The Facility Partnership Program

A turnkey, zero-capital-expenditure real estate solution. We build and maintain the aquatic facility. You operate your brand and grow your business.

A SMARTER WAY TO SCALE

Eliminate the Real Estate Barrier

The greatest hurdle to launching or expanding a swim school, aquatic therapy clinic, or fitness center is the massive upfront cost of commercial pool construction and real estate acquisition.

Our Partnership Program removes this barrier entirely. By signing a long-term operating lease, you get a custom-built facility without the multi-million dollar capital risk, allowing you to focus your capital on marketing, staff, and programming.

A Partnership in Action

FEATURED PARTNERSHIP

Hippo in the Bathtub

A prime example of our Facility Partnership Program. We partnered with Hippo in the Bathtub to secure the real estate and construct a specialized, warm-water commercial pool facility tailored specifically for early childhood aquatic education.

By handling the complex build-out, climate control engineering, and advanced water quality systems, we delivered a turnkey facility that allowed their team to immediately launch their swim programs without the burden of property development.
