Goldfish Swim School - Colonie

I really appreciate the very small class sizes that let the instructors focus on teaching limited, specific skills per class. My kids have gained a lot of new skills very quickly. The cost is a little high but it's a good option during COVID when other options are so limited.n.

I'm grateful for and impressed by how well the swim school has been run during the pandemic, which no doubt has been a very difficult time to run a swim school. Thank you to Erin, Josh, and the staff here in Colonie for keeping the swim school open and doing their best to get kids and families in the water! We always enjoy our time there.

My 10 month old son loves his swim lessons at Goldfish! All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. The inside of the building is nothing short of boring- there are murals of sea animals, a tiki themed lobby, and a fish tank that all of the kids admire. Although we are currently in a pandemic I do not have to worry when I walk into Goldfish. They ensure everyone wears a mask and stays socially distant. They also sanitize the changing rooms between every use which I really appreciate because no matter how cute your kid is- they’re all germ monsters. The instructors wear face shields and all items are sanitized between lessons. The classes are very organized, fun, and interactive. It’s reassuring as a parent to know my child is learning necessary water safety skills. We have only been attending for a couple months but the progress my 10 month old has already made is incredible! My husband and I highly recommend Goldfish Swim School!

Our favorite thing about goldfish is the associates who work there. Riley is my son's teacher. We love Riley! We love the fun learning atmosphere. I have referred several people because this is such a great place to learn to love swimming. We also really enjoy that everything is so functional while also being pleasing to the eye. The dressing rooms are cute. The whole facility is always immaculate. I enjoy that they have the little store so I can purchase goggles and swim caps. My son and I also love the swimsuit spinner. He loves making it work and I love that I don't have to take a sopping wet suit home. I think this is a great venue with a great staff that does an excellent job!

My son has become a fish in the water since attending Goldfish. My son is 10 months old and he started when he was 7 months. He loves being there and always has a smile on his face. Our instructor Jo is amazing. We have went to other classes for a make up day and Jo is by far the best. She has a great personality and you can tell she really enjoys her job and being around the babies. She is hands on too. If I am doing something the wrong way she comes over and helps us. I can’t say enough about her!
