Propel
Propel makes private swimming lessons affordable and accessible to everyone, by connecting new swimmers, experienced instructors, and under-utilized swimming pools — all in one seamless booking process.With waitlists in the thousands, both public and private classes are hard to get into. Inconsistent lesson availability and quality causesprogress to be slow and learning from an independent instructor isn’t possible because most pools do not admit outside instructors.We help swim instructors become recreation entrepreneurs, giving them access to under-utilized pools in hotels and gyms, while increasing revenue and brand engagement for our pool partners. Collectively we are creating an entirely new personal swim instruction industry.For latest updates please follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @PropelHQ
