AFTER-SCHOOL SWIM LESSONS KEEP FITNESS FUN AT HUBBARD FAMILY SWIM SCHOOLS
NOW THAT THE SCHOOL YEAR IS UNDERWAY, A GROWING NUMBER OF PARENTS ARE ENROLLING THEIR CHILDREN IN FUN-FILLED, AFTER-SCHOOL SWIM LESSONS AT THE HUBBARD FAMILY SWIM SCHOOLS. The summer swimming pool season might be drawing to a close, but learning how to swim, developing a love for the water, and learning crucial lessons about water safety continues indoors all year long at the Hubbard Family Swim Schools. The temperature of the indoor pools at Hubbard remains at 90 degrees all year round.
“The fall months are a great time to enroll children in year-round swim lessons,” says Bob Hubbard, co-owner of the Hubbard Family Swim Schools. “Not only is swimming excellent exercise for children after school and a great way for them to burn off energy, our basic philosophy is this: Children everywhere must learn how to swim. Learning to swim should not be a choice.”
Children who learn how to swim are also demonstrating more advanced Peoria as the only two Sky Zone cognitive and physical abilities than other children, according to worldleading research led by Griffith University in Australia. Their 2013 findings of a four-year study indicate that swimming children have an advantage when starting school. Swimming children scored significantly better than the normal population on a number of measures that are really important for their transition to school - their cognitive development, language development, and their physical development. The study surveyed 7,000 parents from Australia, New Zealand and the U.S., over three years, as well as individually assessing 180 children.
The study showed that children’s fine motor skills and overall coordination were more developed as a result of taking swim lessons and it showed that children who start lessons early were more socially and emotionally ready to start school.
Hubbard Family Swim School offers lessons to children 8 weeks to 12 years of age. There are even FREE “baby splash” swim classes for babies is certainly something at this new park both exciting and challenging for all
8 weeks to 5 months of age. Parent participation in the water is required. These fun-filled, 30-minute water acclimation classes give parents or caregivers a chance to learn excellent tips on how to enjoy tub time at home with baby and also learn how to prepare baby for swim lessons. There are several different baby splash class times offered throughout the week. Advanced registration is required. There is a $25 joining fee for the baby swim classes but there’s no charge for the weekly classes after joining. “Our popular baby splash classes give parents an excellent way to spend quality time with their babies in the water,” adds Hubbard. “Their swim class together is wonderful bonding time and then after the class, the babies always enjoy a nice, long nap.”
In business now for 20 years, Hubbard Family Swim Schools have three Valley locations - Phoenix, Peoria, and Mesa. To register for classes, call (602) 971-4044. For more information,

ARIZONA HELPING HANDS TO OPEN THE DIANE & BRUCE HALLE FOUNDATION FOSTER CARE RESOURCE CENTER
ARIZONA HELPING HANDS (“AHH”), THE STATE’S LARGEST PROVIDER OF BASIC NEEDS FOR ARIZONA’S 15,000+ CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE HAS SEEN METEORIC GROWTH IN THEIR SERVICES OVER THEIR 20 YEAR HISTORY. The latest big step forward is the planned opening of the Diane & Bruce Halle Foundation Foster Care Resource Center. The organization has acquired the former Arizona Sunrays Gymnastics Center located at 3110 E. Thunderbird Road in North Phoenix. This 18,000 square foot facility will be renovated and improved to provide a one-stop shop to meet the needs of boys and girls in foster care.
a home-grown charity. Dan Shufelt, President and CEO of AHH tells us that, “Arizona Helping Hands was founded in the living room of Paul and Kathy Donaldson in 1998. From our humble beginnings as a group of friends who volunteered their time to fill special needs for people in our community to today, when we are leading the charge to make lives better for kids in foster care, this has been an amazing journey.”
“Our new facility will allow us the opportunity to partner with other charities to provide multiple services to foster families. With thousands of children in foster care today, this new endeavor is another gigantic step forward”, Shufelt says. “The services we provide continue to expand, and this space will open the doors to serving more kids and increasing the reach of our important programs that bring hope and safety to children who have been victims of abuse and neglect. We are so grateful to the Diane & Bruce Halle Foundation for seeing the merit in this project and propelling us forward.” This is a huge accomplishment for
The Organization plans a major renovation of the site, building a welcome, friendly environment where families can feel safe and supported. The theme will be one utilized in AHH brochures of “The Care Barn.” It will expand upon the AHH reputation of being THE PLACE WITH THE STUFF for kids in foster care. 2,908 children received beds and cribs from AHH in 2017 alone. Other programs including a holiday toy drive, a back to school drive, and a year-round program celebrating birthdays assisted more than 20,000 children last year.
The gift from the Diane and Bruce Halle Foundation is the lead gift in a capital campaign to make this project a reality. AHH is hoping to raise a total of $3Million to purchase, renovate and improve the property. The construction team includes project manager CRESA, architect CORGAN and general contractor JOKAKE CONSTRUCTION. Additional funding has been provided by the TW LEWIS Foundation and more partners are being sought to make this project a reality benefitting child in foster care throughout the State.
