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 construction of a new 9,000 square foot Oakdale, Minnesota location is currently underway. The newest addition to the Goldfish Swim School family joins dozens of other successful Goldfish locations throughout the United States. This facility will be the first Goldfish Swim School location in the state of Minnesota.

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 and schedule makeup classes when necessary.

In addition to swim lessons, Goldfish Swim School of Oakdale 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 7055 10th Street North, Suite 100 in Oakdale, Goldfish Swim School offers a wide range of swimming classes for all ages and skill levels at times that are convenient for every family’s schedule. Owners Dave and Sarah Handley are thrilled to bring the Goldfish experience to local families. “Swimming is a big part of our lives and we know how important water safety is to Minnesota families. Our extended community has a passion for water-based recreation. Growing up in the 'Land of 10,000 Lakes,' we all have lots of opportunities to be in and around water. We want to make sure kids have the skills they need to be safe and confident. The Goldfish Swim School model simultaneously emphasizes both safety and enjoyment of the water which leads to quicker progress. We are excited to bring the curriculum and programs to our brand new, state-of-the-art swimming facility here in Oakdale,” says Dave Handley.
