Goldfish Swim School - Portland

Goldfish Swim School - Portland Teaching kids how to swim is our passion! Goldfish is much more than a swim school. You feel it the moment you walk in. Something different. Something unexpected.

Goldfish Swim School – Portland is a state-of-the-art swimming facility dedicated to teaching children as young as 4 months old. It’s more than vibrant colors chosen to inspire kids. More than a curriculum crafted to not only teach kids to swim but also to build their character through guided play. More than a shiver-free pool heated to 90 degrees. There’s something more. Something beyond typical. It’s passion. Not just a passion for kids or a passion for swimming…it’s a special passion for changing – even saving – lives by teaching kids to swim and be safer in and around the water. We use our holistic philosophy, The Science of SwimPlay®, to build life skills both in and out of the water using play-based learning in a fun and safe environment. In a class size of no more than 4 children to 1 swim instructor, children master the skills they need to be safer and confident in the water. Beginning as early as 4 months, children progress through a series of perpetual swimming lessons, graduating to higher levels of difficulty as swimming skills are mastered. Goldfish also offers special events like parties, Family Swim, accelerated Jump Start Clinics and our Goldfish Swim Force Team, catered to swimmers who have completed the Goldfish Pro Level. Goldfish Swim School – Portland is proud to help teach the children of the great community of Portland, ME how to swim and be safer in the water. We encourage you to stop by for a tour of our facilities. We guarantee you’ll love it at Goldfish! To learn more, please visit www.goldfishswimschool.com.

Growth happens quietly.
Sometimes the biggest moments don't feel big at all. It’s funny because when it comes to kids, it seems like the one thing that’s impossible to ignore is how quickly they grow. The adorable baby onesies that are outgrown far too quickly, the increasing pencil marks on the doorframe. And yet, when it comes to swim lessons, sometimes the biggest growth moments aren’t the most obvious.

It's putting their face in the water without being asked.
Walking into class with a smile instead of hesitation.
Looking back at you from the pool with a proud grin that says, "Did you see that?" 🥹

Confidence rarely arrives all at once.

It grows through small moments that are easy to miss, but impossible to forget.
And we think those moments deserve to be celebrated. ☺️

The biggest milestones don’t happen in a single lesson.

They happen through consistency.

Week after week, swimmers 🏊 build confidence, improve technique, and become safer in the water. Every class builds on the one before it.

As your family settles into a new school-year routine, continuing swim lessons is one of the best ways to keep that progress moving forward.

That’s why we created our Next Level Nine-Month Package.

Designed for families planning to swim throughout the school year, it includes:

🐠 FREE Family Swim for 9 months
🐠 FREE Jump Start Clinic
🐠 Waived annual membership fee
🐠 Goldfish goggles
🐠 Goldfish towel

That’s nearly $1,000 in added value while giving your swimmer the consistency they need to continue growing all school 📚 year long. Group lessons start at $1250 for the 9-months.

When parents sign their baby up for Mini Lessons, they’re thinking about the swim and water safety skills they want their baby to learn. And of course, these lessons provide that, but here’s the thing…

Mini Lessons are so much more.
They're one-on-one bonding time.
A chance to build confidence together.
A weekly routine your little one looks forward to.
An unexpected emotional reset for you.
And the beginning of a lifelong relationship with the water.

Some of the biggest milestones start with the smallest splashes. ✨🧡

Long weekends have a way of reminding us what matters most.

Family time.
Belly laughs.
Pool days.
Making memories.

However you're spending Labor Day, we hope it's filled with moments that make everyone smile and, if you're around the water, remember that active adult supervision is one of the most important ways to help keep every splash a safe one. 🧡

Wishing your family a fun, relaxing, and safe Labor Day!
