Goldfish Swim School now accepting pre-registration for lessons and memberships

Goldfish Swim School, the leading premier learn-to-swim franchise, will bring its research-based philosophy called The Science of SwimPlay® to the Shoreline community in just a few weeks. 

Opening its facility in late summer, Goldfish Swim School of Shoreline is now accepting pre-registration for swim lessons and memberships for children four months to 12 years of age.

Goldfish Swim School bases its program on the scientific model that a child’s cognitive growth is rooted in two key factors: a safe environment and learning through guided play.

“Our play-based curriculum focuses on teaching using developmentally-appropriate methods in a safe, fun environment,” said William Lebiedz, owner of Goldfish Swim School of Shoreline. 

“Our focus is water safety while fostering a love of swimming. At Goldfish, our instructors pay attention to the serious stuff, so our students can focus on the fun. It’s what we call The Science of SwimPlay.”

At its core, Goldfish Swim School has one mission: to help children be safer in and around the water. 

Drowning is the No. 1 cause of injury-related death among children ages 1-4, and the American Academy of Pediatrics recently updated its recommendations on water safety and drowning prevention. 

Specifically, the AAP now recommends swim lessons for all children over the age of 1 and noted the importance of vetting experienced swim lesson programs and well-trained instructors. To support these updated recommendations, the learn-to-swim franchise recently launched Goldfish RX, a program that encourages conversations on water safety between pediatricians and parents.

“Washington state has more than 3,000 miles of coastline, and it’s important that children know how to be safer in and around the water every day,” said Lebiedz. “We’re passionate about showing kids a life-saving skill and having fun, too.”

Beyond a safe environment that encourages learning through guided play, the new Goldfish Swim School of Shoreline will feature:

• Shiver-free, 90-degree pool
• Confidence-building curriculum that celebrates achievements
• Maximum ratio of four students to one teacher
• Flexible class times and free make-up lessons
• Award-winning tropical environment

“We believe that a child’s potential comes to the surface when they learn a new skill,” said Lebiedz. “At Goldfish, kids learn sharing, practice patience and realize the benefits of persistence. All are valuable skills in and out of the pool.”

HIRING NOW

The school is hiring a variety of team members from lifeguards to front desk representatives to ramp up for its late summer opening. The school offers paid training and flexible shifts in a fun, water-loving environment.
