Goldfish Swim School

Goldfish Swim School

Stapleton’s Zoning and Planning Committee favorably received a proposal, at its July 12 meeting, for a 9,000 square foot, free-standing building in Northfield to house a new business – Goldfish Swim School. The project is progressing through the city of Denver’s approval process and the owners/operators, Patrick and Amy Turner, anticipate opening their doors late in the first quarter of 2017. The building would be located at the northeast corner of E. 50th Avenue and Central Park Boulevard. Vehicular access will be off 50th Ave. and Beeler St. and 75 parking spaces will be provided. This is the first franchise location in Colorado for Goldfish Swim School, which is headquartered in Birmingham, MI. The school will focus on teaching children of all ages the fundamentals of proper swim techniques and will be available year-round for children four months to 12 years and for swimmers of all abilities. The Turners are eight-year Stapleton residents and live in the Eastbridge neighborhood.

      WE don’t have the information. You could go to SafeSplash.com and see if you can track down that information.

        Hi Carol,
        SafeSplash is not associated with this new school so they won’t have that info. We’ll advertise once the building has started. Thanks!

          Hi Amy,

          I am not finding a year round swim team for my kids near Stapleton. I wish you could provide a space for this too. Your pool is too small though, right? Thanks and can’t wait to sign up my 3 boys.

            Hi MIchelle – Goldfish will have a “recreational team” that might be a good fit. Feel free to email me at amy.turner@goldfishss.com and I’ll send you more info!

      We will advertise when we’re at that stage. Thanks for your interest, it is sincerely appreciated!

    YES!!! We are currently using SafeSplash which we love but we do not love the drive (and really are not looking forward to it in the winter!) Thank you for having something in our neighborhood!

    We moved here from Chicago where we had a great local Goldfish swim school. If the owners can replicate the success of the other franchises they will be a welcome addition to Stapleton.

      That’s the plan Jon. We have a lot of friends who go to Goldfish in the Chicago area as well. Thanks for the support!
