British Swim School Expands in New Englad with Hartford Location

Former Competitive Swimmer owns Connecticut's Newest "Learn to Swim" Franchise

HARTFORD, Conn., March 12, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- British Swim School, the nation's leading "learn to swim" franchise, proudly announces the opening of its newest location in Connecticut. British Swim School of Hartford is owned and operated by new franchisee Hamid Sakaki. Lessons are being taught at the Esporta Fitness in Farmington 1600 SE Rd Farmington CT, 06032.

Hamid currently teaches finance at nearby Central Connecticut State University. The educator is eager to spread his knowledge in a different way. "For almost a decade, I've been educating students and helping them get jobs. Now I'd also like to help the community in another way?by saving lives," he said.

The new owner admitted he has always enjoyed the water, having swam competitively in high school and college. However, when it was time for his son to learn how to swim, they both had a relatively uninviting experience. Seeking a change, Hamid started looking for a better swim school, both for his son and as a business for himself. "I found British Swim School?they have a very good reputation. It's definitely a business I'm proud to be a part of."

For over 40 years, British Swim School has been dedicated to teaching water survival skills by teaching infants, children, and adults of all ages the skills needed for water acclimation, water survival, and stroke development. Its mission ? ensure that every person, regardless of age or ability, has the opportunity to become a safe and happy swimmer.

Across the nation, eleven people die every day from unintentional drownings, with nearly 4,000 deaths occurring each year. Research shows that participation in formal swim programs, such as those offered by British Swim School, can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children who are most at risk for deaths caused by drowning. However, the risk of drowning isn't limited to children: a Red Cross survey found that more than half of all Americans (54%) either can't swim or don't have the basic swimming skills needed to save themselves in the event of a water emergency.

"At British Swim School, we believe in the power of personal experiences to drive change," said Ashley Gundlach, President of British Swim School. "Hamid's commitment to finding a better swim school solution for his son, and now for his community, exemplifies the spirit of our mission to ensure every child has the opportunity to learn essential water survival skills."
