Youth Winter Swimming 2020

Posted on by
***Winter Pool Schedule***
Please find the Youth team pool schedule for winter training below starting after October half term (w/c Mon 2nd Nov). We have a much bigger team this year with an amazing 19 nipper juniors joining us, plus restrictions on lane numbers with Covid guidelines. In light of this we have added extra sessions to accommodate everyone and had to reduce the overall session time. We’ll review this as we go along.
We understand some of you may have other commitments that you’d rather do on your allocated youth night. If this is the case, please let me know if you cannot attend regulary. With over 70 youth, all with different abilities and a wide age spectrum we can’t guarantee that we can swap you to another session, but when we have all the information we will look at this.
Wednesday
7.45-8.35 (50mins) U17 & U19 those born 2005 upwards
(FYI Open/Masters follows this session)
Thursday
8pm-8.45pm U13’s (45mins)
8.45pm-9.30pm U15’s (45mins)
**Extra surf squad session**
Monday 8pm-9.30pm – 16’s+ those born 2005 upwards
(This session may be opened up to 15+ depending on numbers.)
We’re really pleased that your lead coach for pool training will be George Haynes again, who as usual will put you through your paces! Some of your usual parent coaches will also be there.
Full details and Covid guidelines will be released nearer to the time.
Outdoor winter sessions will be announced separately.
Any questions please comment on this post or send me a message on Facebook or email me on stevenfarnell@me.com

Nippers 2020

Message from our Nipper Manager
That’s all folk!!
Sadly we have come to the end of our beach sessions for this year. When we finally got going again we had a great summer, I think the Nippers have really benefited from the small groups and have gained in confidence and improved surf skills. Shame the weather conditions worked against us in the end!! 💨🌊☔️
Massive thanks to all the coaches for all their hard work in tricky times, would not happen without them 👏👏
We are hoping to be back in the pool the Friday after half term, we are getting all the plans in place and I am working on the groups at the moment so watch this space!!
Lastly a big well done and good luck to our 13s as they move on to the youth section of the club. Sorry we couldn’t give you your last Nipper year you all deserve, but one things for sure you will always remember this year!! 😢

Portreath SLSC Voluntary Patrols

Posted on by
Portreath SLSC would like to thank all the members who have volunteered for Patrols this year. We started strong in the spring of 2020 providing valuable patrols for the safety of our local community.
🏄🏄
With October half term fast approaching the club is looking to provide Patrols to cover the busy times down on the beach. If you have your lifeguard or beach warden award, please consider helping.
💦🌊
It would be great if we could provide a Level 4 Patrol on the weekends with a surveillance patrol during the weekdays. The level of patrol will vary depending on volunteer availability.
Please check out the Club Facebook page if you are able to help.
