Closure of Pool

Posted on by

Ringwood pool will be closed for refurbishment from 3rd July until 9th September. Alternative training arrangements have been made for Tuesdays and Fridays between 3rd July and 10th August. There will be no swimming on Sundays during this period or from August 11th until September 11th.

We have arranged for the first session swimmers and lane 5 of session2 to swim at St Ives First School, Sandy Lane, Ringwood, BH24 2EL. Training will concentrate on good technique and sprints. Outside, there are numerous play sites which we may use BUT only under the supervision of a parent and at your own risk. Obviously, we MUST NOT BREAK ANYTHING! No one over 10 must go on the play sites.

The remainder of session 2 and session 3 will have circuit training at Ringwood on Tuesdays and swimming at Ferndown on Fridays (except July 13th). TRAINERS (that do up) MUST BE WORN.

PLEASE DO NOT OPT OUT AS IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR TRAINING CONTINUES. Try to arrange lifts if you have children at different locations. Let us know if you have a problem.

Fun Evening – CANCELLED

Posted on by
I have contacted SnowTrax ski centre (Matchams Lane, near Christchurch) to enquire about a combined 1 hour activity for the children. For £10.25 per child they can have half hour Ski-bobbing (age 6 – adult) and half hour Ringo’s (age 3 – adult). Please see their website for more details.
I am looking at holding this event on Wednesday 25th April 6 – 7pm.
The maximum amount of children (or adults) per activity is 20 (only 40 spaces in total).
If you wish your child (or yourself) to join in this fun activity then please contact me either at Seals (Friday’s only) or by mobile 07880 725682.
I will require a £5.00 deposit per person in order to secure this booking and will need to know by Tuesday 3rd April at the very latest.
I think it will be a great opportunity for the children to mix socially outside of the swimming group. If all goes well I will be looking at other activities to book in the near future.
