TL;DR
Goldfish Swim School has signed a lease agreement for a new location in Wilmington, Delaware, which is scheduled to open by Fall 2025. The location will feature a state-of-the-art pool and offer swim lessons and water safety instruction to infants and children.
The North Wilmington location will feature a state-of-the-art, shiver-free 90-degree pool, a viewing area for parents, and a tropical-themed facility designed to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for both kids and parents alike. With Goldfish Swim School’s unique curriculum and small class sizes, children will be able to develop essential swim skills, build confidence, and have fun in the water. This location is scheduled to be open by Fall 2025.
“From the moment we first became Goldfish Swim School franchisees in 2018, we knew this was an organization we would continue to invest and grow with,” said Goldfish Swim School franchisee Anthony Pistilli. “Our passion for teaching children both safety and swim skills is the driver behind each new location and we are privileged with the opportunity to bring such an impactful business to the Wilmington community.”
Goldfish Swim School provides swim lessons and water safety instruction to infants and children aged four months to 12 years, teaching children how to be safer in and around the water. Each school offers swim lessons and programs using a proprietary philosophy, The Science of SwimPlay®, to build life skills both in and out of the water using play-based learning in a fun and safe environment. Each school’s number one focus and main priority is always the same – educating children on water safety while teaching them how to swim and respect the water.
“Anthony and Greg’s commitment to nurturing children’s relationship with water has established them as a strong group for the Goldfish Swim School brand,” said Chris McCuiston, CEO and co-founder of Goldfish Swim School. “The Wilmington Goldfish Swim School will meet an important need in the community, and we look forward to the opening of our second Delaware location.”
