Conveniently located at 22000 Dulles Retail Plaza, the new swim school has been thoughtfully refreshed to enhance the experience for every family who walks through its doors. Updates include new showers and tile throughout the pool deck and restrooms, upgraded changing room and restroom partitions, fresh carpeting in the lobby and viewing area, new reception desk stations, freshly painted ceilings with all-new lighting throughout the facility and new ductwork in the pool area. Together, these improvements create an even more welcoming environment where families can feel comfortable and children can stay focused on what matters most — making meaningful progress in the water through Big Blue's specialized curriculum.
"Families choose a swim school because they want to see their children grow in confidence and make steady progress in the water," says Tom Dolan, president of corporate pools at Big Blue Swim School. "These renovations allow us to deliver that experience in an environment that's even more welcoming and comfortable for the families we serve. We're excited to continue serving the Dulles community and welcoming even more families through our doors during this fresh, new chapter."
To mark the grand reopening, Big Blue Dulles will invite the community to celebrate on Saturday, August 15, from 12 to 4 p.m. with a Grand Reopening Celebration. Open to current families, prospective members and the entire local community, the celebration will feature a DJ, face painting, balloon artists, snacks and beverages, along with tours of the newly renovated facility and opportunities to meet the local team and learn more about Big Blue's specialized, progress-driven curriculum. As families prepare for the back-to-school season and establish new routines, the grand reopening provides an ideal opportunity to begin or continue swim lessons. New families can also sign up for a free trial lesson and learn more about available programs on the website.
At Big Blue, lessons are offered across four progressive levels — Baby Blue, Bright Blue, Bold Blue and Big Blue — each designed with a specific class ratio to best support swimmers based on age and skill level. Lessons are 30 minutes in length for all levels except Big Blue, which is a 45-minute class to accommodate more advanced swimmers. Private lessons are available upon request, though standard class ratios are intentionally structured to balance socialization with individualized instructor attention.
