Goldfish Swim School Review- My five year old and one year old have been taking swim lessons at Goldfish Swim School for six months. I wanted to share our experience with swim lessons because they’ve been such a positive asset to our lives.

Our five year old daughter has taken a few swim lessons off and on since she was about six months old. She has always been happy to swim and go under water but we worried about her safety if she were to ever fall in the deep end or a lake. Drowning can take seconds and we want to prepare our daughters to save themselves.

Sophia started out happy to play around at swim lessons but soon learned that she was actually learning how to swim and be confident in herself.
Goldfish Swim School said it perfectly:

By taking swimming lessons at Goldfish Swim School, kids learn even more skills that are important in school as well. Like what? Waiting for their turn, being patient, following directions, comprehension, listening to teachers, and even more!

Great Skills for School

Our daughter now knows that when she’s in swim lessons it’s a time to be patient, respectful of her teacher and other students and be a good listener. She has felt so proud each time she gets a ribbon showing she’s mastered a new skill. She hangs them on a cork board we have at home as little reminders of her swimming journey.

We do the same for Lilly although she has no idea what’s going on most of the time! She has definitely improved from six months ago. She started at six months of age and was kind of just there. Now she’s happily kicking and paddling through the pool. She can listen to instructions when the teacher says to put the balls in the box! I will continue to keep Lilly in swim lessons each week until she’s (at least) mastered rolling over when she falls in. Consistency is key with swimming lessons because they can forget so quickly at this young age.

Overall, I give Goldfish Swim School an A+ on teaching my girls how to be confident in the water. We have been happy with all of the staff, the ease of switching around lesson times and the facilities are amazing. If you’re considering signing up for lessons, ask me any questions you might have!
