Great program, there is a skill set kids have to master and then get to advance levels. My kids love getting ribbons each time they move up. So much flexibility in class scheduling and times.

Moe, our sons instructor, has been wonderful. He went from not wanting to even get in the pool or getting his head wet to doing these things without hesitation in just the first couple of sessions! His confidence has skyrocketed and theres not a doubt in our minds that its due to Moes skill as an instructor and the care she provides our son. Shes so patient and provides such a safe and caring environment which is so important when trying to teach a child who has never had any formal lesson in swimming. Our son looks forward to his lesson every week and we look forward to watching the progress he makes. Thank you for helping our son get closer to our goal for him which is learning the basics of water safety and building confidence.

4 kids per lane / 20 minute lessons = no more than 5 minutes of hands on in water experience. Our kid hasnt drowned, so an extra star earned for that!A really nice systemic method of swim instruction is a very safe environment. As best I can tell, methods for recording progression do not exist so watch the progress yourself and suggest when its time to advance. Purchased some family time to have 1/2 the pool to ourselves and had a great time. Staff are courteous and very professional with every interaction.

Was turned onto this by my daughter’s grandparents. As someone who had experience in teacher swimming back in my high school days, these guys are right on task, doing the same lessons in the same order I taught but with better equipment (hurray for capitalism over public schools). While I noticed a review or two talking about “disorganization” and “too many students,” this is light compared to the six to ten per instructor we dealt with and is fast compared to the old check in we dealt with, so I find no problems. You want “better,” teach your kid yourselves. I would if I wasn’t recovering from surgery.

Our kiddos are making great progress as swimmers with Goldfish Swim School! More importantly, they are having fun and making connections with their teachers. All of the staff at Goldfish has been very helpful and I can tell they have our kids best interest in mind.

Beautiful facility, with high cleanliness standards. Front desk staff always responsive, cheerful and helpful. Coaches are great; engaging, encouraging, patient. Practice-practice-practicing with the kids until the muscle memory develops. My son loves the pool and is confident in the water, thanks to the skills he learned at Goldfish.

We have my daughters little girl for the summer and we wanted her to get in some swimming lessons while she is here. She is enjoying it. The swim coaches appear to be very patient with the kids and shes getting better each time. So far, I like what I see.

I really love how friendly the staff is and how they respond to questions or concerns very quickly via email or by phone. I would and have recommended Goldfish to a couple friends that have enrolled their children also and love it. The only small problem is I feel the one parent/guardian per student needs to be enforced more. There has been a few occasions when I brought my daughter in to swim that families have brought in more then just one parent making it a little hard to get a seat or the ability to see my daughter swim without having to let the family know that they are blocking the view.

I called Goldfish Swim School at the beginning of the summer, desperate. My 6 yr old missed out on swimming lessons last year because of the pandemic and she needed help and fast. She refused to put her head under water or try anything we showed her so she was destined to stay in the shallow end all summer, while all her friends played in the deep end. Sara told me about the Jump Start Clinic, which sounded perfect. It was pricey, so I was a little hesitant given 6s resistance, but Sara assured me they would work with me if 6 didnt make any progress. At the end of the week, it wasnt looking good. 6 did everything required of her during class, but still refused to put her head underwater at the neighborhood pool. But the next week, something clicked. And she began practicing what shed learned. I signed her up for weekly classes. After only two more classes, she is already a hundred times more confident in the water. In fact, yesterday she learned to somersault. Its hard to believe that just five weeks ago, she was refusing to put her head underwater. Goldfish is pricey, but worth every penny for kids who need a little extra assistance learning to swim.

If I could put zero stars I would. I visited this place in the beginning of June of 2021. This place is so disorganized. Once my baby and I arrived, we weren’t even greeted at the entrance. We walked up to the front desk and ask about the class and they just gave us a brief explanation on what time the class started and where to go. Once my baby and I finally got in the water it was just him and I. The instructor didn’t show any sympathy, wasn’t giving us any instructions or what to do. For the 30 minutes of the class we were just standing there in the water. Finally after the class, we proceed to the changing rooms. The changing rooms were so dirty and small. Finally, we walked up to the front desk and told them we had to pay for that one class, the receptionist insisted into paying for a monthly class. We explained about the situation and how we didn’t like the class or coordination. The receptionist got upset and cut me off in the middle of my sentence and then she proceeded to charge me for that one single class. As I was told prior to going to the class, that it will be only $30.00 for my baby to try it out. Later then after I received a receipt of $55.00. I called and no one answered me. Till this day I’ve been trying to reach out to them for an explanation, unlucky I haven’t received a response. Due to this I’m explaining my situation and leaving my review of his awful place.

The teachers were fun and enthusiastic and very sweet to our 3 year old. She had a lot of trouble participating without mom in the water too, and the teachers were so sweet and worked as hard as they could to comfort her and give personalized attention.

My daughter and I love coming here! Their setup, organization and friendliness make it a wonderful experience.

Seems like a nice swim school for kids. It was clean in there too.

We have loved being able to introduce water safety to our little one at such an early age. We love the parent-baby lessons and socialization our little one gets while being introduced to water and how to be safe in it. We will continue to use Goldfish Swim School as long as we can.

Friendly and helpful staff! Great teachers!

At this point weve only taken our first lesson, but weve been impressed with the facility. Parents get to hang out for the half-hour lesson on the other side of a glass window so kiddos get the opportunity to see that their parents are still here supporting them. There is a small shop, candy, plenty of changing rooms and driers. There is no free swim area that is open all the time, but they do have a couple free swim intervals per week.

Friendly, knowledgeable, staff. Establishment is clean & well organized.

The instructors are good for the most part, but what bugs me is the bathrooms NEVER have any soap. And you have to get there early to get a seat in the viewing area, otherwise youll have to stand the the entire time.

We have been swimming at Goldfish for almost a year and my 8 year old son loves it. He was super psyched to advance and start swim force

Both my boys have attended GSS and I couldnt be more thrilled with the swim school. We have attended other swim schools in the past, and the care, professionalism and all around awesomeness far surpasses the other two swim schools we have attended. The team is very responsive to any questions we have had and cares deeply about their clients. Thank you Goldfish for playing such an important role in my boys development!

My daughter loves this place. The staff are friendly and very attentive.

Thank you Goldfish for following Covid protocols. Saw chairs, door handles, bathrooms, and changing rooms being wiped down frequently. Employees helpful and kind.

Goldfish swim school in Stapleton has done a tremendous amount of work to get these kids back in the pool during COVID pandemic. We feel safe going to swim lessons with all the safety changes they made. Staff and swim instructors are kind, patient, and very helpful. Thanks for making this a fun experience to learn such an important life skill.

We love the instructors, the management, and the facility! We feel safe to continue lessons and our kids love to get in the pool, especially as the weather turns colder! Thanks for all you do!

This school has wonderful instructors that really push my daughter and build her confidence.

A wonderful swim school with great COVID practices and very flexible cancellation/reschedule options. We love it!

Teachers are really attentive. doing a good job keeping everything clean.

Having such low ratios allows more one on one time. Mia absolutely hated being on her back in the water, and now she is doing great! Lilly says she loved floating on her back as well. They give me tips on what needs work, and they are very patient with the children. My husband likes the fact he doesnt have to go in the water (he doesnt like swimming) so we all enjoy it 😁

I have always loved Goldfish! As a former swim instructor, I have always said that they had it figured out - great class sizes, different levels, ribbons, weekly prizes, gender neutral changing rooms, warm pool, and ledge for kids to sit on. Amazing!Now I am a nurse and I appreciate all the attention to detail they are offering for our safety. I will be honest - I was heartbroken at the idea of maybe having to cancel our membership with covid cases increasing. However - they have everyones safety in mind! Sanitizer, face shield for instructors, social distancing in lobby, and now they have dividers between the kids! The kids that are waiting for their turn are not breathing on each other - there is a partition. Genius! I can not thank them enough! I now feel like I do not have to choose between safety and the physical/emotion health of my son (especially as things get colder and there are less options for physical activity!). THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

My son is currently attending the Stapleton location and we absolutely love it and everyone that works there, the instructors are patient, kind and caring with all lil fish students. Its not just 5 star its 10+.

This place is awesome yes maybe a little pricey for a half hour one week....but of the instructors that work with my granddaughter which includes OJ, Luke & best of all hey girl by the name of Greta that just made my granddaughter feel absolutely comfortable her first lesson before that we spent the whole 45 minutes with her crying I was afraid to take her back I spoke to one of the girls they said the best thing to do was to bring her back she would be OK they gave me some reading material on why she still cries which made me a lot more comfortable! I spoke to the owner Amy this morning about a certain situation and she was awesome I wouldnt take my grandkids anywhere else!

I really like the facilities, it is well maintained and clean, they have everything you need. They have a lot of hours available including weekends, which is convenient for parents who work and do not have flexible schedules, I like the classes and the fact that before the class ends they tell you how your child did. I have used other swimming schools before and this one is by far the best.

The infant class I had my daughter in lost its regular instructor. Since then weve had a different instructor each week. Some of the instructors were really good; most were mediocre at best. The class follows the exact same format and is nothing you couldnt do on your own at the rec center. Also, their missed class and cancellation policy is unnecessarily onerous.

Friendly staff and a very clean facility. My kid enjoyed his lesson and asked to go back

Goldfish Swim School is a wonderful place for swim lessons! I wish it had been around when my kids were younger, but so happy to have it in our neighborhood now.My daughter has been on a swim team for the last 3 summers but needed some work on refining her strokes, learning flip turns and just making her strokes more efficient overall.The student to teacher ratio is low and the instructors are in the water with the kids helping them the whole time.She has improved so much in the two months weve been here!

We have been using our local rec center the past couple years. We know our oldest has been ready to move on to something more challenging and structured but were unimpressed with the swim schools in the area. We were super excited to have Goldfish Swim School open up so close to us. Our son is already advancing after 4 lessons, and our daughter is more comfortable in the water. The instructors are knowledgeable, professional and the kids receive a good balance of fun and structure. The staff and owners are extremely welcoming and helpful. We feel like family there. ❤

The whole staff is amazing! Someone at the front desk always greets us. Mr. Marcelius is so patient and kind. The facility is always clean. All the other parents are very pleasant as well!

Highly recommend Goldfish Swim School! Weve taken our kids there and seen great improvement in their skills. Feels good to know they can swim in case they ever ended up in a pool without mom or dad. The staff is friendly, they have a good flow in place for the classes and everything is easy.

We have my 1.5 year old and my 6 year old in swim lessons. The teachers are great. They offer individualized classes or group classes. Much better than Denver parks and rec! Special shout out to Hannah the instructor for my 1.5 year old Nadia! She makes the class fun and entertaining.

The staff, the lessons, the facility - everything here is top notch. We are incredibly happy with the progress we have seen in both of our kids development. This is the best Goldfish school there is!

Amazing facility with everything so well thought out... heated pool, huge window for parents to watch, showers right next to pool, changing stations and hair dryers... you thought of it all! And the swim coaches are on point and give great feedback. My kids have made so much progress in just 4 weeks! We went to a different place prior to finding your swim school and it had NONE of these things. We are so grateful we found Gold Fish Swim School! Thank you!

My response to the owner:The number you provided is the number I called. You just made up my mind to not send either of my children there. Although I appreciate that you took the time to respond, your response doesnt offer any sort of apology or attempt to better train your staff. When a parent calls to enroll their child, information should be given freely. In a society where people have an abundance of options, your staff should be trained to make people feel comfortable and want to send their child there.We really wanted to try Goldfish for our daughter but when I asked about their program the woman on the phone told me the price and the name of the class and thats it. I continued to try to get information from her but it was like pulling teeth and when our call was over I still dont feel like I know anything about their program or pool. This location is closer to us but I guess well stick with the place we currently take our son to.

Wonderful experience! Seriously, the best place to get your kids learning how to swim. They are so helpful and friendly, the facility is clean and everything about it is just EASY! I even drive from Thornton, where we tried rec center lessons that always felt like a hassle and an added annoyance to my day. Now, I look forward to swim lessons and love every minute of it! My 3 kids and I love Goldfish so much!!

My son loves coming to swim at Goldfish Swim School! He has had a wonderful experience learning from the supportive and encouraging instructors. It is exciting to see his progress each week!

Love the teachers and location is very clean

This swim school is so well organized, it has helpful staff and friendly instructors. They have moved up our child when she’s gained the necessary skills without us prompting as well as going above and beyond by calling to let us know when there’s a substitute instructor. Can’t say enough good things about Goldfish Swim School!

We signed up right after they opened and my son really enjoyed the classes. However, there has been ALOT of turnover and there are some great instructors and some that arent worth paying for at all (honestly). I was disappointed that after an entire year at $85/month my 8yr son was still at the same basic level and when I gave notice no one ever contacted me when I left very polite feedback about why I was leaving temporarily.

Goldfish has such an amazing and friendly staff. All the teachers are so patient and encouraging with my kids when they are struggling with a skill or fear. Their focus on technique with my older kids has helped make them efficient and safer swimmers.

It’s been a joy to see our son steadily progress with his swimming skills and confidence in the water—the small class sizes make a tremendous difference! The staff (administrative and instructors) all have been helpful and approachable—Celeste, in particular, was wonderful to work with on scheduling requests.

My 11 months old has been going there for water safety skills for more than a month now. We love that the location is convenient within biking/walking distance. Staff are friendly and attentive to your needs, swim instructor my baby has is friendly and nice. Im giving a 3* because of the rescheduling policy. Called in to cx and tried to reschedule a lesson for the first time, and was told that I could not rescheduled until after the scheduled lesson took place, even 1 min after is fine. Even though I was trying to reschedule for a date after the scheduled lesson, but couldnt. For my family, who runs on activities around another kid and husbands working schedule. Id love to have it on my calendar to plan my week out as far I can, but its not possible with this place. There might be reasons behind this policy, but Im not a fan.

The owners are incredibly caring and personable. Their passion for children is evident in all of their staff. Could not be happier with my experience.

Great place to bring your kids. My daughter loves Marcellus. He pushes her to swim on her own. My daughter was very afraid of water, & he taught her technique to feel more comfortable. The reason why I am giving it 3 stars, is because the amount I pay a month, for 30 mins lesson with 3 or 4 kids in her swim class. So there not much one on one hands on. She goes on wed & thur evenings. I feel like, there should be a options on a private lesson, one on one, for 30 mins.

Kind and helpful staff. Great lesson plans. My son loves coming to lessons twice a week! Thanks to the wonderful Goldfish team!

My children have been swimming at Goldfish for over a year and a half and have not progressed at all. My son’s teacher always seems to be upset and my son comes home telling me that his teacher always gets upset when he struggles in his class. My daughter is only 3 and cries when she gets in the pool and her teacher seems very frustrated and just lets her sit out and doesn’t try to reassure her. One time she almost threw up because she was crying so much but her teacher seemed indifferent about it. This makes me want to withdraw them and find a different school for them to swim at because I feel like they aren’t supported here. If I could leave zero stars, I would. But since I can’t, one star will have to suffice.

Kids have only had 2 lessons and they LOVE it. Staff is very friendly. Classes are small and kids are getting full 30 minutes of water time. They have learned more in 2 lessons then they did in 3 months at prior swim lessons place. (Ages 8-10)

We are having a fantastic experience at this school! The owner, the instructors, everyone has been top notch! We saw very noticeable improvements immediately.

Beautiful facility, fantastic staff and so much great progress in my little swimmers!!

Awesome facility and great staff everyone is always friendly and helpful! Great swim school. Definitely recommended.

The team and the swim instructors are wonderful! The facility is clean and so easy to use with little ones!

Great place good atmosphere good teachers most of the time. Would definitely recommend.

Just had our first class with our two little girls and absolutely loved it! Best decision we made

Called in the morning a few hours before my sons swim class to reschedule due to a family circumstance that had come up. I was told to call back even if it was just a minute after my sont scheduled time and that they could reschedule at that point. Well, I called back at 1:30 (they close at 4) and called back 3 times before they closed leaving voicemails. Just doing as I was told to do, and call back, and nobody could pick up or answer. The only reason there are three stars on this review is because the swim coach my son sees is very nice and good with the kids and super good at teaching young children to swim. But their office crew... is another story.

Goldfish swim school is such a great facility very welcoming, I especially enjoy my son’s swim instructor she is just so patient and encouraging!

Amy and her staff did a great job integrating some difficult schedules my daughter loves swim class and we are please with her progress!

Great staff. Good lessons. Open swim is a plus in winter!

Our daughter is learning so much! Great swim program!

Great experience at Goldfish swim. They are so attentive and patient with each child.

Love this place. Kids are going well with the lessons.

Nice atmosphere for little ones to learn to swim in a warm, safe environment. Clean conditions, friendly desk staff.

Very nice and flexible!

Because we can learn how to swim

Fun place to work!
