Summer is officially just around the corner and soon we’ll hear the sounds of ‘splish splash’ from children as they start to say their “goodbyes” for the school year. We’ll see children transition out of their classrooms and into swimming pools, outdoor play, theme parks, and other fun summer activities.
The question is…are your children swim ready?
When you think about summer time, what’s something that first pops into your mind? For me, it’s definitely anything with water…which leads me to some exciting news about Goldfish Swim School opening in Winter Park, FL!
{This post is sponsored. As always, all opinions expressed are my own.}
As a parent, I am so very excited about this opportunity for my little one. Getting your children comfortable in water and confident in their swim skills is something that’s a priority for many parents, especially when you live in Florida! I’ve been waiting for a local swim school like this to open. We don’t have a swim pool at home, so this is a perfect opportunity for Little Johnny to become exposed to water safety skills. I love that the facility is indoors, so we’re out of the “hot Florida sun”.
The Facts
Goldfish Swim School is a franchise and has over 65 locations open or in development around the country. They provide swim lessons and water safety instruction to infants and children ages 4 months- 12 years. Classes are offered by professional, trained and certified instructors in a safe, child-friendly and fun environment.
The owners of this Winter Park location are also a husband and wife team (Jon and Gina Thomas) and they have two younger children. They are relocating from Columbus, OH to the Winter Park area to startup the first Goldfish Swim School in Florida! As a parent, it’s always intriguing to hear the back story and learn that they’re a family orientated business!
My Favorite Features
When there’s something new coming within the Orlando area I always love to do my research and scope out my favorite features of the newly established business. Here’s what I’m excited about…
- Air conditioned viewing gallery for parents to relax, work, read, socialize (digitally and personally) and watch their kids swim
- An indoor swimming pool heated to a tropical 90 degrees year-round
- Year-round swim instruction for children 4 months to 12 years (Click Here for a list of classes)
- family swim time!
- an environment that presents a tropical vibe, leaves you with that “happy feeling”
While researching I also found this great post that’s directed towards parents, which is very helpful with understanding what Goldfish offers to the surrounding community.

I’m excited to take you on our journey of Little Johnny’s first swim classes! He’ll participate in swim lessons for a few months and I’ll continue to update you on his progress with Goldfish Swim School. He’ll be participating in the class listed below.
- mini swim classes for the little ones (4-35 months)- adult participation
The Details
If you live within the Orlando area, definitely make sure to check out their website and pre-register to reserve your spot. They’re offering the first members a promo!
They also offer memberships, which you can find more details linked here.
For updates, make sure to “like” their facebook page!
I especially liked viewing their photos and timelapse videos of the progress with the construction. Their grand opening will be coming soon, so stay tuned!
Happy Swimming!
This looks SO awesome! I am so bummed we don’t have one here in SC. I’d sign my kids up for swim classes in a heartbeat if we had one here! So jealous!!
