Franchise Information
Welcome to Big Blue Swim School
Big Blue Swim School’s proprietary distance-based curriculum ensures measurement of students’ progress in the ways that matter so they can more quickly achieve better results and parents get a clearer understanding of their child’s progress. Parents are willing to invest in this vital life skill, and they are able to rapidly see not only that their investment has paid off, but more importantly, that their children know how to keep themselves safe in and around water.
Big Blue Swim Schools feature 13 lanes across two 91-degree pools, allowing franchise owners to map out class times by age group and make it easy for parents of multiple children to attend classes at the same time.
All Hands on Deck
Teamwork is the cornerstone of Big Blue. There is a coordinated effort between teachers, managers and parents to work together to focus on each kid’s progress. The Big Blue team offers a truly unique relationship of teachers and managers working in unison and executing our guiding principles every day.
The Big Blue Difference
- Full-Time Teachers - We exclusively hire full-time teachers to give children the experience and consistency they need.
- Time-Saving Flexibility - We offer the ability to schedule all children within a family simultaneously, no matter what age or level.
- Stress Free Facilities - We offer ultra-clean, 90-degree water for the children while parents relax in a carpeted viewing lobby.
