We have managed to arrange an alternative swimming venue, while the roof at Bedworth is being replaced. The swim will take place at Foxford School at our usual time of Friday night, 6pm-7pm, starting on Friday 17th January. We are asking members to pay £2 each, towards the pool hire each week.

Directions:From Bedworth Leisure Centre continue along Coventry Road – throught the lights at Bayton Road, then turn left down Blackhorse Road. The road turns right at a mini roundabout and continues to another mini roundabout and into Grange Road.

Apologies for the short notice, but we will do our best to let all of our members know.

Hi Sheila,

If you are lifeguarding this yourselves then we can hire the pool out to you on Fridays from 6-7pm for the period you need.   Hire of the pool will be £50 per hour.  I am just trying to make contact with one of our site managers who usually deals with the pool / lessons etc to check all is ok, his name is Ryan and he is the best one for you to speak with.  I would be the one who invoices you and takes payment.  I look forward to further correspondence with you.

If enough swimmers are interested we have enough trained lifeguards (Sheila, Sheena and new helper Megan). We would probably need to charge £2 for each member to reduce the cost to the club.

Maybe we should swim alternate weeks?

Feedback URGENTLY NEEDED PLEASE.

Would you want to swim?

Would you be prepared to pay a small fee for each session?

Sheila

We have been making enquires regarding an alternative swimming venue for our club sessions, while the pool at Bedworth is closed.

Good Afternoon,

Apologies for the delay in responding.  Unfortunately our pool is in constant use during the evening with the City of Coventry Training Club.  They have just arranged a new session on a Friday evening, as up to Christmas the pool was not used at this time.

I am sorry that I have not been able to help you on this occasion.

Hello Sheila,

The best time we could do to match what you’re doing would be 7.30pm – 8.30pm on a Friday evening? That would be in our Aqua pool which is 12m x 12m with a moveable floor. Alternatively if you wanted the main pool we would have to look at a Saturday evening between 5pm and 10pm.

I have asked for details of hire fees for the Hinckley Sessions.

We will keep everyone updated.

Happy New Year and welcome back to all of our members.

Well done to William Newton, who swam 5 metres for a badge and certificate on 3rd January 2014.
