Common Questions

Does Swum work for swim schools in the UK?

Yes. A UK swim school or swimming teacher can connect a UK payout account, set prices in pounds and take card payments from families. Parents can book on the web, and the Swum app is on the UK App Store.

Can parents pay in pounds?

Yes. Set your pricing currency to GBP and parents see and pay prices in pounds. Each Swum account uses one currency.

Does Swum collect payments by Direct Debit?

Not at the moment. Parents pay by card. If Direct Debit is essential for your school, tell us before you switch so you know where it stands.

Can I track Swim England or STA stages in Swum?

Swum does not come with a national programme built in. You create your own levels and milestones, so you can set them up to match the stages and awards your school already teaches.

What should a UK swim school know before switching to Swum?

Swum was built in the United States, and a few things are still American today: dates show the month first with a 12-hour clock, the app uses American spelling, and text messages are not available for UK mobile numbers, so families get emails and app notifications instead. Swum’s own plans are listed in US dollars, and Swum does not calculate VAT on your lessons.
