About the provider

The first Goldfish Swim School opened in 2006. Goldfish Swim School states a mission to help children build water safety skills, confidence, and strong swimming abilities in a safe, encouraging, play-based environment. It also states that all lifeguards receive training in the International Lifeguard Training Program™, and that it uses a 4:1 student-to-teacher ratio and 300,000+ hours of instructor training.

Children can begin infant swimming lessons as early as 4 months old. Lessons are small-group with a 4:1 student-to-teacher ratio. Progression is based on readiness and demonstrated ability. Some Family Swim locations may require advance registration, and at least one adult must be in the water with each child who cannot swim independently.
