Turn Your Quiet Pool Hours Into Revenue

British Swim School partners with facilities across North America to run swim lessons during off-peak times, creating a new revenue stream from water that would otherwise sit unused.

Why facilities partner with us

A meaningful, ancillary revenue stream

Earn from a typically underutilized asset. Off-peak water you are heating and staffing anyway becomes a predictable monthly return.

A positive and measurable social impact

Families in your building or neighborhood learn a life-saving skill on your premises - impact felt nationally and at the local community level.

Phenomenal exposure for your business

Lesson families arrive week after week, bringing new traffic through your doors and raising your profile with local households.

Cross-promotional marketing opportunities

If desired, we can promote your facility to our lesson families and feature your business alongside our local marketing.

A built-in halo effect

Offering life-saving water survival skills on your premises reflects well on your brand, your team and your community standing.

Who we are

British Swim School is the premier survival and stroke development swimming lessons provider, using highly trained instructors to teach lessons focused on safety, fun and skill development across all ages and abilities. The curriculum-based program requires swimmers to achieve prescribed goals before advancing, with lessons for infants from three months through toddlers, children, teens and adults.

Founded by Rita Goldberg in 1981 on the belief that every child should learn water safety and survival skills.

In 2019 British Swim School was acquired by Buzz Franchise Brands, an experienced multi-brand franchising company and parent of Pool Scouts, Home Clean Heroes and Wonderly Lights, bringing additional support from a proven management team.

Our commitment to you

"Without our pool partners, we have no pools."

Building deep relationships with pool partners is a cornerstone of the business and works both ways: you create an additional revenue stream for your facility, and we operate out of a well-maintained pool. As with any partnership, both sides should have clear expectations of what the other brings.

What our partners say

"As a Hilton property, giving back to the community is important to us, and British Swim School lets us do that while generating additional revenue during hours the pool would otherwise be closed. They use our non-peak times, so the program has never caused a problem for our guests. Our guests actually like knowing that we are helping local kids learn to swim. The relationship has also raised our profile locally and keeps us front of mind for local functions."
Jim SalvoGeneral Manager, DoubleTree, Silver Spring, Maryland
"Our experience with British Swim School has been a very pleasant one. They treat and respect the facility as their own and take pride in helping to make sure that it looks nice. The class participants have been a nice addition as well; our residents enjoy seeing the children starting their classes and swimming. The British Swim School programs have also helped us to utilize some of the downtime that we had at the pools. The relationship has truly been positive!"
Emily SyruwsDirector of Recreation, St. Barnabas Health System, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
