Teacher-only system
Large swim schools use systems managed exclusively by the swimming teacher. As a parent, you can only look on, but you cannot use the tool yourself.

The Problem
What do you practice in summer?
Want to go swimming with your child during the holidays? Without a targeted practice plan you don’t know what to do, and tracking progress is impossible.
Score is frozen, you see improvement
The swim school app only updates scores after an official lesson. But you’ve seen your child improve for weeks — recorded nowhere.
Smaller schools: no tracking at all
Many smaller swimming pools and private swimming teachers work without any system. As a parent, you have no grip on progress whatsoever.
✅
The Solution
Progress always in your hands
Track every exercise yourself in the app with a 0–6 smiley icon system per exercise. No dependency on the school — you’re in control.
Purposeful practice, even in summer
Know exactly what your child needs to practice for the next level. Perfect for weekly sessions during the holidays.
Free service for any swim school
Swimming teachers can easily update scores per exercise — a free extra service they can offer to parents. Costs the school nothing.
