Please note that there will be a charge for the day of £5 per swimmer, to be collected on the day.

There are still a limited number of places available. Please contact me as soon as possible if your name is not listed above and you wish to sign up for the day.

As part of the process of analysing swimmers’ strokes video photography may be used during the session. Any parents not wishing to give their consent for this to take place should contact me, either by email or in person, as soon as possible. Parental consent will be assumed to have been given for any swimmers who have signed up on the WP notice board, or who have sent me their name to be listed above. Please note that a version of this portion of the text also appeared on the West Park notice board.

I hope to see a good turnout - this is a great opportunity to kick start the cycle, and make up any fitness you have lost over the Christmas period.

Thanks Catherine Stray
