Swim training is at Lord Butler Leisure Centre from 3.00-5.00pm, these sessions are run as  an addition to our usual Saturday training at Carver Barracks and hence children are able to run, bike and swim every week as follows:

Groups S ,1 & 2      3.00pm - 4.00pm
Groups F and C:     4.00pm - 5.00pm

Capacity in the 2-hour slot is limited and these sessions are currently full. It is crucial that the children are reasonably competent swimmers because we do not have the time/pool space to teach children to swim. Children must be prepared to commit to the whole term.  We cannot take children on an ad hoc basis.  We also request that all members continue with swim lessons elsewhere.

We have to levy an additional charge for the swimming session as we must cover the hire of the pool and lifeguard fees. The charge equates to £4 per session and is in addition to the termly fee for the Saturday run/bike sessions at Carver Barracks. Invoicing will be made in the same way as Saturday session fees, by PayPal.

If you would like your child to be added to the waiting list for the swim sessions, please email our Membership Secretary Erica Redfern.  When a place becomes available, you will be contacted and your child invited in for a trial session.

 

 

 

These training session are invitation only  and are held weekly at the Lord Butler Leisure Centre.

The aim of the training is to build endurance and improve technique and will be more demanding than the normal Sunday swim sessions.

The session is limited to 12  and costs £4 per session which is invoiced in advance for the the whole term.  

Autumn 2023 Term - sessions run weekly from 13th September through until 13th December

 

Regular Saturday training is primarily at Carver barracks, Wimbish just out of Saffron Walden,  during school term times.  We do use other training venues for either away days or when we are not able to use the barracks.  

Saturday training is a combination of bike & run and transition skill training.

Carver barracks (Directions). This provides an excellent opportunity to cycle on tarmac or off road on mountain bikes in a safe car free environment where group riding can be coached and cornering skills practiced.
