18.01.2022 BACK TO IT - tomorrow we are swimming again! Covid rules still in place with a strict 1 parent only through on pool deck so social distancing can occur and de...nsity limits are not exceeded. As previously said all those missed lessons will be credited to your next account. Thanks in advance for your co-operation & supporting us while we all face these challenges. See you tomorrow :))) See more

18.01.2022 Hi there unfortunately COVID restrictions still prevent us from opening and offering lessons at this stage. Our industry body is working hard to have us back ...in the water with our little people sooner than later. At this stage we are hoping we will only be a couple weeks away however no date is available.

17.01.2022 4 more sleeps Almost time and we’ll be back in making a splash! Thank you to those who have replied to our messages and who have got in contact with u...s for this term, hopefully by end of tomorrow we will have contacted everyone on our list and who have spots booked - almost there Please note enrolments for this 8 week term will close Sunday 1st Nov. Our next intake will be for holiday intensive weeks in January 2021. Bring on a better new year but let’s get some swimming fun in first before summer starts!

11.01.2022 A question or remark we hear often from parents, particularly in our baby classes "why do we do the same stuff every week?" The reason being children love routine and like to know what is going to happen. This is particularly important for timid or scared beginners as it helps them feel safe and in control. Having a specific start, middle and end to the swimming lesson will also help maintain their focus and concentration.

11.01.2022 Hello hello We have slowly but finally got back to everyone with any questions and enquires that were sent to us. If we missed you - let us know. If you wi...sh to keep your current spot for when we re start and are able to pay your current issued account please do so, we will then contact you before starting up again and your Term 4 account will be in credit. However if you would like to cancel your booking and have your account adjusted please let us know. Thank you to those who have reached out to us with your love thoughts and well wishes. We will get through this as best we all can together Baby no3 will soon be joining us and although we are hoping for a breeze of a baby I’m sure we’ll be kept busy or waste a lot of time patiently waiting until we can get back into doing what we love. Until then we wish you the most joyful lockdown possible ? .....surely there’s going to be babies galore next year Stay safe, stay well and we will see you soon. With love Ben, Pauline and our awesome FSSS team!

If you were enrolled this term and didn’t get ...a text let us know so we can update / add you to our system.
