Pool Scouts

While families across the country remain stuck at home, unable to travel amid a persistent pandemic, they’re looking to bring vacation-style fun into their homes in the form of swimming pools. For <a href="https://poolscouts.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-the-nature-of-the-pool-cleaning-industry-has-allowed-pool-scouts-franchisees-to-thrive-2713658" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Pool Scouts</a>, a pool-cleaning service franchise, this has been an advantageous business opportunity.<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/parks-rec/aquatic-venues.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-the-nature-of-the-pool-cleaning-industry-has-allowed-pool-scouts-franchisees-to-thrive-2713658" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">According to the CDC</a>, as long as pools or hot tubs are properly cleaned, they cannot spread the virus — which suggests that brands like <a href="https://1851franchise.com/poolscouts">Pool Scouts</a> are a sound investment in the current business landscape. And as more people choose to <a href="https://www.estatenvy.com/rural-and-residential-real-estate-prices-rise-as-people-consider-abandoning-city-living-1277?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-the-nature-of-the-pool-cleaning-industry-has-allowed-pool-scouts-franchisees-to-thrive-2713658#franbuzz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">move away from the city</a> and into larger, suburban homes with backyard pools as a safe space for stress relief and entertainment, the need for pool-cleaning services continues to rise.“Interest in residential pool services is skyrocketing right now, as families are looking for a safe activity they can do together to relax,” said <a href="https://1851franchise.com/poolscouts/texas-pool-scouts-franchisee-john-breton-lauds-brand-viability-during-difficult-times-2712887#brand-latest-stories">Texas Pool Scouts franchisee John Breton</a>. “They’re also looking for a trusted brand that will follow best safety practices, which Pool Scouts is absolutely doing.”&nbsp;The effects of COVID-19 have had little impact on the need for pool-cleaning services, a concept that has felt energized amidst the COVID-19 crisis. According to the Pool Scouts’ president Michael Wagner, the demand for their services has been high. The main impact this crisis has had on the brand has been the need to update its health and safety protocols.&nbsp;“COVID-19 has impacted our business with regards to the safeguarding of our employees and customers, but demand for our service is high,” Wagner said. “We have instituted protocols to protect our employees — PPE, processes, sanitizing, etc. — and to communicate effectively with our customers.”&nbsp;Wagner also provided insights into <a href="https://1851franchise.com/poolscouts/pool-scouts-inks-multi-unit-franchise-deal-with-franbridge-capital-for-atlanta-expansion-2713558#brand-latest-stories">Pool Scouts’ growth</a> since the start of 2020, stating that the brand has signed eight new franchisees with 21 new territories sold so far.“With our recurring-revenue model and pool construction around the country growing substantially, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/poolscouts/how-pool-scouts-shows-tenacity-during-times-of-uncertainty-2712701#brand-latest-stories">now is the perfect time to invest</a> in our pool cleaning and maintenance franchise,” Wagner said.As the country continues to navigate its way through the pandemic, it’s become clear that nothing is predictable. But what has been made easy to see, is that the pool-cleaning industry is one to watch, and Pool Scouts is the brand to buy.“There’s no need to interact face-to-face, no need for face-to-face contact, but there is a need for a clean pool,” Wagner said. “Pool Scouts is on a roll around the country.”The startup costs for a Pool Scouts franchise range from $80,400 to $133,300. The franchise fee for a single territory is $20,000.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://poolscoutsfranchise.com/">Pool Scouts</a>, the leading national pool service franchise, is once again partnering with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hopefloats.foundation/">Hope Floats Foundation</a>. May is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/may/national-water-safety-month-may">National Water Safety Month</a>, and<a href="https://1851franchise.com/poolscouts/info"> Pool Scouts</a> franchise locations will participate in the fundraising campaign, raising money to support Hope Floats’ mission of providing swim lesson scholarships to underserved children nationwide.Since 2021, Pool Scouts has raised $106,000 for Hope Floats. Last year, the campaign helped expand access to swim lessons at a critical time, giving more children access to lessons ahead of summer. This year, the brand is setting a $10,000 goal.<a href="https://www.stepintoswim.org/">Step Into Swim</a>, an initiative of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.phta.org/">Pool &amp; Hot Tub Alliance</a>, an organization dedicated to promoting water safety and making waves in drowning prevention, is once again pledging to match donations up to $20,000 for a second year. Step Into Swim has funded swimming lessons for more than 300,000 children across the country.&nbsp;“Water safety is something our franchisees see firsthand in the communities they serve, so this partnership is a natural extension of what we do every day,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynlea-rudell-9a8b797/">Lynlea Rudell</a>, director of marketing for Pool Scouts. “As our system grows and we celebrate our 10th year, we have an opportunity to make an even bigger impact by helping more families access swim lessons and stay safe around the water.”<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-m-b4558317/">Kristin Mabrouk</a>, executive director for Hope Floats, said the collaboration continues to grow in impact each year as both organizations expand. Through the campaign, funds have been used to support families and provide access to children who may be the first in their families to learn to swim.“Pool Scouts is a very aligned partnership because they're working with people who understand the need for water safety,” she said. “Then we're able to allocate those scholarship funds to those same communities that they're in.”According to the CDC,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2024/s0514-vs-drowning.html">drowning is the leading cause of accidental death among children</a>. Formal swim lessons can&nbsp;<a href="https://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/news/drowning-prevention-starts-with-swim-lessons/">reduce that risk by 88%</a>, and Pool Scouts’ donations help make those lessons available to more families in the communities it serves.Mabrouk said the timing of the campaign matters because it lines up right before summer, when more families are around pools and water. That makes it easier to get kids into lessons right when they need them. She also pointed out that the funding can make a real difference for families with more than one child, since it allows siblings to take lessons at the same time instead of spacing them out or choosing just one.National Water Safety Month highlights the role education plays in keeping families safe around the water. For Pool Scouts, that focus connects directly to its broader effort to support the communities it serves.“The Pool Scouts network keeps expanding and so does ours, so we can help more people everywhere,” Mabrouk said. “We're very grateful for the partnership and excited to be going into our 10th year and beyond.”Those interested in donating to the Pool Scouts/Hope Floats campaign for National Water Safety Month can do so at&nbsp;<a href="https://givebutter.com/poolscouts2026">https://givebutter.com/poolscouts2026</a>.&nbsp;To learn more about franchise opportunities with Pool Scouts, visit:<a href="https://1851franchise.com/poolscouts"> https://1851franchise.com/poolscouts</a>.&nbsp;ABOUT POOL SCOUTS:Virginia Beach, Virginia-based Pool Scouts is a premier pool service franchise focused on delivering a quality, consistent brand experience while providing pool cleaning, maintenance and minor repair services at residential properties.
