About Club Locarno.
Club Locarno is a non-profit, member-run watersports club based at the Jericho Sailing Centre on English Bay, Vancouver. The club offers dinghy and catamaran sailing, kayaking, ocean rowing, stand-up paddleboarding, and windsurfing to its members, alongside lessons, clinics, and social events.
As a volunteer-run organisation, Club Locarno depends on its website and online member management systems to handle registrations, lesson sign-ups, event bookings, and club-wide communications, making continuous availability essential.

What challenges does Club Locarno face?
For a volunteer-run club, downtime on the website or member portal has an outsized impact. Members rely on the site to register for lessons, book equipment check-outs, sign up for trips, and stay informed about club activities, and the small team of technology volunteers can't watch the systems around the clock.
Club Locarno needed a way to catch outages and performance issues the moment they happened, without adding to the workload of its volunteers. They adopted UptimeRobot to automate that monitoring and provide a reliable early-warning system for service disruptions.
Key outcomes of the partnership.
With UptimeRobot running continuous checks on the website and key system endpoints, Club Locarno's technology volunteers are alerted the moment something goes down, often allowing issues to be resolved before members notice.
Automated monitoring around the clock
UptimeRobot performs regular checks on Club Locarno's website and member services, providing instant alerts whenever availability or performance drops.
Less burden on volunteers
By automating uptime tracking and reporting, UptimeRobot removes the need for manual checks, letting the club's volunteer team focus on members and on-water activities instead of system babysitting.
Club Locarno's most valued UptimeRobot features.
Email notifications
Instant email alerts let Club Locarno's technology volunteers know the moment the website or a key endpoint becomes unavailable, so issues can be addressed before they affect members.
Mobile app
The UptimeRobot mobile app lets volunteers monitor club services, receive push notifications, and manage everything on the go. This is especially useful for a team that's often out on the water.
