Weekly Update 1 - 29/08/2020+1
Helloooo All. Welcome to the 202+1/2022 season and welcome back to weekly updates. The committee have been working hard over the summer to plan a year of excitement. I hope you’ve had a fantastic summer and I’m super excited to see you all very shortly.
We start with the absolutely fab news that we have retained Poplar Baths as our training venue for the first term with training times being Monday 9pm-10pm, Thursday 8:30pm-10pm and Sunday 3:30pm-5:00pm. There will also be weekly land training but details of this are to follow later. Also, we have some amazing news on the ball front, 8x new size 5s and 8x new size 4s have arrived and will be used at training as soon as we begin (as if getting back into the pool wasn’t already enough, there’s even more reason to come back)
The pre-season training schedule has been released and begins on Monday with a masterclass from Barnacle in the pool. The full schedule can be found on the Men’s and Women’s chats as well as the FB event. To book swimming, you will need to create and download the Better UK app. Link for that is here: https://better.legendonlineservices.co.uk/enterprise/account/login You can find Mile End under Tower Hamlets and London Fields under Hackney. Unfortunately, there will be no refunds for pre-season swimming, I know this is a bummer but still please do try to attend. Land training on the other hand, is completely free, so no excuses there.
Upcoming Dates for your diary:
Wednesday 8th September = Pre-Senior Tables
Wednesday 15th September = Senior Curry and Tables
Wednesday 22nd September = Fresher Curry and Tables
Sunday 26th September = Fresher Taster Session (NO SENIORS)

Our Women’s Captain Charis has designed a lovely swimming hat for your purchase and usage. You can pre-order these for £4 before 23:59 Sunday 12th September, after this, the hats will cost you £6. The design of the hats is on this page and they will be silicone material (high quality). Would really advise getting 1 or 2 (in case of a rip). Bank deets of where to send your money to will be confirmed ASAP.
