What Is British Swim School?
Learning to swim is an essential life skill that every child and adult should know, but it's about more than just mastering the perfect swim stroke; it's about teaching water safety and survival techniques to combat the many lives lost to drowning.
- A recognized trademark of British Swim School is its unique and highly effective teaching methods used to teach all ages how to swim and to be safer in the water.
- While many of our owners prefer to be hands-on owner-operators, it is also possible to start as a semi-absentee model, with the right team in place.
- Beginning with 1-2 office staff and 2-3 instructors, this business model allows for a lot of room for growth.
- Business coaches are available to assist franchise owners with all operational questions - from budgeting to hiring to training!
