are super small, instructors wear masks and chairs are cleaned often. Bathrooms and changing rooms are always clean! We love coming here! Staff is always professional!

2022-05-06My daughter has been here for almost one year. One class a week and we have zero bad experiences. We had about five coaches and all of them are friendly and great with kids. My daughter started with a fear of jumping in water to now able to dive 3ft. Facilities are clean and the checkin process runs smoothly. I truly have nothing bad to say. My daughter looks forward to Goldfish every week. and I look forward to when my younger daughter can join in the fun.

2022-06-02We have loved the whole experience. The facilities are clean and super thoughtful, offerring down to the last detail such as diffusers, wipes, etc. The instructors and staff weve experience have all been patient, helpful and just had the greatest energy. The only thing I wish was better was the time for each session. 30min feels too short for the tuition price, it would be a lot better if it was 45min. Other than that, we love it!

2022-05-18The school takes a very methodical and gentle approach. My son has truly enjoyed taking classes here. The facilities and well kept and all the staff, from front desk to instructors are so welcoming and helpful. They speak and handle kids so kindly and respectfully. Now … some of the other parents in the waiting area. 🙄

2022-05-20I believe the teachers make ALL the difference. Thomas substituted for Nicole (for my sons Mini 1 class) several times and we loved his energy. But then we switched into Julias class last week and my 12 month old son actually swam for the first time! Sure, my son is pretty fantastic but I wholeheartedly believe that Julias OFF THE CHARTS AWESOME energy and attentiveness was responsible for my sons swimming surprise last class. We cant wait to continue to see the progress he makes in Julias class!

2022-02-02Our daughter was very nervous on her first day, but the instructor was so warm and welcoming that it seemed like her concerns disappeared immediately. Now she is excited to go and seems much more comfortable being in the water.

2021-11-18The Goldfish experience has been great for my daughter and I. The staff is friendly and helpful, the facility and pool are clean, bright and inviting, and my daughter’s instructor, Max, is knowledgeable, patient, kind and fun. The training managers are also amazing. I recommend Goldfish Swim School any time I can.

2021-11-22Teachers and lifeguards are very patient and encouraging with our special needs son. I also like the 4 to 1 class ratio for personalized instruction when there is a wide range of swimming skills within a class. The facilities are also very nice and clean and waiting area has WiFi.
