Goldfish Swim School, the country’s leading water safety and swim lesson school offering infant and child swim lessons, is pleased to announce the opening of a new 8,000 square foot Chapel Hill, NC location. The newest addition to the Goldfish Swim School family will be welcoming swimmers into the pool in December 2019. Goldfish Swim School Chapel Hill joins two other thriving Goldfish Swim School locations in Wake Forest and Cary.

Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children ages one through four and the Goldfish team is committed to changing those statistics through swim instruction and free water safety education for local families.

Goldfish Swim School Chapel Hill provides indoor, year-round swim instruction to children ages 4 months to 12 years-old in a family-friendly setting with highly trained instructors, small class sizes (max 4:1 student to teacher ratio), shiver-free 90-degree pools, and a state-of-the-art water purification system. Families with kids of different ages and skill levels can conveniently have all of their swimmers in the pool during the same half hour time slot and schedule makeup classes when necessary. Goldfish offers perpetual lessons and families can enroll at any time.

Located at 1728 Fordham Blvd., Suite 143 in Chapel Hill, Goldfish Swim School offers a wide range of swimming classes for all ages and skill levels at times that are convenient for every family’s schedule.

General Manager Megan Sweeten and her team are thrilled to bring an additional Goldfish Swim School to the area. “We understand how important water safety is to all families and we are thrilled to bring the Goldfish curriculum, high quality instruction and state-of-the-art facility to more families. Our team wants to ensure that children have a safe, fun, and friendly place to learn this life-saving skill.”

Goldfish Swim School Chapel Hill begins lessons in December 2019. Families can register for lessons now by visiting the website or calling 919/372-0873. Goldfish Swim School Chapel Hill is offering pre-opening introductory pricing: The first 500 students to register will lock in a monthly rate of $82 (instead of the regular $92) as long as they remain continuously enrolled.

As construction of the facility continues, Goldfish Swim School Chapel Hill is also actively seeking to fill positions for certified swim instructors, deck supervisors, lifeguards and customer service roles.
