Pool Scouts

There was certainly momentum built for <a href="https://poolscoutsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=pool-scouts-brings-first-location-to-long-island-2706217" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pool Scouts</a> after closing 2017 with nine new territory signings spanning four different states, and thanks to three Long Island locals, the brand continues along this strong growth trajectory in the first quarter of 2018.

With over 91,000 residential pools, the Long Island DMA has been a priority market for <a href="https://poolscouts.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=pool-scouts-brings-first-location-to-long-island-2706217" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pool Scouts</a> since the concept&rsquo;s launch in 2016. The pool repair and maintenance franchise knew that a great opportunity existed in the area and so did business partners John Seery, Bruce Jeager and Mike Pipitone.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re incredibly excited to introduce the premiere pool service concept to New York as the state&rsquo;s first franchisees,&rdquo; said Seery. &ldquo;I have so many friends, family members and acquaintances that aren&rsquo;t happy with their current services. Pool Scouts is going to change that.&rdquo;

Seery also owns a landscaping company in Long Island, so he is no stranger to outdoor services and what it takes to make a seasonal business successful. In Seery&rsquo;s mind, however, Pool Scouts&rsquo; product and the franchise model behind it lays incredible groundwork for success, regardless of your background.

&ldquo;More often than not, homeowners don&rsquo;t appreciate the companies that provide their pool maintenance because they don&rsquo;t see a significant difference before and after their service. That will never be the case with Pool Scouts,&rdquo; said Seery. &ldquo;We notify the homeowner when our technicians will be there, take before and after pictures of the pool and even come back a few days later to make sure that everything continues to run smoothly. Few other pool service companies offer that kind of service.&rdquo;

Pool Scouts Director of Franchise Development Timothy Holadia believes that this superior level of customer service is the key reason that the brand has not only grown so quickly but has also led to Pool Scouts&rsquo; success in all of its existing markets.

&ldquo;We built something that can be duplicated in every market in the country with pools,&rdquo; said Holadia. &ldquo;By focusing on bringing in good people, using professional attitudes and implementing great systems, we really have found a winning combination as a brand.&rdquo;

The New York territory is massive according to Holadia, with 91,000 plus residential pools in the area. Due to its sheer size, Pool Scouts can welcome as many as 14 additional&nbsp;franchises to the area &ndash;&nbsp; development that Seery, Jeager and Pipitone are excited to celebrate when the time comes.

&ldquo;We look forward to other Pool Scouts franchisees coming into the area because it will ultimately spread awareness of our brand and drive business,&rdquo; said Seery. &ldquo;Once we get up and running this April, we fully expect the brand to dominate the market and grow.&rdquo;

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.
