Schools

A group of keepers of your own: joining, roles, the Cove and School chat.

What a school is

A school is a group of up to 20 keepers who swim together. It has a name, an emblem built from painted parts and a language, and every school has its own small Cove in Open Water.

Following a keeper does not put you in their school, and being in a school does not make you follow anyone. You are in one school at a time, and you can leave whenever you like: everything that is yours stays yours.

Joining or founding one

From level 10, signed in, open the School app in the Menu or tap the School Board in the Kelp Garden. Schools with room are listed with your language first. An open school takes you at once; for an ask-to-join school an Elder or the Founder says yes, and a request waits a week. Invite-only schools take the keepers they invite.

From level 15 you can found a school for 10,000 coins: choose its name, a shape, a symbol and two colours for its emblem, its language and how keepers join.

Founder, Elders and Members

Each school has one Founder, up to 4 Elders and its Members.

  • The Founder names the school, changes its emblem, language and joining, chooses the Elders, can hand the school over and can close it with 48 hours' notice.
  • Elders accept requests, invite keepers, write the motto and the notice board, remove Members and can hide a School chat line for a moderator or mute someone there for a day.
  • A Founder not seen for 14 days hands over by themselves to the Elder seen most recently, or else the longest-standing member. No role ever touches another keeper's coins, items, fish or aquarium.

The Cove

Swim through the School Coves gate in the Kelp Garden, or choose Swim to the Cove in the School app, to enter your school's Cove. Only its members are seated there, up to 12 at a time, like every place in Open Water.

Its banner flies the school's emblem; tap it to open the school. The notice board shows the motto and the Elders' notice.

School chat

School is a lane in the chat beside Room, Reef and Whisper. Members see its lines wherever they are. It goes through the same checks as every line, a block works both ways inside a school, and lines are kept a week.

Staying safe

School names, mottos and notices are checked before anyone sees them, and you can report any of them from the school's card. A school never asks for your password or your things, and nobody can take them.
