A big congratulations shout out to all of the 8’s, 9’s and 10’s Perry Beeches swimmers who took part in yesterday’s Birmingham Water Festival (organised by the Birmingham Swimming Action group).

It’s a great experience for all of them – their first taste of competition.

Just had confirmation that Beeches Pool is open as normal today. All sessions at PBSSS tonight will continue as normal.

Due to problems with the water at Beeches pool, the pool will remain closed for the rest of the afternoon. Therefore all sessions at Perry Beeches SSS have been cancelled for this afternoon. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Any queries please use the Contact us option on this website.

A big PBSSS well done to Harvey Higgins, Jessica Deans and Sophia Deans, who all took part today in the Solihull Aqualthon. An aqualthon is where you swim in a pool, then run outside – the distance in both depends upon your age. A big well done to all of them 🙂
