## Story

This will be the second Goldfish Swim School location for Tobey and Tim Kelly, which currently owns and operates Goldfish Swim School located in Milford, Massachusetts. The new location is scheduled to open by May 2025.

The Bedford school 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.

"Since becoming Goldfish Swim School franchisees in 2018, we’re confident that this is a brand we want to grow with," said Goldfish Swim School franchisee Tobey Kelly. "When our family first introduced us to Goldfish Swim School—we immediately recognized its impact. Our passion for teaching children essential swim and safety skills drives each new location, and we feel privileged to bring such a meaningful business to the Bedford 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.

“Tobey and Tim’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 Bedford Goldfish Swim School will meet an important need in the community, and we look forward to the opening of our first New Hampshire location.”
