Goldfish Swim School, Ann Arbor

Children as young as 4 months take to the pool at Goldfish Swim School, which grew from an idea by Founder Jenny McCuiston––who has qualified for two Olympic Swimming Trials herself––to meet the demand for quality swim lessons in the area. Having traveled the country and studying the structure of many renowned swim schools, she developed a proprietary curriculum, which she and her Red Cross–certified instructors have taught to more than 500 students. The tropical decor also creates a fun setting for birthday parties, which include amenities such as private attendants and cupcakes.
