## What is OnDeck?

OnDeck brings your entire aquatics operation into one place — chemical logging, MAHC compliance, staff certifications, incident reports, and lifeguard evaluations — built for the people on the pool deck, not a back office.

No paper. No lost logs. No shared logins. Every chemical reading, every incident report, every checklist is digital, searchable, and tied to a verified staff member — so when an inspector asks who did what and when, you have the answer.

WHY AQUATICS TEAMS RUN ON ONDECK

Digital chemical logs
Replace the clipboard. Record chlorine, pH, alkalinity, temperature and more with timestamp-verified entries, a built-in dosing calculator, and instant alerts when a reading falls out of range — so you act before it becomes a safety or compliance problem.

Built for compliance
Designed around real health-department and Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC) requirements, including monthly controller interlock testing. Exportable logs and audit trails are formatted for inspections, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Every entry has an owner
Staff identity is verified on every submission — on a personal iPhone or a shared pool-deck iPad. No anonymous entries, no shared credentials. Directors can trace any record back to the person, device, and time it was created.

Certifications that don't lapse
Track lifeguard, CPR, and first-aid certifications with expiration tracking, so you know who's current and who's coming due before it's a staffing problem.

Incidents, evaluations, and zones
Log incident reports, run lifeguard skill evaluations with a built-in stopwatch, and manage zone coverage — all from your phone or iPad.

Director-ready reporting
A real-time view of facility activity, out-of-range alerts, and one-tap exports formatted for health-department inspections.

BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD
A native, adaptive interface: a focused stack on iPhone, a sidebar-and-detail layout on iPad. Sign in once with a secure magic link and unlock with Face ID or Touch ID. Keep working when the signal drops — entries queue offline and sync automatically when you reconnect.

SECURITY FIRST
No passwords to share or forget — sign in with a single-use magic link. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Role-based access means directors see everything and staff see only their own work.

Built for the teams that run pools — YMCAs, parks & recreation departments, waterparks, swim schools, camps, and university aquatics.

OnDeck is a multi-tenant platform for aquatics facilities. Your records belong to your organization. An OnDeck account, provided by your facility, is required to sign in.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-20

Certifications that come to you

• A new Lock Screen widget shows which certifications are expiring soon —
  without opening the app.
• Adding a certification is now as simple as dropping in the certificate PDF.
  Red Cross certificates fill in the cert number, issuer, and expiration date
  for you. It happens entirely on your device — the PDF isn't sent anywhere to
  do it.
• Certificates stay attached to the record, and open right in the app.

Emergency Action Plans

Build your EAP from structured templates, collect staff sign-off, and export a
PDF for inspections. Available once your organization turns the module on.

Pool fills on your Lock Screen

Start a fill and track it from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so a running
hose is never out of sight.

Recognition and service anniversaries

See your lanyard — name tag, whistle, and beads — and track milestones with
"Years of Service" beads as your team hits them.

Pick up where you left off

Long forms now save as you go. Start a training log on your phone and finish it
on the iPad.

Also in this release

• Fixed a problem where a sign-in link could fail to sign you in.
• Fixed an issue where switching accounts on a shared device could briefly show
  the previous account's data.
• Sending a staff member their login is now a button on their profile, with a
  shareable link and bulk invites.
• When a policy changes, staff are asked to re-acknowledge it, so your sign-off
  records always match the version people actually read.
• First and last names are now recorded separately, so names appear correctly
  on lanyards and rosters.
• Fixed duplicate staff records created by roster imports and invitations.
• Settings are now split into personal and organization sections.
