Our Current Swim Timetable
Additional notes for Swim Training Sessions:
There are three main core swimming sessions, Sunday, Tuesday and Friday evenings.
There are two main types of club training membership offered to our swimmers, one session per week or three sessions per week.
Swimmers who attend one session/week are generally development swimmers and will attend the Sunday session 3 till 4pm, where the pool is staffed and set up to cater for this.
Squad swimmers and those Competitive Development swimmers who have committed to taking the next step towards competing will attend the three main sessions/week, these being Sunday (3 till 4pm and 4 till 6pm dependant on group), Tuesday (7 till 8pm and 8 till 9pm dependant on group) and Friday (6:30 till 7:30pm and 7:30 till 9pm dependant on group). These three session per week swimmers are classed as full paying members and as such currently enjoy access to a further additional sessions (subject to availability and ability confirmed by their coach), these being Monday and Wednesday evenings (7.30 to 9.00pm).
These additional sessions are funded by the club in order to promote and develop the competitor in achieving County, Regional and National level qualification. They are also available to full paying u18 polo members (subject to availability and ability confirmed by their coach).
