Goldfish Swim School to mark Canton debut with grand opening

CANTON TOWNSHIP – Goldfish Swim School will officially christen its new Canton Township facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and other various family-friendly activities during grand opening festivities on June 19 and 20.

The $1.5 million, 10,000-square-foot aquatic facility at 225 Sheldon Road, which opened May 29, will stage a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 3 p.m. Friday, June 19.

Also planned as part of grand opening activities are open family swimming, a bounce house, face painting, crafts, food and facility tours. Grand opening hours are 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Friday, June 19, and noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 20.

Goldfish Swim School will employ 50 workers who will conduct year-round swim lessons to children ages 4 months through 12 years.

“Canton is an ideal market for our curriculum because it has lots of growing families with parents who want their children to be safe in the water,” said Katie Lee, a partner in the Canton Goldfish Swim School franchise.

The Canton school is the seventh in Southeast Michigan for Goldfish, which has corporate headquarters in Birmingham. There also are Michigan outlets in Okemos and Grand Rapids. Nationally, 29 schools are open or in development.
