Q: What is the difference between CoursePro and Swimmigo?

CoursePro is a British web platform for sports courses with pricing on request. Swimmigo is a swim-specific app with a fixed monthly fee, own lesson method via Studio, and self-practice for parent and child.

The main difference

The main difference is the platform and the price. CoursePro is a British web platform for sports courses, with pricing on request. Swimmigo is a swim-specific app with a fixed monthly fee, its own lesson method via Studio, and self-practice for parent and child.

Swimmigo is not the best swim software, but a different one. CoursePro started as a swim lesson system and grew into course management for large leisure operators. Swimmigo focuses purely on swim lessons and is fully integrated into one app.

What is CoursePro?

CoursePro is software from Fitronics from the United Kingdom. It started in 2009 as a swim lesson system, built in a Somerset leisure centre, and grew into course management for swim schools and other sports. More than 450 operators worldwide use it.

Pricing on request

CoursePro does not list prices on the site. You request a demo or quote to find out what you pay. For large leisure trusts, the price is often an enterprise quote.

Web platform with tablet for the instructor

Management is done in a Control Centre on the computer. Parents see progress and pay via HomePortal. The instructor uses CoachPortal on a tablet for registers and assessments. There is no own lesson method builder and no self-practice for parent and child.

What is Swimmigo?

Swimmigo is an app for the entire swim lesson process, from registration to diploma. School, instructor, parent, and swimmer are all in one native app for iOS and Android. Additionally, there is Studio, a web app where you build your own lesson method.

Fixed monthly fee

Swimmigo charges a fixed monthly amount. Solo costs 9.99 euros per month, School costs 59.99 euros per month. Both with unlimited children and free setup; your 30-day trial only starts once you invite your first real student. Parents use the app for free.

Every lesson type, own lesson method, and self-practice

Swimmigo sets up every lesson type in a few minutes: a fixed weekly lesson, a two-week speed course, or a ten-week turbo lesson. Via Studio you build your own levels, exercises, sequence, videos, and certificates. And uniquely, Swimmigo lets parent and child practice themselves with levels and gamification, even without a fixed swim school.
