Goldfish Swim School - American Fork

⚠️ Parents, we know you’re juggling a million things, but water time isn’t one to multitask.

So consider this our friendly reminder that active supervision should be a must anytime kids are in or near the water.

• Stay close, within arm’s reach
• Put phones down (things can happen in seconds)
• Make sure everyone knows the pool rules
• Assign a designated Water Watcher (having a lot of adults around doesn’t necessarily mean that someone is actively watching)

Even kids who know how to swim need your eyes on them. Combine lessons with attentive supervision, and you’ve got a recipe for fun and safety. 🧡

🌟 Meet our July Star Students! 🌟

These swimmers have been making a splash with their hard work, perseverance, and positive attitudes all month long. We’re so proud of the progress they’ve made and the confidence they continue to build in and around the water! 💛🐠

Join us in celebrating our July Star Students by leaving them a big round of applause in the comments! 👏🎉

🤔 Ever notice how sometimes your kid nails a skill one week and forgets it the next? That’s why consistency matters.

Regular swim lessons aren’t just about practicing moves; they help kids feel confident and in control in the water. Each weekly lesson builds on the one before and this adds up to big progress over time.

At Goldfish Swim School, our approach turns practice into confidence. Keep your swimmer consistent and watch them go from “I’ll try it” to “I’ve got this!”

A statistic no parent wants to hear: drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1–4.

The good news is that layers of protection—including swim lessons, active supervision, and water safety education—can help save lives. Give your child the skills and confidence they need to be safer in and around the water.

Happy National Swimming Pool Day to our favorite place to make memories, build confidence, and have tons of fun—our pool! 💦

It’s no surprise this is one of our favorite days of the year. Here’s to safe splashes, big smiles, and many more swim adventures ahead!

Our July Employee of the Month is Gemma! ✨

Gemma has been an outstanding employee! She is always on guard, making sure everyone stays safe while enjoying their swim lessons.

Gemma is a lot like our friend Jitt the Pufferfish! At first, she was a little nervous about enforcing the rules, but once she understood that the rules are there to keep everyone safe, she found the confidence to do so. Since then, she has grown tremendously and consistently demonstrates the courage and responsibility needed to help create a safe and fun environment for all of our swimmers.

Thank you for all that you do, Gemma—we appreciate you and are proud to have you on our team! 🧡

🌟 Watch confidence grow in the water with every lesson!

From kicking to floating to gliding, all these “small” achievements add up to big smiles and stronger swimmers.

At Goldfish Swim School, we celebrate progress at every stage. Whether your little one is mastering a new skill or gaining comfort in the water, our lessons turn practice into confidence and fun.

Encourage your swimmer’s journey and see how learning to swim safely can boost confidence on land and in the pool. 😉🧡

Why do we teach kids to glide? Because it’s the foundation for safe, confident, and efficient swimming!

Gliding helps kids:
✅ Master body position and balance
✅ Build confidence and control in the water
✅ Practice calm, intentional movements for safety
✅ Improve breath control and focus

At Goldfish Swim School, we start introducing gliding in Mini 2 lessons and continue refining it as kids progress, helping them glide smoothly on both their front and back. This skill sets the stage for stronger, safer swimming for life! 🐠

💭 Is this a skill your kiddo is working on? Let us know in the comments!

Happy Birthday, America! 🇺🇸✨
