Big Blue Swim School signed three new franchisees in March, at the peak of Covid-19, for 11 units across Pittsburgh, New York, Southern Connecticut, and Michigan. Thompson emphasized why now is the time to invest in the swim school brand.“Swim lessons fill a vital skill for water safety and cannot be replaced by an online offering, Thompson said. “Unlike other hard goods retail franchises, swim lessons are impervious to Amazon.”In addition to signing deals, Big Blue Swim School is supporting its franchise owners and swim associates during this unprecedented time. When locations were temporarily closed due to Covid-19, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/bigblueswimschool">Big Blue Swim School continued</a> to pay its associates and provide ways to stay engaged with customers via social media.<a href="https://www.franchisechatter.com/2020/05/23/qa-with-scott-thompson-chief-development-officer-of-big-blue-swim-school/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-chatter-big-blue-swim-school-continues-to-sign-franchisees-amid-pandemic-2713540" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Read the full Q&amp;A on Franchise Chatter here.</a>
