Key facts
Swimming courses are chronically fully booked. Parents call, write emails and are on manual waiting lists. Bookicorn digitizes your course management with automatic waiting lists, online booking and participant management.

The killer feature for swimming schools: customers automatically move up when a place becomes available. E-mail notification included.
Seahorse course over 10 weeks, advanced swimming as a series - start once, automatically scheduled.
Baby swimming, toddlers, children and adults as separate categories with matching icons and colors.
Strict capacity limits per course for maximum safety in the water.
Course block bookings as credit packages: 10-card for open swimming or series booking.
Automatic reminders before each course date - including instructions on what to bring.
Manage different swimming pools or indoor pools as separate locations.
Parents book and pay directly online. No need to pay cash at the poolside.
Parents book swimming lessons for their children and keep track of all appointments and progress.
With the Bookicorn app, parents have their entire swim school management at their fingertips. They can book swimming lessons for their children conveniently from their smartphone, check available places and manage appointments flexibly. Whether baby swimming in the morning or aqua fitness in the evening – all available courses are clearly displayed and bookable in just a few taps.
At the same time, as a swim school operator you can view participant lists in real time and check course capacities. Automatic reminders inform parents about upcoming lessons in good time. This creates transparency, reduces enquiries and gives you more time for what counts – teaching at the poolside.


Your swim school has its own identity – and that should be reflected in your booking system. With Bookicorn you customise colours, logo and the entire appearance to match your branding. Whether a fresh blue for the lanes or a vibrant turquoise for baby swimming – you decide the look.
Seamless integration into your website ensures parents and swimmers enjoy a unified experience. From the course overview to the confirmation email – everything carries the hallmark of your swim school. This builds trust and recognition among families who regularly attend seahorse courses or swim badge preparations.


With Bookicorn you keep 100% of your revenue. We charge no percentage-based commission on your course bookings. Whether a seahorse course with ten sessions, a swim badge course for bronze and silver or an aqua fitness class – every euro your swimmers pay stays with you.
Especially for swim schools with high course volume, this makes an enormous difference. With dozens of course places per week, commissions on other platforms quickly add up to several thousand euros per year. Instead, you pay a fixed monthly fee – transparent, predictable and independent of your booking numbers.


Every swim school has its own way of billing courses. Bookicorn offers versatile payment options that perfectly match your offering. Whether course blocks with ten sessions for the seahorse course, single lessons for individual training or badge courses for bronze, silver and gold – you decide how payment works.
Use credit packages for families who come regularly and want to switch flexibly between baby swimming, water acclimatisation and aqua fitness. The Stripe integration ensures secure payment processing – parents can conveniently pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. All transactions are transparently visible in your dashboard.
