The challenge
The aquatic center runs a high volume of lessons and wanted to simplify skill entry during class without slowing swim instructors down or adding more paper worksheets.
Real-world results
Aquatic teams saving time on pool deck.
Swimo was co-developed with aquatic centers. Here is how teams use the platform to simplify attendance, progress tracking and family communications.
Centre aquatique Desjardins de Granby
First aquatic center in Quebec to obtain LEED Gold certification, the Centre aquatique Desjardins de Granby brings together two indoor pools, a heated outdoor pool and facilities designed as much for training as for family activities. A flagship infrastructure that combines accessibility, innovation and environmental performance.
Our approach
Swimo was configured around the programs offered, the skills to assess and the active groups. Swim instructors work from interactive tablet worksheets with quick access to required skills and ready-to-reuse comments.
Benefits observed
In-lesson data entry becomes faster, individual and group progress is easier to see, and coordinators can review results before they are shared with families.
« The interface simplifies data entry during lessons and helps swim instructors track progress far more efficiently. »
Key takeaways
- Faster in-lesson data entry
- Clearer progress tracking
- Less paper handling
City of Longueuil
With 18 outdoor pools, 13 wading pools and 21 splash pads, in addition to diversified programming in its indoor pools, the City of Longueuil deploys a large-scale aquatic offering across its entire territory. Its teams make swimming, fitness and bathing accessible to a diverse population, summer and winter.
The challenge
The municipal team deals with frequent registration changes and had to reprint attendance sheets for every lesson, which slowed down operations on pool deck.
Our approach
Swimo was rolled out for digital attendance and up-to-date group lists. Registrations are synchronized or imported depending on the source, and the attendance interface is optimized for tablet use.
Benefits observed
Attendance becomes fast to record, registration changes are reflected automatically in the lists, and swim instructors no longer work from outdated printed sheets.
« Taking attendance has become fast, and registration changes are reflected without reprinting sheets. »
Key takeaways
- Fast attendance taking
- Always-current lists
- No more sheet reprints
Centre culturel et sportif Regina Assumpta
The Centre culturel et sportif Regina Assumpta welcomes approximately 1,200 swimmers of all ages and ability levels per session. Its team stands out for its expertise in teaching swimming and its commitment to accessible swimming. With support from the Enfants en tête initiative of the Fondation du Collège Regina Assumpta, the Centre also offers adapted lessons for people with special needs or disabilities.
The challenge
Paper booklets, sometimes forgotten or lost, limited access to results and made it harder to share them with absent swimmers. Collecting and digitizing assessments required extensive follow-up. An initial transition to electronic forms had reduced paper use, but configuring them remained cumbersome on a non-specialized platform.
Our approach
Since spring 2024, the Centre has used Planitou’s aquatic solution, from which Swimo originated, to centralize assessments. Around fifty swim instructors complete worksheets and reports to document swimmers’ learning and progress. Managers and supervisors consult results and check report quality before sending them.
Benefits observed
The history makes it possible to quickly confirm a swimmer’s acquired skills and next level at registration. The team can monitor report quality and verify that reports have been sent. Digital booklets also reduce paper consumption while preserving a flexible working method for swim instructors.
« Digitizing reports greatly facilitates the registration process and the verification of each swimmer’s acquired skills. »
Key takeaways
- Easily accessible results history
- Better oversight of report quality
- Reduced paper consumption
