William Jones: It is nice for kids and teens

Donielle Buie: Love the warm pool for all my kids, including one with a chronic illness. The structure of the classes helps the kids make real progress!

Patrick S: A well run and efficient center that is expensive and ineffective at teaching kids to swim.My kids attended from September 2021 until June 2022 and neither progressed in their ability to swim. Is this because my children are flawed, or is it because the instructors are ineffective? My older child faced many changes in instructors over this time, limiting his ability to develop any kind of consistency. Obviously the new staff he saw each week were unaware of his history and unable to encourage him effectively to overcome his fears. My daughter did have a consistent instructor, but he focused primarily on getting kids comfortable with water and sped through the skills without teaching them.In all this time the kids were supposed to be evaluated monthly. My son was only evaluated four times and my daughter three. My son progressed on only two of the ten skills evaluated. My daughter progressed on two and went backwards on five.The place is clean and efficient. The staff are friendly. But what’s the point if they don’t learn to swim?(And to the manager who responds to negative reviews with a request for a call, don’t bother. I did call. Your staff responded “well, kids are at different levels.” Yes, and it’s your job to teach them so that they progress.)

Ber Almeida: My 6 year old was not very pleased with the academy, and one day there was an issue they had with staff calling out. The manager Tim stepped in and was able to offer very surprising and amazing options, he asked Anna to take the class, she was very sweet and patient. After that session my kid said that was the best class she ever had at the school. I understand that there are issues in business but the way to handle situations and solve those issues, Tim was really kind and really exceeded our expectations. If we stay in the Brookline area, we will continue to attend.Also a big shout out to Mak, for her loving way to teach and the positive impact she has made in my 3 year old daughter, Tess will always remember you with a smile.

David Fidler: Good set up for young kids learning to swim

Robert Jones: Rude instructors, disorganized and unprofessional.

sarah barrett: My son, Finnegan, wouldn't put his face in the water before coming to Goldfish - after his first 30 minute trial lesson, he was eager to go back. Within a month he was begging for more time in the water at the end of his lessons. Within a few more weeks, he was putting his face in the water in the shower after class - without his goggles! He has made incredible improvement and I am so thrilled and impressed by his success. Thank you Goldfish Brookline!! Ps. I love that you give out ribbons at the end of each class - we have them hanging in his room - it provides such motivation & positive reinforcement!!

Paivi Albaiti: Warm water, great teachers and pleasant atmosphere, my kids are finally enjoying their swimming classes!

R. Swartz: They are not transparent with their no refund policy. No mention was made upon payment, nor are there any signs on location stating "no refund." The staff is not accommodating to parents that are paying the high membership fees! The staff at the front desk is rude and not willing at all to help. Good luck getting a call back. You would think they would be welcoming and a little more warm to someone who was sending their kid there for 4 months of lessons.

Sarena Nichol: My kids (6 and 9) loved lessons at Goldfish. They've been asking to do more lessons since our week long intensive this summer. My only complaint is how fast lessons are filled up. We missed our chance to sign up for the last session.

Paola Michelle Contreras: I thought the parent-child swim classes for my daughter were excellent. She became used to the water and learned quickly that water can be fun and also something to be careful in. She quickly understood that the edge of the pool was the safest place to be. We attended when she was in her early twos for about six months. I tried to transition her to independent classes per the instructors suggestion but I didn't think that it was a good fit. She really hated being with the instructors without me and I gave up after six weeks of protest. However, I liked the environment enough that I might try to take her back after she has started pre-school and more used to separating from us.

Brocc: My son 5yrs has been at Goldfish Swim classes since around the end of June and before he was very afraid of water, after months he is able to swim, go deep under the water, float and he loves to go to his classes, every kid has a different time frame to learn and sometimes could take time. I highly recommend the Goldfish Swim School, my son enjoy to learn swim techniques and I enjoy watch his progress, thanks to the instructor Adrian.

Janet Williams: My great granddaughter has enjoyed attending swim classes, she’s on vacation in Florida, but will resume her classes in the fall. She is more confident in exercising the various skills to help her learn to swim and navigate the water. Her instructors have always shown patience and care with each of their participants. She has been practicing some of her techniques here in Florida! We look forward to returning soon.(Score 10 out of 10)

Angela Perez: It is a safe and clean environment for the kids and staff are very professional they watch every single step of the swimmers, my daughter was afraid first two times but after she is confidence and every Friday she is very excited to try again. She is learning so fast

Ariana Serrano: This swim school is absolutely HORRIBLE. $171 a month for what ? My 3 year old son goes here and all they do is sit him on the ledge half the time and he’s either by himself or with one other kid. The instructors always look MISERABLE, even the girls at the front desk. A YMCA is so much better than this.

Antonio Aurelio Fagundes Jr.: My kid had a terrible experience at Goldfish Brookline. I would never recommend it.

Jackie Palacios: Very good place for all kids type of ages to learn how to swim and learn to have fun inside the water.Instructors are very patient, friendly and know what they're doing when it comes teaching kidsThe only thing I recommend is if kids are doing above and beyond and trying their best with their lessons to continue rewarding them like they where doing before.My son loves it and his been going there since 2018

Lena Kikuchi: Great place for kids to learn to swim. Friendly staff, very well trained and organized. Space is bright and very clean. Flexible make up schedules and very accommodating to fit your family's needs! Highly recommended!
