The following was provided by 2 Moms Media on behalf of Goldfish Swim School:

"Goldfish Swim School, the country’s leading water safety and swim lesson school offering infant and child swim lessons, is pleased to announce that construction of a new Glen Ellyn, IL location is currently underway.

The newest addition to the Goldfish Swim School family joins nine other Illinois locations (Roscoe Village, Wicker Park, Mundelein, Evanston, Burr Ridge, St. Charles, Naperville, Elmhurst and Plainfield) and dozens of other successful Goldfish locations throughout the United States. Glen Ellyn is one of several new Goldfish Swim School locations planned for 2017.

Goldfish Swim School provides swim instruction to children ages 4 months to 12 years-old in a unique 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.

In addition to swim lessons, Goldfish Swim School of Glen Ellyn offers weekly family swims (for both members and non-members) and party packages. Facility highlights include an air conditioned viewing gallery for parents to watch lessons, a spacious family dressing area with private changing rooms, snack bar, retail shop and warm, tropical décor.

Located at 545 Roosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn, Goldfish Swim School will offer a wide range of swimming classes for all ages and skill levels at times that are convenient for every family’s schedule. Owner Alex Tyler is excited to bring Goldfish Swim School to families in the Glen Ellyn area. “I have had a wonderful experience operating our St. Charles facility for the past three years. I know that the Goldfish Swim School model is the best one out there and I’m excited to bring our curriculum and programs to our brand new, state-of-the-art swimming facility here in Glen Ellyn,” says Tyler.

Goldfish Swim School of Glen Ellyn anticipates an early summer 2017 opening. Families can pre-register for lessons by visiting the website or calling 630/446-9100. As construction of the facility continues, Goldfish is also actively seeking to fill positions for certified swim instructors, deck supervisors, lifeguards and customer service roles.
