Read full description

Soakly for Teachers gives your swim school's swimming teachers access to registers, skills tracking, calendars, medical data and emergency contact info. When you have a signal, there is a convenient swipe-left to cancel a lesson, which auto-messages all customers to let them know. As swimming teachers, we know how important it is to stay in touch with your admins and having up to the minute information. We know the pace you’re having to operate at and the many things you’re trying to juggle. We want to help you focus on the teaching part, so we’ve built you an app that’s your assistant. It’s fast to use, simple and informative. NB. This app is ONLY for teachers within swim schools who use Soakly as their administration software for bookings, payments, skills tracking, reports and general organisation of their customers, swimmers, venues and staff.
