We came here after doing a trial lesson at another swim school and there was a noticeable difference in everything from the bathroom/facilities condition to the amount of playroom in the pool and attentiveness of the instructor. We are very happy here!

This place is a complete rip off!!! We did not see the kids making any more progress and decided to cancel the lessons. At the time we canceled my kids had each 16 if not more makeup classes. We were informed that those make up classes can be done if we are still enrolled and since we cancel we will lose all of them. I do not believe this is fair as all of those make up classes were paid for and no service was provided!!! the Area Manager that was on site was very dismissive and did not try to assist us in any possible way, but did not forget to mention what her role is! The price for the service is way to high and place lacks cleanliness and supplies. Always out of soup, or toilet paper, or paper towels. Not to mention the showers being broken for days!

I can't say enough great things about Goldfish Swim School. The instructors are incredibly patient and skilled, making learning fun and engaging for my child. In just a few weeks, I’ve seen a huge improvement in confidence and technique. The facility is clean, well-maintained. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality swim lessons for their children.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Goldfish Swim School! My son has made incredible progress—from not wanting to put his face in the water to now confidently going fully underwater for 10 seconds and swimming unassisted with a barbell for 5 feet! It's been amazing to watch his comfort and confidence grow with each lesson.

The staff at the front desk are always so responsive and accommodating, making the whole experience smooth and welcoming. A special shoutout to Instructor Nahum, who has been an absolute gem! He’s encouraging, supportive, and truly a fantastic cheerleader for my son—always helping him push just a little further while making sure he feels safe and celebrated.

I can’t wait to see how my son continues to grow and level up in the water at Goldfish. Highly recommend!

Our daughter started in Junior 1 and we had a great experience there until she transitioned to Junior 3. Once she started that class, they did not seem to care about her progress. She made absolutely no progress for approximately 9 months of lessons until we chose to cancel. I reached out to Goldfish Swim on multiple occasions by phone to express my concerns, but nothing had been done to address the issue. In fact, they even took away stars previously acquired during one of her evaluations. I finally voiced my concerns in person and only then did they work on specific skills during a couple classes. However, they still did not do evaluations on time, or even with a tablet to record her skills for accuracy. This was extremely frustrating because my husband and I were there every week to watch her and could clearly see the progress she made. Her instructors even told us she was ready for the next level yet during the next evaluation again no progress would be made. I even requested, on multiple occasions, a formal evaluation by a manager but this was not conducted until the very last day after we submitted for cancellation, despite being told weeks prior by the manager, Tysean, that this would occur. We just wanted our daughter to learn to swim independently and hoped that if NO progress was made after multiple months that even a little bit of effort would be made to focus on the skills she had not mastered.

It was also extremely frustrating that we received little to no notice that class was canceled after we had already driven 30 minutes to attend. This occured on multiple occasions.

After reading other reviews, I can completely agree with the frustration of last-minute cancellations. As parents pointed out, it’s incredibly frustrating when you're already on your way and then find out the class has been canceled, especially when it can take over an hour with traffic to get there. The staff at the front desk sometimes just shrugs it off, not understanding the time and effort it takes for families to get to the location.

The instructors are fantastic, though—exceptional people who genuinely care and do their best to teach our kids. Unfortunately, this positive experience is often overshadowed by the lack of professionalism from the front desk management. A year ago, the older management team, including Andrea and Gypsy, were great, but it seems the new manager and desk supervisor aren't as accommodating or invested in their customers. It’s disappointing, especially given how much potential this place has.

We’ve been going to goldfish swim for several months now and truly LOVE IT. My child started before 2 years old and at first was a bit nervous/scared but with our lovely instructor Ms. Lily she has gotten much better. She looks forward every week now to attend swim class and I definitely can see her improving and learning. The other thing I love is how occasionally they have family/friend swim events as well as minor activities at the school for kids to do while you wait for class (coloring pages, blocks, books, etc.)
I definitely recommend this swim school!

Braydon Leckner is a great coach! I was with my grandson in the water and Braydon was very patient, positive and interactive with all parents and children in the water. He was super helpful to me, as I was new to the program, making sure I understood what he was teaching the swimmers to do.

Excellent swim school. My daughter has been going here for 3 years now and she loves it. Especially coach Lily, she’s kind and fun, very good at teaching swim lessons, my daughter enjoys it. They’re great with communication, and if you miss class for any reason, they will add credits where you can make it up, that’s one of my favorite things about this swim school.

Their app is excellent to schedule makeup classes or to find other days/times for your kid's class. Plenty of changing rooms, around 6 hair dryers, 3 bathrooms. Classes are 30 minutes at a time. You can even book your kid's birthday party. Overall, great service.

Very supportive and friendly staff. Highly recommended place to send your kids to learn swimming. Thanks

Decided to take my daughter out of this school, lately a lot of things haven’t been working and they don’t notify you. For almost 3 weeks the water heater in the pool was not working, then tonight’s class the showers weren’t working and they don’t let you know, it’s inconvenient.

I am extremely upset with this location. They randomly cancelled classes without any notice. On several occasions I drove out with my kids and location was closed without any notice. This is so unprofessional. When asked, they send an unprofessional text saying some maintenance issue. Please post on your website or any other place that location will be closed. They are quick to charge you or take your credits if you miss the class but when they cancel class on their own, it’s no repercussions. I paid over $1500 for my kids lessons and don’t deserve this treatment. Someone from management contact me asap to make this right.

I have two of my kids enrolled here and they love it. I had them in a different swim school and they hated it, never wanted to go. Fast forward a year and they love this place. There is some turnover as some say but everyone who has come in behind us been just as welcoming and friendly. From the outside it also looks like they are good about promoting from within as well which is indicative of a positive work environment. I could
be wrong but that is the appearance. So far a big fan.

I was impressed with how well organized the school functions as well as the numerous amenities to keep kiddos comfortable - 90 degree water, warm showers, baby changing table, generous size changing rooms and blow dry station. At the first lesson we were given a full tour and told of the details of how lessons are conducted. After each lesson parents and kiddos are informed of how well the kiddos progressed during the lesson. Goldfish seems to keep both parents and kiddos engaged and most importantly kiddos have fun while learning new skills.

We have had the most amazing experience at goldfish swim school in short pump! It’s the “Disney world” of swim schools. Everything is run so incredibly, the staff is so kind and amazing with my kids, the facility is clean, bright and inviting, and the family swim events they host are a blast. It’s the perfect mix of teaching life saving swim skills and fun in every lesson. 10/10 experience. We have done a variety of lessons in the past and truly nothing compares to goldfish!

Our daughter is thriving at Goldfish. Ashley has been a great private swim instructor and is so great at balancing teaching and fun. Ashley really took our daughter under her wing and found an approach to swimming that works for her at a time when she needed the extra attention.

For the group instructors our daughter has worked with - Cameron, Zamanuel, Danali, Marcy, and Kie - all are extremely knowledgeable and are excellent at managing different personalities in the water at the same time. They are so fun and engaging, and balance the lesson time fairly so every swimmer has adequate instruction and time in the water during the 30-minute lesson time.

Now my daughter can be in any pool or the beach comfortably without floaties or us holding her, and we can’t get her out of the pool when we’re at home or on vacation. Thank you, team Goldfish!

oh.... i just realized that my review didn't register 6 months ago.
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional swimming instruction my daughter has received at your esteemed swim school. The progress she has made under the guidance of your outstanding instructors has been truly remarkable.
A charming anecdote that highlights the impact of your teaching occurred during my daughter’s first year with you. During a school field trip to a pool, my daughter surprised everyone by teaching her kindergarten teachers how to swim! It was a delightful and humorous moment that exemplified the confidence and skills she has developed through your program.
The patience and dedication of your instructors are truly commendable. They have never rushed her through promotions but have instead ensured that she fully grasps each lesson, building a solid foundation for her swimming skills.
The supportive and nurturing environment you provide has not only made learning enjoyable for her but has also instilled a sense of confidence that extends beyond the pool. May God bless you guys that work there and may this school flourish for many more years.

Thank you for fostering such a positive and enriching experience for my daughter. I am deeply appreciative of your commitment to excellence in teaching and for the remarkable impact you have had on her growth.

Here at Goldfish Lake Ridge, we have been treated with nothing but respect and compassion. The instructors and managers have been nothing short of miracle workers. They took my child, who at the beginning was apprehensive about the water, and made swimming lessons his favorite activity! I appreciate the special interest the assistant GM Ashley took in my child when he was not improving as quickly. She matched him up in another class with Ruth and my son improved by leaps and bounds. There are two closer swim schools to our house, but we chose to drive here to Goldfish Lake Ridge. They go the extra mile at every lesson, so I drive the extra mile to get here.

I recently enrolled my child at [goldfish swim school] and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by friendly staff who made us feel welcome and comfortable. The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and had a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The instructors at [goldfish swim school] are top-notch. They are not only highly skilled and experienced but also incredibly patient and encouraging. My child was initially nervous about learning to swim, but the instructor's approach helped build confidence and skills in a fun and supportive way.

I love that the classes are small in size, allowing for more personalized attention and feedback. The progression of skills is well-thought-out, and I could see my child making significant improvements after each lesson.

Overall, I highly recommend [goldfish swim School] to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and effective swim school for their child. The combination of excellent instructors, welcoming environment, and structured lessons make it a standout choice in the community. My child now looks forward to every lesson, and I am thrilled to see the progress being made. Thank you, [goldfish], for a wonderful experience!

My son attended Goldfish Swim School this summer and early fall and had a great time. I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the facility and its equipment. The staff were very caring and showed great interest in your experience with them. There were definitely coach concerns and high turnover that resulted in many new faces and several trainable moments but I am confident that the Goldfish staff will be implementing ideas in the near future to have consistent quality coaches. I would also like to honorably mention coach Danny. He is a spectacular manager, coach, and a delightful human. His expertise makes me confident to give Goldfish Swim another try come spring.

Try at your own risk! Not only do they have a high swim instructor turnover rate the management staff specifically Ashley G. is completely incompetent and rude! They do not uphold preference nor do they accommodate when they make mistakes such as sudden class changes, or miscommunication on instructors of the day which is constantly changing not every instructor is trained for every level making the need for proper communication and scheduling incredibly important. Most of the instructors are extremely young and unfocused. They do a great job with children's interest it's the inconsistency and safety that makes this location in particular questionable.

1. I feel like the instructors could be more engaging. Sometimes they comes off as lethargic
2. Would like to see teachers have hands on experience with children when parents feel uncomfortable with beginner course
3. 30 minute class seem short and should be longer. Most times classes seem to be cut short allowing only 20 minutes for class. Potentially should be 45-1hr

Plus side:y
1. Staff overall is really nice and knows my child
2. Facility is really clean
3. Love the heated pool. Makes it easy to persuade child into pool

Goldfish swim school has exceeded our expectations so far. My 1 year-old has been taking lessons there for a month now and she is really starting to enjoy it. The facility is clean, the instructors are helpful, and the staff is overall friendly.

Our experience here has been great! Staff is friendly and our child loves it here. Small class sizes, easy to make up classes, and our child is doing great. I highly recommend.

My daughter is absolutely obsessed with going to swim class. She starts counting down the days until the next class, as soon as she is finished with class that day!! So glad we finally signed her up!

updated review (previously 5 star review also) My 2 kids have been enrolled at Goldfish swim school since they opened in March. Both (2 & 7 year old) have made so much progress and are excited to go each week. My daughter has Cameron (Glider 1) and my son had Ellie & Ashley, before moving up to Mini 3. The coaches that we've had are great and we are very happy there.

Absolutely amazing experience comparing to other location of the same chain. Management is very helpful and understanding, instructors are on point. BOTH of my kids developed a lot since we started going there. General manager Mike helped us out when we needed. My sons loves his instructor Ashley. You rock guys!

Very nice and safe place for infant, toddlers and kids to learn swimming. I took my 4year old daughter and she was scared of water. The instructor was so nice and friendly that now she loves to learn swimming. Kudos to Jayden (her swim instructor). He is super helpful and she likes the way he teaches.
Thank you Jayden. You're awesome.

Extremely inflexible - You can only cancel in person. I asked if they could email me the forms like other swim schools and I was told that I had to sign the documents in person.

All of the instructors at Goldfish are incredible. My three yesr old is very stubborn and puts up a fight almost every week, and the instructors are so patient with him to get him into the water. Once he's in, he is great! They've helped develop my oldest child's confidence in the water, too. The staff is amazing.

Membership at Goldfish Swim of Lakeridge has been a joy! The instructors are great and really seem to enjoy teaching the children new water skills. The pool area nice and the changing area/ facilities are always clean and tidy.

My kids are loving their swim lessons! As a parent, I'm very happy to see so many employees on the pool deck watching the swimmers - especially the younger ones. This is not the case everywhere and one of our kids almost drowned because there were no lifeguards or extra employees watching the swimmers. Facilities are clean, cheerful, and welcoming. Instructors are kind and positive meeting all my kids at their skill level!

Whoever is running this location is completely unprofessional. I’m not sure he even know how to swim.
