Last year a friend shared that her kids would be receiving Christmas experiences rather than the traditional holiday gifts that would inevitably be forgotten a few days or weeks into the New Year. I think she was on to something because that’s exactly what we’re doing this year. There are so many ways to do this but why not give the gift of swim?
We’re teaming up with Goldfish Swim School, making it even easier to give the gift of swim and access to a beautiful indoor swim facility year round with their holiday swim package -2 months of swim lessons, an annual membership fee and a gift basket $185 (a $205 value)!
My kids are always up for swimming year round especially when it’s below zero here in Chicago. Swimming is our go-to activity but finding a facility that appeals to kids and parents and also offers swim lessons is key.
With 7 locations across the Chicagoland area, Goldfish Swim School features year-round swim lessons for children ages 4 months to 12 years old and promotes the love of swimming and water safety. Our girls took lessons at a very early age and it’s paid off tremendously.
We can go swimming reassured our girls are safe in the water while playing independently. At some point your children will be near the beach or a pool and you’ll want them to know how to be safe in around the water.
We toured Goldfish Swim School Burr Ridge this past weekend during family swim. This was our first time at any location and we were so excited to see so many cool features. The facility is decorated in bright tropical colors and extremely clean. I loved there was an lounge area away from the pool with chairs, magazines, cubbies and plenty of space to move around.
The girls loved the indoor pool area (kept at 90 degrees) providing lots of toys (including swim goggles) to keep them busy for hours. It took us forever to leave and all they talk about is going back over Christmas break. Towels not provided so be sure to bring those with you!
Take a look at what you’ll find at your next visit and be sure to check out their upcoming events. Offered several times throughout the week, Family Swim is such a great deal – no more than $15.00 per family and open to the public. Goldfish members swim free during weekday afternoon Family Swim times.

This place looks really nice! I’ll have to see if there’s one near me. I like that they keep the pool 90 degrees!
My son would love to go to that school! He needs to learn how to swim and that is a great option.
I like the idea of this! It would be great to have something to do with the kids that will give everyone joy!
That looks like a great gift to give a child especially if they don’t really know how to swim and you want to get them ready for when the summer time comes.
This looks like so much fun! I like that the area is kept warm.
I would love to put my kids in swim lessons. This looks like a great facility. I will have to check it out! Thanks
This sounds brill! I never thought of giving gift experiences for Xmas, my kids would love to go swimming or any other activity and your right they probs enjoy it more then the presents they go of so quick!
Goldfish swim school sounds brilliant, I like the sound of giving someone swimming lessons. I love to swim too!
this is beautiftul! i wish we have something like this near where i live, its winter now in dubai and our pool is not heated and not indoor, we miss swimming so much
This sounds like an excellent idea! A gift that children will surely enjoy for a longer time than the usual christmas gifts
What a great idea for a gift for any occasion. Knowing how to swim is so important. Their prices are very reasonable too.
This is definitely a fun event for the kids. I can’t wait for my son to dip in the water. Thanks for sharing!

I think a swim package is a really good idea. These lessons will help kickstart a love for swimming. The Goldfish Swim School facilities sound impressive!
This is a great gift idea! And every kid should know how to swim for safety reasons.
Ah shucks! I was looking to put my little in swim lessons (he just turned 5 months) but the closest facility is almost 300 miles away 🙁
This is so cool! I never even realized that there was such a thing as this. My kids would love it.
We have a pool, and I’m thinking of getting swimming classes for my daughter and me.
Oooo how fun!!! My daughter was in swim lessons when she was a baby and loved them!!!
Swimming is such a great skill for young children to have. I remember taking swimming lessons when I was younger, and I really appreciated it! It was always fun and it’s a skill I kept with me my whole life.
