Swim Coaching Intake Form

Onboard swimmers of every level with an intake covering their goals, strokes, sessions, and any fears about water.

Description

The Swim Coaching Intake Form gives coaches a complete picture of a new swimmer before coaching begins. Clients say who the coaching is for, their current level, and what they’d like to work on, so you can meet each swimmer where they are and build a plan around their goals rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Understanding which strokes they can swim, their goals, how many sessions a week they’d like, and any medical conditions or fears about water helps you coach safely and sensitively. Swimmer details, the booker’s name where different, and contact information complete the intake, so you can confirm coaching and start each swimmer’s journey knowing exactly how to help.

Great coaching starts with really knowing the swimmer. Sign up for a free Fun Forms account to customize the fields and embed this intake form on your website.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Swim Coaching Intake Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a swim coaching intake form?

It’s a questionnaire that helps a coach understand a new swimmer before coaching starts, capturing their level, strokes, goals, and any fears. Coaches use it to plan sessions tailored to each swimmer rather than starting from a blank page.

Who is this intake form for?

It suits coaches working with swimmers of any level, from beginners to competitive athletes, and lets someone book on another person’s behalf. Anyone offering swim coaching can use it to gather the background they need for effective first sessions.

Why ask which strokes a swimmer can do?

Knowing which strokes a swimmer is comfortable with shows the coach their starting point and where to focus. It helps plan sessions that build on strengths and address gaps, so coaching feels tailored from the very first time in the water.

Should swimmers mention fears about water?

Yes. Many swimmers carry nerves about depth, cold, or a past experience, and sharing them lets the coach be reassuring and patient. Knowing about fears upfront helps build the trust and confidence that real progress depends on.

Can I set how many sessions a week?

Yes. The form asks how many sessions you’d like, so the coach can plan a realistic schedule around your goals and availability. Agreeing this early helps set expectations and build a training rhythm that fits your life and ambitions.

Is this intake form free to use?

Yes — it’s completely free with a Fun Forms account. You can customize every field, restyle it to match your brand, embed it on your website in seconds, and it needs no coding at all.
