The safest feature is the one we didn't build.
Most swimmers are children, so these rules are built into the database itself, not just the screens. Each one below is how AquaticsFlow works today.
No private messages
There is no chat between one adult and one child, or between any two people. Coaches post announcements to a whole squad or group and its parents, and nobody can reply privately.
Consent before anything
A child stays inactive until a guardian's consent is on record. Parents can read the club's consent text and agree in the app, and every version of that text is kept.
Everyone sees only their own
Parents see their own children, swimmers see themselves, and clubs never see each other. It is checked on every request, not only hidden on screen.
Coaches see their own swimmers
A coach sees only the swimmers in the squads and groups they coach. Only the head coach and the club admin see the whole club.
Removing a coach is immediate
When a club removes a coach, their access ends straight away, and the records they kept stay with the club.
Nothing on the lock screen
Phone notifications never name a child or show a time. The details are inside the app, behind a sign-in.
Your data, yours to take
Adults can download everything AquaticsFlow holds about them, and guardians can download their children's, in one tap.
Safety is never behind a paywall
Injury alerts, consent, telling the coach a child is unwell and downloading data stay free for every family, whatever they pay.
Who sees what
Every person in a club sees a different part of it. This is what each role can see.
| Club admin | The whole club, the consent record, coach credentials and club fees. |
|---|---|
| Head coach | Every swimmer and session in the club, and the club's analytics. |
| Coach | Only the swimmers in the squads and training groups they coach. |
| Parent | Their own children, and nothing about anyone else's. |
| Swimmer | Themselves, their own sessions and their club's announcements. |
Questions from your club's data protection adviser?
Start with how consent works in the app. Each club edits its own consent text, and the app keeps a record of who agreed to which version, and how.
