DWPC Returns to the Pool 15 Sep

Successful 1st session back with 50 players attending (23 at 6-30pm and 29 from 8pm) so really busy.  

Focus was to start to rebuild fitness and developing individual skills.  The shallow end proved challenging for many of our taller players but for others also offered a chance of a breather from treading water ……

By the end there were quite a few red faces but plenty of smiles and positive chatter and hopefully not too many aches the following morning.

DWPC Return to the Water

We hope you are all safe and well and pleased with the news that gyms and pools can reopen from 31 Aug subject to covid compliance arrangements being in place.  FS&LT has indicated they are working towards reopening Carnegie LC on 14 Sep.
Plans for a return to the water are underway and although things will look different initially, we forward to catching back up with everyone.
Carnegie LC (CLC) based clubs have also been in discussions about sharing remaining main pool club use session time whilst the training pool is out of action.  We have worked on a revised temporary schedule which will be in place until the training pool reopens in Jan 2021 so there will be some changes to our sessions in the meantime.  It was agreed for each of the 5 CLC based clubs to retain 1 weeknight club night in Carnegie main pool.  We expect to have Tue night (usual time) and also 3-5pm on a Sunday which we felt was the best possible compromise in the current circumstances.  This is still a proposed programme which will now need to go to FSLT etc so not yet finalised but has broad agreement between clubs. 
It will also be mandatory to have a Covid officer present poolside for every session to monitor our compliance. In support of ensuring the wellbeing of our pool staff and athletes, we are required to collect a signed health questionnaire and declaration along with circulating various privacy notices and other advice on facility and training changes prior to our first session.

We hope to advise members shortly of the revised timetable and when our sessions will restart (potentially Tue 15 Sep).
