To all Sunday Learn to Swimmers
Unfortunately we have decided to cancel next Sunday’s session. As you know, the majority of our lane teachers are competitive swimmers or water polo players. Next Sunday there is an away water polo match & the Wiltshire County swimming championships. Coupled with a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award weekend, we have not enough volunteers available to cover this session.
We apologise for the short notice on this

As the weather has not worsened (despite some snow flurries at the moment) i aim to get to Godolphin tonight. However i am weary of the late finish and icy conditions at that time of night. Therefore i propose we run the session from 6.15-8.15pm. With Masters planning to use their two lanes the plan will be as follows:
6.15-7.15pm – Elite 1 and Elite 2
7.15-8.15pm – Elite 1, Elite 2, Junior Development, Senior Performance and Senior Club
I have spoken with the pool manager who informs me that the paths are icy and there will be no maintenance staff on site after 6pm. As the only access is via one of two hills which are “passable” i would use your common sense, if you have a long drive or it is still treacherous by you do not come.
Saturday AM training is definitely running from 7-9am as the pool have informed me that they will be opening. From then on we have to play it by ear as more heavy snow is predicted for Sunday and Monday. I will keep you informed via email and the website.
Apologies for all of the inconvenience caused by the Great British Weather

Due to an electrical fault in the pool and the bad weather Five Rivers Leisure Centre are closing at 5pm, therefore there will be no swimming tonight (Thursday 7th January) as tomorrow night’s session is at Godolphin (up a big hill) i will keep you informed via email and the website.
In addition those entered in the Basingstoke open meet – at the moment they are still are still planning to go ahead with the meet as Basingstoke Leisure Park has easy access from main roads. However is this changes i will inform you asap.
Those entered in the Long Distance Time Trials at Bath on Sunday – i am currently chasing the organisers to find out whether this will be going ahead. Again i will let you know asap.
