How to create a Survey for Swim Lessons

Add questions to your swim school survey

Use over 80 different question types to customize your survey:

Multiple Choice & Text Entry: Collect a mix of numeric data and descriptive feedback about lessons, instructors and your facilities.
Star Rating & Radio Button Grid: Get simple, interpretable feedback on overall satisfaction.
Add questions to your swim school survey

📌 Pro Tip: For our kids’s programs, we figured out that shorter surveys work best. More parents responded, and we still gained valuable insights. Simply include more open-ended questions for those who wished to share more details.

Sharing Survey with parents

After creating your swim school survey, spreading the word is key.

Activity Messenger creates a unique link for each survey, making it easy to share on social media and your website. You can even print a QR code to hand near your front desk!

Sharing Your Swim School Survey:

  • Social Media and QR Codes: Use social media and online platforms, and place a QR code at the reception
  • Email and SMS Integration: Send the survey link through email or text to your swim school families.

Sharing Survey with parents

 

📌 Pro Tip: In my experience with several swim schools, distributing surveys via social media, email/SMS and QR codes at the front desk increases response rates. More feedback means better data to help you make smarter decisions as a swim school owner.

Automate surveys at the end of a session

Send automated SMS/email class lists the day after a swim class, event, or swim meet end. Add your survey link to these messages to collect feedback effortlessly.

Making survey collection more efficient with automation:

  • Prompt Sending: Surveys are sent right when they matter most (after a class or event), encouraging quick responses.
  • Efficient Processes: Use automation to save time and standardize feedback collection making the data even more accurate

Automate surveys at the end of a session

Analyzing the data

Once you start collecting survey answers, it’s important to dive into the data. Activity Messenger offers analysis tools to help you do just that.

Analyze swim school survey data:

Organize and categorize: Examine responses by class level, type and instructor
Identify trends: Look for recurring feedback to identify strengths and areas for improvement.
Implement Improvements: Share with your team and apply lessons learned from feedback.

Analyzing the Data from your dance feedback form

📌 Pro Tip: When we began, it was just my partner and me coaching, so keeping track of parent and child feedback was straightforward. As we grew and hired more coaches, figuring out how to improve our trainings became essential. By analyzing survey data, we discovered where we needed to focus to help our staff offer the same level of quality across the board.
