Such a great place! The classes have been wonderful for getting our one year old used to the water. He has so much fun at every class while developing his skills. We also love the weekly family swim times which give us a chance to continue to work on his skills outside of class.

Goldfish has been amazing for our family! My daughter who's not even five is a confidence swimmer in our neighborhood pool and people are always asking where she learned. We always always always recommend Goldfish Swim School!

The incredible team of teachers and leaders at Goldfish have helped our two children get comfortable and stay safe in the water, learn how to integrate and use their whole body at once, and begin to absolutely LOVE swimming. Both of them were nervous, hesitant, and sometimes scared and both resisted lessons at first, but the staff and teachers gently and patiently encouraged them week after week as they learned new skills, and now both of them can’t WAIT to start their lesson every single time. Thank you SO much, Goldfish team! β€οΈπŸ πŸ†πŸŽ‡πŸ₯‡

I brought my daughters for a trial and was really excited to sign them up. Upon entry a dark haired gentleman was sitting at the check in desk, he looked at my family and back at his computer and never said anything to us even after I had said hello as I approached the desk. He even acknowledged other children and families that came to the desk for prizes as they left. A blonde young lady was also standing at the front desk , she too looked at us, allowed me to speak first, flashed a smile then went back to typing on her computer. A few minutes later Erica came from another area and finally said hello do you need help. (The man and woman at the desk then looked over to seem interested thay i needed something) I let her know what our purpose was and she went into full service mode and helped us out. I appreciated her for trying to make us a little more comfortable because I think she could sense my agitation. That interaction at the desk alone changed my entire feeling about letting my daughters swim there. My daughter is sensitive and has extra needs and it is hard for me to entrust her care in anyone else's hands. I do not take them anywhere that doesn't feel accepting upon entry. Aside from the greeting I received the swim instructors were good with both of my children. The facility is beautiful. However I will not bring my kids anywhere that anyone has made them feel unwelcome.

We love Goldfish in Warson Woods! As soon as my toddler runs in the door, Mrs. Ashley and Mrs. Jamie at the front desk greet him by name and with a big smile. They are always warm, welcoming, and helpful. Coach Allie and Coach Shyanne are the best! They make learning fun, and we can see the progress our two kids have made since starting as infants. The facility is always spotless, too! Our kids look forward to every class, and swim lessons are the highlight of our week. We’re incredibly grateful to have found Goldfish!

We were referred to Goldfish Swim School by a co-worker, and I'm so happy with what they offer! I enrolled my 13-month-old granddaughter seven months ago and am astounded by her progress. The Goldfish methods of instruction are ingenious, and we especially love their focus on safety. It is a pleasure to see how the staff is genuinely welcoming to all families. Thank you, Goldfish Swim School, for creating an environment in which is warm and a product that is proven effective.

I couldn’t be more impressed by the facility and the staff! Being an autism advocate I tend me suspicious at Sensory friendly events, but they went above and beyond even inviting experts to ensure everyone had a great time during their sensory swim. Their pool is also warm making it a safe place for babies and children who can’t regulate temperatures to swim. Their lighting is great and the artwork is charming. This went so well I decided to bring my two sons try it out for their free swim lesson. I should note we are not sound or crowd sensitive, but they said the afternoon on the weekends were a better time for those who are. During the trial swim, the coach was able to work with both my sons, one who is nonspeaking, and the other who extremely fast moving- she worked so beautifully with both that we decided to sign up for one-on-one lessons. She was very fun and encouraging, committing on how amazed she was at my older sons skills. This brings me so much joy, as some closed minded folks sometimes miss seeing how truly wonderful he is. Everyone was very kind and gracious. The facility is clean and fun! The crowd was very inclusive and lots of different ages and abilities. Bravo! Well done. We are looking forward to Saturday.

Both of my granddaughters attended and graduated up through the various levels, culminating with SwimForce. All of us (the girls, their parents and I) are extremely happy with their progress, the confidence and competence they have gained and their ability now to handled themselves in the water.

This is a great organization and I highly recommend it without reservation.

I really enjoyed my first trip here. My child is 4 and loves going to.class every week. The pool is large and split into lanes with 1 class and the end of each lane. Lots of classes with all different age groups. Instructors all seemed very nice and attentive. Several life guards are on duty and patrol the pool. There are plenty of restrooms, changing rooms, shower facilities and a hair drying station. The facilities were all very clean and staff really help coordinator the start and end of class which keep everything moving smoothly. The pool smells very clean which was surprising considering the number of kids in the pool... very impressive. I highly recommend

It’s awesome seeing your kids really strengthening their skills & looking forward to class every week. We switched a couple class times, so we had a couple teachers. Instructor Lauren K is the best!! She’s always happy to see my daughter/vice versa. Cheyenne at the front is who really explained tuition/how classes work- & made me feel comfortable signing up. Really happy we went with goldfish swim school!! The facility itself is clean & nice, I love that they have a hair blow drying station.

We have loved our experience with Goldfish. We started at the lowest level and my son has come so far in his swimming journey. They staff is super patient with my toddler and I feel like they are just as excited when he succeeds or reaches a milestone. When my youngest is old enough we will be enrolling him as well. Highly recommend for those looking to get the little ones to learn how to be safe in the water, but also get confidence being independent.

LOVE Goldfish! Friendly, bright, clean, and welcoming. They have everything you need. Some instructors are much more engaged than others, and it's very expensive. However, I still feel that our daughter has benefited from the program.

Thank you for continuing to run your business during such a challenging period. The staff wore shields which made it difficult to understand them at times but, they most certainly put forth the effort.

Thank goodness we've had a safe place for our kids to gain swimming experience during COVID-19. Their policies to protect everyone include mask wearing for adults, spaced seating, and sanitizing everything touched each session. The instructors wear face shields in the water, and there are separators between some of the class participants. The staff are the most caring, friendly, and safety-oriented people around. As we have been careful about our quarantine procedures to protect loved ones, we truly appreciate a fun, safe place for our kids to gain valuable swimming experience.

We enrolled our two boys (ages 3 & 4) in swim lessons for the first time, and we are genuinely thrilled with the experience we've had!

Being first-timers, we had no idea what to expect on our first lesson. Now, after going weekly for two months, we wanted to share several things that really set Goldfish Swim School apart.

1. Clean, 90-degree pool: This is huge! The kids are never cold and are always ready to jump right in.
2. We love the air-conditioned/heated waiting area with a play area for kids. We can watch the boys swim, while siblings play. It's comfortable, bright and fun.
3. Flexible lesson times: This is a big one for us. It really meant a lot that we could schedule our lessons at the same time even though the boys were different ages and levels.
4. 4:1 student-to-teacher ratios and several on-duty lifeguards were a bonus. One of our boys is absolutely fearless. It was a worry of ours that he would get distracted and jump in while no one was watching...and he did. But, someone WAS watching. Several people were watching. And they scooped him up and all was well.
5. The final thing may seem trivial, but when you have preschool-age kids, it's huge. After every lesson, the boys get some sort of positive reinforcement for having a good lesson. It could be a treat, a small toy, a craft, a ribbon, etc. it's always different and they always ask the parents if it's okay to hand it out. But it means so much to the boys and they are really proud when they get it.

As you can probably tell, we're continuing lessons! We're excited to continue spending time learning at Goldfish. We can't wait to jump in the river and the pool this summer knowing our boys have the tools to stay safe. The peace-of-mind is priceless.
