Question

Has anyone taken their little ones to the Goldfish Swim School? I want to try it with my 8month old daughter by starting with open swim. Does anyone know the price?  

Answer 1

We love it! Both of my girls swim there and started at about 8 months. Take advantage of the free trial lesson. it’ll give you a better picture than the open swim (although those are fun too). I think if you tell them we referred you we both get a month free (at least they used to run this deal. ).

@triable oh awesome! I just thought to introduce her to the water but I will do the trial class! Any idea how much the open swim cost?

@unto I think it’s about $5 and you only pay for the kids. When you are a member they give you passes to open swims too. And yes open swim is a great exposure! The water is so warm so that helps too.  

---

@triable Can you refer multiple people? ☺️

---

@russom I think so!  

---

@triable oh good! So happy to hear that mama is not getting in a cold pool  

---

@unto haha I am the same way!  

---

And I love that if you have to cancel (hello flu season) you can schedule make up classes anytime within a year.  

---

@russom I have an email I can send you about it if you want to send me yours.  

---

@unto send me your email too if you want. it’s not a whole month free but still worth it  

Answer 2

You can do a free trial lesson which would give you a feel for it!

I think it’s like $85 a month now for lessons. Somewhere around that.

@footman oh awesome thank you!  

---

I went twice a week with my kiddo. they are only 30 min lessons. My daughter was finally getting comfy after 20 minutes so it didn't work for us and we did it a while.  

Answer 3

I took my son last summer starting at 11 months. He loved it! I believe it was $80 a month. It's 1 30min class every week. We really enjoyed it but decided to cancel after the summer just to save some money. You can do a trial class.

@dismay good to know thank you!  

---

@unto you're welcome. Price was definitely 80 something. 80 or 88 is stuck in my mind. He really did enjoy it though!  

---

@dismay any idea how much open swim costs?  

---

@unto no idea. I'm not sure if you have to be a member to do open swim? I know they offer free family swims sometimes. I get emails about those.  

---

@dismay oh perfect thank you! ❤️

Answer 4

Do the free trial and make your decision; we were unimpressed

@saucepan aw really why is that?  

---

@unto it was very much like an assembly line. We spent 30minutes in the pool with the instructor and she didn’t even recognize me when I asked her a question outside of the pool after we changed. Very poor customer service in my opinion and I’m in the service industry.  

Answer 5

I have done swim lessons with both my boys starting young (like 6 mos) and honestly, unless they are afraid of the water or you just want something to do with them, it’s a waste of time and money until they are a bit older and actually understand and retain the lessons. Imo.  

Answer 6

We’ve been at goldfish since my son was 9 months. He’s 3. Highly recommend. Do the free trial class. I may even have free family swim passes if you want to pm me and I can look tomorrow  

Answer 7

Shane and Mia went there! Rowen was in class at 9 months and it was great.
