If you want to spend more time in the pool and less time in the office managing your club, Swim Club Management Software may be for you. That’s because it automates many of the administrative tasks at a swimming club, running them like machine in the background while you focus on what’s important — your members (and maybe your breaststroke!).

If you’re wondering whether this type of software can make an impact at your organization, you’ve come to the right place, because in this article, I cover:

What is Swim Club Management Software?

Swim Club Management Software is an all-in-one management tool to help you eliminate and streamline administrative tasks from your workload to save you time and money. It’s usually comprised of a website builder, online contact database, online member directory, communications system, booking system, finance & payment system, event platform, and more.

Most Swim Club Management Software solutions include functionalities like:

Website: create and update your swim club’s website with little-to-no tech experience.
Events: easily create and promote lessons, events, and rentals, with online registration, attendance tracking, and payment processing.
Payments: automate membership renewals, registrations and payments.
Database: maintain detailed member, coach, parent, admin records in an easy-to-search and filter online database.
Emails: send professional newsletter and email communications to your members, coaches, parents, and team administrators.
Member Login: allow members to login to your website to access exclusive resources.

These are all basic functionalities of a larger grouping of software called membership management software — a solution designed to eliminate and automate as many of the administrative tasks of membership organizations as possible.

The #1 Software over 50 Swim Clubs Use

WildApricot is the #1 rated membership management software used by over 50 Swim Clubs. You can try a free, 60-day trial of WildApricot and have your Swim Club set up with a professional-looking website with online event and lesson registration in just an afternoon.

“I setup my swim club with a website and member database built with WildApricot. It’s a wonderful, powerful tool—especially for those with a little knowledge. I’d highly recommend WildApricot to other swim clubs.”

– Susan Oppelt, Rancho Colorados Swim and Tennis Club

How WildApricot’s Automated Features Save You Time and Money

Imagine you had an army of robots to do all the grunt work for your swim club. They’d update your website, register new members, file their info into a database, collect and process payments, schedule lessons and classes, and send automated invoices, receipts, and email reminders. With an army of robots doing all the work, you could spend your time growing your club and offering more value to your members (and swimming of course!).

That’s exactly what WildApricot does for you — it acts like an army of robots to automate all your admin work. Many swim club managers report saving up to 20 hours a week by letting WildApricot handle the grunt work for them.

Here are some of WildApricot’s features you’ll have instant access to once you start your free trial:
