For swim schools
ShowUp, for swim schools.
On the pool deck there’s no time for a clipboard and a spreadsheet. ShowUp lets a coach mark the whole squad in a tap and bills families by the lessons actually swum — so a closed pool or a missed week never becomes an awkward fee conversation at the gate.

Weather happens
A closed pool never bills a family.
Lightning, a closed pool, a sick coach — swim schools lose sessions to things nobody controls. A missed lesson simply does not fill a bead, so the cycle waits instead of burning a paid lesson. Book the make-up when the water is back and it counts toward the same cycle, at the same price.
Make-up lessons send the family a reminder about three hours before they start, in the centre’s own timezone, and never twice.
Sound familiar?
The month-end headache.
- “Lessons cancelled for weather or pool maintenance, then a parent expecting a refund.”
- “Tracking swimmers across squads and levels while standing on a wet poolside.”
- “Explaining, yet again, why this month’s fee is different from last month’s.”
Every class counts
How a month becomes a fee.
Every attended class fills a bead. When the last one lands it turns gold and the fee falls due — and the family saw every step get there.
-
A cycle opens
Each student gets a prepaid cycle: a set number of classes to attend. It starts at zero and waits.
New cycle -
Attendance in a tap
You mark who showed up. Every present class fills one bead. The meter ticks up, class by class.
3 of 8 -
An absence never burns a class
Mark an absence and the meter holds. A missed class is not a paid class: the cycle simply waits for the next one.
Still 5 of 8 -
The cycle completes
When the last class is attended, the beads turn to gold. The chapter is done. Only now does a fee fall due.
Chapter complete -
The family is told, in plain words
The family gets a simple message: the cycle is finished and the fee is due. No surprises.
Fee due -
Paid, and the next cycle begins
The owner marks the fee received, and a fresh cycle opens automatically. The rhythm continues.
Paid · next cycle
Questions
Swim schools: the questions we’re asked.
Can coaches mark attendance from the poolside on a phone?
Yes — that’s the whole point. A coach opens their squad, taps each swimmer present or away, and that’s the job done. No payments or other squads clutter the view.
What happens when a lesson is cancelled for weather?
A class that didn’t happen never fills a bead, so it’s never billed. Families only pay for lessons actually swum — which removes the most common refund argument outright.
Does it handle different squads and levels?
Yes. Stroke groups, levels and squads are just groups in ShowUp — your words, with attendance and fees tracked per swimmer.
Not quite your world?
ShowUp speaks these too.
