What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Goldfish Swim School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a transferee must meet specific conditions related to training, certifications, and remodeling to gain approval for the transfer. The transferee must ensure that its Designated Manager, or the on-site general manager if different from the Designated Manager, completes the initial training program before managing the franchised swim school.
In addition to training, the transferee must ensure that its swim instructors, Designated Manager, and on-site general manager obtain CPR, lifeguard, and first aid certifications. These certifications are crucial for maintaining safety standards at the Goldfish Swim School location.

Meeting these conditions is essential for the transfer to be approved and for the new franchisee to successfully operate the Goldfish Swim School.
