This place is awesome! Our daughter was not confident in the water before Goldfish, but now she's totally comfy and getting better every class. The instructors are all so sweet, patient, and really cheer her on. And the place is SO clean! They've got changing rooms, baby changing spots, warm showers, hair dryers, and tons of family seating! We even had our daughter's birthday party here. They set everything up perfectly and everyone had a blast! We totally recommend this school!

We recently enrolled our toddler at Goldfish Swim School, and while there were some positives, I also ran into a lot of confusion during our short time here.

The facility itself is very nice, spacious, clean, and well-maintained. However, it’s also very loud during busy times (we attended Saturdays), which makes it difficult to hear announcements or instructions. On our first visit, there wasn’t anyone to greet us or explain the process, so I had to ask at the desk what my toddler should be doing. At one point, our assigned lane number didn’t match the pool layout, which was confusing as well. I also had to ask about my membership welcome bag since it wasn’t offered up front, and later discovered that the makeup token I earned couldn’t be used once we paused our enrollment.

That said, I want to give credit where it’s due. After

posting this review, the general manager, Mindy, personally reached out to me. We had a very pleasant conversation where she listened to my concerns, explained things I hadn’t been aware of, and even fixed the makeup token situation. She went above and beyond to help schedule our family for another swim time, and I really appreciated her responsiveness and care.

While we may still decide to pause lessons since our son is only 19 months and not quite ready to enjoy them fully, I feel much better knowing the management values feedback and is committed to improving the experience for families.

We love this swim school. It was hard to find a swim school that was similar to the Dallas swim schools. This facility is very nice and we really like our teacher , she is great with our 2 year old. I'd highly recommend anyone with a young child that needs swimming lessons to come to goldfish swim school.

Goldfish Swim School has been an amazing experience! The instructors, especially Sean is patient, encouraging, and make learning fun. We’ve already seen so much progress and confidence in the water. I highly recommend Goldfish to any family looking for 🤩 clean and caring swim instruction. We plan to continue with our swim 🏊‍♂️ lessons next year.

I brought all 3 of my children here and was crossing my fingers lol but when we started we did not have an instructor picked out nor a schedule but doing the switching up of schedules my daughter was placed with a male. At first I was like o lord. She gonna have him wrapped around his finger and she not gonna learn bc he’s going to allow her to do whatever she wants lol BOOY WAS I WRONG!lol He not only treated her with all the kindness in the work but he worked so well getting her comfortable with the water, and she even jumps into the water and goes under the water! I then put him with my son, and as soon as I did I saw a huge change in him!! He can’t stop trying to swim no matter what and he goes under the water all the time and enjoys it. Even though we did not finish the program to where they are completely ready we reached the goal of them not being afraid of the water anymore and finally trying to have fun in a body of water and he let them ring the bell anyway! The male’s name is Liam and I fully recommend him!

We started at goldfish when they opened in February. We are always around water in the summertime and it was important to me that my daughter is comfortable around water and learns water safety at an early age. We were in the “mini 2” class for 4 months, and I was impressed by how much my daughter learned in such a short amount of time. We pulled her out at the end of June due to our busy schedule and her starting preschool soon, but are planning on enrolling her again next summer.

Our son was absolutely terrified of swimming prior to starting lessons with Goldfish. We have seen him gain so much confidence since his first lesson!

Rude instructors, that in truth have no idea what they’re doing. Pool smells like a dirty bathroom. Impossible to get a hold of anybody on the phone. They have a 30 day prior notice for cancellation. This place is a ripoff and not very good.

Great! We’ve been clients for nearly 2 months. My kiddos are progressing well. Pricing could be a bit more budget friendly especially if you have multiple swimmers.

Could not recommend enough! Absolutely phenomenal staff and experience. You get the one on one experience and small groups! Very affordable! My kids go to two classes every week and they’re flourishing. There is plenty of support staff around just in case so I feel that my child is In a safe Environment. The bathrooms and changing room rooms are clean and phenomenal. There is even a hair drying station just in case You want to dry your child’s hair before you go somewhere else. The water is warm and so is the pool room so no cold kids freezing, or refusing to get in the water because of cold water. They have things for a lot of ages. They also have lots of groups for different experiences from baby to learning swim techniques like the backstroke and freestyle. The viewing area allows you to watch your children swim during their lesson.

I started bringing my daughter here when they opened back in February and we have loved our experience so far. Our daughter is 7 months and in the mini one class with Kylie. This is the first recreational class she has ever participated in. Over the past 6 weeks her comfort level in the water has grown substantially! And her instructor Kylie is amazing! She is so helpful in explaining each lesson to us while also explaining how these skills will be used as the babies continue to learn.
The facility is always very clean and the staff is welcoming. The front desk staff has remembered my daughter and greeted her by name since week one.Very happy with this swim school!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (For the right fit)

We originally tried the Mini 2 level, but it just wasn’t the right fit for my son. At this stage, they focus on basic swim skills—kicking, arm movements, floating, and getting comfortable in the water with instructor guidance. While that’s great for beginners, my son is already swimming independently with a life jacket and just wanted to jump in and do his own thing. He wasn’t interested in the structured drills, and honestly, it felt like torture for him to slow down and practice things he felt he had already mastered.

Leaving was rough (cue the meltdown), and getting him changed afterward was a whole adventure in itself. At this in-between stage—where he’s too advanced for Mini 2 but not quite ready to swim independently—it just wasn’t worth the effort for 30 minutes of class time.

That said, the facility is fantastic—super clean, lots of changing rooms, spacious bathrooms, and even a hair blower station with detangler (a lifesaver for parents!). The staff was very helpful, showing me around on our first visit and making sure we felt comfortable.

Although we canceled, the owner personally reached out and was incredibly kind, helping us find a better solution. She even created a special class for my son to try out the next level (Mini 3), where the focus is more on swimming independently. I’ll update once we see how that goes, but I truly appreciate the effort to make things work for us.

For younger kids or those just starting out, Mini 2 would likely be a great fit. For my son, at this stage, it was a pass—but I love how they worked with us to find a better option! Looking forward to seeing how Mini 3 goes!

Almost forgot to mention, he got the cutest fish for his first visit but now that I think of it, he may have left it. We also received a nice tote.

I called to gather more information and get some answers to my questions I had but I was pleasantly surprised by the customer service I received. June, answered every question I had very thoughtful and thoroughly. She was well educated and confident which gave my mama heart so much confidence on my daughter attending swim lessons here. Before I called I just mainly wanted more information but when speaking with June she convinced me(without convincing) why my daughter should go here. Thank you so much June!! We are looking forward to our first day in February!!

The school isn't open yet, but I have met the owner by chance at an event and she was amazing. I have also spoken with the school twice already in regards to classes/class times/policies/etc. I believe I spoke with Morgan? (I'm sorry if that's wrong, all my kids were screaming while we were talking and I tried my best lol). I'll surely be attending, they were super sweet. I can update the review to reflect actual service after we attend our first lessons in February. :) I can't wait!
