Goldfish Swim School

Goldfish Swim School in Burlington teaches swim lessons to infants, toddlers and children, with the goals of water safety, confidence and character building. Lessons use the brand’s SwimSmart curriculum, which teaches through guided and supervised play, and safety skills are covered every week. Classes run 30 minutes once a week with no more than four students per instructor, so each child gets close attention while progressing through the skill levels.

The facility is designed to feel tropical, with vibrant colors and a shiver-free pool heated to about 90 degrees and open year-round. Beyond lessons, families can drop in for Family Swim sessions, which are open to the public and let parents see how comfortable their kids are in the water. Children who advance through the levels can join Swim Force, and the school also hosts birthday parties on Saturdays.
