Winter training for Club members

Nov 9th, 2009 | By

Many thanks for the 27 responses from Club members to Gerry Griffin’s last circular on winter training. The general feeling is that Ringwood is too far out of our normal area. Other than a few members who swim in triathlete training sessions every Saturday, no one else has expressed any desire for these swims. Consequently, the idea of monthly EDOWSC training in these sessions has been cancelled.

We are in discussions with Poole Borough Council to extend our licence to include occasional daytime non-exclusive use of the changing rooms at Shore Road over the winter period.
