I liked the idea of Swim but in reality it does me no good since I have two children. When I click skills on or off for one child, it shows up on the other child as well. So, unless your kids are clones, donβt bother tracking their skills.
Crashes immediately when opened.
Swim won't stay open. Constantly crashing on iPhone 6s Plus with iOS 11.x. Don't waste you time downloading until ARC fixes it.
I canβt use until it is updated for IOS 11
The application is great for up and coming lifeguards to learn water safety, as well as being great for the common layman.
Swim is fantastic as you are able to track multiple children via their own profile at a time. There are few bugs and no βhelpβ option to request they get fixed.
Swim is definitely of amazing quality. However as an official Red Cross Water Safety Instructor, I would like to see some functionality for all instructors where we can keep track of our lesson's progress via entry in Swim . Great for parents. But please look into optimizing for instructors as well. We could definitely use this.
This is an awesome app for Water Safety Education and the promotion of Red Cross Swimming Lessons, however, one thing to be noted is the 'Find Classes' feature is not very applicable due to the fact that Red Cross LTS classes are not required (and rarely are, if ever) pre-registered with the Red Cross before the class begins. This makes it so then people, when looking for classes, can easily be mislead into thinking that there are no classes around. It may be better to instead offer a search/directory of LTS-registered facilities in the area. I like the integration of WHALE tales too! Also, as mentioned in previous reviews, something for instructors could be very beneficial, perhaps something along the lines of having an interface (or maybe even separate application) that allows for the checking-off of skills, class schedules, rosters, all information that they can input. Just a thought. Besides that, great for the every-day this app parent! However, why has it not been optimized for the iPad yet? I wish that, like the rest of the Red Cross applications, this app would have the same.
Note- it was fairly difficult for me to find Swim , even after going to the American Red Cross Developer page, I could not find it until today (and I have been searching on Swim Store for about a week)
PS- I am a Certified Water Safety Instructor and Lifeguard
This is a nice little app., however, as mentioned in an earlier review, there needs to be something on here for instructors.
Thank you so much Red Cross for making my job as a dad easier with your app.
Very useful app. I'm a swimming instructor and I recommend Swim to my families!
Good source of information for parents and kids. Awards and badges are good. Nice job Red Cross!
As a Red Cross Instructor Trainer and parent.... I love this new app!! Can't wait to share it with all my students.
My 4 year old loves using the videos and earning badges in Swim. Great that he loves doing something that will help keep him safe as we are surrounded by water where we live. He's never been very comfortable in the water but getting to mark off accomplishments is helping to motivate him to work on it.
I teach high school phys. ed. but will be passing along the information to our districts elementary PE teachers to convey to the parents of the students!
I'm an instructor and find Swim a great way for parents to keep track of their kids swimming ability. I also educates the parents in water safety which is always good
Swim is hands down the best thing I have discovered! Lots of great info for parents and instructors. You can keep track of students progress and they can earn badges for encouragement. I wish it had more things for instructors.. but hey it works for me! π¬πππΎ
I've never written a review before but this one deserves it! I've been teaching this app lessons for a while and I guess it didn't don on me to see if the Red Cross had an app.
Swim is easy to use and it's super easy to track different kids progress. With one touch you can record that a kid completed a specific skill. Paper and water never go well together but a waterproof iPhone case with Swim is perfect!
Wish there was a way to share progress with parents...
The Red Cross has come up with a great way for parents to support their child as they take swimming lessons! I am a Water Safety Instructor who knows the value of getting the parent involved. Swim lists all the pre-school aquatics and learn-to-this app skills by level, water safety information, water activities and games for practicing skills, and much more. I see this as a wonderful tool for the poolside parent to bring up on their phone while they wait for their child to finish their lesson. Swim can be downloaded on an I-Pad, just select I-phone.
