Unique Selling Points:
- Monopoly on Indoor Swimming: Only indoor heated swimming facility in town; other local options are small, outdoor home pools or a 25-yard school pool that isn’t heated.
- Established Business Model: The swim school currently operates 9 months a year, specializing in LTS and stroke development for younger swimmers. Despite limited operating hours, there is substantial income and untapped potential for expansion.
- Competitive Rates with Growth Potential: The current rate is R700 per swimmer per month (below market rates), with flexible scheduling for up to 150 swimmers.
- Minimal Operating Expenses: Major expenses include municipal rates, utilities, and pool maintenance. With no staff salaries, expenses remain low, maximizing profitability for owner-operators.
- Lifestyle-Friendly Location: Located in Heidelberg, 20-30 minutes from Johannesburg and the East Rand, offering a slower pace of life with lower living costs.
Growth Potential:
- Expand LTS Programs: Opportunity to add LTS sessions on Fridays and Saturdays, as well as afternoon slots, by refocusing away from competitive training.
- Untapped Nursery School Market: Potential for transporting nursery school children for lessons, expanding the client base.
- Marketing and Promotion: Business has grown organically, with no marketing efforts to date—open days, advertising, or partnerships could quickly increase enrollment.
The current owners are committed to a smooth transition and have built a solid foundation for a new owner to bring fresh ideas, new energy, and expand offerings. Don’t miss this chance to own a well-regarded, essential community business with strong growth potential and a passionate client base eager for continuity.
