It’s so important to make sure our kids know how to swim – for their own safety if nothing else. I’m glad there’s such a great school in the area.
It is so important for kids to learn how to swim, I totally agree!
Do they have schools in other parts of the country? Say, perhaps Florida?
Tom Dolan has two schools in Northern Virginia, but you can find another type of kids swim school in Florida!
My husband is from Virginia and would have loved this as a kid! We will have to let our kids swim there when we visit!
It is so important for kids to learn how to swim when they are young. I wish I had classes for my babies to learn how to swim when they were little.
Wow! This is so amazing! Swimming s really an exciting activity for children.
Swimming is so important, a life skill!
I heard a lot of good stuff about Tom Dolan Swim School. I have a friend who’s looking for swimming school. Gonna send this to her.
Thank you for sharing! There are some great opening week signup bonuses.
I totally agree, 100% that childrens should learn swimming when young. I’m an adult, cannot swim (is it too late?) and sorely wish I had learnt when younger. 🙂
No, it is not too late at all! The Tom Dolan Swim School also has adult swim lessons. You should try and learn how to swim.
This is a very nice business idea. I wished they had a swim school in Jamaica.
Teaching children how to swim is such an important thing for every parent to do!
How cool! I wish I was closer because my daughter went to a swim school here but we have not still managed to get her to swim. I hope you all enjoy the new school!
Wow, I think you need a new swim school! The Tom Dolan swim school has many happy customers already. Try to find a new school near you!
This is a good thing for who lives there. I can share it so someone might find it helpful if they live in Virginia.
Yes, please share with your Virginia friends, thank you!
This sounds awesome. We are a swim family – my girls have been on a swim team for over three years now. I can just hear the teacher saying “streamline!” in that first pic! Swimming is such an important skill. Not only do my kids know how to swim technically, but when we travel they can enjoy things like going to the lake and we feel better peace of mind as parents, too.
That is awesome! It is so important for kids to know water safety. Being a part of a swim team is also a great experience for families.
