CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

Parents, swimmers and coaches,

Following the government’s guidelines set out on Monday 16 March 2020 to avoid all unnecessary social gatherings, and with a number of families already in self-isolation, the decision to cancel all training has been taken with immediate effect.

Starting from tonight, Tuesday 17 March 2020.

FEES

From the 1st April please ensure that you have cancelled your standing order for squad fees.  However, the club has other financial obligations as well as pool hire.  We are asking for a nominal monthly fee of £2.50 per swimmer; we appreciate there is no swimming and therefore, this is a voluntary payment.  Please help to support your club.

We will keep everyone updated when we have any further information.

Keep safe
