General Inquiries

How do I open a franchise?

Start the process of learning more about our concept by filling out the inquiry form.  We are actively seeking highly-qualified individuals to become franchisees.  Prior business experience, coupled with a passion for customer service, a passion for kids, financial acumen, individual motivation, and a track record of success are important factors in our evaluation process.

Do I need prior swimming experience?

No, swimming experience is not a prerequisite for Streamline Brands franchisees. You will recruit local swimming professionals to help you run the facility.  However, we do require our franchisees to be passionate about customer service, kids, families and teaching children a life skill that will make a positive impact for the rest of their lives.

Why franchise a swim school?

Swimming is a life skill that nearly every parent recognizes they need to teach their children. The market is stable and consistent.  According to the Department of Health and Human Services in the National Center for Health Statistics (www.dhhs.gov), there are ~4 million babies born each year and over 50 million kids under 12 in the United States.  When surveyed, 8 out of 10 parents believe it is critical to teach their children to swim.  They believe swimming is a life skill®.

The best part of this story is that while the swim school market is maturing rapidly, there is still room for hundreds, if not thousands, of swim schools to be introduced across the country.

With the support and guidance of Streamline Brands, you can capitalize on this opportunity, deliver a high demand service to families, and make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of children.

Billing & Financial

What investment level is required to open a Streamline Brands franchise?

We offer a variety of options to fit a variety of franchisee candidates.  To open a hosted facility, individuals will need a minimum of $30,000 in non-borrowed, liquid capital (e.g., cash, marketable securities, stocks, etc.) along with an overall net worth (total assets minus total liabilities) of $300,000 to qualify.  Additional financing is to be secured through third-party lending sources.  Investment levels for dedicated facilities require more liquid capital and vary by market based on local real estate and construction costs.
