People look at starting their own business for a number of reasons. Some are looking for more control of their future, more flexibility in their life, the proverbial key to the front door and some are looking to increase their income. All of these are factors that fuel the desire of business ownership. Are you looking for the foundation to build a successful business? Do you want a system to follow that will enable you to reach your goals faster? Why do we say we MAY be the right opportunity for you? Well, the process we follow in selecting candidates to join our organization ensures we select the right candidates that possess the qualities and attributes we are looking for. Some franchisors dreams are to be the biggest and will strive for this at all costs. We however, do not share this dream. We simply want to be the best at what we do. We wish to offer a great service and excel in servicing our customers. When you measure our on-going support programs, start-up costs, and tools and training, you'll agree that Swimtastic can be the right company to help build your future.
Swimtastic offers unparalleled training, technical, and business support programs. If you are looking to get out of the gate running you'll find the tools necessary to do so.
You can also experience the benefits of a different philosophy on franchise support. Our number one priority is your success, not collecting the next franchise fee. We are dedicated to finding the right people to join our team. Our franchisees have a very diverse background in both education and work experience. There are, however, certain traits and qualities they share.
Qualities of a Successful Swimtastic Franchisee:
Our Swimtastic franchise discovery process will assist you in learning more about our company as well as allow us to learn more about you. Our objective is to provide you with enough information to allow you to make an informed business decision. Together we will determine whether the opportunity is right for you. As you proceed through the discovery process and learn more about Swimtastic, you will find that our real strength is found in our franchisees, corporate staff, and customers. Swimtastic is about family, integrity and trust.
We value healthy communication with all of our franchisees. We believe, in order for everyone to experience success, this must be our foundation. We strive to put people first, as we know these relationships are our most valuable assets. It's about doing the right thing and loving what you do. If you are looking for a business that can make a difference in your community and in your life, our opportunity is worth your strong consideration.
Swimtastic is also one of the few franchise organizations that will provide you with financial information on our franchise system to assist you in your evaluation of our business model from a financial perspective. Under the strict guide lines of the Federal Trade Commission, will provide you with this information (Item 19) in our Uniform Franchise Offering Circular. We can discuss this further when we have an opportunity to have our first conversation.
We are the foundation upon which you can build your dream. We have demonstrated our success at our company owned locations for the past 10 years and are now sharing that success with our franchisees. There is a need for our services in every market in the United States and we are committed to continued growth in the coming decades.
When you own a franchise you receive turn-key support and a proven business model to help you become instantly operational. As a franchisee this allows you to operate a business and still lead a balanced life between family and career. Take a look at the statistics. Independent businesses experience a failure rate of over 70% within the first five years in business whereas a franchised business has less than a 5% failure rate according to the US Department of Commerce. A franchisor provides support in the critical areas to supplement the efforts and skills of the franchisee. A franchisee has a consistent source of information, support and years of experience whereas the individual business person must rely on his/her own resources. Why reinvent the wheel? Start with a proven business model and a toolbox packed full of tools and instructions for building your dream.
No experience necessary - You don't even have to be a swimmer. The skills and qualities we are looking for in a franchisee are not swimming skills. That is what we teach. Our passion is for children and the love of water. We want franchisees that are motivated to learn and follow a system that provides the tools for their success. You don't have to be a swimmer or love the water to enjoy owning and operating a Swimtastic Swim School. But it might just happen. If you love to be around happy children, you'll find owning a Swimtastic Swim School the perfect way to fill your days.
In the crowded world of franchise offerings we stand out as a family oriented business that provides a valuable community service. When compared to other children's service franchises it is important to consider that most parents consider teaching their children to swim a necessity and not a luxury. A business where clients have to look for your service because they know that they must have it for their children. The Swimtastic business model of teaching swimming on a year-round basic had been proven successful with little or no competition. We have differentiated ourselves from crowded, cold pools - outdated, rigid curriculums - long lines and complicated processes of registration. The service Swimtastic provides to communities has a lifetime value. Children who learn to swim at Swimtastic develop a life-long love of the water. Our parents become loyal to the brand. The Swimtastic brand character will help you create emotional ties to your customers, creating immeasurable value for your business.
Some of the tools we provide for your success:
The comprehensive training you will receive as a Swimtastic Franchisee will completely prepare you for all you'll need to know to operate your business. We not only train you on our learn to swim program and the operational aspects of running a swim school, but also on how to maintain a healthy P&L and to understand the power of marketing your new school.
Our Commitment:JUMP IN! The water is warm here at Swimtastic!
