Note that these are guidelines only. Generally, children will not be ready to join the club until they are in the Improvers 2 lessons or  equivalent. All children wishing to join the club should firstly put their name on the waiting list. When there are spaces in the club, children at the top of the waiting list will be called to attend a club trial where they will be assessed. Club trials are generally held once every half term and details of the next trials will be posted on the club notice board.

Waiting List

To place your child on the waiting list, please contact Karen Dorey, Bronze Squad Coach on 01548 856920 with details of your child (name, date of birth) and ability of your child eg: which level of swimming lessons they currently attend.
