About British Swim School
British Swim School provides an exceptional business opportunity providing a service that will never go out of style ? and with a strong focus on people, cannot be replaced by technology. With a well-earned reputation including consistently ranking on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500, as well as the Inc 5000 list, it's no wonder the mission-based brand is growing quickly across North America. DEMAND: We provide warm water, small classes, highly trained instructors and unique programs with revolutionary techniques that are proprietary to British Swim School. Our gentle, fun and effective instruction ensures an incredible customer retention rate. Last year alone our 300-plus locations taught over 1.4 million lessons to nealy 28,000 students. Our acclaimed aquatic program, combined with our fantastic franchise owners, means British Swim School is a recognized industry leader. LOW INVESTMENT: The common perception is that to create a million-dollar franchise business, you need a huge chunk of capital. Not with British Swim School. Our model allows entrepreneurs with limited capital or those who don't want a six or seven figure investment risk hanging on their shoulders to launch their swim school and start generating revenue. NO BUILD OUT COSTS: We help our franchise owners acquire "access to warm water" by partnering with predominantly indoor pool owners in fitness centers, hotels, schools, and other community facilities. We contract with these underutilized pools to bring in revenue for the facility owner, and of course for the franchisee. By using pool "space" managed by others, there are no ongoing costs associated with maintaining the facility. It's a win-win situation! NATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS: British Swim School has existing partnerships with national fitness organizations like LA Fitness and 24 Hour Fitness and is working to secure additional partnerships at a national level. The company has also developed multiple local partnerships with other fitness centers, hotels and community centers. This helps our franchise owners to acquire warm, indoor pools quicker, without the need to negotiate new contracts with every location.
