Goldfish Swim School: Building Positive Impact on Communities

When landlords build a real estate portfolio, they look for tenants who are stable, reliable, and bring value to the surrounding community. What has always mattered most to us is being the most trusted partner—for parents, for our franchise owners, and for the property owners who house our schools. By partnering with Goldfish Swim School, our landlords welcome a best-in-class tenant that drives consistent, high-value traffic to their property every day of the week.

A Partnership Built on Proven Success

Our commitment to safety, community, and growth is reflected in everything we do. We aren’t just teaching swim lessons; we’re building a legacy of trust and making a real difference in the safety of children and our communities.

  • 11+ Million lessons taught each year
  • 350+ locations open or in development
  • #1 ranked brand for safety in the industry

Driving High-Value Traffic to Your Property Daily

A great property depends on a steady flow of visitors. Our perpetual lesson model is unique because it creates a constant demand that never truly ends—children that need to learn how to swim are born every single day.

This model brings highly-involved families to your property week after week, year-round. We become a part of their routine. As a tenant, we pride ourselves on being a collaborative neighbor, regularly hosting community events that encourage our members to engage with and support surrounding retailers. We don’t just occupy a space; we become an active part of the local business ecosystem.

A Supervised Construction Process with Proven Partners

Bringing a premium aquatic facility to life requires precision, care, and the right team. We’ve refined this process to ensure it’s as smooth and efficient as possible. We’ve learned that having the right partners is everything.

Our franchisees are guided by an expert team through the entire build-out, which reduces the chance of long construction timelines and permitting delays. They select their construction management teams from a proven, vetted group, ensuring a seamless process with limited disruption to other tenants. As an industry leader, we hold ourselves to high visual standards, protecting and enhancing the aesthetic of our properties.
