Dates for your diaries...

Dear Swimmers

Hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather today - just stunning!

Firstly, huge apologies to the 9.30am squad this morning - I had mistakenly over-looked a pool carnival at the pool this morning and should have notified you that due to lane restrictions, this session needed to be at Cottesloe Beach instead. As it happens, David Cox (Duty Manager) was splendid in organising a single lane in the 25m pool to take the 8 swimmers who wished to stay at the pool for a technique session with Emma, whilst I took a group of 12 to the beach (as you can see above conditions were perfect!). It all went swimmingly in the end, but I do apologise sincerely if I inconvenienced anyone with my oversight. Thanks to the staff at Claremont Pool for trying to accommodate us as best as possible.

Secondly, that then leads me on to point out a few key dates for your diary on when the March and April carnivals will affect our regular bookings (mainly the 9.30am M/W/F squad). Please see these details below. All "BEACH SESSIONS" will be run at Cottesloe Beach and will meet from 9.20am for a 9.30am start on the grass bank immediately in front of the pylon and adjacent to the north side of Indianna Tea Rooms:

9.30am SESSIONS & CARNIVALS:

• Friday 8th February at 9.30am = BEACH SESSION
• Wednesday 6th March at 9.30am = in 50m pool but lanes 1-3 (shared with a carnival)
• Friday 8th March at 9.30am = BEACH SESSION
• Wednesday 13th March at 9.30am = 25m pool
• Friday 15th March at 9.30am = 25m pool
• Monday 25th March at 9.30am = 25m pool
• Wednesday 27th March at 9.30am = BEACH SESSION
• Weekend of 29th March to Monday 1st April (inclusive) = NO SESSIONS (Easter Long Weekend)
• Friday 5th April at 9.30am = BEACH SESSION
• Wednesday 10th April at 9.30am = BEACH SESSION
• Friday 12th April at 9.30am = BEACH SESSION

LABOUR DAY / EASTER LONG WEEKEND:

• No sessions on Monday 4th March (Labour Day Long Weekend)
• Weekend of 29th March to Monday 1st April (inclusive) = NO SESSIONS (Easter Long Weekend)

THURSDAY 6.30PM SESSIONS:

• Thursdays up to and including 21st February = 25m pool (2 more weeks)
• Thursday 28th February = CANCELLED (due to a Carnival)
• Thursday 7th March = CANCELLED (due to a Carnival)
• Thursday 14th March onwards = 50m pool (lanes 6, 7 and 8)

N.B the pool's winter operating hours will commence from the week commencing Monday 6th May whereupon the Tuesday and Thursday 6.30pm sessions will start 15 minutes earlier at 6.15pm.

Finally, I shall also personally be away in the UK & Ireland running some more Coach Education courses and attending the annual Triathlon Show (to announce a very special new signing, or two, for the HUUB wetsuit range that we have developed the suits for!) from after the 9.30am session on Wednesday 27th February and re-starting on Wednesday 27th March at 5.30am. All sessions will run as normal in my absence with Sandy, Sally, Francene and Brad sharing the coaching workload once again. These coaches are simply excellent and I am super confident that you will have a great 4 weeks under their tutelage. More details on this to follow...

Cheers

Paul

P.S 14 sleeps to Rotto!
