Why Should I Buy A Franchise?
The advantage to franchising is that, with the right opportunity, it provides you with a series of benefits that it might take years to develop on your own – if you develop them at all. The KIDS FIRST® Swim Schools opportunity gives you the ready-made framework within which to build a successful business.
As a KIDS FIRST® Swim Schools franchisee you will enjoy job security as your own boss, working with a business model that has a proven success formula. The KIDS FIRST® Swim Schools opportunity provides you with ownership of a unique business with limited competition – a business that won't go out of vogue and that does well in any economy.
KIDS FIRST® Franchise Company is part of KIDS FIRST® Swim Schools which owns and operates 8 (soon to be 9) schools in Maryland. Our corporate and franchise swim schools are built by KIDS FIRST® Construction Company. The total capital investment includes the cost to build the school by KIDS FIRST®Construction Company.
