    “Four times a year, Goldfish Swim School holds Safety Week at all locations. While we always stress the importance and teaching of water safety skills here at Goldfish, during these special four weeks, we pull out all the stops! All classes focus on special safety techniques, like the octopus and sea otter floats, treading water, rolling over, and ‘jump, turn and swim to the wall.” For more information, we encourage you to check out our blog post.”
