Big Blue Swim School Founder Chris DeJong Featured on The Franchise Story Podcast
Chris DeJong discusses his competitive swimming background and resilience in business with hosts Brian Holmes and Eric Van Horn.
Podcast hosts and successful multi-unit franchisees Brian Holmes and Eric Van Horn were joined by Big Blue Swim School founder Chris DeJong for episode 50 of The Franchise Story Podcast.
On the episode, DeJong shares the challenges that came with transitioning from his competitive swimming career, and the resilience that made him into the business owner he is today. “It’s okay to give up a thousand times, as long as your feet never stop moving,” said DeJong.
DeJong and his wife started teaching swim lessons as a way to make ends meet and to share the gift of swimming with others. The structure eventually blossomed into what Big Blue Swim School is today—a state-of-the-art swimming institute that utilizes proprietary technology and full-time child engagement specialists to set students up for success.
