Year-round swim lessons in McMurray- Peters Township, PA
A quick chat with Goldfish Swim School Assistant General Manager, Joel Blesh
Goldfish Swim School- Peters Township is the premier learn-to-swim franchise concept providing swim lessons and water safety instruction to infants and children ages four months to 12 years. Goldfish offers swim lessons and programs using a proprietary philosophy, The Science of SwimPlay®, to build life skills both in and out of the water using play-based learning in a fun and safe environment.
Our swim lessons were created by parents, for parents, with the goal in mind to give kids the platform to make waves in life! All classes are offered by specially trained instructors in a safe, child-friendly, and engaging environment. We want our members to have great experiences in the water and at our school. With children being our main focus, we have built everything with them in mind. Our in-school experience is second to none and we have the opportunity and obligation to translate that beyond our front door and into the community.
We're here to combat the drowning statistic, which is the leading cause of accidental death in children ages 1-4. Here at Goldfish, our focus is on teaching children the essential life-saving skills so, in the unfortunate event of a water emergency, they'll have the skills to get themselves to safety or call for help. As a father, I'm so relieved that I have this amazing place to bring my little ones so they can learn from our highly qualified instructors, which gives me some peace of mind during our family time in and around the water. We are a brand that matters – it's a purpose-driven business with a life-saving mission to reduce the number of accidental childhood drownings in Pennsylvania and the other Goldfish locations across North America.
While it is and always will be Goldfish Swim School's core mission to teach water safety, our team of employees truly end up playing a critical role in the whole development of the swimmers and that extends throughout the school to their coworkers as well. We employ lifeguards, Swim Instructors, and Front Desk Sales representatives starting at age 16. For some of my employees, this is their first job! I am honored to be able to provide an employment experience that creates a safe space to define themselves as responsible employees and allows for personal growth and leadership qualities, creating confidence- in the pool and life.
I enjoy talking to local parents about our learn-to-swim program and the extension of our program into the non-competitive Swim Force team practice.Parents are always looking for a safe place for their children to thrive, and at Goldfish, swimming with us every week provides that consistency and progress they desire. Goldfish is not just an afterschool activity for the youth in our South Pittsburgh community. Our weekly swim lessons provide children of all ages and ability levels with a life-long and life-saving skill all while having fun in the water with engaging instructors. My Crew is instructed to always be a voice of encouragement, helping children build their confidence and aspire for more. Isn't it always more enjoyable to learn something new while laughing, high-fiving, and celebrating your accomplishments all along the way!
