Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Joy, Growth, and Community at Big Blue Swim School

Dear Big Blue Families,

As we come to the end of 2024, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what an incredible year it has been for all of us at Big Blue Swim School. On behalf of the entire team, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the trust and support you have shown us. Serving so many communities across the country – with 13 new pools in 2024 - continues to be a truly humbling and rewarding experience.

Grateful for Our Big Blue Community

This year, we had the privilege of welcoming and teaching an astounding 112,000 students! It is a joy to watch each child grow in confidence and skill with every splash and stroke they take. From the tentative steps of beginners to the strong, assured swimming of our more experienced students, each milestone is a testament to your commitment to your children's safety and success in the water.

Our dedication to providing a safe, supportive, and fun environment has been unwavering. With 82,500 families enrolled this year, our community has grown into an extended family that spans the nation. We are continually inspired by the enthusiasm and determination of our students and the support from their families.

Excited for Continued Growth in 2025

As we look forward to 2025, our excitement continues to build. We are committed to expanding our reach and bringing the joy and benefits of swimming to even more communities. Our mission is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn water safety, gain confidence, and enjoy the sheer fun of swimming.

We are thrilled about the new locations opening in the upcoming year and the fresh opportunities to make a positive impact on even more children and their families. Your support and feedback have been instrumental in guiding our growth, and we can't wait to embark on this upcoming new year together.

Fun Facts from 2024

Looking back on 2024, we are proud to share some fun and remarkable statistics that highlight the collective achievements of our Big Blue family:

  • We provided 333,500 hours of swim lessons.
  • A total of 1,500,000 lessons were attended by our dedicated students.

These numbers represent countless moments of joy, learning, and progress. Each lesson attended and each hour spent in the water is a step towards building stronger, safer, and more confident swimmers.

Thank You for a Wonderful Year

Thank you for being a part of the Big Blue Swim School family. Your trust in us to teach your children is something we hold in the highest regard. Together, we've made 2024 a year to remember, and we look forward to creating even more memories and milestones in 2025.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year full of fun, growth, and plenty of swimming!
