August 2025 Newsletter

Dear Members

August is just around the corner!

We are so happy to say that the handrail in Lane 3 has now been in place for a little while and has clearly greatly improved the accessibility for many of our members. Can we please remind you all to treat the rail with respect as it will not survive being used as a swing.

A massive thank you to Jess Andrews, one of our members who is a trained graphic designer, for working very hard on transforming the signage of the doors. What a lovely difference that will make!

July’s events included another coffee/tea swim and the ever popular Inflatable Madness.

A quick reminder that as of Monday 18 August the last swim will be at 8pm rather than 8.30pm, this is because of the change in daylight hours.

EVENTS

In August we will be hosting three events. No need to sign up for any of them, but do keep an eye on the website’s homepage, just in case we need to cancel/move the date of the event.

  • Friday 1 August – 9pm to 10.30pm Twilight Swim
  • Friday 8 August - 130am to 11.30am Coffee/Tea Swim
  • Saturday 9 August – 3pm to 4pm Kids Inflatable Madness

Please check the EVENTS page for details.
