About Aqua-Tots Swim Schools
We offer franchisees one business model and a choice of two business plans to meet the needs of our franchisees during the start up phase of the franchise program:
Store Front Location (Business Plan Option #1)
Begin with your own Aqua-Tots Swim School in a storefront location.
* The franchisee will be trained, certified and equipped to develop, design, build and train their employees to showcase their Aqua-Tots Swim School location. A franchisee that chooses this option is required to purchase an exclusive territory in which to establish an Aqua-Tots Swim School location to service clients.
* The franchisee will be given access to the Aqua-Tots Swim Schools facility strategies, custom pool designs, marketing plans and expert experience of establishing the business to help ensure success.
* The franchisee will be trained, certified at Aqua-Tots corporate training center headquarters for up to three weeks with our master franchisee trainers. Franchisees that lease or build an indoor pool in an existing facility have the most flexibility and foundation to build additional swim school locations in their exclusive territories and have the potential of offering the most profitable services to their clients.
Home Based Plan (Business Plan Option #2)
Begin by establishing contract agreements to utilize pools within your exclusive territory: (Master Planned Communities, Hotels, Resorts, Health Clubs)
* The franchisee will be trained and certified at Aqua-Tots corporate training center headquarters for up to three weeks with our master franchisee trainers.
* Franchisees learn the art of establishing contracts for satellite pool locations in their exclusive territory while conducting the business administration and scheduling functions from their home based operation. This business plan allows the new franchisee an opportunity to build a strong client base, maximize profits, reduce overhead costs, and minimize the initial start-up cost.
The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Multi‐Unit Development Agreement for two Aqua‐Tots Swim School Outlets is $517,095 to $1,165,237. This includes between $55,638 and $55,957 that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliate. You must purchase a minimum of 2 units under the MUDA. The MUDA fee for each additional unit is $30,000 with 50%, i.e., $15,000 per additional unit, due at the time of signing the Multi‐Unit Development Agreement.
