Lincoln and Darby Walden are the owners of Goldfish Swim School-Franklin. Lincoln attended Southern Methodist University in Texas, where he swam competitively. After graduation, he moved to Chicago to pursue a career in the stock market, where he met his wife Darby, a Hollins University grad from Clarksville, TN. Together, the couple have three young boys, all of whom have attended Goldfish Swim School. After seeing firsthand the unique environment and the extraordinary results, the Walden’s knew they wanted to be a part of the Golden Experience. Inspired by the quality of life further south - along with the perk of a little more country music! – they decided to bring Goldfish Swim School back to Darby’s homestate! With a shiver-free pool, confidence-building curriculum and small class sizes, the Walden’s are so excited to bring what they firmly believe is the best kept secret in water safety and swim lessons to Tennessee!
