#repost from one of our incredible Big Blue Ambassadors @_megortiz .... We’re excited about B I G B L U E! 🐳 . Ellie’s been doing swim lessons since the new year, but we made the switch to @big_blue_swim_school and have been SO happy so far with our experience there that I wanted to share. . Swimming has been something my family has done forever, so when it came to my girls I knew I wanted them in a program to teach them water safety and help them grow. . Big Blue checks ALL the boxes for us. Their mission is truly built around water safety and giving kids a way to learn that is both safe and fun! The cleanliness, the friendly faces, and the growth that my girls have already had in just a few short weeks of swimming here has blown my mind, and I can’t wait to see the progress they continue to make. . If you’re interested in swim lessons and aren’t sure where to begin, check out the link below to try your first lesson at Big Blue, FREE! 🐳💙 . ➡️ https://www.bigblueswimschool.com/free-trial

Maintaining a clean pool has always been a critical part of our operations. Our water filtration and sanitization systems go beyond standard pool operation protocol when it comes to keeping our water ultra-clean for swim lessons. Our award-winning, LEED certified water filtration system keeps our pool water clean, removing even the tiniest of unwanted particles. What exactly does that mean? 💧Our water filter removes particles down to 1 micron in size. For comparison, a grain of sand is about 100 microns, pollen is about 30-50 microns, red blood cells are about 8 microns, and bacteria is about 2 microns. 💧The pool water cycles through our filtration system 6-8 times a day to ensure we are constantly churning out clean water into our pools 💧 After our water is filtered, it goes through an ultraviolet light (UV-C light, or germicidal light) sanitizer to kill any remaining bacteria and viruses. 💧 Our UV-C lights target harmful bacteria and other microorganisms to alter their DNA / RNA so they can’t reproduce. Without the ability to reproduce, they die. So in a nutshell, Big Blue uses top of the line water filtration and sanitation systems to keep our pools safe and clean, all while minimizing water waste and the use of chemicals that can irritate eyes and skin. 🙌🏼 Want to read more?

We are riding the high of Super Bowl Sunday through this week and have our favorite Super Bowl LV commercial on repeat over here at Big Blue Swim School! This commercial hits home for so many reasons. Here at Big Blue we believe there are challenges that every child needs to overcome in order to learn to swim. However, Jessica Long's mother says it best when she says, "It might not be easy, but it will be amazing!" So here is to overcoming challenges & building confidence in the water. And here is to Jessica Long and all of the amazing things that she has accomplished. Such an inspiration to us all! 📺 https://youtu.be/fqWG5_7nwyk YOUTUBE.COM 2021 Toyota Big Game Commercial: Jessica Long's Story | Upstream
