We have brought our 2 kids here (9 and 4) since July for swim lessons. Neither kid has moved up in their level, but have been increasing their strength and comfortability in the water. The teachers are very kind and patient. Facility is nice, clean, and spacious. Staff are always welcoming with a hello upon entering and a pleasant goodbye when leaving. We have enjoyed our time at Goldfish.

Our son has made great progress learning to swim. They setup a class specifically on day that worked for us with only four people max. He gets a lot of time and it's well worth the money if your kiddo struggles and needs attention. We tried the YMCA before and were not successful. Nothing against them, it's just much slower pace and more focused in fewer kids in the pool.

The last time I reviewed Goldfish was over 5 years ago to say how the skills our 1 year old learned saved his life, and Im back to continue to love this school!
Our son is now 6 years old and he has come so far! We did have a 1-year break in classes due to moving, but we are so happy to have been back the last 1.5yrs! Our son has gained so much confidence in his abilities and no longer fears the water! He understands the level he is at and remains cautious when needed, but he loves being in the water and trying new skills! I can't recommend Goldfish enough! The staff is amazing, and he looks forward to his class every week! Thank you, Goldfish! You've been amazing for our son, and we know you will continue to be!

Our 4 year old has been going there for about 6 months and we’ve been very happy with Goldfish! Previously we were at another swim school in Papillion but left after a year and have been very happy with the switch. We’ve been extremely impressed with every staff engagement and the consistency of lessons and teaching we get at Goldfish, and have seen tremendous growth in her swimming. The facilities are great and we love getting to watch our daughter show off her skills at the end of every lesson and getting a 1:1 chat with teachers. Highly recommend!

We love Goldfish Swim School! The warm water and friendly staff have made water safety and learning to swim fun for our 2 boys. Both were very hesitant to get in a pool…let alone put their head underwater. Now they love swimming and can’t wait for their lessons!

We LOVE Goldfish Swim School! Mr. Pete & Mr. Nathan (along with some wonderful substitutes along the way) are absolutely amazing and helped my son learn the basics of swim safety! He just recently moved up a level after being able to swim 8 feet on his own at the age of 4! Highly recommend swim school/lessons! ❤️

We’ve been going to this Goldfish location since they opened and are thrilled with all of the teachers. One of my children was terrified of being in the water and his teachers have been so patient and kind. We love the low kid to teacher ratio and the amazing communication and guidance!

Awesome in all regards. Both of my sons love their classes and have learned so much. The instructors are so patient and encouraging and know how to help the students understand what they need to do. The facility is clean and well maintained. The front desk staff is also helpful and friendly. Very thankful we enrolled our boys for swim lessons here.

We are so, so grateful for Goldfish Swim School Sarpy County and the crew that works there. Paul does a wonderful job at making sure families feel welcomed and known and he's so helpful at quickly addressing any questions or concerns. The facility is always clean and the pool is always warm! The make up policy is so helpful and allows for so much flexibility and the open swim time for members is such a fun bonus!
I really appreciate that there is always a lifeguard on duty. It's never just the instructors watching the children. Safety, without a doubt, is a top priority at Goldfish Swim School.
My 4&6yo both attend classes so we've experienced the junior, glider and pro level classes so far. As a parent with no swim experience, I really enjoy getting to see the way the instructors teach and getting to understand how each skill my children learn, ties into the next skill. The Goldfish curriculum is truly wonderful and the instructors just make it so much better. The instructors take the time to get to know the students and invest so much into each student. They truly do a wonderful job at meeting each student where they are.
Emily was one of my sons first instructors and it's so special to see them back together again in one of the final levels. She does a wonderful job of letting him be himself, pushing him when he needs to be pushed, backing off when he needs to rest and she is so good at finding ways to help him understand/make the connections needed with some of the more difficult strokes he's been learning.
Bre K is another instructor that I'll forever be grateful for. Both of my children were taught by her, my youngest child just for a short time. She helped grow their confidence in the water so much. She's very animated with the kids, which they love and it's fun to watch her teach. It's clear to see that she loves what she does!
I simply can't say it enough, thank you so much Goldfish Swim School Sarpy County team for all you do for your swimmers!

This school has been so great! My daughter was so scared coming into swimming lessons again as she got pushed into the water at her last swim school. All of the staff have been more than welcoming and helping her get back into the water and not being scared!!! Thank you so much Goldfish Papillion!!

We started taking a daughter there once she was 4 months old and can support her neck independently. We love it. The staff is cordial and helpful. Class sizes are small, ensuring your little one gets plenty of attention. A lifeguard is always on the duty. The pool temperature is nice and warm.
Most importantly, her instructor Lulu is superb. Not only does my daughter seem to like her weekly class, but all the drills done are to teach water safety. Each lesson is to build muscle memory so that they know how to help themselves should they fall in. Extra bonus, she sleeps best on swim lesson days. ;)
Such a welcoming, family friendly environment. If I could rate this 6 stars, I would.

My children learned more in two months than years of lessons at the YMCA. Every goldfish instructor we’ve had is patient but still challenges the swimmers. And they’re so good with the kids. We love Goldfish Swim School!

Outstanding customer service! The team goes above and beyond and the lessons are individualized for each child’s needs. They meet the child where they are at and don’t just push aside their fears.
I was so hesitant trying swim lessons again with my 5 year old who went to a different facility last year. She was SO fearful of going under the water but they would “dunk” her regardless saying it was part of the lesson. They didn’t seem to have much empathy to my daughter’s fears and kept telling me eventually she would get used to it. Even after multiple lessons, she was fearful and cried every time/didn’t want to come back. They had to peel her off of me each time. I finally had to stop because my mama heart couldn’t take it any longer.
After her first time at Goldfish, she was already asking when she could come back and by lesson number 2 she was putting her face in the water. The swim instructors and lifeguards are so friendly and are quick to build trust with the child. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and that speaks volumes to our family

Our children (8 and 4) started at Goldfish Sarpy County last year. They were terrified to let go of us during family swim, unwilling to put their faces in the water, and wouldn't challenge themselves, even with *us.* Now (Dec 2023) they are both (9 and 5) swimming completely independently, as long or as far as they want. They made incredible progress in a matter of months.
The staff (from the manager down to every teacher) is engaging, kind, and enthusiastic. We get detailed reports of their strength and growth areas after every lesson. It seems like the entire staff knows our family by face or name. They meet swimmers where they are, and can accommodate students with various physical and emotional needs. The model they have includes various types of recognition, and my kids are extremely proud every time they get a ribbon and/or move up a level. They are motivated to work hard each lesson.
Swim lessons and family swim are prompt and well organized. The facilities are brand new and well kept.
We are so happy with how things have been going, and we plan on continuing with Goldfish for a long time!

After coming here for about 7 months, Goldfish Swim School is the only place I would take my kid. The instructors operate on such an individualized level, even in a group setting the teacher always knows where my child is at and they can go at their own pace. That's how I know the teachings will stick. They're great!!

I have had the pleasure of working with RJ and his team at Goldfish Swimming School on a number of occasions. Their facilities are top notch, well-crafted, their team is so nice and welcoming, the kids have a blast while they learn to swim and their parents feel comfortable dropping them off there to learn how to swim. I have taken photos and videos for their team and I have a handful of friends that take their kids there to swim weekly. Their program is designed to be interactive and teach kids to swim while they play. I can't recommend their team enough, go check them out!

I am blown away by this place! My daughter started off pretty well in enjoying here. then one week she developed a fear. Amber ( Ast. manager- i believe) came up with new ideas to help my daughter tackle her fear and after 2 really bad weeks the third week I saw improvement. Im so happy she didn't give up on her and even went out of her way to give my daughter a lil one on one so we can progress in learning that water can be fun.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

We’ve been going to Goldfish for over a year now and recently transferred to the new location. Our son loves his lessons and has learned so much in that time. We love that he has fun but that he is also learning skills in a great progression that will make him safer in the water. We recommend this swim school to all of his friends and have nothing but great things to say. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable and the facility is always clean. We’re excited every week for lesson day.
