Show families what happens on the other side of the glass

Between fogged windows and a loud deck, parents miss the moment their child lets go of the wall. ClassDojo gives your swim school one free place to share level moves, photos, and schedule changes.

“It's really important that we're able to directly communicate in a way that aligns with our mission and vision with our families — and ClassDojo allows us to do that instantly.”

The other side of the glass

Parents watch from the bleachers and still miss it. With ClassDojo, your instructors send the photo of a first unassisted glide, the news that a child moved up to Guppies, and the make-up class time, all in one app families already check.

Emre's been a great helper! He even stayed after today to help clean up.

Love that!

Everything your swim school needs to keep families close

Photos parents can't get through the glass

Share the first unassisted glide, the back float, the jump off the side, so families see the moment even from the bleachers. Up to 20 photos or 8 minutes of video in a single post.

Level moves and make-ups, in one thread

Tell families their child moved up, offer a make-up time, or pass along a water safety reminder in seconds, with automatic translation into 190+ languages.

Families are already here

Millions of parents already use ClassDojo with their child's school, so most of your families already have the app. Connecting them to your swim school takes minutes, with no accounts to chase.

Make-up classes and events, organized

Create make-up classes, testing days, and family swim nights with sign-up slots, automatic reminders, and Google Calendar sync.

Attendance in one tap

Check swimmers in right on the deck, with built-in reporting when you need to know who was in the water.

Simple for every instructor

New and seasonal instructors get started in minutes, without extra training or IT help.

Every instructor, free

Unlimited free staff accounts, with roles and permissions you control, plus staff messaging so the deck and the front desk stay in step.

Top of the class for privacy

We put privacy and trust first. We never share students’ information with advertisers, and we use the latest and best security practices to keep you safe at all times.

Download the app

Free for your instructors and your families. Share updates in seconds, schedule messages ahead of time, and get read receipts so you know they've been seen.

Frequently asked questions

Is ClassDojo free for our swim school?
Yes. ClassDojo is free for your swim school, your instructors, and your families. ClassDojo offers optional services directly to families, like ClassDojo Plus and Dojo Tutor, and that's what keeps it free for everyone else. We never sell personal information, and we never share it with advertisers.

Which age groups does ClassDojo work for?
Swim schools use ClassDojo with every age they teach, from parent-and-tot lessons through teens. Instructors choose what each group's families see, so the experience fits the swimmers in the water.

How do our staff get set up?
Each staff member creates an account and sets up their group in a few minutes — no IT project, no training day.

How do families join?
Staff share an invite link or code, and families connect from the free app on their phone. Many families already use ClassDojo with their child's school, so there's often nothing new to download at all.

How is our program's data protected?
Your program's information belongs to your program. ClassDojo is COPPA-compliant, never sells personal information, and never shares it with advertisers.

Our families already use ClassDojo at school. Do they need anything new?
No. They connect to your swim school from the same free app they already have, so your updates land right alongside their school's. Nothing new to download, and no second password to remember.

We're a business, not a school. What's the catch?
There isn't one. ClassDojo is free for your swim school, your staff, and your families, whether you're a nonprofit or a for-profit business. Optional services families can choose for themselves, like ClassDojo Plus and Dojo Tutor, are what fund it. We never sell personal information, and we never share it with advertisers.
