Under The Hood

The machinery you never have to think about.

Booking engine

Real availability, computed live.

Standing bookings, venue capacity, teacher capacity, closures, and checkout holds all feed one capacity engine. If a slot shows as free, it is free - no double bookings, no phone calls to fix them.

Temporary holds protect a space during checkout and release automatically if a parent wanders off.

Developing

Go on - tap the dots. This is exactly what teachers do poolside.

Progress tracking

Five stages, not a checkbox.

Swimming isn't done or not done. Every skill rates from Tried to Mastered, so parents see momentum every single week - even the weeks nothing gets "completed".

When a stage completes, the certificate generates itself and the parent hears about it before they've left the car park.

Email engine

Forty kinds of email you'll never write again.

Confirmations, receipts, reminders, reports, win-backs, digests - the whole lifecycle sends itself at the right moment, with deliverability monitored so you know it landed.

Splashy the octopus
Hi! I'm Splashy. Ask me anything about your school's setup - or your parents can ask me about theirs.
AI, where it earns its keep

Splashy does the fiddly bits.

AI maps your messy CSV columns on import, recommends a starting level for new swimmers, and writes SEN teaching briefings that surface in Poolside Mode. Parents and guests get a chat assistant that actually knows your school.

Try it for two weeks. Decide for yourself.

No card required. No sales call. First booking in five minutes.
