What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Big Blue Swim School FDD, Big Blue Swim School has the right to mandate that franchisees operate their swim schools 7 days a week and for a certain minimum number of hours each day or week. This requirement ensures consistent service availability and customer access across all Big Blue Swim School locations.
For a prospective franchisee, this means they must be prepared to staff and operate their Big Blue Swim School for the days and hours specified by the franchisor. This could impact staffing costs, scheduling, and the franchisee's own work-life balance. It is important to understand the specific minimum hours required, as these can vary.
This level of control is common in franchising, where franchisors set operating standards to maintain brand consistency and customer expectations. Franchisees should factor these requirements into their business plan and assess their ability to meet these operational demands before investing in a Big Blue Swim School franchise.
