Typical Investment Summary

At British Swim School, we don’t go overboard with overhead. Our Franchise Owners start with a relatively small amount of liquid capital to open their first locations. We contract with pools in fitness centers, schools, hotels, sports clubs and many more types of locations, bringing them revenue while limiting ongoing costs for our franchisees. The cost of water, pool repairs and daily maintenance, energy and all the other costs associated with owning a commercial pool are covered by the host facility. It’s the perfect win/win situation!

Though actual costs vary depending on the territory location you operate, the estimated initial investment for purchasing a British Swim School franchise ranges from $93,700 to $125,850.
