Swim school management software in Malaysia | parents, kids, and lesson packs on Timeo
How Malaysian swim schools run on Timeo: parents book children as dependants, level-based classes, lesson packs that count themselves, and waitlists.
Swim schools have the hardest booking problem in fitness: the customer paying is almost never the person in the pool. Parents hold the packages, kids attend the lessons, and Saturday morning has six levels running in parallel. Here is how Malaysian swim schools structure that on Timeo.
The parent books, the child attends
A parent’s Timeo account can hold dependants. Mum signs up once, adds both kids, buys each of them a lesson pack, and books each child into the right class from one phone. The class roster shows the child’s name, the session burns from the child’s own pack, and the reminder goes to the parent who actually reads WhatsApp.
Levels as recurring classes
Set each level (Beginner 1, Stroke Development, Squad) up as a weekly class template with its own capacity and coach. Timeo generates the term’s sessions automatically, and when you move Beginner 1 from 9am to 9.30am, every future session and every member-facing surface follows.
Lesson packs that survive real life
- Sessions burn on reservationand are refunded automatically when your staff cancels a lesson, so a thunderstorm does not eat anyone’s credit.
- Expiry dates are enforced without you keeping a book of who bought what in March.
- Renewals queue: a pack bought before the old one finishes starts when the old one ends.
Make-up classes without the argument
A cancelled spot goes back to the pack, and the parent rebooks any session of the same class with spots remaining, from the app, within the cancellation window you set. The waitlist auto-fills full sessions, so popular Saturday slots stay full even when someone drops out on Friday night.
Payments parents do not have to chase you to make
Packs are paid online with FPX, DuitNow QR, card, or e-wallet, and every payment reconciles against the child, the pack, and the class in your reports. Walk-in trial lessons ring up at the front desk POS in seconds.
