INFORMATION FOR MEMBERS – 2024 format will be slightly different with each part of the year separated into Blocks. Members will be able to book and attend sessions as normal from January to March and again from April onwards, however, from May Blocks of sessions will be open to Non-Members in groups of 4. Therefore will members please ensure an early request for slots (changes will be possible up to 24 hours as normal)

I have confirmed a second Indoor Pool Session to either work in Lane 1 – learning / developing front crawl or work in Lane 2 – Breaststroke Technique. Running from 16th April at Mercat Gait in Prestonpans on a Tuesday lunchtime, this will again be a block of sessions running for 8 weeks from 1215 to 1300. As many folks will have holidays etc coming up through this period, I am suggesting that you pay for 6 of 8 sessions, if you can attend all 8 you can add these separately.

Members would need to commit to the full block (6 of 8 minimum) costing is £84. (extra two sessions will be £12 each if needed)
