About this Business
This long-standing swim school offers consistent cash flow, two exclusive territories in high-demand family communities, and a trained team already in place. With more than a decade of brand presence and a strong reputation across multiple cities, it delivers stability, impact, and plenty of room to grow.
Operating at busy indoor pools in affluent neighborhoods, the business serves children and adults with group lessons, private instruction, and water survival training. It also offers non-competitive and competitive swim teams, birthday parties, movie nights, open swims, and camps—creating multiple revenue streams year-round. In 2024, the business generated $467,820 in revenue and $88,204 in cash flow, with most customers on convenient auto-billed memberships that support recurring revenue and high retention.
No prior experience in aquatics or education is required—just strong leadership skills and a heart for helping others. The ideal buyer is someone who’s community-minded, team-oriented, and motivated by the idea of building a business that changes lives. Whether hands-on or semi-absentee, the structure is already in place for continued success.
Sale includes all equipment, teaching aids, retail inventory, office supplies, and access to all pool locations. Two experienced managers and a team of nine employees handle day-to-day operations. Some seller financing makes for an even smoother transition.
With additional pool capacity, re-engagement of past clients, and more investment in local marketing, the business is well-positioned for its next chapter of growth. The seller has relocated after over 10 years with the business. This is a turnkey opportunity to own a mission-driven, profitable business that saves lives—one child, one lesson, one community at a time.

Growth opportunities
The learn-to-swim industry is valued at $5 billion and continues to grow as parents prioritize water safety and enrichment activities for young children. Rising awareness of drowning risks, population growth, and year-round demand in indoor pools fuel consistent interest. This business has built a strong foundation, but growth has been limited simply by the owner’s distance and lack of time. With more consistent local presence, a new owner can step in and pick up momentum quickly. There’s clear opportunity to increase marketing, reconnect with past families, and add community-based events—creating more visibility, stronger relationships, and a larger impact across both exclusive territories.
