1st Swim School

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’.

Due to a poolside ‘makeover’ that is over running, St Wilfrid’s pool will be closed on Monday 25th February.

The 1st Swim School team send their apologies to all our Monday swimmers and look forward to seeing you again on 4th March.
