Sessions
Below is a summary of our weekly training sessions. Some are seasonal with start/finish dates listed where this is the case. There are occasions where sessions need to be cancelled or start time changed, sometimes at short notice so, you should frequently visit our online training calendar where details for every session are kept bang upto date.
At key times some sessions can become crowded such as in January and February just after the new membership year begins. If the lead coach for the session believes that the health and safety of members could be at risk they can limit access to the session. This will be done on a first come first served basis. It is rare that this sitatuation occurs but if it does please respect the decision of the coach. To help this situation, we have graded each swim session as suitable for beginners, improvers, advanced or a combintation of levels. This helps limit the spread of abilities at each session and enables more members to swim effectively in each lane. We have also introduced an additional Friday morning swim at Moss Side for advanced swimmers to ease the pressure on Friday eveings at Stretford.
