I’m sharing our experience of the state-of-the-art facilities, exceptional swim lessons and water safety programs at Goldfish Swim School Winter Park. This post was written in collaboration with Goldfish Swim School Winter Park. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
It’s official. We’ve finally signed Tatiana up for swimming lessons. We’ve been talking about doing this for years. After we experienced 2 near drowning experiences, I’m so happy that we finally did it. Believe it or not, I didn’t learn how to swim until I was a freshman in high school. That’s crazy, right?
So many people in our family don’t know how to swim and it’s unbelievable. We wanted more for Tatiana. I mean she loves the beach and the pool so it’s only right that she learns how to swim. Living in Florida, there’s a chance that we’re at the beach or the pool on the weekends. I did some really intense research when we were looking for a swim school. None of the other options measured up to Goldfish Swim School Winter Park.
Most of the other lessons are at outdoor facilities which is okay but combine that with Florida’s weather and the heat, and it’s a no go. You never know when it’ll start raining out of nowhere and the heat is unbearable, especially in the summer months. Goldfish was our first choice. Not only is it indoors but the pool room is heated. It’s perfect for the kids so that they aren’t going from hot temps to cold pool water. Goldfish Swim School’s indoor pool maintains a temperature of 90 degrees year-round.
Everything You Need to Know About Goldfish Swim School Winter Park
At Goldfish Swim School in Winter Park, your little ones can start their swimming journey as young as 4 months old. They can continue lessons until they’re 12 years old. The Mini lessons are specifically designed for infants aged 4 months to 24 months. I love that offer a unique opportunity for parents to participate in lessons with their child. It really helps children adjust to the water and overcome any fears they may have. If your child isn’t sure about getting into the water or learning how to swim then you’ll definitely want to start them at an earlier age so they qualify for the mini lessons.
The school is open on Tuesdays to Sundays, and they are closed on Mondays. Pre-registering for lessons is highly recommended. We learned during our time at the school that lessons can fill up very quickly. Each instructor only has 4 students per class which is why the lessons fill up so fast. The small class size ensures a tailored approach, allowing instructors to address each swimmer’s strengths and weaknesses effectively. T’s coach was super great at noticing her strengths and weaknesses. He was able to help her work on her weaknesses every lesson.
If you’re unable to commit to weekly lessons, Goldfish Swim School offers Jump Start Clinics. The Jump Start Clinics are intensives that are great for quick immersion in the water during summer, winter, or spring breaks. Goldfish Swim School also offers Technique Clinics that are perfect for swimmers who want to work on strengthening specific techniques.
Perpetual lessons give you the flexibility to pay on a monthly basis and change your schedule as needed. Since we travel quite often this was convenient for us. We could make changes to our schedule as often or as little as we wanted with a simple phone call.
I loved that Goldfish has a shop where you can buy any swimming essentials. If you forget your swimsuit or goggles, their Treasure Island Pro Shop has you covered. They have a great selection of swimwear and accessories.
Swim Force is offered to students once they graduate the last level of pro lessons. Each team has only 7 swimmers per coach and practices for 1 hour. The smaller team size allows for a more personalized experience. Family swim lessons are something that Goldfish hosts. They are a great chance to spend time together and create those priceless memories.
Goldfish Swim School provides a wide array of swim equipment aids for students based on their skill level. From swim bars to aid balance to other helpful tools, instructors ensure a safe and enjoyable learning experience. They understand that each child progresses at their own pace.
The complimentary Wi-Fi was perfect for parents like me who wanted to get a little extra work done while watching lessons. It helped me maximize my productivity while supporting Tatiana and I love that.
To freshen up after lessons, swimmers have access to convenient showers and a hair blow drying station. These came in hand after every lesson. And let’s not forget the adorable themed changing rooms that add an extra touch of cuteness to your visit.
Goldfish Swim School Winter Park has so much to offer and I’m glad that we’re a part of their family. You can get more information about how to join here. Take a tour of the swim school and get some feedback on lessons from Tatiana.
