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.

What an important skill for our littlest swimmers to learn! They are taught that the smartest and closest way to exit a pool is right behind them if they fall in - and are taught to use their fin, fin, belly, flipper to build the strength to climb out!

“What’s the best swim program for beginner swimmers?”

If you’ve been searching for a swim school near me, you’ve probably wondered where your child should start, especially if they’re brand new to the water.

The good news is: finding the perfect swim school fit for your family might be easier than you think. 🧡

At Goldfish Swim School, we meet kids where they are. Early levels focus on building comfort in the water, introducing foundational skills like floating and safe movement, and helping swimmers see real results.

As they progress, those skills continue to build, always at a pace that supports both safety and growth.

Because every swimmer starts somewhere, and the right starting point makes all the difference.

“What age should toddlers start swimming lessons?”

It’s one of the most common questions parents ask, especially as summer approaches.

Many toddlers can begin swim lessons earlier than parents expect. At this stage, lessons focus on building comfort in the water while introducing foundational water safety skills alongside a parent or caregiver.

Over time, toddlers start developing important abilities like floating, moving through the water with support, and responding to simple instructions. All of these things contribute to safer behavior around water.

Learning to swim is a process, and starting early helps build skills, see real progress, and gain confidence step by step.

💬 Curious if your toddler is ready to get started? We’re happy to help. Send us a DM or drop us a comment!

🌟 Please join us in congratulating our Employee of the Month: Andrew 🌟

Andrew’s favorite part about working at Goldfish is having fun with the students and watching them enjoy learning how to swim. He has fond memories of swimming with friends growing up and likes to see kids walking away with good memories as well.

Hearing kids spent the whole summer swimming with their family is kinda awesome!

His favorite levels to teach are mini 1 and 2 levels… the kiddos this young have so much joy swimming, and the parents really love that time with their kids!

His master plan is to retire to Spain to play flamenco guitar 🎸 and eat tapas in the sun ☀️ Congratulations to Andrew!
