History

Established in 2011.

Goldfish Swim School is a state-​of-​the art swimming facility dedicated to teaching children as early as 4 months how to swim.

We are much more than a swim school and pride ourselves on offering each parent and child a Golden Experience. From the moment you walk in the door, you enter a tropical oasis. Brightly colored walls, tiki cabanas and surfboard benches surrounding our island-​style hair drying station border our pool abuzz with the sounds of kids kicking and hands-​on swimming instruction.

At the pool deck, kids dive into an always tropical 90-​degree pool. In a class size of no more than 4 children to 1 swim instructor, children master the skills they need to be safe and confident in the water. Beginning as early as 4 months, children progress through a series of perpetual swimming lessons. Goldfish also offers special events like birthday parties, family swim, accelerated Jump Start Clinics and our Goldfish Swim Team.

Meet the Business Owner

Alex T.

Business Owner

Alex Tyler opened the St. Charles, Ill. Goldfish Swim School (GSS) franchise in August 2013. The 25-​year-​old Birmingham, Mich. native dove into the business venture after learning more about the thriving Goldfish location in his hometown. As a Northwestern University graduate, Tyler felt that the St. Charles, Illinois community was the perfect place for a swim school — and as a lifelong swimmer, he felt it was important to help other children learn this essential skill.

Tyler was first exposed to swimming at age 4 when his parents began teaching him the sport. While attending Northwestern University, he joined the NU swim team, where he earned two All-​American honorable mentions and participated in multiple Big Ten Championship races. Following his graduation in 2011, he began exploring the option of opening a Goldfish Swim School and chose a location just outside of his alma mater in St. Charles, Ill.
