FINANCIAL FREEDOM SEEKER!

For over 40 years, British Swim School has dedicated itself to teaching water survival skills to people of all ages, offering swim lessons for babies, children, and adults. We first established the brand in 1981, quickly gaining national recognition for our unique and highly effective teaching methods. Acknowledged as the fastest-growing swim school franchise in North America, we hold nearly 36,000 swimming lessons per week and conducted over 1.8 million swimming lessons in 2023.

No prior experience is necessary to become an owner with us. All we require is your commitment to providing professional and effective service, following the standards set by our existing British Swim School franchise owners. We look for individuals who have great people skills and enjoy building and leading teams.

No! We partner with facilities that have under used pools, such as hotels, fitness centers, and retirement communities. This allows you to avoid the expensive and time-consuming build-out of a pool and the ongoing costs of maintenance. Plus, we have established partnerships with several facilities though North America, giving you access to a network of potential pool partners. This makes it easier to expand your business without the hassle of negotiating a contract each time.

You’ll unlock access to a proven business model that reduces your risks. British Swim School has been operating since 1981, and our sustained success is a testament to the reliability of our franchise opportunity. Our curriculum-based program focuses on teaching water acclimation, water survival, and stroke development. As swimmers progress through our program, they follow the class structure they’ve become accustomed to, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition to more advanced classes. Plus, swim lessons aren’t a onetime service, providing you with a scalable business that can generate recurring revenue and positive word-of-mouth referrals.
