Goldfish Swim School - Lincoln Park 1630 West Medill Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614

"Everyone has been welcoming and helpful at the Lincoln Park location. I like that we view the students on one side of the window, so as not to distract them during their lesson. The whole school is bright and cheerful."

"We love goldfish swim school. The staff is friendly and attentive. We’ve seen improvements in our son’s swim mechanics in just a few weeks. The classes are well thought out and structured. The facility is clean, spacious and comfortable for those observing classes. It’s easy to change before and after swim lessons with all of the individual changing stations. 10/10-highly recommend!"

"My family and I LOVE Goldfish!!! We’ve been going for over a year now. My kids are thriving, skilled swimmers. The teachers are kind and knowledgeable and get the kids going right away, every time. The facility is wonderful - clean, convenient, comfortable for kids and parents alike. We even had our older child’s birthday party at Goldfish - it was PERFECT. Please consider Goldfish as your swim school - the staff are so so nice and helpful, and it is now part of our weekly routine and local daily life. So glad to have found it. I can’t recommend it enough!"

"We've been members of Goldfish Swim School for a year and a half now and we love it! We started with our son at the Mini 3 sessions and he is now at the Glider 2 level. Within 1 year into these classes, both my husband and I felt confident and safe to have our child be at a pool swimming by himself safely through a short distance. Now, at Glider 2 he swims across their large pool on its width. Our younger 3-year-old daughter has joined Goldfish this year and she loves to be in the water. She has also progressed tremendously in her swimming skills in only three months and is able to dive head inside the water through a 2 or 3 feet long. We moved to the Lincoln Park location in January at its Grand opening. The location is perfect for our commute. The staff is extremely friendly, great with kids, and prompt to understand my wants and needs. They are very accommodating with us having to skip several classes and then book make-ups for both kids on the same date and time and during the same week! Also, the teachers are very communicative about the kids' progress and make sure they address the individual needs of every child in class. It's therapeutic, it's the best type of exercise, and it's the best skill to have in life! I highly recommend them!"

"Great staff and attention to detail! Super clean facility. My 2 kids love it. Both started when babies. Now 3 yrs old and 1.5 yrs old. We switched over to the LP location from Wicker Park simply because it's closer to our house. Sam, Fatima and Veronica reply super fast to my emails and never miss a beat. All of our instructors are superb and great with kids. 2 things I absolutely love about this place: 1. The staff to child ratio. Whenever we are there for class, there are always at least 5 additional staff members present at the front desk and on the pool deck assuring the kids are safe and having a good time. This is not including the instructors. So there's a handful of staff simply present to support your child's swim lesson. It's truly amazing. 2. They are trained to handle ALL situations, even if your kid is having a hard time separating from the parent or crying. The support staff on the pool deck comes around and sits and plays with your kid, comforting them. The staff works individually with your kid and their instructor to comfort them, hold their hand, give them toys, make them laugh."
