Goldfish Swim School begins construction on new Wicker Park location

Leading water safety and swim lesson school opening a second Chicago location to serve more families

Goldfish Swim School, Chicago’s leading water safety and swim lesson school offering infant and child swim lessons, is pleased to announce that construction of a new 10,000 square foot Wicker Park location is currently underway. The newest addition to the Goldfish Swim School family joins a thriving Roscoe Village location (open since January 2013) and dozens of other successful Goldfish locations throughout the United States.

Goldfish Swim School provides year-round swim instruction to children ages 4 months to 12 years-old in a unique setting with highly trained instructors, small class sizes (max 4:1 student to teacher ratio), warm 90-degree pools, and a state-of-the-art water purification system. Families with children of different ages and skill levels can conveniently have all of their swimmers in the pool during the same half hour time slot.

In addition to swim lessons, Goldfish Swim School of Wicker Park will offer weekly family swims (for both members and non-members) as well as party packages. Facility highlights include an air conditioned viewing gallery for parents to watch lessons, a spacious family dressing area with private changing rooms, snack bar, retail shop and a warm, tropical décor.
