Big Blue Swim School, one of the nation’s fastest growing swim school franchises, has announced the opening of its 50th location nationwide on October 13, in Katy. Katy will also mark Big Blue Swim School’s second location in the Houston area, owned by Big Blue Franchise Partner, Cheston Syma.

Big Blue Swim School was founded in 2009 by competitive swimmer Chris DeJong to provide a measurable curriculum for students to learn an essential life skill in a comfortable and fun environment.

“Katy is a thriving, family-centered community that we cannot wait to serve,” said Cheston Syma, Franchise Partner of Big Blue Swim School. “We look forward to bringing the Big Blue experience to Katy families and becoming part of this dynamic area.”

Known for its dedicated and caring instructors, trained to tailor lessons to each swimmer's specific needs, Big Blue Swim School Katy will offer weekly, year-round swim lessons for children from 3 months to 12 years old. These level-appropriate lessons with highly trained instructors are led in 90-degree, ultra-clean water.

Big Blue features family-friendly facilities, multiple private changing rooms, comfortable viewing areas for parents, antimicrobial, fall-proof flooring throughout the facility, free Wi-fi and ample parking. Parents can easily track their children’s progress and schedule classes through the Big Blue mobile app.

“Opening our 50th location is a milestone that celebrates not just our growth, but the thousands of families we’ve had the privilege of serving across the country,” said Chris DeJong, founder and president of Big Blue Swim School. “We’re honored to continue to help children across the country grow confident in the water, fostering important life skills, lifelong memories and a love for swimming.”

Located at 29907 Jordan Crossing Blvd. in the Shops at Jordan Crossing development, Big Blue’s Katy location is conveniently positioned near local schools and shopping destinations, offering accessibility for busy families looking to fit year-round, high-quality swim lessons into their weekly routines.

To celebrate the grand opening, Big Blue Katy will host a Family Fun Day event, where guests can get a first look at the new, state-of-the-art swim school on October 24 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, featuring a costume contest, bounce house, face

painting, grilling burgers and hot dogs, and other fun activities. Two-time Olympic gold and silver medalist and Big Blue's Vice President of Corporate Pools, Tom Dolan, will be in attendance for a meet and greet, to sign autographs, and take photos with families.
