What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Big Blue Swim School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Big Blue Swim School may modify Brand Standards periodically, which could include changes in the computer system. These modifications may accommodate regional or local variations. Franchisees are obligated to implement any changes in mandatory Brand Standards within the time period Big Blue Swim School requests.
These changes in Brand Standards may require franchisees to invest additional capital in the School and/or incur higher operating costs. This means that franchisees need to be prepared for potential expenses related to updating their computer systems to comply with Big Blue Swim School's evolving standards.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that Big Blue Swim School has the right to make these changes and that franchisees are expected to comply in a timely manner. This could involve purchasing new hardware, software, or other related services, potentially impacting the franchisee's financial planning and operational budget.
