TL;DR
British Swim School has announced its 200th franchise owner, driven by increasing demand for quality swim instruction and a commitment to drowning prevention. The brand is expanding to new locations in Oregon, New Orleans, Cleveland, and Houston.
"This is an incredible achievement for British Swim School, a reflection of our franchisees' dedication and the increasing demand for quality swim instruction," said Ashley Gundlach, President of British Swim School. "As we celebrate our 200th owner, we remain committed to providing every community with a fun, safe, and effective way to learn how to swim."
This momentum is driven by passionate franchisees and a commitment to drowning prevention.
The brand's latest expansion includes new locations in Oregon, New Orleans (LA), Cleveland (OH), and Houston (TX). As drowning remains a leading cause of accidental death for children—especially those ages 1-4— the urgency for swim education has never been greater. But the benefits extend beyond childhood, building confidence, safety, and skills for a lifetime. As more families prioritize swim education, British Swim School is a choice for anyone seeking lessons and entrepreneurs looking to invest in a mission-driven, high-demand business.
British Swim School partners with underutilized pools in hotels, fitness centers, and retirement communities.
With established partnerships across North America, franchisees gain access to a network of potential pool partners. The company remains committed to delivering top-tier swim instruction and strengthening water safety education.
