We’re back in the water!
It’s been a long time coming but our Transition and Senior squads have been
back in Frome training since 13th April. Hopefully in May we will see our over
18’s back as long as the return to ‘normality’ continues on the right track.
Stages 8-10
The committee have been working behind the scenes to try and secure more
pool time to accommodate our Stages 8-10 swimmers. They have been away
from the pool since the first lockdown over a year ago and it has been a priority
for the club to get them back. Unfortunately, due to restricted pool time,
lockdowns and limited resources we have been unable to manage this under
the strict regulations that we need to operate. However, we have been working
with Downside school in Stratton-on-the-Fosse who have now begun to accept
bookings for their pool. We will be in contact with all our Stages parents to
explain our options and how we take the next steps.
Strength & Conditioning
The squad have been taking part in Strength & Conditioning sessions throughout
lockdown with Corrina Webb. Unfortunately, as lockdown eases Corrina’s other
work commitments mean that the last of these sessions will be on 21st May
2021. We would like to thank her for keeping our swimmers in good shape while
out of the water and hope that we can work together again in the future. The
club are currently looking into possible alternative options to fill this space.
Level X Racing
Swim England’s Level X Series 2 has now begun! This allows our swimmers to
take part in competitive swimming within their club environment and record
their results against other swimmers from other clubs across the country. The
cut off point for results to be recorded is 27th August so the club will be running
several sessions throughout May, June & July to give our swimmers the
opportunity to take part in a variety of different events.
DATES TO REMEMBER
Tuesday 18th May – Over 18’s return to Squad training
Friday 21st May – S&C sessions continue every Friday 5-5:45pm until this date
Sunday 30th May (provisional) – Level X Series 2 session
