The other week, several members of our team got together with our partner, Oakland Family Services for a special day of learning, giving back, and connecting. 🧡 Our team provided Water Safety Presentations for the kiddos, and parents were invited to a winter “shopping” event, where they could select from donated jackets, gloves, and hats, at no cost to them. As part of the partnership with Oakland Family Services, we also held a #GoldfishGivesBack initiative at our School Leadership Summit this summer, where we stuffed backpacks with school supplies for 140 children and put together several classroom school supply baskets! ✏️ Along with all the wonderful school supplies, each backpack included a flyer with information about a 3-month scholarship through our friends and partners, Every Child A Swimmer. Partnerships like these, and what we're able to accomplish through them, mean so much to us. Continuing to find new ways to make a positive difference in our communities and beyond is something we'll never stop doing. Thank you to everyone who helps make this mission (and dream) possible! 💫

About us
Goldfish Swim School was founded in 2005 by husband and wife team Chris and Jenny McCuiston. Chris and Jenny took a concept that they formulated with nearly two years of research, and cultivated a business that provides results in the learn-to-swim environment that you simply can’t find anywhere else. Their proprietary curriculum and systems were developed after traveling the country in search of the “best practices” to teach babies and young children how to swim. The first school, in Birmingham, Michigan, opened in 2006, and quickly saw success. Opening its doors with over 500 students at inception, Goldfish currently teaches more than 70,000 students per month across the franchise system. At the beginning of 2008, it made sense to begin the franchising process. As of early 2017, we are currently in the process of expanding franchise opportunities throughout the country and internationally, with over 80 schools open or in development in more than 23 states and Canada.

We'd like to give a very special shout-out to the team at Goldfish Swim School - Puyallup for their recent work with Trillium, who presented them with the Most Inclusive Workplace Award for 2024! 🎉 Trillium is an organization that promotes inclusivity in the workplace. Through Puyallup's partnership with them, they hired a woman named Katie who has Down Syndrome. Katie has been a stellar employee and an amazing addition to their team! Creating environments that are inclusive and welcoming, not only for students but for team members and family as well, is incredibly important to us. 🧡 Congratulations on this wonderful recognition Team Puyallup and for building a truly *finomenal* team - we're so glad Katie has joined you!! #DiversityandInclusion #CompaniesThatCare

October isn't only a popular month for birthdays at our franchise office, it's also a (very) popular month for school anniversaries - so let's get into this week's lineup!! 📣 On October 22nd, Goldfish Swim School - Burlington ONT in Ontario, Canada is celebrating its 5th Anniversary! On October 23rd, Goldfish Swim School - Gowanus in Brooklyn, NY is celebrating its 4th Anniversary, and Goldfish Swim School - Pembroke Pines in Pembroke Pines, FL is celebrating its 6th Anniversary! On October 24th, Goldfish Swim School - Edmond in Edmond, OK is celebrating its 7th Anniversary, and Goldfish Swim School - Lenexa in Lenexa, KS is celebrating its 2nd Anniversary! And closing us out with their 1st Anniversary on October 25th, is Goldfish Swim School - Upper Arlington in Upper Arlington, OH! There's no shortage of swim smiles and *Fintastic Friendships* to be found among these schools, and while that might seem silly or small it actually speaks volumes about the culture that these schools have created. They've all built schools that are places where children not only learn life-saving skills, but where they look forward to coming every single week, and that's incredibly meaningful. So if you made it this far in the post (phew 😮💨) we appreciate you hanging in with us and helping us to Celebrate! 🎉 #Franchising #FranchiseBusiness

Goldfish Swim has everything you need. They. Have. Thought. Of. Everything. However, the most significant selling point for our family is the play based style of swim instruction. 🧡 This comes from Goldfish Swim School Mom, Allison Thommen, who recently shared a review of her experience at one of the Florida locations. Reviews and testimonials like these from members are so incredibly meaningful to us because they remind us that we're continuing to accomplish what we set out to do. To teach children the invaluable life-saving skill of swimming in a welcoming environment where kids and families love to be. To Allison and all the other amazing parents who choose Goldfish as your top choice, thank you for sharing your Goldfish experience! Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gxNEjvTd #Parents #SwimSchool

Our CTO, Dennis Leskowski, was recently featured in an article that discusses what an AI future looks like, and how we can lean into this incredible technology by learning how to truly harness it, and work with it. "I can envision a world in which an AI chatbot is interacting with a person, and we know things about them--who they are, where they live, which children they are--because we need to know the ages of their children," he says. "But I'm hesitant to apply AI to that simply because we're talking about a children's service industry." Ultimately, AI can handle numerous mundane tasks, but important decisions, including how to protect customer data, should be made by people. "What can't be handled by AI is what we call the 'everyday golden experience,' our edge, as well as the swim lessons themselves," he says. "We joke that we'll never have robot swimmers helping kids in the water." Read more on Franchise Update Media: https://lnkd.in/ePuTCpvm #FranchiseBusiness #ArtificialIntelligence

Last month, we gathered together with many of our Goldfish Swim School franchisees in beautiful Scottsdale, AZ for our annual Owners' Celebration. It was an incredibly special time as we celebrated a milestone year and came together to celebrate extraordinary franchisee accomplishments. 🧡 Among these celebrations, was the announcement of the School of the Year and the Rookie of the Year recipients. This year, Tracey McCaghy's location, Goldfish Swim School - Manchester in Connecticut was named School of the Year, and Goldfish Swim School - Puyallup in Washington, led by Operating Owner Corri Hastings, was named Rookie of the Year! 🎉 These awards came as the culmination of this year's Core Value Awards which were celebrated earlier at our School Leadership Summit. “We are so proud to celebrate these extraordinary schools and their remarkable efforts,” said Chris McCuiston, CEO & co-founder of Goldfish Swim School Franchising, LLC. “With drowning deaths on the rise this year, it is so important to provide crucial water safety education and swim lessons to help keep kids and families safer in and around water. Each of these outstanding schools truly epitomizes our brand’s unwavering mission to provide the highest quality swim lessons, fostering excellence and offering a Golden Experience for all of our Goldfish families.” Read the full story here at Franchise Update Media https://lnkd.in/gwfQPVFe #Franchising #FranchiseBusiness
