Dedicated Swim School Franchise
Build a Community Landmark
A Dedicated SafeSplash school is a swim school with your name on the lease and your pool in the water. You control the schedule, the experience, and the growth. It's the format for owners who want to build something lasting in their community.
What is a Dedicated SafeSplash location?
A Dedicated location is a SafeSplash swim school operating in a stand-alone building or in-line retail space with a pool dedicated entirely to SafeSplash programs. Because you aren't sharing pool time, you can run classes across full weekly schedules, add parties and camps, and serve more families.

We have owned a dedicated SafeSplash location for 3 years now and have opened our second location. We are happy with how business has flourished in our area where we introduced SafeSplash with the excellent support [from corporate], the breakthrough curriculum, and approach to swimming as a life skill. We consistently recommend SafeSplash to new franchisees!
