With summer in the rearview mirror, you may be thinking that the kids are done with swimming for a while. But fall is actually a great time to consider enrolling in swim lessons! No matter what age and whether they are beginners or experienced swimmers, formal swimming lessons can help build important water safety skills and confidence in the water. Not to mention, kids will love getting to put on their bathing suits even if it's cold out and go swimming indoors -- it's pure fun! We are excited to share that Goldfish Swim School is opening a brand new location in Danbury on November 10th! It will be located at 15 Backus Avenue (in the shopping center just beyond the mall with Hobby Lobby and Elicit Brewing).
