Bear Paddle Swim School Franchise

Swim school

Bear Paddle Swim School was created when we saw the need for a quality swim lesson program for children of all ages and abilities in an approachable kid-friendly environment. The team developed the Bear Paddle Swim School concept, creating a one-of-a-kind children's swim program with a state of the art facility and pool. The first Bear Paddle Swim School opened in 2009 in Aurora, Illinois. The Illinois community hadn't ever seen a dedicated learn-to-swim facility like Bear Paddle. Over the next few years, the business opened more locations in Illinois and expanded into Ohio, Kentucky, and New Jersey. By 2017, Bear Paddle Swim School had 10 corporate owned stores with over 50,000 swimmers. The Bear Paddle team focused on culture consistency, swim lesson quality, and operational efficiency to ensure they were able to maintain and exceed the quality throughout different markets. The Bear Paddle Swim School brand has matured, been proven, and is ready to be franchised across the country! Bear Paddle franchises allow more opportunities for children to learn the life-saving skills of swimming, impact more communities, and provides a proven and profitable business model for owners!

Swimming in Potential

Swimming is a necessary life skill for all children and the U.S. population is projected to grow every year by 2 million people until 2040. In addition, the swimming pool industry has grown over the last 5 years to $871 million-dollar in annual revenue and is forecasted to continue this growth until 2021. With the continued growing population year over year, the need for swim lesson facilities for children will continue to be in high demand.

Path To Profitability

Bear Paddle Swim School path to profitability is simple. Start with high quality swim lessons, supreme customer service, and build relationships with families for a lifetime connection - then, rinse and repeat!
