For independent swim instructors

Teaching adults to swim, with fixed times and paid up front.

Adults who want to learn to swim or improve their front crawl often look for a private lesson or a small group. With Gymies they book a fixed time with you and pay up front.

Sound familiar?

Pool time is scarce and costs money

You rent a lane or an hour in the pool. An empty spot in that hour is an immediate loss.

Adults want it calm and private

Adults learning to swim often don’t want a big group. Private lessons or a small group work better, but are hard to plan.

A series of ten lessons

You learn to swim in a series. You want that series agreed and paid up front, not lesson by lesson.

Early lessons, early cancellations

A 7am lesson gets cancelled more easily. Without rules you’re standing in the pool for nothing.

How Gymies handles it

Class packs

Sell a pack of, say, 10 sessions. The client pays up front and then books each session with the pack.

A pack of 10 lessons fits a swimming series: paid up front, booked per lesson.

Recurring sessions

Does a client come at the same time every week? Set it up once as a recurring session.

Same time, same pool every week: set it up once.

You open up the times

You set in your calendar when you teach. Clients only choose from those times, so no more back-and-forth messaging.

Paid when booked

A session is only confirmed once it’s paid (iDEAL, card or class pack). No more chasing anyone for money.

Fixed cancellation rules

The same rules apply to every trainer, and the client sees them before booking.

Group classes with a minimum

You choose a price per person and the minimum and maximum number of participants. Participants only pay once the minimum is reached; if the class doesn’t go ahead, nobody has paid.

For a small group of adults or a front crawl clinic. You decide how many people fit in the water.

Invoices and payouts sorted

Gymies creates the invoices for your clients on your behalf and pays you out every month on the first working day.

A profile you can share

You get your own profile page with your sports, rate, location and availability, plus a share link and QR code.

The cancellation rules your client sees up front

  • Within 15 minutes of booking: You cancel for free and get everything back.
  • Up to 24 hours before the session: You get the session amount back, or the session back on your class pack.
  • Within 24 hours of the session: You get nothing back.
  • If the trainer cancels: You always get everything back.

What Gymies doesn’t do

  • Gymies doesn’t arrange pool rental. You arrange the pool or lane yourself; on your profile you show where you teach.
  • Gymies is for clients aged 16 and over. Children’s swimming lessons and the Dutch A, B and C swimming diplomas don’t go through Gymies.
