Goldfish Swim School – Burr Ridge

We’ve been Goldfish Groupies since my littlest was in diapers and I can’t say enough about this place. We started in Roscoe Village moved to Western Springs and transferred to Naperville Goldfish and then Burr Ridge opened! Allelulia! Steve and his staff at GF Burr Ridge are patient, dedicated, professional instructors that make learning to swim fun! What’s more, the facilities are a gorgeous tropical oasis, a blast for the littles and parents alike. Both my sons are swimming now unassisted and because Goldfish teaches safety first, I am completely at ease when my kids are near open bodies of water. So listen up parents, there’s no honor in suffering through lessons in those cold high school pools!!! Just join Goldfish and your family will love attending lessons, family swims and watching your kids happily acquire new swimming skills week after week. Only 4 months til summer!!!

We love Goldfish Swim School! Its so great that it is warm and just for kids. We started at 4 months and have continued on and off. My daughter now loves the water and isn’t scared of anything. My only complaint is the cost. It’s really hard to fit in a make-​up class if you miss, and you are only allowed 9 a year. I wish they had a punch card program, instead of a monthly fee. They could also have some more free open swims.

Goldfish is great! My daughter is 21 months and loves swimming there! Her teacher Ms. Rachel is such a gem. I like that the class is so well organized into 2 – 3 minute swimming activities (often using balls, floats, a slide, and songs). The movement from the different activities helps keep my daughter’s attention and helps her become more and more comfortable in the water. My husband and I take turns swimming with our daughter because we both think it is so fun! Also, the staff behind the front desk are always smiling and are very helpful. Really, this is a great place for early swimming-​so glad they opened!

I can’t say enough about Goldfish Swim. After trying several pools in the area we found Goldfish Swim to be clean, updated, and the pool is very warm. The place is decorated in a cute underwater theme that my kids immediately fell in love with. But what I love the most is that the classes are smaller and more organized with actual specific instruction for each level. My 3 yr old adjusted right away with no tears after the 1^st class. Definitely would recommend to others!
