"Every improvement we make to our swim schools is about creating a better experience for the families who spend time with us each week," said Tom Dolan, President of Corporate Pools at Big Blue Swim School. "The updates in Wilmette will provide families with a refreshed, comfortable viewing area and the space for children to continue building their skills and confidence in the water. We're proud to continue investing in this community and look forward to serving Wilmette families for years to come."

To mark the reopening, Big Blue Wilmette plans a Grand Reopening Celebration on Sept. 26, from noon to 4 p.m. The event is free for enrolled families, prospective members and the local community.

The celebration is set to include a DJ, face painting, balloon artists, snacks and beverages, tours of the renovated facility, and chances to meet the local team and learn about Big Blue's curriculum. New families can also sign up for a free trial lesson and learn more about available programs on the company website.

Big Blue Swim School said its lessons are offered in four levels: Baby Blue, Bright Blue, Bold Blue and Big Blue. Lessons are 30 minutes long for all levels except Big Blue, which is a 45-minute class for more advanced swimmers. Private lessons are available upon request.
