Smart Swimming Gear Locker Vending Machine for Pools & Aquatic Centers — Self-Service Rental & Retail for Goggles, Swim Caps

The Pool Is Ready. The Gear Isn't.

It happens more often than you'd think. A swimmer arrives at the pool, changes into their kit, and realizes they've left their goggles at home. Or their swim cap. Small items, big inconvenience — and for venue operators, that moment of frustration often ends one of two ways: a rushed request at the front desk, or a customer who simply skips the session entirely.
During peak hours, front desk staff are already stretched. Manually handling rental requests, tracking who borrowed what, and managing returns on top of everything else is a daily drain on time and attention. And when the desk is unmanned? Those sales disappear completely.
Our swimming gear locker vending machine removes every one of those friction points — for swimmers and operators alike.

How the Pre-Authorization Rental Works

Step 1 — Select Your Item Customers browse available swimming gear on the 21.5-inch touch screen — viewing product details, availability, and pricing before making their selection.

Step 2 — Authorize Payment Payment is made by card or mobile wallet. A deposit is pre-authorized and temporarily frozen in the customer's account — no charge is made at this stage.

Step 3 — Collect Your Gear The corresponding locker compartment unlocks automatically. The customer collects their goggles, swim cap, or accessory along with a receipt containing a unique return code.

Step 4 — Return Your Item After use, the customer enters the return code on the touch screen and places the item back into the designated compartment.

Step 5 — Automatic Settlement The system calculates the rental duration and charges accordingly. Any remaining deposit balance is automatically refunded to the customer's account — fully transparent, fully automated, no staff involvement required.

Features That Make the Difference

Rental & Retail in One Machine

The locker vending machine supports both sales and rental within the same unit. Operators can sell disposable items like swim caps alongside rentable reusable gear such as goggles — all through a single self-service interface. One machine, two revenue streams, zero complexity.

Customizable Locker Compartments

Locker size and layout can be configured to accommodate the full range of swimming accessories — from individually packaged swim caps and goggle cases to folded towels and bundled accessory sets. Every compartment is organized, hygienic, and assigned to a specific transaction for accurate tracking.

21.5-Inch Touch Screen — Clear, Intuitive, Informative

The large touch screen displays full product details for every item in the machine — including whether an item is available to buy or rent, pricing, and product specifications. Swimmers make informed decisions quickly and independently, without needing to find a staff member to ask.

24/7 Self-Service — No Staff, No Queues

Whether it's an early morning lap session or a late-night swim, the machine serves customers at any hour without front desk involvement. Peak-hour pressure is reduced, off-hours sales are captured automatically, and the rental process runs seamlessly from selection to return without a single manual step.

Remote Inventory Management — Always Stocked, Always Selling

Operators monitor stock levels, track rental activity, and receive low-inventory alerts through the cloud dashboard — accessible from any device. Popular items are restocked before they run out, and inventory decisions are driven by real sales data rather than guesswork.

Pre-Authorization Rental Protection

Rental transactions are secured through a pre-authorization deposit held before the locker opens. Upon return, the system settles automatically — protecting operators from unreturned items without any manual deposit handling or follow-up.
