I set up 152 Swim Classes ONLINE in just over 1 hour!

BFIS (Business Focused Internet Solutions) aka Time2Sign-up has developed an awesome registration program for swim schools. After years of glitches in the old system

that some of my fellow swim school members may remember, this new

system they developed for me is EASY, STATE-OF-THE-ART, and virtually

Error Proof!

We started our May Swim Lessons Registration about five minutes ago so my classes went LIVE at Midnight. This is not an April Fool’s…

The Green Gap

I’m contemplating two April events that seemingly have nothing to do with each other, but are actually inexorably linked: the annual Aquatics International salary survey and Earth Day.…
