HI

On Saturday the 30th January Howell’s  school are holding an open day.

Expect a build up of traffic at the entrance, where helpers will be  directing drivers  to the car park within the  grounds.

In past years parking has not been a problem on these occasions but    when entering the grounds of the school  let the helpers know that you are using the pool and you should  be  able to travel to your normal parking area.

We may have  parents visiting  the pool while we are there,  so please ensure that any non swimming children are sitting  with you,  and keep push- chairs and baggage  clear of the surrounding area.

Saturday the 30th I hope to bring along some  Resusci-Annies to introduce  the children to water rescue and resuscitation practice.  We will us very brief sessions over the next 10 weeks, this will be as addons to swimming classe s,  and by the end of the course,  a basic understanding will have started  to be established.    Awards for these learned skills will be presented when the children have reached the standards  set.

We have had a good response from the children who say that they are looking forward to  the new activities which they should fnd enjoyable

Kind Regards

Saturday 9th January 2010 –Howels pool closed

Howel’s  school had been promised a supply of salt for the grounds but this has been utilised elswhere.  The school is open and safe supervision for the school children is supplied;   This service however cannot be extended to  our members and after inspection by the  groundsman,  a decision has been made to close the pool to bookings as the  ice and snow covering the grounds may be too dangerous for us to access .

Hopefully the ice and snow will all be cleared by next Saturday when we can re start the classes

Kind regards
