About Hudson Valley Swim

- Differentiators: small class sizes, we teach ALL ages and ALL abilities, unique lesson program, senior level instructors, and no hidden fees - We spent a lot of time initially building the infrastructure that is required. This includes master insurance policies and rental agreements, hiring a marketing consultant, training for office and instructors, and full CRM build out - As an emerging brand, we realized early on that our success relies solely on the success of our first 15-20 franchises. - We are dedicated to creating a community of successful business owners. - We have a great sales, marketing, and development team.

Hudson Valley Swim is offering a franchising opportunity that doesn’t require any aquatics experience as we are looking for qualified business owners with a desire to help their community. We are considering an emerging brand, however, we spent most of our time initially building out infrastructure that has fully prepared us for expansion. We are on pace to open 10-15 additional units this year. Utilizing the pool rental model, we are able to keep initial costs low and have our owners operational within 3 months after closing. Our owners now are breaking even on operational expenses BEFORE ever operating. Our first franchisee has closed on his second territory after being operational for 7 months and our second franchisee has reserved a facility and looks to close on their second territory this year as well. Hudson Valley Swim helps to identify and negotiate the rental terms (if not already pre-negotiated) before a territory is awarded. We also assist in the hiring process for lead swim instructors. This includes identifying instructors and co-interviewing initially. Our owners have access to utilize our master agreement with LA Fitness and Esporta Fitness facilities. In good conscious, we will not award a territory unless we can find our candidates a place to operate out of. Franchisees will be granted exclusivity over a general population of approximately 40,000 children aged 14 and under. We offer swimming lessons for all ages and skill levels, from infant to adult and from beginner to expert. Students’ progress through our program as they become proficient in the skills carefully laid out for each class level. Class sizes are small, and our instructors are all senior level teachers of swimming, which differentiates our program and provides an exceptional learning experience to our students. We pride ourselves on our customer service and our flexibility towards the needs of our customers. We also provide ongoing support for our franchise business owners.
