Swim School Flyers: Erase Last Term's Lesson Times Before Enrollment

Keep the pool photo, clear burned-in class grids and coach names, then letter this term's schedule for the lobby and Instagram.

The lobby still sells last spring's Saturday beginner slot

Front desk still gets asked about a 9 a.m. tadpole class that moved to 10 because the A4 flyer and the Instagram tile show last term's grid. Rebuilding in Canva from a layered file is ideal. Reality is a flattened JPEG in the shared drive while enrollment opens tonight. Parents screenshot the flyer. They do not open the app first. The job is to keep the pool photo and brand art, erase burned-in lesson times and coach names, and export a blank master you can letter again for the lobby, Stories, and Google. This pass is text removal — not a gym HIIT poster rewrite, and not a background swap of the whole deck.

Brush the grid; leave the water

Upload the existing flyer. Brush only the typed schedule — day columns, start times, "FULL," a coach who left — and let reconstruction fill the lane photo or brand color behind the type. Do not brush the logo lockup or the hero swimmer you intend to keep. If a soft sponsor badge is logo-shaped rather than lettering, leave it or send that one mark to watermark removal; this article stays on schedule text. Zoom to 100% on the former times. You want the water grain to match, not a blurred rectangle where 9:00 used to sit. Watch for stacked type: a late "cancelled" stamp over an older time often leaves a double ghost if you only paint the top line.

Print versus social crops

Lobby prints often target 300 dpi on A4. Export the cleaned master at up to 6000 px on the long edge and 10MB (JPG/PNG/WebP/AVIF). A 1200 px web JPEG cannot become a sharp lobby print. Social needs square and 4:5; export at least 2000 px on the long edge so type you add later stays sharp. A 2400 px JPEG under 4MB typically returns in under 60 seconds. Google Business tiles are smaller: downscale from the same master so the lobby and the map pin do not show two different coaches.

Lettering the blank master

Once the grid is gone, put this term's times in your layout tool, not back in the photo editor. Match the school's type style and margins so the logo still sits on brand. Export A4 PDF for print, 1080×1350 for Instagram, and 1080×1080 for the story cover. Only edit artwork the school owns. Clearing outdated lesson times is normal ops. Lifting another pool's branded flyer is not. Keep a dated folder of blank masters without type so every term change is lettering only.

When enrollment opens and the lobby still shows last spring's tadpole hour, clear the grid, export the master, and hang a flyer that matches the classes parents can actually book.
