Lifeguard scheduling your guards actually use
Shifts, swaps, and a timeclock in a phone-first app for your guards, plus one schedule of record for the manager, connected to everything else the pool runs on.
What makes lifeguard scheduling different?
Lifeguards are seasonal and young, juggling school, sports, and family plans, so the schedule changes constantly. Software has to make the swap easy and keep the manager in control, or everyone falls back to the group chat and the whiteboard.
What Hydive includes
- A phone-first guard app: every guard sees their shifts, requests swaps, and clocks in and out from their phone.
- Shift swaps with approval: guards arrange coverage, the manager approves, and the schedule of record stays true.
- A real timeclock: it records the hours guards actually worked and feeds payroll summaries the treasurer can trust.
- Schedule import: bring an existing season schedule in with a paste.
- Weather calls: advisory closures reach the people on shift.
Why it beats a standalone scheduling app
A standalone scheduler knows shifts. Hydive knows the club: payroll flows into the same season budget the board watches, so labor, a pool's biggest expense, lands in the burn-down the week it happens. See how the burn-down works →
