About Hudson Valley Swim
Hudson Valley Swim offers a premium swim lesson program to the communities that we serve. We have been teaching infants, children and adults of all ages to swim since we founded the company in 2003. Initially located at various locations throughout the beautiful Hudson Valley in New York, February of 2022 was the start of our expansion program throughout the United States.
There are approximately 4000 fatal drownings in the U.S. each year according to the CDC and another 8000 near-fatal drowning accidents that require medical attention. We do what we do because *Swim Lessons Save Lives!*
Operating a successful swim school does not require that the owner have an aquatics background. Owners instead will hire very experienced instructors with at least 5+ years of teaching experience and have a dynamic child-friendly personality.
The success of Hudson Valley Swim is comprised of several components:
• Willingness to learn from experience of a combined 50+ years of operating swim schools.
• Implement the best practices that we are teaching
• Ability to communicate and build relationships with your community, customers, and staff
• Outstanding customer service that yield outstanding online ratings.
Our training program and support structure equips franchise owners with the tools, resources, and education required to operate a Hudson Valley Swim business.
