Veteran Goldfish Swim School owner and Chicago resident Bob Ryan is thrilled to bring Goldfish Swim School to even more families in the city of Chicago. “We have thoroughly enjoyed providing high quality swim lessons to Chicagoans since 2013 and we are excited to open our newest location 10 years after our first in Chicago,” Ryan says. “The importance of swim safety has not diminished over the last decade, and our commitment to teaching swim safety in and around the water is my motivation for continued expansion in Chicago.”
