Gold Medal is an excellent swim school. What makes this school stand out from the rest is their curriculum. Who knew that mattered when learning how to swim? From what I've learned watching my daughter, it does. From the beginning level, they teach kids how to be comfortable with being in the water and subtly introducing breathing regulation. They focus on safety and by the time your child finishes the 2nd level they will have mastered the back float, which they will use accomplish a survival jump. My daughter is now at the final level and I am blown away by the confidence she feels in the pool and how each level layers on top of the last so seamlessly. The instructors are so great with the kids and the staff are all really nice. They offer unlimited swim which speaks to how they want your kid to succeed.
