☀️June Employee of the Month!

Congratulations to Brady! She inspires so many students and fellow teachers. We are so glad to have her as a part of our team!

At Goldfish, our monthly celebration for June is all about celebrating animals (and incorporating this into the curriculum that gets kids excited to learn) 🐾

From dogs doing the “paddle” to fish in the water, animals and swimming naturally go together. 🐠

Each month, we introduce a new celebration theme that helps keep learning engaging and effective. Using familiar movements with an added element of imagination to help swimmers stay focused as they build real skills in the water.

You might hear about “sea otter back floats” or see swimmers practicing their “dolphin kicks”, and behind each one is a purpose: helping kids strengthen technique, improve body control, and build confidence in the water.

Because every lesson is about progress, skill-building, and helping kids become safer swimmers. We just teach in a way that kids enjoy the learning process. ✨

💬 What’s your child’s favorite animal right now?

What actually happens during a swim lesson?

For many parents, the first lesson can feel like a mystery.

A typical class includes guided skill practice, playful activities that help reinforce learning, and lots of encouragement from instructors along the way. Kids work on important skills like floating, safe movement through the water, and listening for directions. All while having fun! 😊

Because when kids enjoy the experience, they’re more likely to stay engaged and keep building new skills.

💬 If your child is already in lessons, what’s their favorite part?

Summer travel means new pools, new places, and new water safety reminders. ☀️

Whether you're heading to a hotel pool, spending the day at the beach, or visiting family with a backyard pool, a little preparation can help keep kids safer around the water.

A few quick reminders families often find helpful:
• Take a few minutes to look around and spot exits, lifeguards, and safety equipment
• Stay close and actively supervise, especially in unfamiliar water environments
• Use Coast Guard-approved life jackets when a personal flotation device is needed
• Talk with kids about pool rules before they jump in

Every pool or body of water is a little different, so building strong water safety habits helps kids stay prepared wherever summer takes them. 🏖️

Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day! 🇺🇸
Goldfish Swim School will be closed today to honor and celebrate the holiday with our families. We'll be back and ready to make a splash on Tuesday — see you then!
*Families with classes on Monday have been prorated.

🐠 In the meantime, if your family is celebrating near the water please swim safely — designate a water watcher and keep little ones within arm's reach at all times. 💙

Water Safety Tip 🩵 Supervision isn’t a breakable rule.

One of the most important things to know about drowning is that it’s often silent and quick. It doesn’t look like the splashing or shouting we see in movies.

That’s why active supervision is one of the most important layers of water safety.

Many families use the “Water Watcher” approach, and it’s one we highly recommend and encourage. This means one adult is designated to actively watch the water at all times, without distractions like phones, conversations, or multitasking.

It can be easy to think that having a lot of adults around means that at least someone is watching, but that’s not always the case. Take the guessing out of it. When everyone knows who’s watching the water, it helps keep kids safer and lets everyone be that much more in the moment and enjoying it together. 😊

👉 Save this reminder for your next pool or beach day and share it with someone who spends time around water with kids!
