As a swimming pool operator, do you often encounter situations where customers arrive at your facility only to discover that they have forgotten their swimming goggles, caps, towels, earplugs, or other essential swimming products?
Your front desk staff may need to introduce products, process payments, and retrieve items for customers. During peak periods, employees are already busy handling admission, membership services, swimming lesson inquiries, and other operational tasks, making it difficult to manage product sales at the same time. When the front desk is unattended or the facility is close to closing, potential retail orders may also be lost.
The WEIMI 48-Locker Smart Swimming Supplies Vending Machine is designed for swimming pools, aquatic centers, swimming schools, fitness clubs, school pools, hotel pools, and resorts. It integrates 48 independent lockers, transparent product displays, touchscreen purchasing, cashless payment, automatic locker opening, product recommendations, promotional management, inventory monitoring, and remote management.
48 Independent Lockers —— Sell More Types of Swimming Products from One Machine
The machine is equipped with 48 independent locker compartments. Swimming pool operators can flexibly configure different product types, colors, sizes, and price levels according to their customers and actual sales demand.
Suitable products include:
Adult swimming goggles
Children’s swimming goggles
Training goggles
Anti-fog swimming goggles
Adult swimming caps
Children’s swimming caps
Silicone swimming caps
Swimming earplugs
Swimming nose clips
Anti-fog spray
Quick-drying towels
Waterproof phone pouches
Waterproof storage bags
Pool slippers
Swim diapers
Children’s swimming sets
Travel-size shampoo and body wash
Other compact swimming and personal care products
Swimming pool operators can allocate more lockers to popular products such as goggles, swimming caps, and towels while reserving other lockers for different colors, sizes, styles, and price ranges.
For example, separate lockers can be assigned to adult goggles, children’s goggles, black swimming caps, colored swimming caps, and bundled swimming sets. This makes the product selection clearer and allows customers to find suitable products more quickly.
Each product is stored inside an individual locker, preventing different products from being stacked or compressed against one another.
For goggles, waterproof phone pouches, anti-fog sprays, and boxed swimming products, individual storage can reduce the risk of scratched lenses, deformed packaging, and product collisions.
Unlike traditional spiral vending machines, products do not need to fall from a shelf after purchase. Once payment is completed, the corresponding locker door automatically opens, allowing the customer to remove the product directly.
This delivery method is particularly suitable for boxed goggles, bottled anti-fog spray, folded towels, slippers, and bundled swimming products because it provides better protection for both the merchandise and its packaging.
For swimming pool operators, reducing product damage also means fewer after-sales issues, replacements, and inventory losses.
Deep Locker Compartments —— Compatible with Different Product Sizes and Packaging Types
The machine features deep storage compartments that can accommodate boxed, bagged, bottled, folded, and bundled products.
Different lockers can hold products of different dimensions, shapes, and quantities. Swimming pool operators do not need to standardize every product into the same packaging format.
Operators can place one product inside each locker or combine several complementary products into one swimming kit, such as:
Swimming goggles and swimming cap
Swimming cap and earplugs
Nose clip and swimming earplugs
Swimming goggles and anti-fog spray
Towel and waterproof storage bag
Children’s goggles and children’s swimming cap
Swim diapers and waterproof changing bag
Waterproof phone pouch and locker-key wristband
Shampoo, body wash, and quick-drying towel
Beginner swimming accessory kit
Bundled products allow customers to purchase several necessary items at once, reducing selection time while increasing the swimming pool’s average order value.
Transparent Display Lockers —— Let Customers See the Actual Product Before Purchasing
Every locker features a transparent display window, allowing customers to view the actual product, packaging, color, size, and condition before making a purchase.
Swimming products often have noticeable differences in color, design, and size. Adult and children’s goggles are different sizes, while swimming caps are available in various colors and materials. Transparent displays reduce uncertainty about the actual appearance and packaging dimensions of each product.
Customers can compare the physical item inside the locker with the product images and information displayed on the touchscreen before completing the purchase.
Clear product visibility also makes the machine more attractive. Goggles, swimming caps, towels, and waterproof accessories can be displayed in a neat and organized way, allowing the vending machine to function as both an automated retail unit and a product showcase.
The strong locker-door structure protects the merchandise while reducing the risk of unpaid access or unauthorized handling.
Swimming pool operators can configure related product recommendations through the backend management system. When a customer selects a product, the touchscreen can automatically display relevant complementary items.
For example, when a customer selects swimming goggles, the system can recommend:
Swimming caps
Anti-fog spray
Swimming earplugs
Swimming nose clips
Quick-drying towels
Waterproof phone pouches
When a customer selects a children’s swimming cap, the system can recommend children’s goggles, swim diapers, children’s earplugs, or a complete beginner swimming kit.
When a customer selects a towel, the system can recommend slippers, waterproof storage bags, shampoo, body wash, or other personal care products.
These recommendations do not require front desk staff to actively promote additional products. Customers can quickly find useful accessories according to their needs, while swimming pool operators gain more opportunities for add-on sales.
Flexible Multi-Buy Promotions —— Increase the Average Value of Swimming Product Orders
The system supports multi-buy discounts and bundled promotions. Swimming pool operators can configure different offers according to their sales objectives, inventory levels, and customer groups.
Examples include:
Buy two products and receive 10% off
Receive a discount on a swimming cap when purchasing goggles
Purchase goggles and anti-fog spray at a bundled price
Receive a discount on a children’s goggles-and-cap set
Purchase two towels at a family price
Buy a complete swimming kit at a special bundled price
Offer special discounts on selected products for swimming lesson participants
Families often need to purchase several products at the same time, while swimming students may need goggles, swimming caps, and other essential accessories in one transaction. Clear bundled promotions can strengthen purchase motivation and help swimming pool operators increase the average order value.
Promotional content can also be adjusted according to seasons and activities. During the summer swimming lesson season, operators can focus on children’s swimming kits. During competitions or training events, they can promote professional goggles and anti-fog products.
High-Definition Product Information —— Help Customers Choose the Right Products Quickly
When purchasing swimming supplies, customers often need to understand product size, material, color, suitable age group, and specific features.
Swimming pool operators can display detailed product information on the touchscreen, including:
High-resolution product images
Product name and brand
Product price
Available colors
Product dimensions
Adult or children’s size
Suitable age range
Lens color and material
Anti-fog function
UV protection
Swimming-cap material and elasticity
Towel dimensions and material
Waterproof product specifications
Instructions for use
Cleaning and maintenance information
Safety precautions
Key product features
For swimming goggles, the screen can display the lens type, anti-fog treatment, seal material, strap adjustment method, and whether the product is suitable for adults or children.
For swimming caps, customers can view the material, size, color, elasticity, and recommended user group.
Complete product information reduces repeated questions at the front desk and can also lower the risk of after-sales issues caused by customers selecting the wrong size, function, or product type.
Expiration and Sales-Deadline Management —— Reduce the Risk of Selling Unsuitable Products
Swimming goggles, caps, and towels generally have long sales cycles. However, anti-fog sprays, sunscreen products, personal care products, wet wipes, and hygiene products may have expiration dates or recommended sales periods.
The backend system can record the expiration date or sales deadline of these products and send alerts when an item is approaching its configured date.
After receiving an alert, the swimming pool operator can adjust the price, create a promotion, replace the product, or stop selling it.
When a product passes its configured sales deadline, the system can automatically stop sales from the corresponding locker, helping prevent unsuitable products from being purchased.
This function helps swimming pool operators establish a more standardized product-management process while protecting customer experience and facility reputation.
Real-Time Inventory and Restocking Alerts —— No Need to Inspect All 48 Lockers Manually
Operators can view the real-time status of all 48 lockers through a smartphone or computer, including:
Products currently available for sale
Products already sold
Empty lockers
Lockers requiring restocking
Out-of-stock products
Low-stock products
Locker-door status
Abnormal locker conditions
When popular products such as goggles, swimming caps, or towels are running low, the system can send timely restocking alerts.
Staff can check the required products and quantities before visiting the machine and prepare the correct stock in advance. There is no need to frequently open every locker for manual inspection, reducing unnecessary checks and repetitive replenishment work.
For operators managing multiple swimming pools or swimming schools, headquarters can remotely monitor inventory at different locations and coordinate restocking according to actual sales demand.
Sales Data Analysis —— Optimize the Product Allocation of All 48 Lockers
The system automatically records the sales performance of different swimming products and presents the information through visual reports.
Swimming pool operators can identify:
Which swimming goggles sell best
Which swimming-cap colors are most popular
The sales ratio between adult and children’s products
Which product sizes are most popular
Which products are frequently purchased together
Which time periods generate the most orders
Which lockers have the highest turnover
Which products sell more slowly
Which bundled promotions perform best
Which products require more locker allocation
Which products should be reduced or replaced
For example, if children’s goggles and swimming caps sell significantly faster during weekends, operators can allocate more lockers to children’s products before weekend peak periods.
If goggles and anti-fog spray are frequently purchased together, the operator can create a bundled package or configure the touchscreen to recommend anti-fog spray automatically when customers select goggles.
By analyzing real sales data, swimming pool operators can continuously optimize product selection, locker allocation, pricing, and promotional strategies instead of relying only on experience.
Comprehensive Remote Management —— Manage One or Multiple Machines from a Smartphone or Computer
Swimming pool operators do not need to remain beside the vending machine. Daily operations can be managed remotely through the backend platform, including:
Editing product names and prices
Assigning products to different lockers
Adjusting promotional discounts
Creating bundled product sets
Uploading product images and descriptions
Configuring related product recommendations
Updating touchscreen advertisements
Viewing the status of all 48 lockers
Checking real-time inventory
Receiving restocking alerts
Viewing orders and sales data
Monitoring locker-door status
Checking machine operating conditions
Controlling machine lighting
Restarting the machine remotely
Managing multiple machines and locations
Creating different staff accounts and permissions
If an operator manages several swimming pools, training centers, or fitness facilities, machines, inventory, and sales data from different locations can be monitored through one backend platform. This helps reduce the labor and time required for multi-location management.
Convert Existing Visitor Traffic into Additional Retail Revenue
Installing a swimming supplies vending machine does not require the swimming pool to open a traditional retail store or hire dedicated sales staff.
The machine can use limited space near the entrance, changing rooms, rest areas, or front desk to provide immediate access to swimming supplies.
When customers forget to bring goggles, swimming caps, or towels, they do not need to leave the facility to find a store or cancel their swimming or training plans because they are missing essential equipment.
For swimming pool operators, every forgotten item can become an additional retail order. Smart recommendations, bundled sets, and multi-buy promotions can further increase the value of each transaction.
By combining 48 independent lockers, transparent product displays, touchscreen purchasing, cashless payment, smart recommendations, promotional management, inventory alerts, sales analysis, and remote management, the WEIMI 48-Locker Smart Swimming Supplies Vending Machine helps swimming pool operators improve customer service, reduce front desk sales work, and establish a stable and scalable retail channel for swimming products.
