🏊 For swim instructors

Swim lesson scheduling, built for instructors who travel pool to pool.

Manage every student, schedule recurring weekly lessons across multiple pools, and let 24-hour reminders go out on their own. Parents pay you with a single tap on a Venmo or Zelle link. $14/month. No paperwork.

14 days free. No credit card. 5-minute setup. Built by the partner of a coach with 30+ students.

Why generic apps don't fit

Your swim lesson business doesn't run like a corporate office.

You're poolside, in the car, on a deck chair, in someone's backyard. You're juggling 30 students with different parent contacts, different recurring schedules, and a swimsuit that's still wet from the last lesson.

Calendar apps don't track parents

Google Calendar lets you book "Sophie M." but doesn't store her mom's cell, her allergy notes, or which pool you're meeting at this week.

Texting reminders eats your evenings

Manually messaging tomorrow's parents at 9 PM is the kind of unpaid admin that quietly steals hours every week.

"I'll Venmo you" turns into "I forgot"

Without a pay link in the reminder, you spend Sundays chasing $40 here and $60 there. A single tap fixes it.

Built for swim instructors

Everything you need at the pool. Nothing you don't.

🏊

Track every swim student

Store each student with contact name, email, phone, and address, plus a free-text notes field for skill level, allergies, or anything else you want to remember. One tap dials the contact.

🔁

Recurring weekly lessons

Set up "Sophie, every Saturday at 9 AM, 8 weeks" once. The whole season appears instantly. Cancel any single week without breaking the rest.

📩

Automatic 24-hour reminders

Email confirmation when you book. 24-hour reminder the day before. No more midnight texting parents.

🚗

Drive-time alerts between pools

Real drive-times between back-to-back lessons at different addresses. Get a "tight!" warning before you commit to a conflict.

💸

Venmo & Zelle pay links

Confirmation and reminder emails carry a pay link with the lesson amount pre-filled. Parents tap, the Venmo or Zelle app opens. No more chasing.

📱

Phone-first, pool deck friendly

Built mobile-first. Add to your home screen on iPhone or Android. Works fine on a wet phone with one thumb. Install instructions →

Why it exists

Built around a real coach with 30+ students.

"Skeditor started with a small business owner running everything out of a paper notebook and a Google Calendar. Cancellations meant hand-rewriting half a page. Payments were “I’ll get you next time.” We built an app that fits how she actually worked, and when others in the same line of work started asking if they could use it too, skeditor became a product."

Whether you teach in backyards or at the local Y.

skeditor works for any solo swim instructor or two-person swim coaching team. The shape of your week doesn't matter — the tool adapts.

Swim instructor FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is skeditor good for private swim instructors who travel between pools?

Yes — that's exactly who skeditor is built for. You can store multiple pool addresses per student, see drive-times between back-to-back lessons, and get a "tight!" warning before you commit to a conflict.

Can I send reminders to parents instead of the student?

Yes. Each student record has one email and one phone field for the primary contact — for K-12 swim students, that's normally the parent. Confirmation and 24-hour reminders go to whichever email you put in the contact field.

Does it support recurring weekly swim lessons?

Yes. You can set up daily, weekly, or every-N-days recurrences. Eight weeks of swim lessons appear instantly. You can edit or cancel any single lesson without affecting the rest of the series — useful when a kid gets sick or the pool's closed.

How do parents pay me?

skeditor generates Venmo and Zelle deep links automatically attached to confirmation and reminder emails. Parents tap the link, the Venmo or Zelle app opens with the amount and your handle pre-filled. Money goes to you directly — nothing flows through skeditor.

What about cancellations and pool closures?

Tap a lesson, mark it cancelled. The customer gets nothing — no awkward "this is cancelled" reminder. To rebook, just pick a new time. To cancel a recurring lesson for one week only, you can edit just that one without breaking the rest of the series.

Can I track skill progression for each student?

Each student has a free-text notes field that you can use for skill progression, allergy info, or anything else you want to remember. We're working on a more structured skills-tracker; tell us what you'd want.

Can I use it from the pool deck on my phone?

Yes. skeditor is a Progressive Web App designed phone-first. Add it to your home screen on iPhone or Android and it launches like a native app — no App Store needed. Works fine on a wet phone with one thumb.

What if my swim school has more than one instructor?

Right now skeditor is one-instructor-per-account, so a two-coach team would need two accounts. Multi-user accounts are on the roadmap — if you need them today, write to us and we'll see what we can do.

Is there a contract?

No. Month-to-month, $14/month, cancel anytime with one click from the billing page. We don't ask why.

What happens to my student data if I cancel?

Your data stays in your account for 90 days after cancellation in case you change your mind. You can also export a copy at any time from Settings. We never sell your or your students' data — full stop.
