Swimming Lessons with Katie

14/10/2020

Hi. I hope you're keeping well. I've finally had communication from the pool regarding the reopening. Although the pool is now open they are having to run hour long lane only sessions followed by a sanitizing break and there is much more limited availability. Also swimmers are not allowed to stop at the ends of the pool either. As a result they are not allowing one to one lessons at present. I've made the decision to review the position again in January as it seems unlikely that there will be many big changes to this now before Christmas. I'd recommend making alternative swimming arrangements if you can in the meantime. Some pools are doing family sessions I believe and there are group lessons available at many local pools too. I teach at Rothwell Swimming Club which is a teaching club and that will be restarting once the pool opens so I can keep anyone posted on progress with that who is interested. It's also unclear what timetables will look like when things do go back to normal, but going forward evening lessons won't be available unless after 7.30. Once we are clear to back and timetables are issued I can get in touch with current evening swimmers individually to arrange new times. In the meantime, keep safe and well and I'll see you all soon.

I've just seen from a reliable source that the pool won't be open until September. Given that it will be the summer holidays anyway I won't be looking for an alternative pool whilst Ketteting is closed. I will update again if the pool replies to me.

25th July pools are allowed to reopen 🥳 I can't confirm yet when our local pools will be open, but I've contacted them to find out and will keep you updated. Lessons with me won't be starting so soon, but I will keep in touch.

Hi everyone. During my outdoor swim today I was thinking about what my next swimming targets should be and that while we are away from the pool it's a good time to focus and have a think about what you'd like to achieve next. I'd love to hear your goals! 🏊🏻‍♀️💪

Following this latest advice from Swim England I have taken the decision to cancel swimming lessons until further notice. Although this guidance is aimed mainly towards clubs, my sessions are run in public sessions and therefore the risks may well be the same. It's so important to protect our health and that of our nearest and dearest. I'll keep you all posted and swimmers will be notified shortly.

The 500m swim is open to 12 years + and would be a great introduction to open water swimming for all ages.

Fancy trying open water swimming in 2020?

Our 'mini' (500m) course is perfect for those first time open water swimmers.

What a great New Years Resolution! 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

2020's almost here so it's the perfect time to start setting yourself some swimming goals. This year I'm determined to create more events involving experiences away from "lesson time" for my swimmers. Its so important to try out and experience new things and you can learn and practice so much without even realising you're doing it. Let me know if you can think of anything to add to the list! 😁🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️
