I came here over a year for my daughter to learn how to swim, but to also have a fun activity during the cold months.
She started swimming in the water with me and now she is jumping into the water and swimming solo.
Not only is she learning a great skill, but the staff is extremely skilled. I’m extremely impressed with their professionalism and their care for all the kids learning these skills.
My daughter is not only learning a critical skill, but she is gaining confidence and social skills.
I cannot recommend this place enough.

Should have a better system in place for makeup tokens. I spent good money here to be disrespected by Emily at front desk. Won’t return

We have brought our daughter here since the place opened and couldn’t be happier. She’s always learning new skills and having her safety awareness reinforced. The coaches are patient and kind. They’ve encouraged her all the way through the skills that came quickly and the ones that took more time to learn. She's on swim force now and loving it. We look forward to her time in the pool here.

Great program. HOWEVER, when it comes to ending your membership they will take advantage of you. They will continue to charge you after canceling. They will make you come in person to end your child enrollment and then surprise you still get charged after going in and signing the necessary materials. Everything is great with this program until you want to leave. Then they make it very VERY difficult.

Our time at Goldfish has been nothing short of amazing! The staff and teachers create such a welcoming and fun fillled environment for my son! He has become so much more comfortable in the water! Each instructor we have had the pleasure of encountering, encourages, challenges and loves on our son so much! We couldn't ask for a better place to send our son to become familiar with water and learn to swim! He took his first few swim strokes on his own this past weekend! Made me tear up!

Too many kids in a class, they don’t get enough practice. End up spending $140 a month for over a year and my 5 year old is still no wear near swimming. They don’t teach them the individual movements to actually improve. They work on a bunch of stuff that doesn’t actually keep them up out of the water

This place has 5 stars for a reason. Extremely clean, they regularly clean and check the pools PH, the staff are SO friendly, patient and understanding. Sydney is an angel my son and I absolutely adore her. They are very professional and the atmosphere is so much fun. They supply you with every necessity you could need to make swim classes a breeze. Thank you Goldfish!

I cannot say enough good things about Goldfish! The place is always clean. EVERYONE is so kind and accommodating, anytime I’ve needed help they’ve saved the day and gone the extra mile! My 2.5 year old has learned not only swim skills but confidence thanks to them. I highly recommend!

The instructors are kind, patient and effective. The pool is nice and warm for the kids and the showers right beside it are so convenient. The office staff is helpful and flexible. The lessons are pricey, but I think you get what you pay for here. My older son has been going for two years and just passed the last level. He has become a strong swimmer. I feel great about his abilities going into the summer swim season. Thank you to everyone at Goldfish.

The atmosphere is welcoming, the facility is clean and the instructors are absolutely amazing. They accommodate any child at any stage, the children who are excited and even the children who are nervous. They give each family an individual update after each swim lesson regarding their child. They are always rewarding the kids with ribbons to keep them motivated. My sons have been enrolled here for two months doing a weekly class and they recently asked to do more. If you have kids who need to learn to swim, or you have concerns for water safety or even just to help prep them for summer I definitely recommend Goldfish Swim School.

We recently moved onto a property with a pond and our first priority was swim lessons and water safety! We have had our boys in lessons for four months now and they have come so far! Our oldest just made it to the next level and has gained so much confidence! I am so much more at ease having a body of water on our property now.

Our daughter has been going to gold fish since she was only a few months old! She does very well in all pools and even demonstrates important safety skills of climbing out of the pool even when she’s in other pools at 18 months old!

Outstanding swim school! Open all year long, so many lesson times to choose from. Friendly staff, dedicated teachers. Clean facility from changing rooms, showers and bathrooms. I have nothing but good things to say about them! If you’re thinking about it do it you won’t regret it.

Our daughter went into Goldfish with 3 years of swim classes. When she went into Goldfish she couldn't float on her back, go underwater, or swim underwater. She is now around her sixth lesson and can almost do all of those skills and more! Her instructor has been amazing and so supportive. The small class sizes have been support helpful in supporting all students.

My son and daughter have had the best, kindest, and most supportive teachers at Goldfish. Miss Cass and Miss Samantha helped my daughter gain such a strong swim foundation, and Mr. Ky has been so incredibly patient and kind with my daughter. He’s helped her gain confidence in swimming and in herself, and I’ll be forever grateful for Goldfish Swim School.

Amazing. We should have started sooner. We were at the YMCA for several months and really didn't make any notable progress. We have been here for several months now and our kids are thriving. Our 4 year old wouldn't even put his head in the water or attempt a back float when we came. He was terrified, resisted and yelled. He now has his back float ribbon and is making tons of progress. He loves it so much that he has a countdown going until when he can go swimming again. It's adorable. Every morning, "Mom, how many days until I go swimming again?" My 6 year old quickly went through the first level but then was scared and intimidated by level 2. There was immediate intervention. He had 2 weeks of private lessons until he was comfortable joining the group. He's doing fantastic. My only regret is not coming sooner. Thank you all so much!

I cannot recommend them enough! My daughter struggled with swimming. We tried a number of different places & she still had no confidence. She started here at glider level 1 & within 3 months moved to glider level 3. The instructors are patient & kind. They really help boost confidence & work with the kids. I wish we had them here when she was little & i had started her with them. Now she says she wants to be a goldfish swim instructor when she's old enough. Thank you! I wish I knew all the teachers names that have helped her so I could list them all.

I have seen great improvement in all three of our kids’ swimming capabilities. The staff is great and always super friendly. My son’s favorite instructor is Ky. He makes swim force lessons fun and breaks down the movements in a way that my son really enjoys.

From the first class we were EXTREMELY pleased! And our little guy loved it so what is better than that? In just 4 classes his confidence in being in the water exceeded our expectations. It’s incredible to see how quickly he has learned and his excitement to go to swim lessons. Before he would not want to go under water or float on his back…now it is all he wants to do! Everything is so well thought out from the facility to how lessons are ran. We highly recommend Goldfish and trust me you will not be disappointed!

We have attended Goldfish for a few months now and it is worth the drive from Findlay! Our son has water aversion from ISR and they have been so compassionate with him and us. Their facilities are wonderful, the lobby always has plenty of seating, the changing huts are clean, they have hair dryers, and swim suit spin out. We tried SafeSplash in Perrysburg because it was closer and immediately switched back to Goldfish due to underwhelming facilities and unwelcoming staff. We are so thankful to be a part of the Goldfish team.

Both of our kids love Goldfish. Our two year old likes her instructor, Mr. Ky, so much that she asks to go to the pool and see him even on days we don't have lessons. Staff take great care of our kids, facilities are in excellent shape, and our kids are learning to love the water and be safe around it. Highly recommend!
