Week 1 - 28/08/2022

Good Evening All!

Welcome to the new 2022/23 season and our first weekly update. I hope everyone has had a lovely summer holiday and is ready for a fun-filled new season of BLWP.

This update will give an insight into the work the committee have been doing over the summer break and what we have planned for the first term!

In terms of training, we have managed to secure Poplar Baths for Monday 8:30-10pm and Thursday 8:30-10pm water polo training. We also have plans to have a weekend swimming session at Mile End, which pending grants could be fully subsidised (stay tuned for updates on this!). We have also applied to continue having Wednesday land training in the BLSA fitness room and whilst the sun still shines, at the beginning of term, we will be hosting land training in Vicky Park!

Miracle-Flo has released a beautiful Facebook event for pre-season which includes the schedule the captains have planned out. The link is below and the first session is on Monday!

To book swimming, you will need to download the Better UK app and create an account if you don’t already have one!

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.

We are also bringing back the BLWP family system so please sign up to help introduce the freshers to our club! Form for signing up is below:
