Click here to go to the portal.
You can use the ‘Forgotten password’ button on the portal homepage. If you encounter any problems with this please email clubdevelopment@swimming.org and we’ll look into things.
The portal accepts standard formats such as Word and Excel, in addition to picture files such as .gif and .jpeg. If you have the ability to PDF documents it would be useful to limit storage.
The maximum size for any document on the portal is 15MB – if you exceed this you will see an error message.
The club may have clicked ‘save’ instead of ‘submit’ – please click submit and it should then appear. If you are trying to view evidence from a previous years submission please make sure you are in the correct accreditation period rather than ‘in progress’ in the dropdown accreditation box.
Please email clubdevelopment@swimming.org for support with the online system.
The portal links directly to the Swim England membership database. Accurate membership data should be available for affiliated clubs. If you can’t find a specific membership in the first instance please ensure you are in the ‘users’ tab and then hit the ‘refresh’ button. If you still have issues please contact clubdevelopment@swimming.org.
Please note that Google Chrome and Firefox appear to function better when using the portal and we’d therefore recommend that you download these if you encounter any problems.
