The staff at this facility is the best, they show care and compassion. The facility is so clean. The progress my daughter has made in her swim glasses completely blow me away. They make sure everyone is comfortable and engaged. I highly recommend Gold Fish Danvers for all your swim class needs!

We have been loving goldfish! Both of my daughters have loved coach Riley, she is so amazing with the kids and makes them so comfortable. My oldest was really nervous with anyone else and coach Riley got her in the water and going under in one class. We love goldfish!

Our 4 year old went from being terrified of putting his face in the water to independently jumping in and swimming unassisted back to the edge in just a few months. Every single instructor and employee is knowledgeable, kind, and encouraging. We switched to Goldfish after not having luck with another swim school, and we cannot recommend more!

We started our daughter here two years ago and has been a great experience for her as she continues to move up from swimming with us in the mini sessions to swimming independently with the swim coach. We recently started our youngest when she was old enough to attend. The instructors are wonderful and the facility is great. We especially love the focus on water safety at all levels.

We enrolled our daughter in swim lessons at just 4 months old, and choosing Goldfish Swim School has truly been one of the best decisions we've made. The instructors are absolutely incredible—caring, patient, and highly skilled. Our daughter is now 8 months old, and swim class has become the highlight of our week!
We really appreciate the structured curriculum and the strong emphasis on water safety from such an early age. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s learning in such a thoughtful and fun environment. She also LOVES Bubbles --we have it all from the hooded towel, to the Bubbles figurines, and more.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Goldfish Swim School. Highly recommend to any parents considering early swim lessons!

we started taking our 5 year old to Goldfish for swim lessons at the beginning of 2024 and as soon as our youngest turned 4 months she started- it’s been well over a year and we are so pleased with how well the lessons are going. Both girls absolutely love the water and the skills they’re learning have been so reassuring. Not only is goldfish swim school always clean and well organized the staff is incredible. Seriously we adore our girls instructors, they’re patient, calm, welcoming and so knowledgeable. We appreciate our time so much here and are always eager to share our experiences with other parents and caregivers. Another bonus is the community you build- my girls have attended swim “clinics” and various “parties” such as Princess Tea Party and family swim dates- we feel so grateful to be part of this group.

The best swin school around. The teacher to student ratio is great. Tons of instructors in the pool at all times and several lifeguards walking around. Warm water temp, seating for parents and plenty of changing rooms.

We’ve been so impressed with Goldfish Swim School! My husband is a literal U.S. Navy Rescue Swimmer and I grew up swimming, lifeguarding, and teaching lessons - yet we just couldn’t seem to teach our own child (funny how that works!). Goldfish has been incredible at giving her confidence in the water. She’s constantly smiling, truly enjoying herself, and her progress has been amazing to watch. We’re so grateful for the empowering environment and can’t wait to get our other child - who’s been away for the summer - started this fall!

This place is *amazing*! Our 7-year-old son started out being uncomfortable putting his face under water. After two weeks of jumpstart sessions (where you attend every weekday for a 30-min session), he has already leveled up from Glider 1 to Glider 2, thanks to their fantastic teaching program and caring, skilled teachers. The employees here are so fun, kind, and helpful. It has felt like joining a family! Cannot recommend Goldfish Danvers enough. We had previously tried lessons at a few YMCA's, but the water was cold, and our son didn't seem to improve. Our son loves coming here, and so do I :) thanks Mol, Lizzie, Cayden, Reilly, Natalia, and the whole team for making our experience such a meaningful one. We look forward to continue taking lessons with you all!

I have my two kids in Goldfish (Danvers). In the beginning, my 8 year old cried and trembled being afraid of "submerging" while the little one struggled to stay afloat. Today, after 1.5 years, traveling back and forth with my kids, putting on their part a lot of effort, they can swim and survive in the water. The relief I felt at a local waterpark last week seeing them thrive and have fun was indescribable. I almost cried seeign that the patience and effort paid off. The patience and knowledge of the instructors at Goldfish is unmatched.

This was the 3rd swim school we tried and we absolutely LOVE it. Goldfish really understands child development and how young children learn best. The energy of the instructors at this branch is unparalleled - they are incredibly organized and constantly give my son tips on how to swim better both in and out of the pool. Their smiles energy and enthusiasm along with the literal 90 degree warmth of the pool make this one of my son’s favorite places to be in the world. THANK YOU GOLDFISH!

We have had and continue to have such a wonderful experience at Goldfish Swim School in Danvers! Every instructor is patient, kind, friendly, and most importantly, great with our kids. Our children have gained so much confidence in the water and always looks forward to class each week. If you told me 4.5 years ago when we started that our almost 5 year old would be in Pro 1, I wouldn't have ever believed anyone. The facility is so clean, warm, and very family-friendly. My husband and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality swim lessons in a positive environment!

This facility is clean and kids friendly. The staff members are pleasant and helpful. They readily provide assistance when needed. I am glad that this facility is here to teach and train my little ones to swim, which is a great skill to have. I encourage all parents to allow their children to learn how to swim. The skill is worth more than having a child drown because they do not know how to swim. A lot of children love water, so start early. If you are looking for a place for children (4 months to 12-year-olds) to learn how to swim, this is the place to come and start! There is a lot that a child can learn in 30 minutes, you will be surprised!. Your child plays and learn at the same time. It's amazing! Try it out!

My son was terrified of water and would even refuse to fully go inside a pool. He would just sit at the steps any time we were invited to pool parties. After signing him up for Goldfish he developed incredible confidence and is no longer afraid of the pool. He looks forward to class each week and loves his instructor Skyla. We recommend Goldfish to anyone looking for swimming lessons for their little ones.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Goldfish Swim School - Danvers! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. Mol who is currently both of our children's swim instructor is incredibly patient, kind and highly skilled in working with children. Mol makes the swim lessons fun and engaging, which really helps our children feel comfortable and excited about learning to swim.
The facilities are clean and well maintained, providing a safe and inviting environment for the little ones. We were particularly impressed with the small class sizes, ensuring that each child receives plenty of individual attention and support.
We highly recommend Goldfish Swim School - Danvers to any parents looking to introduce their children to the joys of swimming!

We recommend Goldfish to everyone we know. We attribute so much of our daughters’ love of swimming and pool safety to Goldfish. The warm pool temperature and the mixture of drills and fun means that they look forward to it each week. The ease of rinsing and changing means that we do, too. Best run program around!

Couldn't be happier with our experience. Riley has been an amazing instructor not only for our toddler but for the other students in her class. Riley goes above and beyond to make sure that each swimmer gets a 1on1 while teaching a full class. Absolutely worth it.

We highly recommend Goldfish Swim School in Danvers. We started classes for our daughter a month ago as soon as she was old enough to begin. She loves it! Her teacher Mol is amazing and the couple times we’ve had training instructors they were also great with the kids. Class size is perfect, and the half hour really flies by. The facility (changing rooms, showers, etc.) has everything needed and it’s so nice that the pool is warm! We can’t wait to see our little one’s skills improve.

We love Goldfish Danvers and all the coaches! They use play and fun to teach swim skills in a tropical pool which is shiver free! My daughters have been going since they were about 7/8 months and now they are 2 and 4! They learn so much, and look forward to going every week! We would definitely recommend trying Goldfish Swim School for lessons!

Terrible experience yesterday. My 3 year old daughter was there for her first swim lesson. There were 3 children in her class with 1 instructor. While the instructor Alex was teaching one kid how to swim, my daughter fell off the landing and went under water without the instructor or ANYONE else noticing for that matter, and I had to run in and yell to get her. This is completely unacceptable and I am extremely disappointed. I will not be going back.

My daughter has been swimming at Goldfish Danvers since they opened 2 years ago! She started as a mini 1 in their Burlington location and is now a Junior 1. Her confidence in the water has grown so much!!! The instructors are all amazing, the facility is always clean, and they definitely know what they’re doing! I highly recommend this school to anyone with small children who want their kids to learn how to swim. 🏊🏻

The facility is nice and clean but the place is absolutely packed on the weekends. We started off with both kids in a weekend class and switched to the 5 year old to a weekday class and I can already tell he is doing better. I also appreciate the manager reaching out to me when I felt like he wasn’t making much progress in the weekend class. My 2 year old loves the mini class.

I think goldfish is a wonderful swim school, even though it's a bit pricey. My seven year old was afraid to go under the water without holding his nose and now a few weeks into the program, he's swimming with his face down in the water.

This place is so cute and so clean! Impressive facilities. The water is nice and warm. Staff is helpful and patient and non-judgmental when I ask them the same stupid question nine times in a row. I saw them reinforce the mask-wearing rule with an under-the-nose masker so that was also appreciated. Great for baby swim classes, we will definitely continue going.
