This strategy significantly decreases the time it will take Seattle-based franchisees to open their doors. In addition to already having real estate locked down, Seattle franchisees will receive <a href="https://1851franchise.com/bigblueswimschool/the-top-5-reasons-to-buy-a-big-blue-swim-school-franchise-in-2019-2709326">best-in-class corporate support</a>, including pre-opening and ongoing training, lead generation and access to a franchisee brand fund. Big Blue Swim School also has proprietary technology, LessonBuddy, setting it apart from its competitors. The software allows franchisees to easily schedule employees while also letting parents easily schedule sessions and track progress. It’s another differentiator that no other <a href="https://www.bigblueswimschool.com/franchising/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=big-blue-swim-school-targets-10-units-based-on-real-estate-opportunities-hosts-qualified-franchise-candidates-in-seattle-july-24-2710019" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">swim lesson franchise</a> can compete against.Thompson said that Seattle is a perfect region for the brand because of its strong economy and established market. “Big Blue is more than a ‘version 2.0’ swim school—it’s a 3.0 swim school. As a forward-thinking community, Seattle will be very receptive to our concept and approach,” said Thompson.The demand is already building. With major companies like Amazon, Costco, and Microsoft headquartered in Seattle, so are skilled employees and their families. Though not a densely populated city, Seattle cares deeply about the welfare of its children, said Thompson.“There are a lot of working parents who are looking for someone to help keep their kids safe. Big Blue is the choice of millennial moms who want their kids to learn how to swim,” Thompson said, adding that 91 percent of all parents will at least try swimming lessons for their children aged nine and under.This expansion would create 20 to 30 full-time management, swim instructors and support staff jobs at each location. Parents love that Big Blue Swim School instructors are full-time child engagement specialists, adding another level of professionalism and comfort. This also results in low staff turnover, saving franchisees time and resources.“What Big Blue brings to the table is exactly what parents in Seattle are looking for: not just basic safety, but safety in a warm, friendly, clean environment where the level of instruction is unmatched. And that opinion comes from taking my own kids to swimming lessons across the country over the years,” said Level 5 Operating Partner and President of Real Estate Services Michael Chin. “We’re really looking forward to meeting the folks of Seattle on Dive-In Day on July 24.”If you have questions about the event, please email franchising@bigblueswimschool.com.Big Blue Swim School offers discounts for female franchisees and veterans of the military.
