Lake Country Family Fun loves promoting all the family fun in the Lake Country and greater Waukesha County area, but we also love HOSTING family fun events! We have a blast every year throwing Hartland Kids Day in Nixon Park, and we can’t wait for fall to see you all again. So, come swim with us and a MERMAID at Goldfish Swim School in Brookfield this November!

Families will need to pick a time to swim: 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm OR 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm. There is a ticket price of $12 per swimmer to attend. Only 40 swimmers per time slot will be able to attend due to capacity limits.

Please plan to be there for the entire 2 hours, as we will have entertainment in the lobby. Find photo opportunities and a story time with a dry land mermaid in the lobby area for photo opportunities. Aspire Dance Center, North Point Chiropractic, Magic Mom Travel, Andrea Weisman Mrs. Waukesha County America will all be there to add to the mermaid fun!! Be sure to bring your camera! We will also have goodie bags and mermaid themed crafts to do as well!

Lake Country Family Fun has fallen in love with Goldfish Swim School ever since they told us about their 90 degree pool area. I am ALWAYS cold and love the warm, so this is pretty amazing! Grab your swimming suits and jump in!

See pictures from previous events on our Facebook and Instagram profiles! Tag us @lakecountryfamilyfun and #lovelcff on social media to be featured this year!

Admission is $12 per swimmer (if the child or adult are going in the water, they need a ticket.) Children must be with their adults – this is not a drop off event. Adults do not have to swim, though. Non-swimming adults do not need a ticket. 10% of the proceeds will go to local charity going to Waukesha Christmas Clearing Council. The Christmas Clearing Council of Waukesha County (CCC) promotes and coordinates giving to families in need during the Christmas season. They provide a clearinghouse that matches these families with area groups, families, businesses, and individuals who wish to help people less fortunate on a person-to-person basis. In 2019, they coordinated giving to more than 1,900 families and nearly 4,300 children in Waukesha County.
