Swimming Classes for Kids: Our Philosophy & Approach
Guided Play + Safe Environment = The Science of SwimPlay®
Every parent wants the best for their kids. It’s why development books, educational DVDs and parenting courses are so popular. But it’s all so overwhelming. So what works the best? Well, science says the foundation for a child’s cognitive growth is rooted in two key factors: a safe environment and learning through guided play at any age. Yes, play. This is how kids develop the skills that ultimately give them the courage to dive into new experiences.
The fact is your child’s potential is in there. Sometimes you just need to add water. That’s where Goldfish Swim School comes in – their swimming lessons for kids are based on the philosophy that children learn through play.

- Parent-Friendly: Their curriculum was created by parents for parents.
