British Swim School Welcomes New Franchisee in Boston Region, Expanding Brand's Impressive Footprint in Eastern Massachusetts
British Swim School is excited to announce the awarding of our newest territory outside of Boston, making this the fourth British Swim School franchisee in the region and expanding the brand's impressive footprint in eastern Massachusetts. “British Swim School already has strong name recognition and a reputation for developing water-safe swimmers in the Boston region, which we expect will translate to early success for Ben and Bethany,” says President Brian Garrison. “We were thrilled to bring them into our British Swim School family to teach more children how to become confident swimmers and how to stay safe around the water.” This newest franchise was awarded to Ben and Bethany Fox, a husband/wife team and long-time residents of the Boston area, alongside their 10-month old son. Ben's career in sales and Bethany's background in human resources make them terrific owners for our purpose-driven brand, allowing them to combine their skills with British Swim School's high-touch support model right out of the gate. Ben and Bethany were immediately captivated by the British Swim School model because of the opportunity to give back locally:“What better way to help in our community than to help children learn to swim, survive and thrive in the water!”In conjunction with the British Swim School Cares Campaign™, which provides an environment that enables the continuance of our critical mission of water safety for students of all ages and abilities while addressing the health and safety concerns presented by COVID-19, the Fox family anticipates opening later in 2021. Acquired by Buzz Franchise Brands in early 2019, this premier swim school brand is the latest addition to the Buzz Franchise Brands family, which includes Pool Scouts, a pool cleaning and maintenance company, and Home Clean Heroes, a residential cleaning company. British Swim School currently operates over 215 schools across the United States and Canada, and is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2021! British Swim School has built a strong reputation in the industry, recently listed among Inc magazine's Fastest Growing Companies, ranked #203 in the esteemed Entrepreneur Franchise 500 list, and #14 on the Top Franchises Under $150k.
