Awards were also given to “School of the Year” and “Rookie of the Year” schools that exemplify all core values:

School of the Year Winner - Owner Jake Atchoo and General Manager Zachary Healy of Goldfish Swim School Gaithersburg, MD, exemplify every one of the Goldfish Core Values and go above and beyond to provide members a Golden Experience. Zachary is involved with the Marketing Brain Trust and consistently finds ways to provide feedback on marketing projects, programs and initiatives. The Gaithersburg team piloted and adopted the Golden Learners* program locally to make swimming more accessible to their community and regularly advocate for diversity and inclusion within the school and community.
Rookie of the Year Winner - Owner Dave Handley and General Manager Melissa Sewick of Goldfish Swim School Eagan, MN have been passionate about Goldfish from day one and were recognized for their determination to executing a successful grand opening, meeting every milestone to exceed member expectations, and being eager to jump into any opportunity to spread awareness of water safety, swim lessons and Goldfish with their community. They have gone out of their way to spread awareness by hosting Water Safety Presentations at local schools and providing a safe encouraging learning environment in their schools.

“We were thrilled to have the opportunity to celebrate each winner in person this year in Arizona,” said Chris McCuiston, CEO & Co-Founder of Goldfish Swim School. “This is a testament to our incredible franchisees who work hard to bring our mission and vision to life each and every day."

Goldfish Swim School provides swim lessons and water safety instruction to infants and children ages 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.

*The Golden Learners Program is available at participating, specially-trained locations only.
