A Saudi platform built for sports and learning academiesEasy registration, payment and follow-up
MidmarA swim school management system in Arabic: set up your levels and their groups with as many places as a lane can take, parents enrol their son or daughter in the right session and pay from their phone, and the money goes straight to your academy's account.
Pool hours are rented and limited, and one lane with one coach takes only so many swimmers, so every extra enrolment is a safety problem before it is an organisation problem. Girls' sessions are separate from boys', and parents ask on WhatsApp: "Which level suits my child?" and "Is there a place left?". With a list on paper, a beginner sometimes ends up with an advanced swimmer.
A system for managing your swim academy and its subscriptions, built around how you work at the pool:
Foundation, beginner, intermediate and advanced, or any names you use. Each level has its age range, price, payment cycle and description, with its groups under it. Moving up a level is the coach's decision; the parent then enrols in the new programme.
You set each group's capacity, for example 6 swimmers with one coach. When it is full, enrolment closes on its own and it shows "Full"; when places run low, parents see "3 places left". You can run two groups at the same hour if you have two lanes and two coaches.
Each programme has a gender (boys, girls or mixed) and a category (children, adults or all ages). The system refuses to enrol a boy in a girls' programme or a child in an adults' programme, so the mistake never reaches the pool. Groups for very young children can stay mixed if you wish.
Each programme has its own cycle: a monthly subscription, a termly one, or a pack with a stated number of sessions (such as 8 sessions) valid for 90 days. One swim school management system handles all three.
The coach opens their phone and sees the groups, with today's groups marked, takes attendance with a tap, and rates each swimmer on skills they name themselves: floating, breathing, kicking, freestyle, from one to five stars.
Parents pay by mada, Apple Pay, card or Tamara, and the money goes straight to the academy's account. They receive a reminder email five days before the subscription ends and on the day it ends, on every package.
An example of how to set it up, not a real academy.
| Level | Category | Age | Cycle and price | Groups |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Children · mixed | 4–6 | Monthly · SAR 500 | 2 groups × 5 places |
| Beginner girls | Children · girls | 7–12 | 8-session pack · SAR 640 | 1 group × 6 places |
| Beginner boys | Children · boys | 7–12 | 8-session pack · SAR 640 | 1 group × 6 places |
| Women | Adults | 18–60 | Monthly · SAR 500 | 1 group × 8 places |
Four programmes, each accepting only those who fit by age and gender, and every group closing when its places are full.
The demo academy, Al-Maydan, is a football academy, but the screens are the same: the programme card with its ages, places left, payment through a demo gateway, coach attendance and the owner dashboard. Enter it in any role without signing up.
You pay Midmar nothing until a parent pays you. The basic package has no monthly subscription; SAR 6.90 including VAT is deducted from each successful payment whatever its amount, plus the payment gateway's fee by payment method.
| Subscription | Paid by | The academy receives |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation: SAR 500 a month | mada | SAR 487.35 |
| 8-session pack: SAR 640 | mada | SAR 625.74 |
Selling sessions as a pack means one payment for eight sessions, so the fixed fee is deducted once.
Add your levels: each with its age, gender, price and cycle, then its groups with their days, times and places.
Send the link: your-academy.midmar.app to parents on WhatsApp or the academy's account.
Activate payments: open your account with the payment gateway using your commercial registration or freelance document, and enrolment opens.
Yes. Choose the programme's gender, and the system refuses any enrolment that doesn't match. Groups for young children can stay mixed.
No. You set each group's places to what your lane can take, and each group has its days and times. Scheduling the lanes themselves is outside the system.
Not automatically. The pack shows its number of sessions and stays valid for 90 days, and the attendance record shows how many sessions the swimmer attended.
No. The coach rates them on swimming skills, then the parent enrols in the next programme when you decide.
Within 50 minutes of payment it is cancelled in full. After that it is refunded under the refund policy within 14 days, which the academy may shorten. Refund Policy
Setting up is free, and there is no fee until your first payment arrives.
