From 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 is coming to Arlington Heights in summer 2017.
The newest addition to the Goldfish Swim School family will join seven other Illinois locations (Roscoe Village, Mundelein, Evanston, Burr Ridge, St. Charles, Naperville and Plainfield) and dozens of other successful Goldfish locations throughout the United States. Arlington Heights is one of five new Chicago-area Goldfish 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.

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 63 W. Rand Street in Arlington Heights, 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 Devang Kothari is thrilled to bring the Goldfish experience to Arlington Heights-area families. Kothari lives in the area with his wife and two children. “My wife and I decided that we wanted to open up a Goldfish Swim School the first time we walked into the Goldfish facility in Burr Ridge. We are excited to bring Goldfish's curriculum, high quality instruction and state of the art facility to the family-friendly communities of Arlington Heights, Palatine, and Buffalo Grove. We want to ensure that children have a safe, fun, and friendly place to learn this important life-saving skill,” says Kothari.
Goldfish Swim School of Arlington Heights anticipates a summer 2017 opening. Families can pre-register for lessons by visiting the website or calling 847/385-9400.
