The club’s AGM will take place on Wednesday 17^th June at 19:00 in the lobby at Beeches Pool.

This is your opportunity to hear how the club is running (both financially and numbers), to share new developments and ideas for the future and see which of the volunteers are happy to stand (or restand) for committee positions.

The club is run by volunteers – if you wish to help out in any way please talk to someone at the sweetie desk at Beeches or contact Elaine Gale (Workforce coordinator) for advice via volunteer@perrybeechesswimming.co.uk.

Please note – Only fully paid up members who have reached their 16th birthday on or before the date of the AGM and volunteers (who are category 1, 2 or 3 ASA members) are entitled to make nominations or vote on all matters.

Due to the success of the club in the last few months, and the number of new learn to swim members who have joined us, we have several widths classes that are currently full.

This means it is no longer possible to automatically be able to attend a different class to the one you normally attend (it will depend on the alternative group’s class size).

If you wish your child to swim in a different group please contact us or speak to the teachers/ committee members at the pool.
