Peter & Sarah Kepic

Owner

Peter and Sarah Kepic, and their two boys Max and Owen, hope you will find this learn-to-swim facility as rewarding as it has been for their family. They could not be more excited to bring the Golden experience of Goldfish Swim School to Needham, Burlington and NOW BROOKLINE! Just a little history… Their very dear friends, Chris and Jenny McCuiston, started Goldfish Swim School on March 20, 2006 in Birmingham, MI after Jenny who was a collegiate swimmer and Olympic Trial qualifier recognized a great need and demand for quality swim instruction. They opened Goldfish Swim School with more than 500 students and, currently have over 2,500 kids swimming a week! The proven, confidence-building curriculum that Jenny developed herself offers top-quality swim lessons coupled with an experience you can’t get anywhere else. At Goldfish, the goal is to have your kids to feel safe in the water and have a smile on their face! swimbrookline@goldfishss.com
