Apologies for the short notice. We have just been informed that, due to staff shortages and no lifeguards in the building, the 4:00 - 6:00pm session at Haverhill LC this afternoon will have to be cancelled. Therefore, there will be no training for Competitive, Development or Masters squad swimmers.

Sorry for the inconvenience. This is obviously out of our control.

URGENT: Training Cancellation at Culford - Thursday 16th April PM & Friday 17th April AM

Apologies for the short notice. We have just been informed that the pool at Culford Sports & Tennis Centre is currently out of action whilst they are doing some works on it. These works include some re-titling, re-grouting, installing a new pool cover and cleaning out the balance tanks. During these works, unfortunately the chemical levels have increased and so they have had to close the pool. These works will continue overnight and so the pool will be closed in the morning as well. For that reason, there will be no training this evening (Thursday 16th April) for any squad at Culford and also tomorrow morning (Friday 17th April).

Training should go ahead as normal from Saturday 18th April AM at Culford, but any further cancellations will be communicated.

Training Cancellation: Friday 13th March AM at Culford

As some of you may be aware, Culford have experienced a number of power cuts this evening due to the weather. Every time there is a power cut, the pool pumps go off, and need to be manually started again. The power cuts have continued this evening and so to be on the safe side, with the likelihood being high that it will happen overnight, we will cancel tomorrow morning (Friday 13th) at Culford, to avoid an early wake up for a potential wasted journey in.

As an alternative option, the Competitive squad can train tomorrow evening alongside Development squad at Bury Leisure Centre from 5:00 - 6:15pm if they wish to.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

URGENT: Cancellation at Culford - Wednesday 4th February AM

Apologies for the late notice. The pH levels have been causing an issue at Culford Sports & Tennis Centre today. The pool was opened and closed on and off, with sessions cancelled this evening when the pH levels went too high. The pool reopened for members before the building closed. The final reading of the night had the pH levels too high and so the pool would have been closed again. As per the club policy, and to be on the safe side, the training sessions for Competitive and Development squads in the morning will be cancelled.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
