I can’t say enough good things about Goldfish Swim School! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and a genuinely happy energy that made my child (and me!) feel comfortable right away. The bright, tropical atmosphere instantly sets the tone — it feels like stepping into a mini vacation, not just a swim lesson! 🌴☀️
The instructors are absolute rockstars — patient, encouraging, and truly invested in every child’s progress. My little one went from being nervous around water to jumping in with confidence and HUGE smiles after just a few weeks. 🙌 They make learning fun, using games, songs, and positive reinforcement that keeps kids excited to come back.
I also love how organized everything is — from flexible scheduling and clean facilities to the thoughtful touches like the Goldfish Treasure Box and family-friendly changing areas. It’s clear they’ve thought about every detail to make the experience stress-free for parents and magical for kids. 💛
If you’re looking for a place that combines safety, skill-building, and fun, this is it. Goldfish Swim School doesn’t just teach swimming — they build confidence, life skills, and a love for the water. 🌊✨
10/10 recommend — we’re proud to be part of the Goldfish family! 🐠💙

I’m very happy with Goldfish swim School me & my wife decided to switch from the swim school on broad Street due to the fact that every time my son attended swim class it was a different instructor so we felt he couldn’t grow due to the different teaching techniques every time. That was the best decision for our boy since starting here we’ve seen a tremendous growth Plus, he’s with the same instructor every week no changes.. 😄 no complaints at all . Nice place nice staff nice instructors + warm swim area… would recommend this place too everyone..

Goldfish Swim School is friendly, professional, and helpful. They will work with your child patiently even if they have a fear of water and get them to where they need to be as they transition to different levels of swimming. My child's confidence for swimming has increased significantly. I would highly recommend them.

We’ve been members of Goldfish swim for the last 3 years with our now 3 and 6 year old. Something clicked with our older daughter when she was 4 and she went from not really swimming at all at the beginning of the summer and jumping off the diving board by the end of the summer! GFS was instrumental in making her a fantastic swimmer and getting her excited about it in the process. Everyone is wonderful with the kids and they deal with upset children super well (better than I would, for sure!). The staff is always crazy friendly and they bend over backwards to accommodate your needs. It’s worth the money as a great activity to do and the peace of mind I now have around water with my kiddos. We look forward to many more years at Goldfish!

We’ve only been going about a month now but I can not say enough positive things about this organization! We had previously done swim classes for our daughter at another company (not going to name) and we have seen far superior results here! Very organized, and has gotten our daughter to face so many of her water fears with vast improvements already.
They even offer a family day where all of us could swim together and they provided pizza and activities as well which was very thoughtful.

Love Goldfish Swim School 🐠
My daughter has been apart of the Goldfish family since 2020. I have watched my daughter progress from a newbie to a confident swimmer. They treat her like family, root her on to help her progress in the skills she needs to be able to swim and move to the next level. My daughter has a brachial plexus injury to her left arm which hinders her from progressing faster than other students; however, the Goldfish teachers have been so patient working with her, helping her overcome her limitations, and it really shows. Again, words can not express how happy I am that we decided to join Goldfish!

Goldfish Swim School is a truly special place. Our two children have been taking lessons there for over two years and the staff really gets to know all the students and their families. My oldest is now a confident, independent swimmer, despite coming to Goldfish with an extreme anxiety about swimming due to a very negative and traumatic experience at his previous swim school, which I’ll leave unnamed. He left his first lesson at Goldfish with a huge smile ready to return, despite having experienced day long panic attacks before lessons at his previous school. We weren’t sure he’d ever get over his fears but the swim instructors at Goldfish really work to meet kids where they are at and they helped our son very quickly develop a positive relationship with swimming. We cannot thank Goldfish enough for making both our children feel comfortable and confident in the water. Every swim instructor has showed such care and patience with all their students. It is really worth every penny to see our kids thrive and learn a critical life skill.

We love Goldfish! Our son had a very rough start at the beginning of the year, and we were anxious about him continuing. However, just four weeks (lessons) later he stopped crying and being afraid to join class, and started thriving and taking in the instructions. He looks forward to it every week! We've been there for less than a year but he's advanced to the next level and doing well. My only criticism (if any) is that you can definitely tell a difference in instructors and his progress. If the instructors are enthusiastic during class, he's much more apt to learn. If the instructors aren't engaged or excited, neither is he and he won't do as well. Additionally, if the instructors aren't familiar with him (like a substitute coach or makeup class) they don't allow him to fully practice a skill like his normal instructor would. We absolutely love the instructors, though, who have done an excellent job with him!

Goldfish Swim School Richmond West End has been a part of my family’s lives since 2020 when we enrolled my daughter in the Mini 2’s class. We’ve watched her confidence and skills grow and grow as she’s progressed through the levels. Now with my second kid enrolled we’re enjoying those same results. The coaches, staff and team are top notch and we wouldn’t think of going anywhere else! Thank you Goldfish Swim School!

We have been going to Goldfish Swim School - Richmond West End since my daughter was around 9 months old (she’s 4 now!) Every employee who works here from front desk to swim coaches are so kind and invested in the progress of each student. We now have a 9 month old son who joined at 4 months and he’s loving it just as much!

Goldfish has helped our kiddo become a confident swimmer! He’s so close to mastering independent swimming skills and we see that translating into the pool outside of swim class.

I have 3 kids that are in classes of varying levels and they all love it. My youngest is in the baby class and enjoys swimming and splashing while learning basic water skills. My older two have been attending for only a few months and the difference between their start and now in their confidence and abilities is astronomical. They LOVE their coaches that work hard to make sure theyre learning safe and proper technique. We havent had the pleasure of working with all the coaches but every single person have met working here are friendly and clearly passionate about the kids and teaching them.

Goldfish Swim School has been a game changer for our 3.5 year old. We had tried 1-1 lessons at our local pool but our daughter remained timid and scared to put her head under the water. We started with a Jumpstart Clinic at Goldfish at the end of the summer and our daughter was transformed. She put her head in the water (and now willingly did so playing at our pool). Goldfish instilled her with the confidence to be begin swimming and floating on her own (something we didn't imagine happening until next summer or later!). Highly recommend!

We have been really impressed with our daughter’s experience at Goldfish. She started in the parent/child classes and has worked her way into the independent small group classes. The instructors take time to connect with the kids in a way that make the lessons fun and engaging. The instructors provide ongoing feedback and tips for working on skills at home. The facility is clean and the front desk staff is welcoming. Our daughter has gained so much confidence in the water and looks forward to her weekly lessons!

We started at goldfish about a month ago and Chris has literally been an angel to my 4 year old son. He is so patient with him and has made him so comfortable and confident in the water. All of the parents speak so highly of Chris so I’m so thankful that my son was able to witness his greatness with private lessons!

Our young kids have been going here for over a year. The facility is pretty well maintained and all the staff are great. Coach Chris has been so great for my son who is apprehensive about the water. He is patient and kind and usually can get him to push himself just a little harder to make progress. We’re very grateful to all the staff and coaches who are professional, understanding, and kind. They’re also very helpful about scheduling make-ups and stuff like that.

We’ve been taking our daughter (6) to goldfish for almost a month now, and we’ve had nothing but wonderful interactions with everyone. The staff greeting you at the front desk are always friendly, and welcoming. Our first class my daughter was extremely excited to see her name on the welcome board. They showed us around the facility, and gave us instruction on how the classes work. The swim instructors are enthusiastic about swimming, and are very vigilant about water safety. The instructor always gives you a report at the end of the lesson on what they have worked on in the lesson that day, and what the goals are for future lessons. The instructors encourage swimmers to achieve the goals they’ve set without being forceful. If you’re looking for swim lessons for your children, I highly recommend Goldfish!

We love goldfish swim school! My son (7) is autistic and learning to swim became an urgent priority this year. Coach Nat has been so patient and understanding of his particular needs. he has been able to move at a comfortable pace for him and is given space to stem when he feels the urge. In a few short lessons he was going underwater and swimming with confidence at our home pool. For a child that was afraid to get his head wet a few weeks ago Coach Nat and the whole crew at goldfish have been really great with my boy. We couldn't be more pleased with the treatment and acceptance we have felt in our time with the school.

We recently started our kids at Goldfish Swim School and I’m already impressed. When each of our kids was nervous about getting in the water, the manager Sam kindly and patiently took them and guided them into the water and stayed with them till they felt comfortable. For one, she provided one-on-one support for the whole first class. I’m very appreciative of the gentle approach of the staff and the school as a whole. I always feel they are safe and they are learning real skills.

We love being apart of the Goldfish family! From the initial greeting from Kaileigh and the front desk staff, everyone is so nice! The lessons are amazing, we have been with Coach Kae since our little guys was 12 months old, we love her! She knows exactly how to push the kids to get the most out of the kids, even on their silliest days! She truly builds strong bonds with each of her kids, all the moms in the Galley are fans of Coach Kae!! If you're looking for an awesome place that will teach your kids not only survival skills in the water but also how to swim building on each skill, Goldfish is the place!

We love Goldfish Swim School! The coaches and front desk staff are phenomenal! They have helped my child go from novice to able to swim well enough the save their life and climb out of a pool in just a few months. Goldfish emphasizes safety and helps all kids succeed through the use of encouragement, play and repetition. I love the way progress can be tracked on the app as well as speaking with the coaches after class. I love how Goldfish uses encouragement and gentle pushes to get children to face their fears and learn instead of scaring the kids with the “they will cry but get over it. Sink or swim” mentality. Thank you Goldfish for everything!
