er a tropical oasis. Brightly colored walls, tiki cabanas and surfboard benches surrounding our island-style hair drying station border our pool abuzz with the sounds of kids kicking and hands-on swimming instruction. At the pool deck, kids dive into an always tropical 90-degree pool. In a class size of no more than 4 children to 1 swim instructor, children master the skills they need to be safe and confident in the water. Beginning as early as 4 months, children progress through a series of perpetual swimming lessons, graduating to higher levels of difficulty as swimming skills are mastered. Goldfish also offers special events like birthday parties, family swim, accelerated Jump Start Clinics and our Recreational Swim Team, catered to swimmers who have completed the Goldfish Pro Level.

2024 has been a *finomenal* year for Goldfish Swim School, and since it wouldn't have been the same without all of you, we wanted to share some highlights! 🌟
After opening 17 new locations this year, our total count is now up to 178 Goldfish Swim School locations in over 35 states and Canada!! At those locations, over 400K children were enrolled in swim lessons, and 108M minutes were spent teaching kids to be safer in and around the water. 🧡
This year has seen too many swim smiles, not to mention Fintastic Friendships, to count—and that alone is worth celebrating! To our entire community, thank you for being with us and making this community an incredibly special place to be a part of.
That's a wrap! 😉

Dr. Molly’s (non-tech) Holiday Gift Guide for Kids! ✨
💫 Growing Imagination: Puppets and costumes are great for helping kids create their own stories and learn how to speak up in front of others. Often children work out their emotional challenges and practice new emotional skills through play. For all these reasons PLAYFUL MINDS POP UP PUPPET THEATER is my choice in this category @playful_minds
🚜 Play like Real Life: Whether kids are playing with construction vehicles or dolls, they love to pretend to be grownups. One of the more unique gifts that allows kids to have fun in this way is Melissa and Doug’s @melissaanddougtoys Vending Machine Play Set. So fun!
🟦 Creating by Building: Legos are an amazing go to gift. Another option are magnetic tiles. These cool tiles connect with magnets, come in different shapes, colors and sizes and can be made into specific designs or freely formed into child created designs.
🧠 STEM Ideas: Two great gift ideas for science and tech-oriented kids are Snap Circuits Jr. Select where kids can build over 130 electronic projects and Dissect It + where future doctors and vets can learn about how reptile bodies work.
🎷 Music builds brain connections unlike anything else. Making music is great fun for kids. Quercetti’s SaxoFlute Super is a great way to introduce music making. Kids can take assemble the toy saxophone in a variety of ways so the sound will be different every time!
🎨 Creative Arts: Beyond crayons and coloring books, Hape’s Colour Mix Painting. Squishmallows Crochet Kit, and Do It Yourself Magic Wand Kit are great choices!
🧡 Swim lessons are a great gift and are a MUST for every child this holiday season! Swim lessons are fun, grow confidence, and teach lifesaving skills. Be sure to add Goldfish Swim Lessons to your list and ask your local Goldfish about Holiday Packages!

Two more tips from @doctormollyoshea ✨
Stress Busting Tip 2 (to tackle overwhelm): Take 1 thing off your ‘must do’ list. Every parent creates lists that feel like ‘must dos’ when in reality they aren’t. You don’t have to attend EVERY game. You don’t have to drive to EVERY practice (set up a carpool or let a friend/grandparent drive). You don’t HAVE to make your child’s school treat for their birthday (buying a store-bought treat is just as fun for the kids).
Stress Busting Tip 3 (to tackle isolation): Create a parent posse at work or through school. Set up a text group or coffee club and use it as a place to share primarily ‘parenting fails’ and hard moments. Building comradery around the hard times will creates a safe space and a way to normalize ‘real life’ in ways that social media doesn’t.
We always remind ourselves to be gentle with our kiddos, be gentle with you too — you’re doing great. 🧡

World's Largest Swimming Lesson - 2024
Our mission has always been to teach as many children as possible how to swim and to learn how to be safer in and around the water. We know this is a big mission, and it's why we're so passionate about collaborating with other amazing partners in the water safety space.
Earlier this summer, over 80 Goldfish Swim School locations participated in The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson to help build awareness about the importance of teaching children to swim. 💙 🧡
"By joining our voices together, members of TEAM WLSL™ believe that we can make a positive difference in the lives of children and adults around the world and drive home the message that learning to swim is as important to general safety as wearing a helmet when riding a bike or wearing a seat belt when riding in a car." -- TEAM WLSL™
