The problem
Your pool timetable was printed three weeks ago
Tuesday Pilates moved to Wednesday, but the studio door still says Tuesday. Swimmers stand at the pool edge asking a lifeguard which lanes are open, and reception answers "Is there a class on now?" while members queue at the turnstile.

Use cases
What leisure centres put on their screens
Pool lane timetable
Lanes and sessions at the poolside entrance
Show which lanes are for public swimming, lessons or lane swimming, with start and end times. If the school group runs late, the duty manager updates the screen from their phone before members reach the pool.
Studio door display
The class on now, and the one after
Show the class, instructor and times outside each studio. When an instructor calls in sick, the front desk changes it from a tablet. See class timetable displays.
Court and pitch bookings
Which court is booked and when it's free
List the day's badminton, squash and tennis courts or pitches in the sports hall corridor, so players find their court without asking.
Cancellations and opening times
Changes on every screen before members get changed
Post a cancelled class to the studio door, gym floor and reception screens in one update. Show pool, gym and sauna hours side by side, and swap in bank holiday times the day before.
Councils and operators
Every site from one dashboard
If you run several centres, push bank holiday hours to every site in one update. See multi-site management.

FAQ
Common questions about digital signage for leisure centres
Does it work near a pool where humidity is high?
The NowBoard Player plugs into the TV you already have, so it sits behind the screen or on a nearby wall. Mount it where pool spray and steam can't reach it.
Can NowBoard connect to our existing lane booking system?
No. You update lane bookings and timetables yourself in the NowBoard app or dashboard.
Do I need to buy new screens?
No. NowBoard works with any TV or monitor that has an HDMI port. You add a NowBoard Player (£149 ex VAT) or Player Pro (£199 ex VAT) per TV, or use the Player App on Android or Google TV devices you own.
Can different staff members manage different screens?
Yes. Your duty manager can run the pool and gym screens while your front desk team edits only the reception displays.
What happens if the wifi drops near the pool hall?
The screen keeps showing the last Board it loaded.
We run several centres across a council area: does NowBoard support that?
Yes. You manage every centre from one dashboard, and you pay per TV, so a new site adds only its own screens. See pricing.
