Living in Fairfield County, we are so lucky to have easy access to town pools and beaches. As summer nears, swim safety for my 6 year old and 3 ½ year old daughters is a serious priority of mine. I am so grateful that my daughters were given the opportunity to spend the past three months enrolled in weekly swim lessons at Goldfish Swim School in Norwalk.

Imagine that proud-mama moment when your non-swimmer finally becomes a swimmer…times two!

Goldfish Swim School offers group and private swimming lessons for children ages 4 months to 12 years old. Lessons are held weekly for 30 minutes, and enrollment is monthly. Children are grouped based on both their age and ability. The student to instructor ratio is no more than 4:1. Did I mention how amazing the staff is? The swim instructors are enthusiastic and encouraging, and the front desk staff are helpful and accommodating.

There are so many things that my family loves about Goldfish Swim School:

The Pool
The pool temperature is 90 degrees, and the depth of the pool ranges from just 3’6” to 3’11”. Children spend their entire swim lesson in the water; when they’re not swimming they’re either sitting on a step or on a swim training platform.

The Lessons
My children have learned and practiced skills, like: gliding, floating, flutter kicking, pulling paddle, and treading. At the end of every lesson, parents receive feedback on their child(ren)’s progress. My daughters love earning ribbons to celebrate little milestones, i.e. “Hip-hip-hooray I put my face in today!”

The Science of SwimPlay®
Guided Play + Safe Environment = The Science of SwimPlay®
My daughters have learned so much, all while splashing around and having fun.

The Viewing Area
Parents/guardians and siblings have a full view of the pool from behind a glass wall. Free WiFi is available. Siblings might enjoy the fish tank, activity table, books and/or coloring pages. The days of wrangling a younger sibling in the pool area are finally over (been there, done that!).

The Changing Rooms & Showers
My life is made easier with access to changing rooms and showers. For a quick rinse, showers are located in the pool area (body wash is provided), or else there’s also a private shower in the bathroom. A hair drying station is also available.

They’ve thought of Everything!

  • A wall full of cubbies is available for storing your belongings; there are also plenty of hooks.
  • Be sure to use the swimsuit dryer before you head home.
  • Forget something? The “Treasure Island Pro Shop” sells bathing suits, towels, goggles, swim caps, and swim diapers.

Goldfish Swim School is located at 112 Main Street in Norwalk, CT. In addition to lessons, Goldfish Swim School hosts Family Swims and Birthday Parties. For more information, visit: www.goldfishswimschool.com/norwalk or call (203) 590-9152.
