The backlog

Nothing is wrong with your process. There's just too much of it.

Schools that take teaching quality seriously already do this properly — record the class, sit down with the footage, score the instructor line by line against the in-house rubric. It works. It's also the single most expensive hour in the building.

At forty minutes a review, a supervisor gets through a handful a week. The rest of the recordings sit on a drive, watched by nobody.

Woggle reviews all of them, on your form, and flags the ones a person actually needs to watch.

What it checks

Your form, scored your way.

Woggle is loaded with your school's own observation form and your own curriculum language. It scores the way your supervisor scores — the same criteria, in the same order, with the same wording.

Position & safety

Where the instructor actually was

Confirms the instructor is in the water, at eye level, and holding a sightline to every child for the whole lesson.

  • In-water for full session
  • Eye-level with students
  • Teacher triangle maintained
  • No child unattended in deep water
Curriculum language

Whether they said your words

Transcribes speech through pool noise and checks it against the cues your levels require — mapped to the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme as well as your in-house wording.

  • "Froggy legs"
  • "Long and strong"
  • "Pointy toes"
  • "One arm enters as the other pulls"
Evidence

Proof you can put in a file

Every tick carries the timestamp it came from, so a coaching conversation or an incident review starts from footage instead of memory.

  • Timestamped clip per criterion
  • One-page PDF, signed off
  • Instructor trend over time
  • Exportable for audit
How it works

Three steps, no new hardware.

Step 1

Record however you already do

A GoPro or phone at the poolside, close enough to keep the instructor and the class in frame and pick up what's being said. Most schools already record this way. One upload per lesson, from the pool office or the app.

Step 2

Woggle fills in the form

Vision and audio are assessed against your rubric, in the region you operate in. A 30-minute lesson takes about a minute.

Step 3

Your supervisor signs it off

Click any line to jump to that moment, change a tick, add a note, send it to the instructor. The final call stays human.

Forty minutes by hand. Fifty-eight seconds here. Same form, same rubric, same sign-off.

Still water surface with light caustics across pool tile

We assess the instructor. Not the children.

Children in the footage

The first question a parent asks, answered on this page.

Woggle assesses the instructor. Children appear in the footage, so how they are handled is the product, not the small print.

Children's faces are blurred on ingest

Blurring happens before assessment and cannot be switched off. Reviewers see position and movement, not identifiable faces.

No child is named, scored, or tracked

Nothing in the system builds a record about a child. Every form belongs to an instructor.

Processed and stored in the United Kingdom

Footage stays on UK infrastructure under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, with DBS-checked supervisor access and retention you set at 7, 30 or 90 days.

Never used to train models

Your footage trains nothing, ours or anyone else's. Contractual, not a setting.

Parent notice templates included

Plain-language consent wording for enrolment forms and pool signage, written for United Kingdom.

Access is logged and scoped

Only named supervisors at your school can open footage. Every view is recorded and exportable.
