Congratulations to our September ⭐️STAR STUDENTS⭐️Help us celebrate the FIN-tastic job our swimmers have done!! Great job!! 🧡💙🧡💙

It's that time of the year when many little ones might be meeting new teachers, both in and out of the pool, and we thought a little chat with our good friend Freeya was the perfect thing to help kiddos ease into those teacher transitions! 😉

While some tips you'll find here are specific to Goldfish, most of them apply to all teachers, and it can be helpful to remind your little ones that even though change can feel scary - it's okay! It's really just a part of life and sometimes change and trying something new can lead to some wonderful things! ✨

In honor of National Baby Safety Month, we want to open the conversation around all things water and baby safety. 😊 These important water safety facts are considered ones that every parent needs to know. Drowning is an awful thing for any parent to have to think about, but being aware is a critical part of drowning prevention.

When it comes to our infants and babies, it's never too early to start thinking about water safety. Be aware of the facts and take preventative measures like draining all bathtubs, having locks on toilets & bathroom doors, enrolling your baby in swim lessons (ours begin at 4 months!) and talking with your pediatrician regularly about any safety questions you might have. 🧡

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Labor Day! We are closed today for the holiday but look forward to seeing everyone back in the pool soon! ☺️

Remember, if you're celebrating today with some water-side fun be sure to actively practice water safety at all times. 🛟 Happy Labor Day!!!

At Goldfish Swim School, we don't just focus on the skills being learned and performed but behaviors, too! It can be just as important to let kiddos know that their "being" matters just as much as their "doing." Drop a ❤️ if you love this type of celebration and encouragement, too!

Pool floaties are not a layer of protection for your child when it comes to drowning prevention. ❌
We know that pool floaties can be fun and colorful, but it's important to understand why pool floaties are not a safe choice for kiddos. In addition to being prone to breaking or slipping while in use, floaties also teach poor posture and incorrect swimming habits.
Depending on the child, floaties can either cause a false sense of confidence, leading children to think that they can swim independently when they're not yet ready, or they can instill fear of swimming without them. Both of these scenarios can have negative effects on children. So swap out those pool floaties for a Coast Guard-approved life jacket, and add a key layer of protection by enrolling in swimming lessons! 🧡 💛

One of the best things about summer is that we get so much more time to spend with friends and family! ☺️ What is one of your family's favorite things to do during the summer? 🏖️

Our buddy Sloan is always around to help make learning fun and manageable! 🐢
Sloan reminds us that learning something new can feel awfully big, and breaking it into smaller steps helps! We all know that Sloan is one silly sea turtle who's always ready to play, but he reminds us that sometimes we can feel tired (especially when working hard!) and it's okay to rest and take a break. ☺️
Is Sloan one of your favorite buddies? Let us know in the comments!

We will be closed this evening, we apologize for any inconvenience! See you back in the pool tomorrow!

Sensory play has so many amazing benefits for babies and toddlers. It's one reason why we chose to incorporate it into our swim lessons curriculum with our Mini Lessons! ✨
From helping babies to develop cognitive learning, to helping with their emotional, physical, and social development, there is truly so much to love about sensory play. 🤗 If you have some favorite tips, tools, or toys that support sensory play, we'd love to learn more about them!

At Goldfish Swim School water safety is our priority! Keep your kiddos safe and check out our in home water safety tips! 🤩

This is a day that highlights the very core of why we do what we do! Use this day to highlight drowning prevention tips, swim skills, and GSS swim lessons. 🤩

Friendships start here at goldfish! 😊🧡

When we think about water safety, many of us think of things like jumping in feet first, checking water conditions, and keeping pools fenced and locked - all great things to be thinking of! 🏖️
How about swimsuits, though? Yep, swimsuit color is a very important piece of your child's water safety since shades of blue, light, and pastel colors can be extremely difficult to spot underwater (even in water that is calm and uncrowded).
So instead, opt for neon and bright colors like red, orange, and yellow! 🧡 💛

We know that floaties are cute and fun, but it's important to remember that they are NOT actual safety equipment. Here are some alternatives to pool floaties that you can use with your family this summer. Remember, when in doubt, use a properly fitting Coast Guard-approved life jacket! 😉

At Goldfish Swim School, we're on a mission to decrease the risk of drowning by helping as many children as possible learn how to be safer in and around the water. We do this through proactive action and education. One thing that is critical to drowning prevention is understanding that it doesn't look like it does in the movies.
The movies often depict these scenes with shouting and splashing, but the truth is that drowning is often silent, and can happen in seconds. As scary as this is to hear, it's important to remember that drowning is preventable. Help us share this message with your friends and family, and always remember to practice active water safety. 💙

Congratulations to our STAR⭐️ students of july🦀🧡 Cora, Kyler and Mila did such a FIN-tastic job, keep up the amazing work swimmers!!
