Currently, the planning of coaching schedules, tracking of attendance and students' payments is mostly done manually on paper, which often results in inaccuracies and frustration. With no proper communication platform in place, instructors find it difficult to spreading awareness about their coaching availability and/or retain students.
Swim schools face difficulty in recruiting the right instructor with passion, attitude, character and knowledge to boost their reputation.

Project Description
- iSwim Sports School is a local company that aims to enhance the professionalism of the sports education industry. With its web/mobile platform iSwim, the company strives to target existing pain points faced by key stakeholders in the local swim scene, listed below:
- Parents
- Currently, it is not easy for parents to source for the ideal swimming instructor. The uneven coaching standards of the industry in general, as well as the unprofessionalism displayed by some instructors, make it difficult for parents to find the ideal instructor for their children.
- Instructors
- Swim Schools
- The key focus of SwimGoWhere is to bridge the communication gap among swim schools, swimming instructors and parents. The search features in SwimGoWhere make it convenient for parents to source for instructors according to their preferences. With our instructor’s rating system, parents are able make better and more informed decisions on their choice of instructor. By automating the payment process from user to instructor, instructors will no longer worry about late payment issues. With our scheduling system, instructors are able to include students within their coaching schedules on the go. They are also able to track their students’ attendance.
- The SwimGoWhere mobile web app also provides a notification system for users to notify users of important events. Lastly, our platform will capture user behavior to generate data analytics such as parents’ preferred location for the swimming classes and recommendations for the most popular time slots.
Motivation
- The motivation behind this project is to create value for the sponsor through the following ways
- • Provide a user-friendly interface for users to search and compare swimming instructors, and for instructors to schedule their lessons and track students’ attendance
- • Facilitate the commitment and coordination of parents and instructors by handling the payment services
- • Reduce the impersonation rate of unregistered instructors by encouraging them to upload their qualifications onto the portal
- • Provide analytical insights on user behavior and preferences when searching for a swimming instructor
