According to the Hartford Courant, Marine Corps veteran Chris Gray has signed to open three Big Blue Swim Schools in the Hartford area over the next few years. Gray signed to bring these locations to the area during the COVID-19 pandemic, looking to provide plenty of job opportunities to Connecticut when businesses open to full capacity.

“I have always wanted to have my own business, but never really saw anything that I could see myself doing until I came across Big Blue Swim School,” Gray told the Hartford Courant. “As a parent of two young girls, a healthy respect for water and the ability to swim ranked as high as walking and talking.”

Gray plans to open one location every 14-18 months. Each location will provide around 25 full-time jobs in the local community.
