To create an account, ask your captain for your club's join link.
Sign-ups, cox availability, river restrictions, members roster, email confirmations and more - all in one place.
I made Puddles because I was frustrated with the admin of captaincy.
It was a mess of old spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups, all of which have to be mentally linked by the captain - checking sign-ups against river restrictions, against cox status, against coach availability. It's now all in one place for St Anne's BC, and the captains have so much more headspace because of it.
Publish a week of outings in minutes - no more spreadsheet formatting. Members sign up themselves, you see who's in at a glance, and the app flags outings that are missing coxes, have too many bow-siders, or have rowers needing swim tests.
A dedicated availability table that coxes fill in each week. No more individual messages. Assign coxes to sessions with one click.
Puddles detects when outings violate any of Oxford's unique river restrictions, from red flag to proctors hours to Wednesday evenings.
Tailored to Oxford rowing, with swim test, capsize drills, coxing experience and more. Automatically links to the rest of the app, so you won't accidentally have a novice cox set on an amber flag or seven stroke-siders in a boat.
No need to type out the same email format again and again. Puddles sends a pre-formatted email directly to everyone listed on an outing with two clicks from a captain.
A daily summary email sent to captains each evening - what needs confirming, what sessions lack sign-ups, and what's coming up tomorrow. Stay on top of the week without constantly checking the app.
And more: Small boats booking, club training tracker, boat roster, calendar downloads, and more.
Puddles has been used by St Anne's BC throughout this term. Captaincy admin takes up too much time in an already very busy Oxford term - there's a better way of doing things, and I want to make it available to every Oxford college.
I'm looking to work closely with a small number of colleges to shape how the app develops. If you're interested in getting your club set up, get in touch.
Fill in the details below and I'll be in touch. No commitment - just a conversation about whether Puddles could work for your club.
Thanks — I've got your details.
I'll be in touch soon to talk through getting your club set up. No commitment at this stage — just a conversation about whether Puddles could work for you.
