Creating a Class
How to create a recurring swim class with a fixed schedule, location, instructor, and capacity.
Last updated 29 May 2026
A class is a recurring swim lesson that takes place at a fixed day and time — for example, every Monday at 10:10 in Amsterdam Bad 1. When you create a class, the system automatically generates individual lessons up to one year ahead and continues scheduling them after each lesson occurs.
Create a new class
- Go to Classes & Lessons
- Click + Create class (top right)
- Fill in the required fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Program | Select the swim program (e.g. Diploma A). The lesson fee is inherited from the program. |
| Fee | Pre-filled from the program. You can override it for this specific class. |
| Start date | The date of the first lesson. |
| End date | Leave blank for an ongoing class. Fill in only if the class has a defined end date (e.g. a seasonal course). |
| Day | The day of the week the class recurs (Monday through Sunday). |
| Start time / End time | The lesson time. |
| Location | Select the pool or facility. |
| Fixed spots | Maximum number of students allowed in this class. |
| Instructors | Search for and select one or more instructors. |
| Class name | A descriptive name. Click Generate to auto-create a name based on the fields above. |
| Colour | A hex colour for display in the system. |
- Click Save
The class now appears in the Classes & Lessons list, and all upcoming lessons are visible under the Lessons tab.
Automatic lesson scheduling
When you save a class, lessons are immediately added to the calendar for the next 12 months. After each lesson occurs, the next lesson is automatically scheduled — keeping the calendar filled a year ahead without any manual action.
Tip: If you need to cancel or modify a single upcoming lesson (e.g. due to a bank holiday), you can edit individual lessons from the Lessons tab. This does not affect the rest of the recurring schedule.
Class status indicators
In the class list, each class shows a coloured dot and a status badge:
- Green dot + "X open spots" — the class has capacity available.
- Orange dot + "Full" — all fixed spots are taken. As an administrator you can override this, but the system won't suggest to add students here.
Editing a class
Click the pencil icon next to any class in the list to edit its details. Changes to the class definition apply to all future lessons.
