We have been members since October 2019 and we are so happy with Goldfish Park Ridge. Before and after COVID-19, the facility has always been clean, safe, and enjoyable for lessons. The staff is great and the instructors are outstanding. They have made the return to swim lessons such a pleasure; its our one activity we have resumed for now since the virus shutdown and I cannot sing their praises enough for everything they have done to make students and parents comfortable and happy!

My wife and I signed up our 3yo and we couldn’t be happier. The instructors are so sweet, class sizes are perfect, facilities are clean and new! There is a prize every week for the kids and you can purchase candy (or coffee for parents! ) Already planning to have our boys winter birthday party there this year! We love goldfish swim school!

Weve been at Goldfish since early in 2019, and weve always had a great experience. They reopened a few months ago with new precautions, and I couldnt be happier about our choice to return to lessons. The communication was thorough, and I see the staff follow through on all of the new precautions and protocols. My two kids (7 and 8) are overjoyed to have something to do again that feels normal, and I know we wouldnt do it unless it felt safe - which it does! My deepest gratitude to the Goldfish team for all of their extra efforts, especially during this challenging time.

With their focus of safety in and out of the water, Goldfish Swim School cares for new swimmers and their families with playful lessons while maintaining the importance of distance and clean public spaces.

Great teachers and owners! We are very thankful to my son’s teachers Manny Ruiz and Sydney Miltz. My son now can swim! Great progress we saw during 2 months.

I really cant say enough good things about Goldfish and I recommend it to anyone who asks.  My girls (5 and 3) love it and theyre learning so much each week.  The school is clean, fun, and family friendly. But most of all, I really appreciate all the staff members.  I can tell the teachers have been well trained in safety and swim skills. All of the staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Goldfish!

We always recommend Goldfish to our friends- the teachers really know their swimmers and know how to push them without scaring them. The games they play are great and they all have a skills based purpose. I love seeing my little guy light up when he gets a ribbon or a hi five for trying something new or improving! Also, we LOVE your family swim- it gives us fun family time together and makes the water more than just a place for lessons- which is important because our Chicago weather only allows for outside swim time during the summer- but family swim let’s us all swim together all year long! We’ve been to other swim places but Goldfish is where we found our place!

This Swim school is awesome! I transferred my son from Blue Swim School in Niles due to his lack of progress. I am so glad I did. The instructors here are much more advanced it’s very evident. I love that at the end of every class they update the parents on your child’s progress which is awesome this is something I didn’t get at Blue. They have weekly prices for the kids to take home and the environment and staff has just been great. I am very satisfied and definitely recommend Gold Fish Swim School and specially this location.

I really like that all the instructors are so kind and patient. My daughter loves coming to swimming lessons each week. I also appreciate that the instructors give a short debrief on your child’s progress each week.

Gold Fish Swim School at Park Ridge is amazing place for kids to learn swimming. Since January of this year till now we are very happy with everyone there starting from the front desk staff to amazing swim instructors. The other thing I wanted to mention is that the owner/ manager Dana is super helpful with any questions or concerns, she does care about her customers which I think is very important. Before starting at this place we tried 3 different schools for swimming and so far Gold Fish is the best. While I found all the instructors amazing, I wanted to say special thanks to Ms. Elyza, Ms. Hannah and Ms. Grace. I do recommend this place 100%.

Fabulous faculty and staff! We do weekly lessons and appreciate the parent update at the end of each class. We have also had a birthday party there, couldn’t have been a better choice!

Goldfish Park Ridge has been a great place for our kids to continue to learn to swim. Compared with the previous swim school we went to for two years, we noticed a huge difference right away. The facilities are excellent, offering plenty of changing rooms, showers, hair dryers, and bathrooms. The pool and pool room are so warm, keeping the kids warm for the whole lesson. The instructors update us after every lesson on what our kids are working on and what they did well. The instructors use different “pool tools” to help the kids perfect certain swimming techniques and the kids love using them. The staff and owner are very flexible and accommodating to schedules and class changes. Our kids absolutely love swimming at Golfish every week!We also like that Goldfish has a swim team they can join when they’ve completed all the lessons. It’s a great way to continue their pursuit of swimming without having to make an intense commitment like other swim teams. My daughter absolutely loves Swim Force!

Amazing teachers with great energy and patience with the little ones but still push them to excel. Wonderful experiences with the management and staff as well.

It was a great place to enjoy a Friday night with my family. The staff was very attentive. Facilities were clean and well maintained. It was a really great space and a great time. The only thing I would say is that it was rather crowded, but otherwise, awesome.

Class sizes are good. Instructors are attentive and well trained. Very professional. Clean and fun facilities

Great staff, clean facilities, competitive pricing.

Not only is the staff super friendly, the instructors are incredibly engaged and do a great job keeping our daughters swim classes fun and educational. They love class and have advanced much more while taking classes from goldfish than with any other programs.

My son took three sessions (over 9 months of weekly lessons) with a competing swim school. They could never advance him especially regarding putting his face in the water. Within 2 lessons JJ had him driving under the water. Your methods work!

My son is so comfortable here, which he hasn’t been at other swim schools. He enjoys swimming now!

Fun, clean and friendly!

The instructors are friendly, facility is very clean and staff is very friendly.

Bad experience with them .
