Does your swim school offer school-based lesson?
Are your school lessons hard to manage and take more time and effort than they should?
When talking to swim schools offering school lessons we hear the following frustrations and challenges over and over…..
We drown in a sea of paperwork
It’s difficult to know students ideal starting level even if they did school lessons with our swim school previously.
It’s difficult to identify students who may be already swimming in our after school program.
It takes countless hours to allocate students into classes only.
The first few lessons are chaotic with students moving all over the place.
Providing certificates or report cards after the program is a marathon effort.
It’s difficult to provide the schools or other bodies with any meaningful reporting because all the data is trapped on paper.
Despite the potential increased revenue of offering school-based lessons often the additional admin time and cost required makes them less profitable then they should.
Dozens of swim schools are discovering a better way to manage school-based lessons with SwimDesk schools management software.
SwimDesk schools have been specifically designed to help you save hours of administration time when managing school lessons as well as enhancing the customer experience.

Great, SwimDesk – Schools is an add-on module and can be quickly enabled for existing SwimDesk account holders if you wish to subscribe to the service. If you are an existing SwimDesk user, please ask about our introductory trial offer that will allow you to test out the school’s module before deciding if it’s right for you.
The SwimDesk – Schools is built specifically to cater to the needs of a facility offering swim lessons for school children. This module provides all the features needed to administer the cumbersome program very easily. It helps the centre save administration time several hours each week. The program also provides a management console to the school administration to manage the students and monitor the progress. The parent portal helps parents a detailed summary of their child’s learning progress. It will help any centre which would want to stand out from the competition and retain schools year after year.
There are 4 ways in which students can be enrolled and entered into the SwimDesk- Schools module.
1. Easy Student sign-up by the facility
2. The school can add each student via the school’s portal
3. You can bulk upload students via a simple excel spreadsheet
4. The school can provide parents with an online enrollment link where they can enroll their child.
The level assignment feature can be used to help reduce the time it takes to allocate students into the correct class.
The level assignment feature is a questionnaire that can be customised to your level criteria. Based on the answers to the questionnaire, the outcome will recommend a starting level for a student.
The questionnaire is generally completed by parents via the online assessment link and can be validated by a teacher when the child is assessed in the facility. The teacher can retain the child in the indicated level or change.
Yes, you can add levels and skills related to those levels via the system settings.
Students can be assigned into classes via the assign student feature. Once you have set up classes, you can assign students one by one or in bulk.
Typically, the recommended level assignment is used to help identify which class a student should be entered in.
Students can be easily moved from one class to another at any time.
The school portal is what each school receives with the GreeneDesk – Schools module.
The school’s portal allows schools to manage their enrollment numbers, print certificates and report cards in bulk.
Parents can receive achievement certificates as well as report cards. The report card shows which skills their child has successfully acquired as well as those that require further development.
The system can even provide a rating for the student’s current ability and how that relates to the average of their peers.
This extra level of feedback allows your centre to add value to your program and stand out from other providers.
There is a small monthly investment of $85 per month and a small per-student fee. This investment can easily be justified when considering the potential savings in admin
stration time, added value to your program and potential for increased customer retention.

Should we charge schools for this service?
It’s up to you!
You may wish to offer optional extras for a small fee to grow your schools based revenue stream.
For example, you may wish to give the option to schools of a parent report card for each student at the small added cost of 1 dollar or 50c per student on top of your normal fees. This provides you with an “up-sell” option that many schools may choose.
