Sunday 1st November 2020 Parents and Swimmers, In the knowledge of the government measures announced last night, we have taken the very tough decision to cancel all lessons from Monday 2nd to Wednesday 4th November before the national lockdown commences on Thursday 5th November. This will be for the duration of the lockdown and until swimming pools are able to reopen. We take the health and well being of all incredibly seriously and feel that this is the best decision to keep everyone as safe as possible. As with any pool closure, you will not have lost the lessons, they will simply be added to the end of your booking. We will miss seeing you all at the pool hugely and we thank you for your support during this time. Keep safe, From all of us at Fins.
We are delighted to launch our October Half Term Crash Courses which will be run from Kings International College in Camberley and a private pool in Sherfield English near Romsey. There are a variety of One to One and Group Classes available for all ages and abilities. Click here for more information and to book!

Dear Parents and Swimmers, Thank you to everyone who completed our survey, we are so delighted to see that many of you are looking forward to returning to swimming lessons at some point soon, we can't wait to see you! You may have just heard Boris Johnson's address to the House of Commons regarding further lockdown restrictions lifting. Unfortunately, swimming pools are to stay closed for the moment. Once we do get the go-ahead, we can open the Kings and Romsey pools very quickly to run a summer programme and will let you know about this as soon as we can. Frimley, Carwarden and Farnborough Hill pools will remain closed over the summer. Stay safe and well and we look forward to seeing you soon.
We hope you are all keeping well during these unprecedented times. Throughout this recent period, we have taken Government advice with the priority being the health and well-being of all. In the knowledge of these on-going measures and the need for people to continue to be socially distant, we are having to cancel the May half term crash courses and move these to either the Summer holidays or the October Half Term holidays. The dates/times for the 1 to 1 or 1 to 2 lessons in the Summer holidays are as follows: Week 1: commencing 27th July, every 30 minutes between 8am and 8pm; Week 2: commencing 3rd August, every 30 minutes between 8am and 8pm; Week 3: commencing 10th August, every 30 minutes between 8am and 9am, 11am and 8pm; Week 4: commencing 17th August, every 30 minutes between 8am and 9am, 11am and 8pm. Week 5: commencing 24th August, every 30 minutes between 8am and 10am, 1pm and 4.30pm, 5.30pm and 8pm. The dates/times for the 1 to 1 or 1 to 2 lessons in October Half Term are as follows: Week 1 only: commencing 26th October, every 30 minutes between 8am and 10am, 1pm and 4.30pm, 5.30pm and 8pm. Please note that the Easter and May crash courses were for 4 days, due to the Bank Holidays, however the Summer and October courses are for 5 days, therefore there would be a difference to pay of £15 per swimmer. Of course, in these unprecedented times, you will not be expected to make this payment at this time. Once the courses are confirmed as going ahead, we will contact you the week before the course, to take payment for this. If you have any questions please email us on office@finsswimmingclub.org. Emails will be monitored and responded to on a weekly basis until business returns to usual.
We hope that you are all keeping well at this unprecedented time. We just wanted to keep you updated regarding your/your child's swimming lessons: - Regular lessons - we are continuing to assess the situation and update the system on a weekly basis. Any further cancellations will result in your/your swimmer's block of lessons moving along again.
