So sit back, look back, then start planning ahead–because we’re bringing you 5 reasons why Captyn is the answer to achieving your New Year’s resolutions. Click the links below for a deeper dive into any of our solutions.
1. Streamlined operations
Collaboration, communication, and organization: what running a swim camp can teach you
“When it comes to daily operations, Captyn massively reduces strain by streamlining tasks like check-in, roster management, payment tracking, and more. On average, some users save 40 hours per week of staff time! By removing the stress and time-commitment of the more menial tasks, you’ll have more time to bond with your swimmers and help them succeed.”
2. Progress tracking
Swim coaches: how to utilize video analysis to fast-forward your athletes’ achievements
“For the sake of your organization and for your swimmers’ self-confidence, it pays to keep a library of your swimmers’ video sessions over time. Even better, you can track their improvement in the Captyn management platform. Collect any relevant information, including times, waivers, individual notes about their strengths and weaknesses, and more. Having their improvement made tangible can not only motivate your athletes to keep dedicating themselves to their sport but also measure the impact of your coaching. It’s incredibly satisfying for both you and your athletes to see how far they’ve come.”
3. Enhanced communication
Collaboration, communication, and organization: what running a swim camp can teach you
“With our platform, you can customize all automatic email communications. Use this feature to send your agenda ahead of time or even offer supplementary workouts or exercises for swimmers to practice at home. With free text and email service for bulk lists as well as individuals, Captyn can easily be the tool that keeps your instructions clear and comprehensive.”
Happy parents, happy campers: how to keep parents satisfied with your camp community
“Good communication can start even before signup. The registration process can say a lot about how your organization is run, so why not keep it as user-friendly for parents as your activities are for kids? After all, this is where having the best tools pays off–literally. Captyn’s centralized online registration system makes signing up for swim a breeze. Parents can quickly and easily register their child, and provide important health information. This feature streamlines the registration process and saves parents time, reducing the likelihood of frustration.”
4. Financial management

“You can use Captyn to set up automatic recurring credits or even scholarships to your participants. Gestures like these can help to build long-term relationships with your customers, so you’ll see a boost in your overall sales.”
5 things to think of before you run a successful camp–of any kind!
“Stay organized! Whether your operation is small or large, be consistent in your registration regimen, diligently tracking enrollment and revenue from the very first customer. The right platform can be the assistant coach of your dreams. Fortunately, Captyn excels at helping you take attendance and move your customers from one program to another in just two clicks. There’s also custom reporting with billing categories for all your financials, so nothing slips through the cracks. It even features scheduled recurring payments (or even just payment reminders) to take all this off your mind. The more you can outsource organization electronically, the more you can focus on giving your swim clientele the best experience possible.”
5. Marketing and promotion
The 3 unmissable reasons why branding is crucial for personal trainers and coaches
“Using Captyn can help immensely by letting you add your logo and colors to your Captyn pages. At a glance, anything associated with you can be unmistakable, and the same platform that clients are using to pay or check in is distinctively your own. And while that may seem obvious, there are differences between a brand identity and a well-defined brand identity. Take your time workshopping your mission statement until it’s perfectly representative, then let your logo and color scheme build out from it in ways that feel authentic. When the words you use match the feel of your unique visuals, your overall brand is made stronger.
Don’t forget these elements can literally be side-by-side on your communications on Captyn too! Ultimately, this type of consistency is a key factor in establishing trust with potential or existing clients. Once you’ve built that, your impact, customer loyalty, and profits will certainly be consistent too.”
