We’re excited to welcome Leo and Holly Smith as two of our newest Hudson Valley Swim franchise partners!
Leo and Holly have purchased two territories in Kansas City North, Missouri, with a planned opening in February 2027! With a shared commitment to great customer service and providing an accessible, life-saving service, they knew Hudson Valley Swim was the right fit for their family.
With 26 years of experience teaching high school math, Leo brings a strong background in education, while Holly brings 26 years of healthcare experience, including management and program development. Together, they’re excited to get their family involved in their community and bring water safety to kids and adults across the region.
We’re thrilled to have the Smith family joining Hudson Valley Swim and can’t wait to see the impact they’ll make in Kansas City North!
