The LTS app provides a highly flexible framework designed to manage everything from junior swim schools to adult stroke development. It moves beyond simple pass/fail tracking to deliver rich progression narratives and club-wide analytics.
1. Program Architecture & Custom Scales
Every club teaches differently. MyAthlete does not force you into a rigid national curriculum; instead, it provides the tools to build your own.
- Hierarchical Progression: Define overarching Programs (e.g., "Junior LTS") containing sequential Levels (Stage 1, Stage 2). Levels can be linked to multiple core system Squads to handle high-volume enrollments (e.g., Stage 1-A and 1-B).
- Custom Grading Scales: Move beyond binary assessments. Define nuanced scales like 'Bronze / Silver / Gold' or 'Developing / Mastered', specifying exactly which grades trigger a successful skill pass.
- Granular Skill Tracking: Break levels down into specific milestones (e.g., "10m Front Crawl") complete with detailed metadata and targeted ordering.
2. Poolside Efficiency: The Matrix View
For coaches actively on the deck, speed and visibility are paramount.
- The Grid: A high-density 2D visualization plotting your entire squad against their required skills. See the status of every skill for every athlete in a single glance.
- Bulk Operations: Record grades for multiple athletes simultaneously with a single save action,
Automated Progression: Squad Auto-Promotion
When an athlete completes all passing criteria for their current level, the system identifies them as eligible for a Level Award. Upon granting this digital award, the engine can trigger an Auto-Promotion, seamlessly transferring the athlete's primary membership to the squad linked with their next chronological learning level if the club wishes to do so.
3. Admin Operational Intelligence
While coaches focus on the athletes, Head Coaches and Admins can focus on the performance of the program itself through real-time cohort analytics.
- Bottleneck Identification: Heatmaps pinpoint specific skills where athletes consistently stall, allowing you to quickly adjust your curriculum or teaching strategies.
- Stagnation Monitoring: The system automatically flags athletes who are falling behind their cohort's average assessment frequency.
4. The Athlete Narrative
Progression is a journey. The LTS system provides families with a rich, interactive view of their hard work.
