What one unit earns on your invested capital
Model A · Single-Unit Return
Computes unlevered return on invested capital (ROIC) for a single franchise unit, read against the 30–60% reference band · Yale SOM, Post-MBA Path Exhibit 2 (2023). Below that band a passive index fund likely outperforms; above it the franchisor has pricing power you're subsidizing.
Note: Item 19 revenue is what the franchisor discloses, and it is the top line only — gross sales are not profit. No FDD discloses the operating costs that turn one into the other, so those fields start empty and nothing is modelled until you supply them from your own lease quote, labor market and build-out budget.

What 25 units return when you use SBA financing
Model B · Return on Equity: Debt-Financed Acquisition
Models a 25-unit portfolio acquisition financed with an SBA 7(a) loan. Shows equity IRR (your return on cash invested), DSCR (how safely the cash flow covers debt service), and the capital stack (SBA + seller + equity breakdown).
This is the “search fund” or “entrepreneurship through acquisition” scenario: you buy an existing multi-unit operator, use leverage to amplify returns, and either operate or hire management. The 25-unit size is the typical minimum for an SBA-backed franchise portfolio acquisition to pencil as a full-time income.
What “return on equity” means here: if you put in $500K of your own cash and the business generates enough EBITDA to pay down debt and grow, your equity IRR is the annual return on that $500K, including the value created when you eventually sell. Target IRR for a search fund is typically 25–35%.

A 25-unit return is built on a per-unit EBITDA. Fill in the operating costs in Model A above and this model runs on that figure, or take the whole scenario to the full ROI workbench, where the portfolio and LBO models accept your own per-unit economics directly.

What the numbers say
Data-driven interpretation of this brand's financial disclosures, fee structure, and system trajectory.
Unit economics
Average unit generates $205K/year in gross sales. Median is $156K — top performers pull the average up, so a typical unit earns less. Revenue-to-investment ratio: 0.2x. Reported for a subset of outlets rather than the whole system.
Fee burden
Total ongoing fee load of 8.0% (near the Education median).
Disclosure
Transparency score 8/10 — this franchisor discloses detailed breakdowns (quartiles, segments, or cohort data). Buyers can model unit economics with higher confidence.
Operator retention

Risk & Legal
SafeSplash is financially healthy with net worth of $2.16M and net income of $1.95M on $8.7M revenue, 119 units and positive 5.9% growth.

The single serious-topic but franchisee-centered suit is the main note.
Litigation (Item 3)
Subject: the franchisor is a named party (defendant).
One pending lawsuit (filed Oct 2024) by a franchisee's customer alleging sexual assault at a Hosted Location; franchisor filed a counterclaim against its franchisee for indemnification.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a SafeSplash Swim School franchise?
The total investment to open a SafeSplash Swim School franchise ranges from $945K – $1.3M, with an initial franchise fee of $55K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do SafeSplash Swim School franchise owners earn?
According to Item 19 of the SafeSplash Swim School FDD, the average gross sales per unit is $205K. The median is $156K. Important context: Reported for a subset of outlets rather than the whole system. Note: this is gross revenue, not profit. Actual owner earnings vary based on location, operating costs, and management.
Who owns SafeSplash Swim School?
SafeSplash Swim School is franchised by SafeSplash Brands, LLC d/b/a Streamline Brands. Its parent company is SafeSplash Holdings, LLC. The ultimate parent named in the FDD is Youth Enrichment Brands, LLC. Source: FDD Item 1, 2025 filing.
What is Item 19 in the SafeSplash Swim School FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the SafeSplash Swim School FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is SafeSplash Swim School's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for SafeSplash Swim School (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
How many SafeSplash Swim School franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, SafeSplash Swim School has 119 total units in the United States, including 90 franchised units and 29 company-owned units. 10 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is SafeSplash Swim School a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates SafeSplash Swim School as a B-grade franchise with a verdict score of 48 out of 100 (higher is better). The grade is a deterministic score built from six weighted dimensions — financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency — then calibrated against SBA loan charge-off rates and FDD age. Transparency is one of the six, so a filing that discloses less scores lower on that dimension than one that discloses more. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
