Distance Sessions at the Seymour Centre
Monday 8.45pm to 10.00pm
Location: Seymour Centre.
This is a freestyle (front crawl) session led by one coach overseeing two lanes. It is a 'yardage' rather than a technique session and is suitable for swimmers who can cover 400m in 10 minutes or less. Cost will be £30 for a 10-week block. Coaching is by Terence Collins (BTF level 3 and ASA level 2).
You need to be a current member of Serpentine Running Club to sign up for this session. There is a waiting list in operation. Once the session is full it will allow for ten people to sign up at any one time. Those joining the waiting list need to provide us with their most recent race swim split to ensure that there is parity between lanes. Although we try to be as fair as possible, we make our selection based on the coach's advice, which means that despite being at the top of the list you may not be selected if it means that the lane most appropriate to your ability would then become overcrowded.
Please note
- The first block of sessions will start on 12 May 2008 and is now full. The waiting list is in operation for the next block ten weeks later.
- Please address any enquiries to the session coordinator.
- Because of the waiting list, you can't just drop in and try it out, but you are more than welcome to come down and spectate if you want a better picture of the structure and level.
- Payment will be made via EntryCentral; a link will be sent to all swimmers who have a place near the end of each block.
- The cost covers pool hire and assumes that each session will not get 100% attendance. This means that missed sessions may not be made up in future blocks, and you cannot offer your place to someone else if you know in advance you will miss a session.
- "Three strikes and you're out": if you miss three sessions then your slot will be made available to another swimmer
- We only charge to cover costs, so when pool hire fees are occasionally revised we have to increase the cost to Serpies.
