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
