Zwemlesmaatje

Zwemlesmaatje gives you control over swimming lessons – completely independent of expensive systems or closed swimming schools.

Whether you are a parent, an adult who wants to learn to swim, or an instructor/swimming school: you simply track progress, collaborate, and celebrate milestones. No printed booklets, vague stories, or surprise costs.

What’s new? We’ve made great strides to make Zwemlesmaatje even more useful – especially for swim instructors and swimming schools. The app now feels better with clear colours and simple swipe gestures. Everything works smoothly and instantly.

For swim instructors and swimming schools (free):

Marketing toolkit – look professional without any investment.

Report and cancel absences – by both parent and instructor, always clear.

Overview of all instructors and groups – when linked to a swimming school.

Book catch‑up lessons & move students – with a complete logbook.

Transfer students to other groups – quickly and clearly.

Change group instructor – flexible scheduling.

Multiple swimming schools for one instructor – easily choose which school is active.

Multiple instructors per swimming school – take over groups, modify, cancel absences, and easily book catch‑up lessons.

Better overviews and statistics – always see what’s happening.

Thanks to these new features, managing lessons, groups, and absences has become much easier.

For parents

Multiple children – each child gets their own profile, progress, and diplomas.

Always clear – 7 levels, 86 skills, clear overview.

Child‑friendly animations – difficult exercises are explained visually, so you can practice effectively at home.

Contact with other parents – easily connect with other users from the same swimming school.

Handy standard questions – send a message with pre‑written questions to the swim instructor with one tap.

Cost overview – keep track of what you have paid and what is still due.

Personal diplomas – certificates with your child’s name and photo.

Collaborate with instructors – easily invite them via a link; free for instructors.

Unique: parents can adjust scores themselves – for example during the holiday period, you as a parent can update the progress in the same system the instructor uses. This keeps the swimming record complete, even when there is no lesson.

For adults

Independently or with an instructor – learn at your own pace, without group pressure.

Structured swimming method – developed in the Netherlands, used in several countries.

Hybrid learning – practise on your own and receive feedback from an instructor whenever you want.

Unique features

Lifelong swimming record – all progress is stored permanently.

Personal certificates and diplomas – tangible milestones with photo, date, and skills.

Cost transparency – no surprises.

Automatic notifications for every change – both parents and instructors receive an immediate notification whenever something is adjusted (score, absence, group change, catch‑up lesson, etc.). Fully automated, always up to date.

Notes per exercise – the instructor gives targeted tips for home.
