Its mission — ensure that every person, regardless of age or ability, has the opportunity to become a safe and happy swimmer.

We are thrilled to see the hard work on both ends of the franchise making waves for future success.”

Franchise Business Review’s 17th annual ranking of the 200 best franchise opportunities is evaluated by franchise business owners. The esteemed market research firm performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction and employee engagement, providing the only rankings and awards for franchise companies based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance.

“While the pandemic impacted various business sectors differently, the last 18 months have clearly demonstrated the inherent strengths of the franchise business model. The old franchise adage of 'being in business for yourself, but not by yourself' has never been more important,” said Franchise Business Review founder and CEO Eric Stites. “Thanks to fast innovations, significant support, and responsive crisis management, many franchise brands have emerged stronger from the pandemic, and that is reflected in high franchisee satisfaction.”
