Stewart Vernon founded America’s Swimming Pool Company in 2001. Four years later, the company began franchising. Since then, America’s Swimming Pool Company has been installing swimming pools and hot tubs, as well as maintaining and servicing them, for families all across the United States. America's Swimming Pool Company aims to be a one-stop shop for customer's swimming pool needs. 

Why You May Want to Start an America's Swimming Pool Company Franchise

The ideal franchisee is passionate about business and doesn't mind the hard work generally associated with pool installations and services. Apart from helping American families create poolside memories, a franchisee will likely benefit from a tested business model and a franchise support team. 

If you are awarded a franchise, you may receive ongoing support as you set up the business. You will likely not be required to have prior experience to start and run an America’s Swimming Pool Company franchise. However, a desire to serve your community and follow a structured business model is essential when opening and operating an America's Swimming Pool Company franchise. 

America's Swimming Pool Company has been ranked on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 multiple times in the past decade. This ranking is based on an evaluation of more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.

What Might Make an America's Swimming Pool Company Franchise a Good Choice?

Being a part of one of America’s leading providers of pool services may mean that you will enjoy easier market penetration. Thanks to the demand for services and pool installations, your franchise may be busy even during the off-peak seasons.

This is an industry that many franchisees have waded into with great ease. This is one reason brands like America's Swimming Pool Company may be able to leverage growth and opportunities. There will likely be a continued need for services. Even though the pool business is dynamic and competitive, America’s Swimming Pool Company is well aware of that fact and may offer its franchisees a relatively scalable opportunity. 

To be part of America's Swimming Pool Company team, you should make sure you’re financially ready for an initial investment made up of a franchise fee and other startup costs. Additionally, you should prepare yourself for ongoing fees that will include advertising, royalty, and potential renewal fees. Franchisees will also need to meet the company's set net worth and liquid capital requirements. 

How To Open an America's Swimming Pool Company Franchise

Before making any financial commitment or signing an agreement, you must perform your due diligence and establish if this is the right opportunity for you. It is important to familiarize yourself with the brand and review the Franchise Disclosure Document. If you are found to be a good fit, you may be asked to meet the staff at America's Swimming Pool Company.

Speak to existing franchisees and ask America's Swimming Pool Company team questions. If your net worth and available liquid capital match the brand’s requirements, you may qualify to open an America's Swimming Pool Company franchise, and you can get started with an initial investment and relevant training.
