Shira Goldsmith is very patient with my 15 year old. She has autism and adhd and some physical issues and hadn't been successful with previous swim lessons. With encouragement and patience Reena is learning, slowly but surely! She's working on bobbing, floating, treading, and some basic arm and leg movements. I wish my swim teacher had been so patient with me when I learned to swim over 40 years ago!

I loved seeing how my normally shy daughter was laughing comfortably with Mrs Goldsmith as she learned to swim. Mrs Goldsmith's calm, understated method of teaching puts the child at ease and produces great results! Thank you so much!
Malka
Mrs Goldsmith was very accommodating and flexible to our summer schedule. More importantly, Malka enjoyed her swimming time there and improved her overall skills.

my daughter gained confidence on her strokes and her ability to breathe while swimming. Plus she looked forward to each class at Goldsmith Swim!

I really enjoyed you giving me swimming lessons. It was great to have you as a swimming teacher. My favorite thing you taught me was a back float it was so much fun! I hope you have an enjoyable summer!

At the beginning of the summer my 5 year old daughter was afraid to let go of the wall without a float or a life jacket. After several lessons she in now able to swim around the pool on her own! She is now working on learning how to breathe while swimming and I different strokes. I was amazed at how quickly shiri was able to get my daughter past her fears and able to swim. She has the perfect blend of patience , determination and understanding of how far to push each child to maximize their abilities as a swimmer , thank you.

Shiri is super patient and had a great rapport with my kids. They looked forward to each session with much excitement. In just five sessions, she gave them great swimming skills. Shiri created a calm, fun atmosphere and always had creative games. Highly recommended!
