Booking a vacation rental with a pool this summer? Read this first.

Vacation rentals can be a great way for families to enjoy time together, especially when there’s a pool involved. ☀️

But before you book, it’s important to know what to look for to help keep your kids safer around the water.

That’s why we created a simple, parent-friendly checklist with questions to ask before booking a vacation rental with a pool, including things like:
✔️ Is there a fence or barrier around the pool?
✔️ Are there door alarms or safety features?
✔️ What safety rules are in place?

Because when you know what to look for ahead of time, you can feel more confident about where your family is staying.

“How do the different swim lesson levels at Goldfish actually work?”

If you’ve ever wondered how our swim lesson levels are structured, we’re here to help!

At Goldfish Swim School, our levels are designed to meet swimmers where they are, whether they’re just getting comfortable in the water or building more advanced skills over time.

Each level focuses on specific skills that help kids progress step by step, building confidence, coordination, and key water safety and swim skills along the way.

Swim lessons aren’t one-size-fits-all, and the right level helps set every swimmer up for success.

💬 Not sure which level is right for your child? Send us a DM, and we’ll help you find the right level for your child - no guesswork involved!

Happy Swim A Lap Day! 🏊

Whether it’s their first time making it across the pool or they’re building up their endurance, every lap is a sign of progress.

Swim lessons help kids build strength, coordination, and confidence in the water. One skill, one length, and one milestone at a time.

And while not every swimmer is ready to swim a full lap just yet, each lesson is helping them get there!!

💬 What’s a swim milestone your child is working toward right now?

“Why do we teach kids to jump in and turn to the wall?”

It might look simple, but this is one of the most important water safety skills kids can learn.

If a child accidentally falls into a pool, the most common response is to swim towards the first wall they see. The problem with this is that it’s often the farthest from them. By teaching them to jump in and turn to the wall behind them, we’re helping program into muscle memory that the wall behind them is the closest.

This skill teaches swimmers how to:
✔️ stay calm after entering the water
✔️ turn their body to find the wall
✔️ move to safety and get out

It’s not just practice, it’s preparation.

In the water, knowing what to do right away can make all the difference.

💬 Have you seen your swimmer practice this skill yet?
