Large Variety of Classes & Skill Levels
With a variety of swim programs available, FINS offers a unique setting for swim lessons. We are one of just a few swim schools in the nation that offers swim programs ranging from babies to adults and even competitive swimming. We also offer a USA swimming and triathlete program for advanced swimmers to continue to train and attain new levels of experience and skill.
Along with teaching Learn to Swim and Competitive Swim training in Northwest Houston, the Goudeket family is focused on promoting water safety and awareness. This comes with challenging our neighbors and families to continue to do all that we can to help keep swimmers safe in our community.
Humble Beginnings at FINS
A love of swimming runs deep, and at FINS, Fun IN Swimming, we were built from the ground up, energized by generations working together to keep swimmers in Northwest Houston safe. We are so excited to be able to offer to you a fun and affordable place to learn the sport, practice and perfect your skills, as well as learn new techniques to develop swimming to your fullest. We offer five convenient locations to choose from, all including a variety of swim programs ranging from infants to adults. Catering to all swim levels, we offer classes from beginners to advanced, and on to competitive swimming.
How it all Began
Founder Bill Goudeket began swimming at a young age. Although he didn’t exactly “love” swimming from the beginning, he kept working at it. Eventually he honed his skills by joining a swim team and attaining a college swimming scholarship in what eventually led him to qualify to swim at the Olympic Trials. As Bill’s love of swimming grew, so did his family. When Bill and his wife, Kathy, first opened up FINS, they knew that a strong family would be their business’ key to success. Bill and Kathy’s three oldest children, Whitney, Liam and Megan, are all involved with FINS today, helping to grow the successful business into its five current locations in Spring, The Woodlands, Atascocita/Kingwood, Grand Parkway North and Cypress.

What People are Saying About Us
We have been going to FINS every week for almost 4 years. We have done group swim as well as private and semi-private lessons. From those behind the scenes like Ms. Juli, to those at the desk like Victor and Liz, all the way to those in the pool, like the one and only Carlos, the entire staff is courteous, flexible, and caring. The coaches are great with the kids—pushing them while also incorporating frequent praises. They truly make learning such an imperative life skill fun. FINS has my absolute highest recommendation.

Love this place! My son is currently taking classes with Alex and Richard and I truly can’t say enough great things about them. My son is happy, he’s making major improvements, and he actually looks forward to going. Two thumbs up.
Kristin Martirosian
I highly recommend FINS of The Woodlands. My children have made great progress through this program. Previously, we tried two other swim programs and made little to no progress. This was a completely different story. The instructors are patient, give clear instructions and make the learning experience fun for the kids.

My son has been swimming with them for years and it has been nothing but a wonderful experience. The team is very accommodating, the instruction is highly professional, the support is constant. THANK YOU, FINS!
