Hi everyone,

I am pleased to report that from Wednesday 2nd September our training sessions will all return to the Wigan Life Centre. There are a few changes in the schedule so please check the sessions and times carefully that you will be swimming.

One parent will also now be allowed to stay and watch their child as long as they adhere to social distancing in the viewing gallery and the pool advises:

The use of face coverings is recommended in the viewing areas. Space is limited so if you feel it is too busy, we advise you wait in your car and return just before the end of the lesson so that you can stay socially distanced.’

Swimmers are still to arrive ‘beach ready’ with their swimwear on underneath their clothing to minimise the time spent in the changing rooms. Parents of swimmers eight and over should not enter the changing rooms and parents of swimmers younger than this are asked not to congregate in the changing rooms either before or after the sessions and no viewing is allowed from the changing room entrances at any time.

We also still need to allow transition time between the sessions so please do not arrive or come onto the poolside until your session time begins.

If you have any questions, concerns or worries please get in touch. By continuing to observe the guidance and coaches instructions we will keep our swimmers and your families as safe as possible.
