Thank you Goldfish Swim School


This month’s gratification post is to Goldfish Swim School of Milford! Each month we thank an individual, business and/or organization who supports our efforts! We would like to thank the entire team at Goldfish Swim School for supporting the Youth Center and for being such a great community partner!


First, we are acknowledging Goldfish Swim School this month because over the last year they have been offering free swim lessons to families of our morning Kids Play Group, for 0-5 year olds! We have had multiple families take advantage of this awesome opportunity to have three months of free swim lessons, a vital skill for everyone to learn at a young age! In addition to offering these classes, Goldfish has also had their instructors come out on numerous occasions with their Mascot Bubbles, to help teach our summer camp kiddos water safety, as well as provide goodie bags after for all of our program participants! Finally, Goldfish Swim School always looks to support our events as well, sponsoring a Holiday collection of gifts at the their location for the second year in row and by purchasing candy and Halloween bags for our Haunted Maze & Friday Fright Night this year for the first 100 participants! Thank you Goldfish Swim School!
