What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Big Blue Swim School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay a monthly fee of $20 for Uberall. Uberall is Big Blue Swim School's mandatory social posting and listing management service.

The franchisee will pay this fee monthly with the second invoice of the month. Big Blue Swim School retains the right to increase this fee if the vendor increases its charges.

These amounts are a pass-through to the franchisee, meaning Big Blue Swim School does not upcharge the vendor's fees. This arrangement is common in franchising, where certain technology or service costs are passed directly to the franchisee without a markup by the franchisor.
