Weds evening 8.30-9.30pm is a technique session, we take new swimmers to the group on the first Weds of each month.

Morning sessions 6am – 7am Mon, Weds and Fri are not coached but coach-led. This means that the training for each session is written up on a whiteboard and each of the 3 double lanes, 2 lots of swimmers each double lane, each lot swims as a group, the lanes are divided on ability/speed.
Wednesdays we have room for 10 swimmers & there is availability for some 1:1 session.
Mondays & Fridays we have room for 20 swimmers. Where possible new swimmers to these morning sessions will need to attend one Weds evening session unless they are experienced club swimmers or have swum with us before.

Endorsements
‘Despite twice weekly sessions with my Triathlon Club, I felt my swimming had plateaued. Like many of us, I watched lots of videos and adopted a self-analysis but sadly to no avail. I decided to contact Lesley and she booked me in for a 45 min session. During that time, she looked at my stroke, body position and immediately found areas that would improve my efficiency in the water. An extremely beneficial 45 minutes! During subsequent swims, I’ve focussed on these areas and found an instant improvement and feel very reassured that my swimming efficiency will continue to improve over the coming weeks and months. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Lesley and I will definitely be drawing upon her experience again to keep my swimming moving forward in the right direction.’
