Aqua-Tots Swim Schools Franchise Model Overview

Aqua-Tots Swim Schools teach small-group and private swim lessons, mostly to young children, and host pool parties, out of an indoor facility of at least 6,000 square feet in a retail strip or commercial street. The defining feature is the pool itself: the investment runs well into seven figures, driven by tenant improvements and pool design and construction in a leased space, plus a significant grand-opening marketing spend. Revenue is lesson-based and recurring, and the franchisor's Item 19 reports average gross revenue by region. Royalty is a percentage of gross revenue plus a national advertising contribution. The franchisee must personally participate for at least the first twelve months, and the school must always be supervised by a full-time Certified Operator who has completed training in Arizona. The system is almost entirely franchised and has grown each of the last three years, with a handful of franchise transfers each year. Transfers carry a fee and require franchisor approval.

Ideal owner profile

Well-capitalized owner or group able to fund a seven-figure leased pool build-out
Willing to work in the business for the first year, then place a full-time Certified Operator
Comfortable managing young, part-time instructor staff and parent-facing customer service
Interest in children's programming and safety-driven, schedule-based recurring revenue
Multi-unit developers get reduced franchise fees on additional schools
