British Swim School is the leader in “learn to swim” programs. The company was revolutionary in developing a water survival program that enables young children to survive a water incident. For almost 40 years the gentle and fun instructional program has made it the preferred choice for parents and students of all ages.

Recently named #222 on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list and #38 among the Top Franchises Under $150K, British Swim School’s business model offers a lawyer investment approach with no build out costs, enabling a faster start-up and shorter path to profitability. Forget the real estate and construction headaches – the brand partners and contracts with fitness centers, schools, hotels, and other venues with underutilized, indoor pools. Franchisees rent the pool area for specific days/hours to house their lessons and don’t have to worry about the ongoing maintenance of managing a swim center. At the same time, the partner facility brings in some extra revenue during a time their pool would have otherwise been empty; a true win/win situation.

The British Swim School mantra, “Survival of the Littlest”, not only applies to their program aimed at enabling water safety for even the youngest children, it also reflects the growing number of British Swim School franchise owners who began their journey as new entrepreneurs with a single location business and have actively developed their respective franchises into multi-unit success stories.
