SwimMark Updates


During a previous Swim England Club Management Group meeting, a decision was made to compile an update following each quarterly meeting (March, June, September and December) and circulate this to all accredited clubs.  Please see below the most recent updates. 

SwimMark Updates December 2019 –

  • SwimMark Portal – Please note that the SwimMark portal is unavailable on the first Wednesday of every month (5-7pm) due to work being undertaken on the Swim England server – we apologies for any inconvenience.
  • Element 13 – A polite reminder that following the launch of the Coaching and Teaching Register, SwimMark clubs must now use information from the Register (i.e. information can be downloaded from the Online Membership System) to populate the coaches/teachers part of Element 13. Information for remaining club personnel should be added to the current Swim England template (or the clubs own document).
    • Please note that information must not be amended once downloaded from the register – submission will be cross-reference against information stored centrally on OMS.
    • Please ensure that DBS and safeguarding dates listed on the OMS report are in date. If any information is missing the ‘Common Questions and Answers‘ sheet will prove useful.
    • In relation to the above, five individuals from each club can access information via OMS. Please refer to the User Guide for additional information.
