It’s the Fourth of July, swim fam!

Swimming is freedom, and we’re proud to help Philly find confidence through swimming at our pools.

Have a safe and fun-filled Independence Day, and we’ll see you all poolside when we reopen on Monday, July 6.

Swim fam, help us settle an ongoing debate - is this a penguin or a seagull on this kickboard?

It’s Swim A Lap Day! We’re not saying you can’t be happy, smart, and cool without swimming, but why take the chance?

Above her are the words: “Research suggests people who swim are happier, smarter, and cooler according to a study we just made up.”]

This made our week - Fitness Alive was featured as a top place for swim lessons by City Cast Philly!

We are grateful for the shout-out, and very proud to be a resource to children and adults alike as they learn AND find confidence through swimming!

[Image description: A picture of the City Cast Philly website with an article titled “Philly Life Hacks: Where To Take Swimming Lessons in Philly” by Siani Colón. Under a photo of person swimming laps is this awesome write-up of Fitness Alive:

“Aspiring swimmers of all ages have the option of visiting either of Fitness Alive’s locations in Center City or South Philly. Parents can join their baby or toddler in the pool for the Baby + Toddler Bubbles class and practice their skills during open swim. Young swimmers above the age of three can participate in weekly private and group swim lessons. During the summer, kids between the ages of six and 12 can attend a learn-to-swim summer camp. Adults can take classes such as Foundations in Water Confidence and Essential Water Skills + Safety. The facility also offers drop-in swim lessons for those who cannot commit to multiple weeks of classes.”]
