Pool Season, Perfected: Dive Into Simplier Scheduling
April 2026
Turn busy pool days into smooth operations that keep summer flowing.
"Is the pool open today?" It's one of the most common calls club staff receive all summer, and it's one that doesn't need to happen. For clubs already using ForeTees to manage golf, dining, and courts, the same platform can bring that same level of communication and control to your aquatics department.
This month, we're taking a closer look at how clubs are using ForeTees to elevate the pool experience for members and staff alike. See how aquatics reservations help clubs reduce calls, manage capacity, and keep members happy all summer long.
A Dedicated Hub for Pool Communication
What is one simple thing you can do today even without a dedicated aquatics reservation system? Give members a single, reliable place to check pool status.
Many clubs add a dedicated tile in the ClubCentral app during pool season. One tap and members instantly know if the pool is open, closing for maintenance, or reserved for a private event. It's a small change that makes a big difference: fewer calls to the front desk, and members feel like they're in the know. Sub-tiles allow access to information regarding any activity the pool offers.
App tiles can link to:
✔
Club Website Pages or PDFs
✔
ForeTees Reservation or App Pages
✔
Third-Party Websites or Apps
For more urgent and effective communication:
Push Notifications are an easy way to let members know when the pool re-opens, when it is reaching capacity, or when an upcoming event registration becomes available. Staff can send these notifications swiftly from their own device through the ForeTees Staff App.
Reservations for All Pool Activities
Whether your club offers lap swim sessions, classes and events, or premium poolside seating, ForeTees can manage it. With the FT Staff App, pool staff are able to view and manage reservations from any device, eliminating the need for any computer hookups onsite at the pool.
Peace of mind for members. Less scrambling for staff.
Reservations for Lanes, Cabanas and More
Swim lane reservations let members book specific lanes at specific times, which is great for structured lap swimming programs. For clubs with cabanas or poolside tables, members can reserve their spot ahead of time instead of showing up and hoping for the best.
Pool Events with Built-In Waitlists
From Fourth of July celebrations to water aerobic classes, pool events fill up fast. ForeTees event sign-up includes a waitlist function, so when spots open up, members are automatically notified rather than frustrated. It keeps your events full and your inbox manageable.
Swim Team: One Place for Everything
Swim teams generate a lot of activity. Tryout sign-ups, event registration, results, forms, and parent communication. ForeTees brings all of that into one organized system, so your aquatics director isn't bouncing between email threads, spreadsheets, and signage to keep families informed.
Swim Lessons, Simplified
Managing swim lesson schedules doesn't have to mean back-and-forth phone calls and sticky notes. With ForeTees, instructors set their own availability, and members can book directly online. Lessons appear cleanly on members' calendars, and instructors can manage their schedules right from the mobile-friendly FT Staff App.
Automated blockers prevent any lane reservations from being made over a swim lesson and will appear as unavailable to other members, avoiding mixups and miscommunication.
