GoldFish Swim School in Pittsford

Our experience with swim lessons

By Kelly Zaryk, Publisher Macaroni Kid Pittsford-SE Rochester, NY January 26, 2022

Goldfish Swim School Pittsford Opened in March of 2020, yes you know exactly what went on in March 2020!!  They are a one-of-a-kind learn-to-swim facility that offers swim and water safety instruction to kids ages 4 months through 12 years-old.

I recently started taking my 4 year old to swim lessons there on Thursday mornings and he loves it!!  From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed and safe there!  There is a good ratio of kids to swim instructor in our class which makes me feel good he has a lot of attention during his 1/2 hour lesson.  I'm able to watch very closely and he can turn around and see I'm there giving him a thumbs up.  I must admit I think his favorite part is receiving a new colored ribbon at the end of each class, boy is he so proud to show it off, especially to his Brothers when they come home from school.  I love the showers they have conviently located after swim class before we leave the swim deck with shampoo to rinse him off.  And the changing rooms are very nice!  I appreciate the room inside as I get him dressed and the hair dryers to make sure he doesn't go outside with a wet head.   We are really enjoying lessons at Goldfish Swim School and I highly recommend trying it out.  I do have Free Swim trial cards if you're interested, please send me an email to kellyz@macaronikid.com
