What lists does Goldfish Swim School provide to franchisees?

According to the 2025 Goldfish Swim School FDD, franchisees will receive two specific lists to aid in establishing their swim school. These include an Approved Supplies List and an Approved Suppliers List. These lists are designed to guide franchisees in procuring the necessary goods and services that meet Goldfish Swim School's standards for operating the franchise.

The Approved Supplies List ensures that franchisees purchase items that align with the brand's quality and operational requirements. This standardization helps maintain consistency across all Goldfish Swim School locations, which is crucial for brand recognition and customer experience. Similarly, the Approved Suppliers List directs franchisees to vendors who have been vetted and approved by Goldfish Swim School. This can streamline the procurement process and potentially offer franchisees favorable pricing or terms due to the established relationship between the franchisor and these suppliers.

By providing these lists, Goldfish Swim School aims to simplify the initial setup phase for franchisees, reducing the risk of selecting inappropriate or substandard supplies and suppliers. However, franchisees should still conduct their own due diligence to ensure that the approved suppliers meet their specific needs and budget, as pricing and service levels can vary. It is also important to stay updated on any changes to these lists, as Goldfish Swim School may periodically update them to reflect new products, suppliers, or brand standards.
