British Swim School - Franchise
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!

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
We love British Swim School! Nothing has made us more proud than the fact we get to bring a water survival program to our community!Nora Farhat, Franchise Owner
The marketing team and franchise support staff provided endless assistance with EVERY aspect of pausing and restarting my business. Despite being a smaller independent company, I was able to effectively navigate these uncharted times and interact with my customers and business partners with knowledge and confidence.Stu Gelbord
What I like most about the opportunity to become an owner and own a location is the opportunity to grow. You can take a small model and grow it into something extreme, something you only dream about.Cassie Prochilo
What I like best about the business model is [the] small initial investment. [It’s] a very low risk to get started, versus going out and spending a million dollars to build a pool.Becky Grindle
British Swim School has been a great opportunity coming from a corporate background and going into a business that allows me to have flexibility but also have an impact on the lives of so many children.Angelica Monroy
