What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Big Blue Swim School Franchise Disclosure Document, Brand Fund Contributions are due within a certain number of days after the end of each Calculation Period. The Brand Fund Contribution is up to 3% of the School’s Gross Revenue during each Calculation Period. Currently, Big Blue Swim School charges 2% of the School’s weekly Gross Revenue.
The Calculation Period is not defined in Item 6, so a prospective franchisee should clarify with Big Blue Swim School the length of the Calculation Period to fully understand when these payments are due.
It is important to note that these fees are subject to change, and Big Blue Swim School may, in the future, grant concessions to franchisees committing to multi-unit development, which could include reducing the maximum required Brand Fund contribution.
