You're not the only one who's had enough.
Swim Coaches face unique challenges: Pool rental per hour eats most of your group-rate margin. Group class vs 1-on-1 stroke-correction pricing. Meet entry fees and travel for competitive swim clients. Time-trial tracking per swimmer per stroke. Parent communication about meet results and meet schedules. On top of all that, Acuity Scheduling charges $33/month ($396/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median swim coach earns $42,000/year. Software at $396/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Pool partnership (Y, community center, or aquatic facility rental) is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
Acuity Scheduling is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
