Easter Crash Course 2nd April – 6th April 12

March 22nd, 2012

Do to popular demand we will now be running a crash course during the Easter holidays (2nd April – 6th April)

The course is £35 per child for a 5 day intensive course.

Our crash courses consist of one half hour lesson each day for 5 days. This is a good introduction to swimming for your child. The aim of the courses is to build and improve water confidence in all age groups, to improve weak swimmers strokes and to give the younger ones an introduction to water safety and structured lessons. Children from the age of three are welcome and we recommend that these children complete a crash course before starting weekly lessons.

Crash courses are very useful if your child is nervous or frightened or is having difficulty during their normal lessons.

If you would like to book a space you can contact me on 07817 171 524 or email me on langtonlaneswimming@live.co.uk

Swimming lesson’s for the New Year 2012

January 4th, 2012

Dear All

I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year break.
At the end of last term’s swimming lessons we were cancelled for 3 weeks (waterbabies for 4 weeks).
To catch up on those lessons we are going to use the first 3weeks of this term.
The start date for swimming lessons is next week beginning Tues 10th Jan.
End date is week ending Sat 11th Feb
6 week term.
All classes will stay at the same time and day as last term for 3 weeks and then we’ll hand out awards and change classes for the 4th week of term.
I hope everyone can remember when their lesson times are!
If not, send me an email and I’ll confirm.
There was a couple of people who’d re-arranged classes for the last 3 weeks of last term. Those re-arrangements still stand.
For swimming club members who aren’t returning to lessons this year but  are owed 3 lessons because of the cancellation,
the first 3 weeks of the new year are to catch up for the last 3 of last year. 
Please attend these lessons to finish the course and receive your progress reports/awards.
I’m sorry I can’t offer any refunds in cash because I am arranging an alternative time for the lessons to be taken.
If you no longer need to be on this mailing list please send me a message with ‘Cancel’ as the subject. I’m sorry if I haven’t taken you off the database.
Swimming Fees for next term:
Next term is 6 weeks but you’ll only pay for 3.
Course fees for Jan include a 10% discount (please take a further 5% off for 3rd and 4th swimmers)

I look forward to seeing you all next week.

Swimming lessons as at 13.12.11

December 13th, 2011

Dear all swimming club members

Unfortunately the pool isn’t fixed for our last week at swimming, this week.

Please accept my apologies for the disruption this term.

I have a meeting with the school tomorrow to try to negotiate a long term solution for the improved running of the pool, and therefore the swimming club.
The ideas I will present tomorrow will be based around a collaborative approach, between the school and the swimming club, for the management of the pool.
I hope that a reorganisation of how the swimming pool is maintained, practically and financially, will result in an improved facility and undisrupted swimming lessons for the children from now on.
I feel confident that these solutions will be welcomed by the school and that we will be up and running again in the new year with renewed inspiration and enthusiasm, for improving the facility and the swimming lessons.
There will be progress reports sent to you with information about swimming times for next term, by the end of the week.
Everyone is owed 3 weeks worth of lessons. Next term’s lessons will be discounted accordingly.
There is also a £2 charge (that you would have paid with last terms fees) for the awards and badges. Because we have been unable to hand these out, a further £2 will be discounted from next terms fees. If you choose to purchase an award, for this term, you can do so by paying separately for these at the pool next term.
Furthermore, I will be looking to offer an additional 10% discount for swimming fees from next term onwards. This will hopefully make it easier for everyone to continue with swimming lessons next year. I understand it is a difficult time for everyone with the prices increasing for most things.
I’m sorry not to be seeing you before Christmas. I wish everyone a happy and safe holiday and look forward to seeing you in the new year.
Very Best Wishes
Zoe
