Better lesson placement
Combine schedule choices, observable skills, household contacts, and pool-specific questions in one reviewable enrollment.
Ask whether the child can submerge, float, kick, or swim a distance instead of relying only on level names from another program.
Keep guardian contacts, emergency contacts, authorized pickup adults, and sibling scheduling notes connected to the swimmer.
Route new swimmers and uncertain levels for staff review, while preserving each family's preferred and alternate session choices.
Fits your program
Choose fields for group, preschool, private, or seasonal programs, then replace example levels and session times with your own.
Collect skill indicators, preferred level, and alternate times for placement into age-appropriate groups.
Confirm the participating adult, age on the start date, and the child's comfort around water.
Capture goals and broad availability before matching a swimmer with an instructor and lane time.
Organize resident details, sibling enrollments, session preferences, and placement follow-up in one intake.
Build the enrollment flow
Generate the registration, then tune level questions and choices for your staff.
Name your age bands, class levels, dates, locations, and the information staff uses to place a swimmer.
Add your actual class times, skill descriptions, alternate-session options, policies, and contact information.
Ask preschool families about an in-water adult, private students about goals, and new swimmers for detailed skill information.
Send responses to the right staff member, flag uncertain levels, and follow up with the confirmed class details.
Form vs generic signup
A name-and-email signup creates another round of questions. A tailored registration captures the schedule, skill, and family details needed for review.
Field guide
Use these six sections to collect the details needed for communication, class selection, placement review, and a smoother first lesson.
Swimmer profile
Collect the swimmer's preferred name and birth date for age-band review without repeating household information.
Skills & placement
Combine previous level with plain skill checkboxes and an unsure option for easier review across programs.
Class selection
Use structured level, location, date, and time choices, plus an alternate when the preferred class is unavailable.
Guardian contacts
Separate guardian and emergency contacts, then add communication preferences and pickup names when needed.
Support information
Ask what supports communication, access, comfort, or participation, and let families explain in their own words.
Policies & acknowledgment
Show practical program rules clearly and collect acknowledgment that the guardian reviewed your wording.

Include swimmer and guardian details, emergency contact, prior experience, observable water skills, requested level, two session choices, support requests, pickup information, and acknowledgment of program rules.
Ask for the previous level and plain skills such as entering water, submerging, floating, kicking, recovering to standing, and swimming a stated distance. Offer not sure for placement review.
Yes. Offer preferred and alternate classes labeled with level, location, weekday, time, and dates. If staff checks capacity separately, say they will confirm final placement.
Yes. Collect household details once, then repeat swimmer, skill, and class fields for each child. Add a note for overlapping or back-to-back lesson requests.
Use an optional field asking what supports participation, communication, access, or comfort. Let families request a conversation with program staff without requiring a diagnosis.
Only when your availability process reserves the place. Otherwise, call it a request, collect an alternate, and say staff will review age, level, and capacity before confirmation.
Yes. Makeform is unlimited free for creating, publishing, and collecting responses. The optional paid tier only removes the Makeform badge.
Send a receipt and route the response to placement staff. Review uncertain levels, alternates, support requests, and sibling notes, then send confirmed class and arrival details.
Make every enrollment easier to place.
