Will Goldfish Swim School compensate me for sales made in my area through an alternate channel of distribution?

According to the 2025 Goldfish Swim School Franchise Disclosure Document, Goldfish Swim School reserves the right to establish other channels of distribution for the sale of services and products, including internet sales or other direct marketing sales, using their principal trademark or any trademarks other than their principal trademark. These activities may compete with your franchised swim school.

Goldfish Swim School explicitly states that they will not compensate franchisees for any sales made in their area through an alternate channel of distribution. This means that if Goldfish Swim School or its affiliates sell services or products directly to customers in your territory through online platforms, direct mail, or other means, you will not receive any compensation for those sales.

This policy is a potential risk for franchisees as it means Goldfish Swim School can compete directly with your franchise within your designated area without providing you with any financial benefit from those sales. It is important to consider this potential competition when evaluating the franchise opportunity.
