Recap :: Goldfish Family Swimming Night

Thanks to all for making our Family Swimming Night atlogogoldfish Goldfish Swim School (Peters Township) such a huge success. Despite the cold and the Steelers loss, we still managed to party!

It was the perfect kid-friendly way to celebrate the long MLK weekend and stay warm in January. In addition to swimming in Goldfish Swim School’s fantastic facility with their fun pool ride-on toys and floating platforms, there was food, giveaways, a special appearance from The Little Mermaid (in and out of the water), and more!

There were about 70 in attendance. The heated (to 90 degrees) pool kept the kids occupied. Yes, it was that warm. I saw no shivers or shakes or blue lips. 

A VERY special guest celebrated with us from Pittsburgh’s Fairytale Princess Visits: The Little Mermaid. A special thanks to Courtney and The Little Mermaid – they made the party so special.
