★★★★★László VelinszkyVery friendly staff, caring instructors. Waiting area is well equipped for light work while kids are at class. Pool is nice and warm.
★★★★★Emily WalkerWhen my son started at Happy Fish a year and a half ago he didn’t even like putting his head in the water. Thanks to weekly lessons here he can now swim all four strokes! His lessons are often 1:1 and he has made great progress with the kind coaches here. He has fun and he learns. Coach Aldo is the best!
★★★★★Viviana ChaparroAfter trying so many other places I can truly say Happy Fish gets 5 starts. Amazing instructors, great schedules, flexibility for last minute cancellations, great make up policy, clear expectations and progress tracking, clean, organized....I could go on!
★★★★★Christine KimMy kids love swimming lessons at Happy Fish in Livermore. The instructors are great! They’re respectful, professional and really know how to work with kids. I’d like to give a special shoutout to Usman, who has been a phenomenal teacher. My son looks forward to working with him every week. I really appreciate the “standard time” of being 3 minutes behind the slotted time. It’s so gracious, because yknow kids… haha The Summer Program was the way to go. Kids get a hang of it quicker when they can go 4x a week than 1x. My son started late as a beginner in the summer program (3 weeks of it), but he is now in advance level. Now, we have our kids 2x a week.
★★★★★Earl T. RoskeWhen our daughter was 6 months, we started her at Happy Fish in Fremont. Six months later, we moved to Hayward and started coming to Happy Fish in Livermore. Life got in the way and we dropped from swim classes. A year and a half later we started swim lessons someplace closer to home. Our daughter did not like that place and neither did I. So we switched to American Swim Academy. I didn't not like the atmosphere or the culture. This summer I started my daughter back at Happy Fish. She'd been very unsure about swim lessons. (The last two places left her very apprehensive about swim lessons.) Day one with Katrina and my daughter was at ease in the water, happy to be there, and eager to come back each day. Currently have her signed up for three weeks of summer swim lessons and will definitely have her here once school has started. This is a good place for kids and I regret ever dropping the lessons. Imagine what her skills would be like now, if we'd stayed. :/
