Thank you, Mindy, Marlene & the entire corporate staff for all you do. The support from corporate had given me the opportunity to grow and expand reaching my territory in ways never thought possible. I have never been so at ease getting up and going to work knowing I am saving lives and making a difference all while making an income for my family. I cannot wait to continue growing with the opportunity of purchasing more territories.

Tara White
Coral Springs Franchise Owner

Being a franchise owner has been a dream come true for me. Being able to create your own schedule, travel, make time for family & friends and build wealth were things I really couldn’t do before in my previous occupation. Best decision I ever made. This company is like no other I have ever been a part of. It’s a family environment with family values and family culture. They push you to be better and help you to reach goals. Baby Otter really want you to win in life and I’m happy they gave me the opportunity to be a part of this company.

Chris

I have a Bachelors and Masters in education, which is why this curriculum-based swimming program is so appealing to me. Finding a job where I could use my skill set of working with children, combined with a passion of making a difference in the world, was a dream come true.
