*UPDATE UPDATE* 😁
I am pleased to say the Club are now in a position to confirm a return to training.
***Unfortunately we still don’t have full capacity as we will only be using 4 lanes.
Therefore it is ESSENTIAL you check your emails for the updated squad times *** Thank You for your patience.

LATEST UPDATE
We’re aware that a social media post from Thorncliffe indicates that the pool will reopen this week with reduced capacity. Unfortunately we have not been notified as to what that means for us. We will follow up first thing in the morning and then let you know what sessions we can offer, but we are obviously hopeful we can return to swimming this week.

TRAINING AMENDMENT
We have managed to reinstate the cancelled training at Hoyland on the 6th September.
All swimmers not attending the Sheffield & District Meet who wish to attend this training should reply on the new Spond invite, which will arrive tomorrow. It is really important you either accept or decline on Spond for any training session offered. This will help the Coaches plan lane allocation. As these are the only training sessions we are guaranteed at the moment we may need to make small adjustments to the squads to ensure all swimmers get the maximum benefits, therefore it is essential the Coaches have a clear indication of which swimmers will be attending. Unfortunately we have no further updates on Thorncliffe at the moment. We are still working at trying to get alternative pool space and whilst we know how very frustrating this is for everyone concerned, we ask that you please bear with us while we try and sort out the best alternatives for all squads.
Thank you for your patience and we will update you as quickly as we possibly can.

🚨 URGENT NOTICE
Due to an escalation of the ongoing tiles issue at Thorncliffe. THERE WILL BE NO TRAINING TONIGHT.
Sunday training at Hoyland will go ahead as planned. We will get further information to you as soon as we can. Please watch for email updates.

🚨
*NO TRAINING*
Thursday 20th August (except seniors) due to Coach availability. Training will resume as normal on Friday 21st August.
