Why swim schools are switching from SwimBiz

SwimBiz served the industry well, but swim schools today need more. ClassBase was built from scratch to solve the problems SwimBiz doesn't.

No private hire support

SwimBiz manages lessons only. If you hire your pool out, you need a separate system.

Outdated interface

Parents expect a modern experience. SwimBiz's interface hasn't kept up.

No skill tracking

No built-in Swim England stage progression. Teachers still rely on paper or spreadsheets.
