Handsworth baths have a temperature problem and have closed their pool.
We will therefore need to do the following:
Diddy Group session will be one hour for tonight – 19:00 – 20:00
Handsworth beginners lengths may swim at Beeches if they would like to – 18:00 – 19:00
Seniors and Masters can then train at Beeches from 20:00 – 21:30
Handsworth hope to be open as normal for our Thursday sessions.
Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
Congratulations to Abigail Turner, who has been appointed as the new Chief Instructor at Perry Beeches SSS.
Abigail, who in her ‘normal life’ is a school teacher is an experienced swimming teacher, and will be a valuable asset to the club.
Abby will be assessing the Learn To Swim sessions, and ensuring that the National Plan for swimming is being followed throughout the club.
The future is bright – the future is Beeches!
Report to follow soon……..
Handsworth Baths have just contacted us to say that they have a problem with the lighting and have had to cancel tonight’s sessions.
Beeches baths have been very accomodating, and we have three lanes there tonight – session times same as normal Thursday night times. Many thanks to the staff at Beeches pool.
