Big Blue Swim School plans to open later this year at 1805 Preston Road, Ste. A, Plano. The company’s website states Big Blue offers swim lessons for children from 3 months to 12 years. It also says all swim instructors go through more than 100 hours of training on the Big Blue Progress Program, and they receive two additional hours of training every week so they “progress as professionals.” An opening date has not been announced, but a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shows that $750,000 in renovation work at the nearly 10,000-square-foot space is expected to be completed in April. The business will be in the former location of Pier 1 Imports in the Preston Shepard Place shopping center. 224-268-1130. www.bigblueswimschool.com
