Jump! Swim Schools is set to expand from 22 franchised locations to more than 90 scheduled to open across Australia by the end of the year.

The franchise runs competency based learn-to-swim programs starting with infants, and extending to stroke correction for older children. Jump! Swim Schools makes a big jump into 2016 with expansion plans on the cards. Image: Herald Sun.

Founder and managing director Ian Campbell said Jump!’s tailored approach is key to its success.

“I believe our point of difference is the key to our success and the reason 70 percent of our operating franchisees own more than one location,” said Campbell.

“Jump! has a turnkey model incorporating three months training. Each franchisee averages 300 to 350 students per location.

“As a parent and a swim teacher I noticed the swim schools in Australia were designed for volume and were very intimidating for young children, which is not ideal since swimming is a confidence based skill,” explained Campbell.

Franchisee James Rice said Jump! creates an intimate experience for families with purpose built facilities.

“The pools are up to six degrees warmer than other centres, we clean our pools twice as often and we operate classes year round,’ said Rice.

“Our classes are much smaller and our kids start younger at just three months of age.”

Jump! Swim Schools is Australia’s only national swim school, with an annual turnover exceeding $6m.

Although there has been extensive growth across the country, Jump! Swim Schools is currently taking requests for opportunities in Adelaide. To find out more, click here.
