This Month at Bulldog | June 2026
Summer Is Here. Keep Swim Confidence Growing.

Closures
June 19th for Juneteenth

Summer has arrived, and so have more chances to build confidence in the water.

This month at Bulldog, we’re helping swimmers stay safe, stay consistent, and keep making progress through expanded weekend classes, Summer Splash Weeks, the World’s Largest Swim Lesson, and new Water Babies and Discover Swimming sessions.

Whether your swimmer is just getting started, building independence, or getting ready for more time around pools, lakes, and beaches, June is a great time to keep swimming part of your family’s summer routine.

Confidence grows with practice, and summer is the perfect time to keep that progress moving.

Skill Spotlight: Rainbow Class

Rainbow Class is where swimmers begin to take bigger, braver steps toward independence. Building on the comfort and confidence developed in Pink Class, swimmers practice putting their faces in the water, blowing bubbles, short supported swims, and safe exits from the pool. Each skill helps them become more comfortable, capable, and confident in the water.

More Ways to Swim: Fridays and Weekends

Families asked for more options, and we’re excited to add them.

Starting Friday, June 5, Bulldog Swim Academy will offer expanded class times at our Orange location, including Friday evening classes from 4:30–6:00 PM. We’re also extending our Saturday and Sunday schedules until 12:30 PM.

These added times will focus on our beginner levels: Pink, Rainbow, Green, and Blue.

Our goal is to make it easier for busy families to keep swimming, build confidence, and stay consistent in the pool.
