1.Occasional timetable and venue changes may be called at times without notice.

3. The happiest and most successful swimmers are those that own the sport very early and can link their own little success stories to their independent effort. Opportunities for this are presented through time management, self-changing, taking care of own equipment, making friends, being part of a team, developing a healthy competitive spirit etc.
Parents and guardians can support this by allowing the child to take this up. Granted, the very young ones may initially need a little help to change. We however discourage parents from camping at the pooside whilemaintainingan opendoor policy with thes
