Why use one registration flow
A structured form gives your team the age, ability, schedule, contact, and policy responses behind every enrollment.
Ask about face-in-water comfort, floating, and distance swum, then route answers by level.
Keep guardian contacts with separate child profiles, skills, goals, and class choices.
Tag submissions by site, session, and level to build rosters and review waitlists.
Built around your program
Start with the closest program type, then add your levels, dates, prices, and policies.
Level and time-slot selection for weekly sessions, with returning-swimmer questions and a waitlist path.
Goal, instructor, location, and availability fields for matching a swimmer with an individual lesson.
Age-specific questions, adult participation, pool rules, and support details for early-water classes.
Week selection, sibling profiles, discount codes, policy choices, and payment details for short programs.
Registration workflow
Adjust placement questions, publish the link, and route responses to your team.
List locations, age bands, skill levels, session times, prices, and the information you need before placing a swimmer.
Show returning-swimmer questions only when relevant, reveal sibling fields on request, and keep each policy choice separate.
Share the form on your swim school's website, email it to families, or use a QR code at the pool desk.
Send notifications and organize submissions by lesson site, session, age group, level, and waitlist status.
Form vs paper vs generic signup
Keep each swimmer's class choice connected to the details staff use to review it.
Field guide
Use these six sections as a practical checklist. Keep questions focused on enrollment, class placement, communication, and your program's own policies.
Family contact
Identify the adult who receives confirmations, schedule changes, and payment follow-up. Keep their information separate from the swimmer profile.
Swimmer profile
For siblings, repeat a structured profile instead of combining several children in one paragraph.
Ability questions
Use program-specific questions to compare answers with your level definitions instead of relying on a vague label.
Session selection
Use dropdowns for site, level, day, and time. Include a second choice and waitlist preference.
Emergency and support
Collect an emergency contact and relevant accessibility, communication, or support requests your team uses.
Policies and payment
Show current prices and your policies. Use separate acknowledgments, then collect the chosen payment method details.
