TRAINING TIMES

Montem Sports Centre is the home of the Club where most of the training takes place. However Eton College and Beechwood School pools are also used. The Chief Coach may decide to add extra training for the swimmers in preparation for a big competition, usually at no cost but sometimes there may be a small charge to cover pool hire.

Are you committed? Are you competitive? Are you willing to train regularly?
We are always looking for new members.

Mondays are Club Night at Montem and everyone is welcome to a free trial swim. Further information is available from the Membership Secretary or from the Contact Us link.

Normal Squad Training Times - NB Swimmers need to arrive by poolside 15 minutes prior to sessions to warm up and stretch in preparation for training.
