Gathering feedback is the key to building a thriving swimming community, but knowing how to ask can be tough.

Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Community feedback posts work because they empower members to feel heard and valued. When swimmers see that their opinions matter, they are more likely to participate and invest in the community's growth. Open-ended questions encourage thoughtful responses and draw out experiences or ideas that might otherwise go unspoken.
The act of asking for feedback creates a sense of collaboration and ownership, transforming passive members into active contributors. In swimming communities, this leads to richer discussions, better resources, and programming that truly reflects members' needs. When feedback is actively sought and acknowledged, trust and loyalty within the group naturally increase.

Start by choosing a template that matches the topic or area you want to improve. Post it at a time when your members are most active for maximum reach. Encourage responses by being present in the conversation, thanking members for their input, and summarizing key takeaways after the discussion. Rotate feedback prompts regularly to keep engagement fresh and relevant. Use poll features or comment threads to make participation easy, and always highlight how the feedback will shape future community decisions.
On all platforms, keep language clear and concise to avoid misunderstandings. Use tagging or pinning features to keep feedback posts visible. On chat-based platforms, ask for quick reactions or emojis to boost participation. For forums or groups, use polls alongside open-ended prompts for a mix of qualitative and quantitative feedback.
Use targeted feedback templates that ask swimmers about their experiences with lane sharing, perceived capacity, and preferred swim times. Including specific options like 'circle swimming,' 'split lanes,' or 'wait times' will help identify the most pressing issues related to overcrowding in your swimming community.
Incorporate feedback prompts that ask about coaching clarity, individualized stroke correction, workout variety, and safety monitoring. Use swimming terms like 'drill explanation,' 'stroke feedback,' and 'interval management' to ensure the feedback is specific and actionable for your coaching staff.
Ask members about their observations on water clarity, chlorine levels, temperature, and cleanliness of locker rooms and pool decks. Specific questions might include, 'How satisfied are you with the pool’s pH balance?' or 'Have you noticed slippery tiles or broken lane ropes during your sessions?'
Feedback forms should include questions about heat assignments, start times, warm-up lane availability, and communication around schedule changes. Consider asking swimmers and parents, 'Were you satisfied with the seeding and event order?' and 'Did you receive timely updates about any schedule adjustments?'
Use templates that specifically prompt feedback on adaptive swim classes, availability of shallow water options, and accessibility features like pool lifts or zero-entry ramps. Questions such as 'Do you feel all skill levels and physical abilities are accommodated in our sessions?' can help identify gaps.
Include prompts about concerns like water temperature, safety support (e.g., lifeguard presence, rescue kayaks), sighting markers, and pre-race briefings. Questions such as 'Do you feel adequately prepared for conditions at our open water events?' will give you actionable insight specific to this swimming scenario.
