Meet The Team

Brooke L.

General Manager

Aloha! My name is Brooke and I am the General Manager at the Goldfish Swim School – Fox Chapel. I have been with Goldfish since 2015, which makes almost 10 years of service helping kids and families learn to be safer in and around the water. The best part of my job is the people – whether it be our diverse membership or staff, and getting to know them! Our team gives out positive vibes and each little swimmer brings their own unique style to swimming, which makes it so fun!

Kyle R.

Assistant General Manager

Started lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons in 2005 and never stopped. I felt an immediate connection to the importance of water safety and decided to make it the thing I would dedicate my life to. Over the years, I have taught hundreds of swimmers in Florida, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. I was thrilled to find a place like Goldfish Swim School that shared my passion for water safety and high quality swim lessons and it has felt just like home since I joined the team in 2023.

Belle E.

Front Desk Representative

Ahoy friends! My name is Esabelle, but you can call me Belle 🙂 I moved to Pittsburgh from Upstate NY to attend Pitt and follow my dream of becoming a Structural Engineer. I’m working at Goldfish Swim School while I move towards my degree and I am loving every minute of it. From the excited spins and splashes when the kids arrive to waving goodbye as they leave wrapped in their towels, working here is a fun and unique experience. Outside of class you can find me curled up with a book, crocheting blankets and stuffed animals, or on an adventure with my dogs in the local parks. I love adventures and at Goldfish every day is full of adventure, fun and, of course, swimming.

Hi everyone! My name is Aaliyah and my favorite thing about working at Goldfish is seeing the joy swimming brings the kids. As someone who swam everyday at my grandma’s in the summer, I know how important learning how to be safe in and around the water is for families. My favorite activity is playing The Sims and my favorite snacks are peanut M&Ms and Takis!
