A new children’s swim school will soon
make a splash at the Glen Oaks Shopping
Center.
Th e Goldfi sh Swim School is coming
to the newly renovated shopping center,
according to the Feil Organization,
the open-air center’s owner and manager.
Th e school will occupy 9,660 square
feet of the 87,650 square foot retail center
built in 1948.
“Th e shopping center’s location was a
perfect fi t for both the tenant’s expansion
plans and the type of experiential retail
use we were looking to bring into the
property. A recipient of multiple awards
and designations, Goldfi sh Swim School
will be a welcoming, fun and educational
experience for families in the community,”
said Nicholas Forelli, director of leasing,
who represented Feil. Steve Gillman
from Th e Shopping Center Group (SCG)
represented the tenant.
Once in place, the swim school will have
a 10-year lease, which brings the shopping
center to 99 percent leased. Other tenants
include Burlington Coat Factory, Key
Food, Walgreens, McDonald’s, Subway,
Norwell Health and HSBC.
Goldfi sh Swim School was founded
in 2006 in Birmingham, Michigan
as a premiere learn-to-swim children’s
facility. Th e company currently has over
80 schools and 2,000 swim instructors
around the United States and teaches
more than 100,000 students aged four
months to 12 years.
Goldfi sh uses a holistic philosophy
in teaching, which creates inviting, safe
spaces that help kids overcome fears and
learn to swim. Instructors also teach other
essential skills including water safety and
how to avoid potential dangers in and
around the water.
Th e school also features on-site party
facilities for the whole family including
heated pools, a snack bar and a pro shop.
Glen Oaks Shopping Center is located
between 255th and 260th Streets on
the Union Turnpike and consists of three
buildings over a fi ve-block span. Shoppers
can reach center via public transportation
— Q46, QM5, WM6 and QM8 buses —or
