COVID-19 AUGUST UPDATE – VOLUNTEERING

By General

This limitation is to ensure that swimmers have enough space on the viewing area to drop off their belongings and get changed for sessions. The roles of these volunteers are to monitor social distancing and/or sign swimmers […]

COVID-19 AUGUST UPDATE – Training Timetable Phase 3 (from 1st September 2020)

By General

Thank you all for your continued cooperation with the training plan since our return to pool! We have been very fortunate with the support that Hambleton District council, and in particular the management team at Northallerton Leisure Centre, have provided us with.

Joy as swimmers return to the pool

By COVID-19, General

Young swimmers in Northallerton will dive back into action tomorrow ( 25th July) as pools reopen across the country. Youngsters from Northallerton Amateur Swimming Club have been waiting patiently since pools were closed in March due to the Coronavirus lockdown. Life without swimming has been a big adjustment for the youngsters, some of whom train up to four times a week.  Pools had expected to be allowed to open on 4th July, but the government delayed its decision, prompting a nationwide campaign led by Swim England to #OpenOurPools, which featured pleas from the sport’s biggest names, including Olympians Adam Peaty […]
