Pool Closure

We have been notified by Medina Leisure Centre that due to the unexpected condition of the swimming pool roof, the pool will be closed from 6am-3pm Monday-Friday next week (17-21 July).

As a result our morning training is cancelled. Evening sessions are expected to go ahead.

We are also expecting sessions to continue on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 July ahead of the summer break

Summer Break

As we get near the end of the school term ready for the summer break some confirmed dates for your diary:

The last weekend of lessons is this week (8th/9th July).

Lessons will start again on the 2nd / 3rd September. As we have had a bit of a disrupted block of lessons this time we will contact everyone to confirm their / groups times for the new swimming year as we towards the end of the summer holidays.

Squads will continue through to July 23rd. The pool closes for a week on the 24th July so we cannot train any longer than this date.

We are hoping to run some Wednesday morning sessions in last 3 weeks of August but will confirm this as soon as we have the pool booked.

Swim England have brought in new rules that the Team Manager qualification is required by anyone wishing to be on poolside for the Nationals and it is being filtered down to Open Meets etc.  
 
The course is the ‘Team Managers 1 & 2’ and is completed as a 1-off course. It does not need to be repeated or renewed.
