Swimming coaches
Lane time at a pool is expensive and fixed. A swimming lesson that no-shows or cancels last-minute costs you the lane hire, your time, and a session you can't recover. Nextro takes payment upfront and sends preparation reminders — so your coaching slots are always filled by committed swimmers.
3-day free trial. No setup fee.
The problems you're solving
Lane hire is a fixed cost whether the swimmer shows up or not
A private lane at a leisure centre or club pool costs £15 to £25 for 45 minutes regardless of attendance. A swimmer who no-shows passes that cost entirely to the coach.
Adult beginner programmes need committed enrollment to function
Teaching an adult to swim from scratch is a 6 to 8-week journey requiring consistent attendance for skill consolidation. Without pre-enrollment and upfront payment, adults drop out after 2 or 3 sessions.
Pool access varies by time slot — scheduling is constrained
Lane access may only be available from 6–7am, 12–1pm, or 7–8pm depending on the facility. Your coaching availability is determined by when you have lane access. Clients need to see this accurately.
Open water coaching sessions require additional preparation
An open water technique session for a triathlete or endurance swimmer requires safety briefing, appropriate wetsuit guidance, and location coordination. None of this should happen verbally at the water's edge.
