1st Swim School

No lessons for the time being but this will not be forever. Wishing everyone all the best during this difficult time. Keep safe.

It is with regret that we are having to cancel our lessons at St Wilfrid’s school pool for the time being. West Sussex County Council has made this decision and, of course, we must comply if this is deemed the best way to avoid the spread of Covid-19.

We have yet to hear any updates from Hurstpierpoint College but will keep all clients informed if Friday lessons do have to be cancelled.

Keep safe, and fingers crossed that we get back to normality soon.

1st Swim School is following advice from Public Health England with regard to Coronavirus.

If in any doubt about sending your child along to swimming lessons please contact the swim school office:-

No lessons 15th February to 23rd February.

We look forward to seeing you again on week beginning 24th February.

Due to the over running of essential pool repairs, there will be no lessons at St Wilfrid’s pool on Monday 4th November.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Lessons will resume on Tuesday 5th November.

Just a reminder that our half term break will start on Saturday 26th October, through to Sunday 3rd November.

Have a lovely half term and a great Halloween. We look forward to seeing you again on the week commencing 4th November.

Philomena Geary, Director of 1st Swim School and also known as ‘Lady Phil’ by all the children has now been, officially, bestowed the title by the lovely Halls family.

Kate, Glynne, Cerys and Evan have been a big part of 1st Swim School for some 16 years and will, sadly, be leaving us at the end of the term.

Cerys who started with us as a toddler progressed through the ranks to become a super, qualified swimming teacher on our Saturday sessions. We wish Cerys lots of luck in her university studies and hope we get to call on her excellent teaching skills during uni vacations.

Evan, now having reached the grand age of 14 years has decided to move on having achieved all his STA Snorkelling levels plus Bronze Rookie Lifeguard. Our Hurstpierpoint lifesaving sessions will seem so strange without Evan’s cheery smile and willingness to try out everything.

We will miss seeing you all at 1st Swim School and thank you for all your support over the years and for making our Lady Phil a proper ‘Lady’.
