Goldfish Swim School, the country’s leading water safety and swim lesson school offering infant and child swim lessons, is pleased to announce that a new 9240 square foot location is under construction in Acworth, GA. The newest addition to the Goldfish Swim School family will be welcoming swimmers into the pool in early 2026. Goldfish Swim School Acworth joins thriving, Atlanta-area Goldfish Swim School locations in Decatur, Hamilton Mill, Johns Creek, Sandy Springs and Roswell Village to provide swim and water safety education to more families.
Located at 3513 Baker Road, Suite 500, Goldfish Swim School Acworth provides indoor, year-round swim instruction to children ages 4 months to 12 years-old in a safe, fun and family-friendly setting with highly trained instructors, small class sizes (max 4:1 student to teacher ratio), a shiver-free 90-degree pool, and a state-of-the-art water purification system. Goldfish offers convenient scheduling options, and families can easily book makeup classes when necessary.
In addition to swim lessons, Goldfish Swim School offers frequent family swims and party packages for their members. Facility highlights include an air-conditioned viewing gallery for parents to watch lessons, warm showers, individual/private changing rooms, hair drying station, snack bar, retail shop and warm, tropical décor.
“We understand how important water safety is to local families, because we have seen the incredible demand for high quality swim lessons. I am a parent to two little ones myself so I understand the need for a resource like Goldfish Swim School in this community. We are thrilled to bring the Goldfish curriculum, high-quality instruction, and state-of-the-art facility to Cobb County families. Our team wants to ensure that all children have a safe, fun, and friendly place to learn this life-saving skill,” notes Goldfish Swim School Acworth General Manager John Hall.
Drowning remains the number one cause of accidental death for kids under age four. The Goldfish team is committed to changing this statistic by providing swim lessons and water safety education to local families. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children participate in regular, high-quality swim lessons starting at age one.
