Everything your board needs to act

The survey is just the beginning. Your portal turns raw responses into tools your association can actually use.

Live Results Dashboard

Charts and summaries update in real time as responses arrive. See severity distribution, top concerns, and month-by-month breakdown at a glance.

Shore & Location Map

Respondents identify which communal areas — beaches, docks, boat landings — they experienced itch at. Combined with property locations from your member roster, the map shows where the problem is most concentrated around the lake.

Shareable Public Page

A clean public URL you can share with residents, local media, or county officials — showing your community's data without exposing individual responses.

Year-Over-Year Tracking

Run the survey each season. Your portal stores every campaign's results, and each survey captures how residents perceive severity compared to prior years — so your dataset builds value over time.

Board-Ready PDF Export

Print or save your full results dashboard as a PDF — charts, maps, and all. Formatted cleanly for board meetings, grant applications, and county permit requests.

Benchmarking Data

See how your lake's itch incidence compares to other association lakes in your state. As more lakes join the SwimmersItch.com network, benchmarks grow more meaningful — showing where you stand relative to lakes managing the same problem.

Common questions

Everything you need to know before signing up.

Who is this for?
Lake associations, property owner groups, and lake district managers who want structured data on swimmer's itch conditions in their community. If you have a mailing list of lake residents, you have everything you need.
Do my members need to create accounts?
No. Your association sends members a private survey link — we'll provide the link for you to distribute however you normally communicate with your members (email, newsletter, Facebook group, etc.). Members click the link, answer 15 questions, and submit. No login, no app, nothing to install.
Is response data private?
Individual responses are private to your association admin. The public results page shows only aggregated, anonymized data — no names, no individual answers. Your members can respond candidly.
Can we customize the survey questions?
The core 15 questions are standardized so your results are comparable across the SwimmersItch.com network. We plan to add optional add-on questions in a future update — get in touch if you have specific questions you'd like to see included.
