🚨 Website Glow-Up Alert! 🚨 The Future of Swimming Lessons

Big Changes, Bigger Benefits; Welcome to the New RKLSwims Era

Hold onto your goggles, folks; we’ve been busy behind the scenes giving the RKLSwims website a serious makeover. Think of it like upgrading from armbands to a full-on butterfly stroke. We’re faster, smoother, more responsive... and just like our swimmers, growing stronger every day. 💪🏽

Here’s what’s new, what’s better, and why this is the swim-school shake-up the UK’s been waiting for. 👇

🌐 A Website That Actually Works (Even on Your Nan’s iPad)

We’ve redesigned every single page to be sleeker, faster, and perfectly suited for any device, no more endless scrolling past giant blank spaces or wondering if your phone is broken. Whether you're on a tablet, mobile, or desktop spaceship, our site now adapts beautifully. It’s like RKL got a digital tan and six-pack.

Oh, and we’ve streamlined all the waffle so you can get what you need fast. Efficiency? That’s the #RKLWay.

🧾 New Terms & Privacy Policy – Because Grown-Up Stuff Matters

Boring but important: we’ve updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to align with:

• Our shiny new systems,

• Our GDPR responsibilities,

• And all the legal must-haves in the UK & EU (you’re welcome, lawyers).

These updates reflect how we handle your data securely, how you access lessons, and how to get the most from our new tech-powered ecosystem. We’ve kept it as clear as possible, no law degree required.

👋 Goodbye Pembee, Hello Soakly — The Future of Swimming Lessons' Booking is here!

That’s right. We’ve officially broken up with Pembee and moved in with our new, all-singing, all-dancing provider: Soakly. 💃🏽🕺🏽It’s cleaner, faster, and honestly... everything Pembee wished it could be.

Check out the new RKLSwims Parent Portal right here:

Why the upgrade? Because this is the change the swimming lesson industry needed, and it starts with RKLSwims.

💻 What’s Soakly Got That Pembee Didn’t?

So glad you asked. Let’s dive in:

🟦 Immediate Lesson Updates – No more wondering what’s going on.

🟦 Badge Progress Tracking – See your swimmer’s achievements in real time.

🟦 Teacher Notes – Direct insight into what your child is working on.

🟦 New Questionnaire – Booking is now easier, especially for first-timers.

🟦 Register System Revamp – Helps us run sessions more smoothly.

🟦 Email Automation – Stay in the loop, always.

🟦 Who's Who Visibility – Know who’s teaching and who’s covering (no more surprises!).

Honestly, if this system had gills, we’d marry it.

✨ SEO Overhaul – So the Internet Actually Finds Us

We’ve tuned up our SEO across every page; it’s like putting a turbo on a tricycle. Google likes us now, and that means new swimmers and families can find us more easily. Growth = more lessons = stronger swimming communities.

📝 Goodbye, Guide Page — Hello, Helpful Questionnaire

We’ve waved goodbye to the Swimming Lesson Guide Page. Why? Because the new booking questionnaire is way more effective, more personalised, and less likely to confuse a new parent at 11 p.m. while holding a crying toddler. 😅

Need it back? We’ll bring it back if demand is high, but for now, let’s keep things sleek.

Here's an example of the brand new questionnaire!

🙋🏽‍♀️ New Teammate Alert: Welcome, Kiera!

The Meet the Team page just got a glow-up, too. We’re thrilled to welcome Kiera to the squad! She’s already making waves, and you’ll love seeing her in action during your lessons.

💬 A Final Word From the Deep End

The swimming industry has been treading water for too long. We’re diving in headfirst to do things differently. With these updates, we're not just "keeping up", we’re leading.

Because let’s be honest:

🏊🏽‍♂️ The RKL Way of Swimming Lessons will be the only way forward.

So if you’re new here, welcome!

If you’ve been with us since the start, thank you for trusting us to grow with you.

Now let’s book those lessons, track those badges, and keep our swimmers moving forward.

👉 Book Now with the New System

👈 Because better lessons start with better systems, and RKLSwims is setting the standard.
