From October 3rd, we will be introducing a viewing schedule that will enable a parent or guardian the opportunity to view a lesson and see the progress children are making in the water.

To ensure we are aligned to the teaching pool capacities viewing of the lesson programme has been created on a rotational basis. The viewing schedule will enable a parent the opportunity to view a lesson on a 5-week rotational basis. However, due to the capacities of the teaching pool environment one adult per swimmer will be able to view the swimming lesson.

The viewing schedule will align with your child’s advertised swim teacher, the schedule for the first three weeks is below.

There are no changes to the current arrival or end processes of swimming lessons, however, if it is your lesson to spectate, please wait at the usual drop-off point, when you arrive with your child for their lesson if you are scheduled to view, the Swim Teacher will call you forward to take a seat in the teaching pool area.

Thank you for your continued support and patience regarding the re-introduction of spectators to our teaching pool environment.

On 3 July 2023 the login process for the Newport Live App and Website will be updated

We will be transitioning from a 4-digit PIN to a more robust and secure complex password requirement. Moving forward, your password must meet all the following criteria:

• It must contain a minimum of 8 characters.
• It must include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.
• It must contain at least one number.
• It must include at least one symbol.

By implementing this upgraded password policy, we aim to enhance the security measures surrounding your Newport Live account and ensure that only authorised individuals have access.
 
Next Steps
You will be required to update your password accordingly when prompted to do so. This will ensure a seamless transition and provide uninterrupted access to our wide range of digital services where you can make changes to your bookings and reservations. 
 
We appreciate your co-operation in adopting these improved security measures, as they contribute to a safer online environment for you as a valued customer.
