Competitive Diving
We have been using a lane in the Sunday morning session for coaching children towards their Competitive Diving award. Unfortunately, due to the large number of swimmers that now attend on Sundays, we need all the lanes for general training. If you have been attending these sessions, please keep on coming along to Sunday morning sessions.
From now on, Competitive Diving coaching will take place on Friday evenings. Swimmers in session 1 will be asked to stay on for 30-45 minutes to complete the programme. This should take 4-6 weeks. Carole will let you know when it’s your child’s turn. Please do not attend unless invited. If you can only come for part of this extra session, please let Anne or Carole know.
Monday Training Session
From September, for a trial period, the Leisure Centre has granted us a single lane from 6.30pm to 7.30pm. We are currently deciding how to use this session but it will probably be used for swimmers who cannot attend one of the other regular sessions during the week.
Attendance
Children currently in the first three lanes of session 1 should be attending at least two sessions per week. Those in the top lanes in session 1, and all those in session 2, should be attending all three sessions. If your child is away for longer than three sessions without notification, we cannot guarantee that their place in the lane will be held for them.
Noticeboard
We have a new, extra large, noticeboard. Please read it regularly! Even if your child is not in galas, there are social events and other issues you should be aware of.
Floats and Paddles
The Club has given a float to every swimmer in the 2nd and 3rd session and hand paddles are being given out this week. They will also be receiving a net bag to keep all the equipment in.
Badges and Certificates
All badges and certificates are now FREE! If your child has been awarded a badge or certificate, collect it from Kaye Eyre, who is now looking after our Swim Shop. She is normally upstairs during 1st sessions and can be contacted by email.
