Goldfish Swim School – Braintree

Goldfish Swim School in Braintree offers swim lessons for infants, toddlers and children from Braintree, Weymouth, Milton and nearby towns. Each class meets once a week for 30 minutes with a 4:1 student-to-teacher ratio, and water safety skills are taught every week. The program is built around steady progress through levels, with an assessment available to help parents place their child and classes for swimmers of all skill levels.

The pool is kept at about 90 degrees in a bright, resort-style setting that the school calls a tropical oasis. Family Swim sessions, open to the whole community, give parents and kids time together in the water and help families gauge whether structured lessons would help, while enrolled students use them for extra practice. Certified lifeguards are on duty during these sessions. The school also runs Swim Force sessions during the week and on Sundays.
