Want to Grow New Brain Cells and Get Smarter? Go Swimming Good news from science if your corner of the world is broiling: Swimming is your brain's favorite form of exercise.

Welcome to another Water Safety Wednesday! As summer warms up and pools are opening, we must be mindful of the dangers of an open, unsupervised pool. According to the CDC, most childhood drowning deaths ages 1-4 occur at home swimming pools, and most of those occur when the child is not expected to be at or near the pool.
Ensuring that your pool is covered, gated on four sides, and locked can reduce the risk to your children by 83% compared to a pool that is only gated on three sides.

It's another Water Safety Wednesday here at the Fish Factory, and this week we are focusing on rule number two: Never ever swim alone!

One of the best things you can do for drowning prevention is to always swim with a buddy, with a lifeguard on duty, or have a parent or guardian in the water with you. Even confident and strong swimmers need to follow this water safety rule. An emergency can happen at any time, and it is important to be prepared! Having someone with you to respond to emergencies and get you or your swimmer the help that they need could make the difference.

[05/16/20]   We are heartbroken to tell you that your kids cannot come back to swimming on Monday, May 18th. The City of Albuquerque Environmental Health Department called to tell us that Fish Factory Swim Schools cannot re-open per the directive of the governor’s office. If you signed up for our Phase I Private Lessons and have any questions, please email us. All normal classes are still frozen until further notice. Thank you for your continued support. We hope to see you in the pool soon!

[04/30/20]   More of our instructors wanted to say thank you for your ongoing support! We miss our Fish Factory families and hope to have an update on re-opening soon. Stay safe!

[04/29/20]   We miss our Fish Factory families and hope to have an update on re-opening soon. We are waiting to hear next steps from the governor. Thank you for your continued support!

[04/02/20]   Classes are suspended until further notice due to state regulations regarding COVID-19. Thank you for your continued support.

[03/13/20]   Fish Factory Families,

We have made the difficult decision to follow state and local actions and temporarily suspend all classes at both our Albuquerque and Rio Rancho locations through the end of APS/RRPS Spring Break (April 5th) due to COVID-19. This is a hard decision for any small, local business to make, because we realize that we could be putting ourselves out of business. However, we believe that social distancing is in all of our best interest.

We hope that we will be able to re-open on Monday, April 6th. By the time we re-open, we will have a plan for extra make-ups to account for the missed classes. Please know that our phones and emails will not be answered as we will be at home caring for our kids just like you.

Stay safe and healthy, and hopefully we’ll see you back in the pool soon.

[02/10/20]   Both locations will be OPEN
for Presidents' Day on
Monday, February 17th.
See you in the pool!

[01/17/20]   Both locations will be OPEN for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, January 20th. Thank you!
