University of Kent Swimming Club We are the University of Kent's Swimming Club! We cater to everyone, from those looking to swim comp Welcome to the University of Kent Swimming Club!

If you enjoy swimming, socialising, keeping fit or competing we are the best club for you! Our sessions cater to everyone! Swimming Schedule:

We offer sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Due to Covid, we have to restrict our numbers as follows and sessions must be booked in advance:

12 swimmers 9-10pm

Thursdays (competitive swimmers only, from 01.10.2020

)
8 swimmers 7:30-8:30pm

We train at King’s Recreation Centre Pool, which is 25m long and has six lanes with starting blocks. For the first 2 weeks of term we offer a walk-down service to the pool from outside venue, departing half an hour before the start of the session. For those looking to swim competitively, we provide the opportunity to compete at BUCS in Sheffield and against our rivals, Canterbury Christchurch University. Membership Fees:

We are one of the cheapest sports clubs on campus. We offer 3 yearly membership rates:

Social membership £20 –allows you to be a part of the club and attend our socials but does not give you access to the pool. Non-competitive membership: £45 –allows you access to the pool during our sessions and to our socials. Competitive membership: £65 – for competitive swimmers only. Time trials will be held from the second week of term so let us know if you’re interested! Our pool memberships only allow access to the pool during our allocated sessions. Socials and Galas:

We host a wide variety of socials throughout the year and would love for you to join us! (Due to Covid, all socials are currently on-hold but please like our page to keep in the loop about virtual socials!)

Hi Swimmers!

Starting from this week, we will be holding landtraining on Monday’s from 7-8pm at Featherstone dance studio (above Woody’s). Both competitive and non-competitive members are welcome to come and along and join in! Hope to see you there.

The sign-up sheet for the swimming sessions this week is below:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DVnAZQadMfV43I-UOCLM7IUBuM2TRfI78959t0tgTLs/edit?usp=sharing

We will be checking that people have bought their memberships and that they have signed up for the session. So please make sure you have done both of these things before the session – otherwise we will have to turn you away (which we don’t want to do!).

The swimming hats have also arrived, and we will be selling these for £5 at training. Please bring cash if you want to buy one, as we have no way to take card.

Love,
Lucy and the committee x

Hi swimmers!

Please keep an eye on your emails as you should be receiving one from us soon regarding memberships, swimming sessions, and the social this week.

This email will contain the sign up sheet for the sessions. If you have not received this, drop us a message!

Just a quick reminder that Time Trials will be held TONIGHT 7:30-8:30pm at Kings School Recreation Centre. If you want to be in the competitive team, come along to try out! No need to sign up. See you then!

Hi everyone!

Taster sessions will take place this Tuesday 28th September and Tuesday 5th October at 8:30-9:30pm. Below is a link to the sign-up sheet for these sessions. Please only put your name down for one of the dates, and state whether you are interested in the competitive or non-competitive membership (just so we have a rough idea, you can change your mind later). If the sessions become full, we will try and arrange another taster session, so you all get a chance to try the sessions out for free before deciding if you want to buy a membership or not.

We swim at the Kings School Recreation Centre (1 St Stephens Road, Canterbury, Kent, CT2 7HU). We offer a walk down service to show you how to get to the pool – meet us outside The Venue at 8pm. If you live off campus and would prefer to meet us at the pool, that is fine. However, the road outside of the Centre is closed next Tuesday 28th September, so you will not be able to park in the Centre car park if you are driving.

The Centre still has some rules in place to try to minimize the risk of spreading Covid. Please do not attend the session if you have any symptoms or have tested positive for Covid, or if you have been in close contact with someone who has Covid. Do not enter the Centre until 5 minutes before the session starts – if you are meeting us at the pool for the sessions, please wait outside. Arrive swim ready with your swimwear on underneath your clothes, and ensure all belongings are placed in lockers – not left on benches. The Centre also still asks for people to wear masks upon entry, and to check in to their Track and Trace.

We cannot wait to see you all! If you have any questions, feel free to get in contact with us.
