Simplify Club and Swim School Administration

Get ready for the new school term with a faster, simpler way to manage your swim programme.

The Real Challenge of School Swimming Administration

Every September, leisure operators brace for the same chaos. Pupil lists arrive late, registers are incomplete, reports are missing, and inboxes are overflowing. With paper-based processes and disconnected systems, it’s no wonder swim school teams spend more time chasing information than delivering lessons.

If that sounds familiar, the School Swimming Module is designed for you.


Built for Operators. Tested by Active Leeds. 

Currently being tested by Active Leeds, our Early Adopter, the School Swimming Module gives your team and local schools one secure, central place to manage everything:

  • Schools upload pupil lists directly into the system

  • Timetables, attendance and progress are visible in real time

  • Reports are ready to share with councils, Swim England or funding partners

  • GDPR-compliant access means data stays protected

  • Schools get self-service tools, reducing emails and admin tasks for your staff

No more spreadsheets. No more chasing. Just a smoother way to run your swim programme.


Everyday Struggles the Module Solves

Chasing lists instead of teaching?

Now, schools upload their own data. You log in and it's all there: complete and up to date.

Missing swimmer progress messing with your KPIs?

Live assessments mean accurate data. Reports are always ready when you need them.

Worried about GDPR?

Role-based permissions let staff see only what they need. The front desk stays compliant without compromising support.

Answering the same questions every term?

With school self-service, staff no longer need to chase your team. They can check schedules, update lists and view progress reports themselves.

Disconnected systems causing confusion?

Everything works together in one platform. Lesson delivery, communications and reporting are all connected.


A Smarter Way to Improve Access to Swimming

One in three children in the UK leaves primary school unable to swim 25 metres. That’s a national concern, and it puts pressure on leisure teams to deliver high-quality, structured swimming programmes.

At Gladstone, we believe every child should have the chance to learn to swim, and that starts with making your operations easier to manage. This module helps remove the admin burden, so your team can focus on impact, not paperwork.

Your Questions Answered

Is the School Swimming Module part of GoLearn?

Yes, it's a new feature available within Go Learn (v3). If you're already using Go Learn, it's live in your TEST environment(s) and ready to explore. If you're not already using Go Learn, you can find out about upgrading to it here.

 

How do I switch it on in our live system?

Simply click here, fill out your details, and we will be in touch to push it to your live environment. 

Can schools manage their own lists and reports?

Yes. Each school gets its own login to upload pupil data, view timetables, track attendance, and monitor progress - without needing to email your team. 

What about data protection and GDPR?

The module is designed with privacy in mind. Only approved staff can view pupil information, and your front-of-house team can only see anonymised data. 

Will this work across our different leisure centres?

Definitely. The module is built to scale across multi-site operations, helping you deliver a consistent, connected programme whether you work with schools, swim clubs or both.
