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!

Hear It from Our Franchise Owners

"I love being a British Swim School owner because I get to turn fear into confidence and help people of all ages discover the joy that comes from achieving a goal through hard work and perseverance."
– Ashley Yates, Franchise Owner


Why 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 a ranking on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 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 nearly 1.2 Million lessons. 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.

  • British Swim School is the North American leader in “learn to swim” programs and is an easily scalable model. A purpose-driven brand, the company was revolutionary in developing a water survival program that enables young children to first survive a water incident and then develop the life-long skill of swimming within your community.
