The Streamline Brands Blog

SafeSplash/SwimLabs/Swimtastic, Streamline Brand’s flagship franchise opportunities, were again ranked in Entrepreneur’s 2022 Franchise 500 list – and for good reason. Claiming the 329^th overall spot among the industry’s top 500 franchise systems is quite an accomplishment. As we’ve noted before, interest in franchising has seen a sharp uptick in popularity in recent years, especially as opportunity has undergone a major shift in America’s post-Covid marketplace. The Great Resignation is evidence that many long-term workers left their day jobs to explore self-driven career paths – often into situations far more conducive to their lifestyle. Having claimed a coveted position on Entrepreneur’s list, our Streamline Brands swim schools continue “making waves and taking names” in the world of franchise opportunities.

Learning to swim provides mental and physical benefits for children, not the least of which includes a lifetime of safety in and around water. When the time comes for your family to consider those all-important first lessons, here’s a full rundown of all the gear you’ll need to keep your child safe and ready to learn. Before you get started, it’s always a good idea to get acquainted with your child’s swim instructor and at SafeSplash, each and every one of our teachers can answer any questions you have.

A childhood hallmark of summer is enjoying cooling off in the water. Not only does water play beat the heat but offers a host of other benefits as well. As a physical activity, swimming is hard to beat. The water is forgiving, easy on joint development, and increases lung capacity. In the age of video games and electronically based entertainment, swimming and water play are huge wins for parents looking to get their kids away from “screens” for a while and get some good old-fashioned Vitamin D.

There’s no better time than the heat of the summer to refocus your commitment to water safety. With a reported 10 drowning deaths every single day, it’s imperative that we all do what we can to combat the risk. Particularly vulnerable to drowning are our children between one-to-four years of age. One of the most effective ways to reduce drowning risk is to participate in formal swimming lessons, especially for children and some other higher-risk populations, those with special needs.

Summer is officially here, and the heat is only going to ramp up over the next few months. For many people, the most popular way to escape the oppressive temperatures is to find some water to splash in. The culture surrounding water recreation is generations deep and satisfying as well. Grilling out, inviting family, friends, and neighbors to join in the fun, watching a sports game, having some cocktails, and blaring your favorite music, it’s a backyard culture we all know and love.
