Term ends this Sunday (4th December). I would like to thank all our customers for coming to us and using our pools in 2011. It has been a busy year thankfully and we have seen some tremendous results in our adult and children classes. Children so young taking their first strokes and seeing their parents faces is an amazing sight and that makes this job so - great! Then we have the adults, who thought they would never get the chance to swim and have this year. Then we have the swimmers in the advanced coaching who have gained the ASA time targets. Sprinting down the pool in Whetstone and getting the Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards from the ASA. We also have the adults that have used the pools this year for their fitness. Some in preparation for a triathlon (that list seems to be growing!) and adults that like the peace of a pool reserved for their fitness session or lesson - and of course the warm pool temperatures! As you can see in a recent post, plans have been granted to extend the girls changing room in Whetstone and all being well will start next week. Plans are also going well for our new pool in Woodside Park. With this new pool, we will then be offering our lessons in Whetstone, Mill Hill and Woodside Park! Something I am very proud of, as I know, with the 51 teachers we have, we offer excellent lessons. Mill Hill and Whetstone - great pools with warm water are excellent pools for babies through to adults. The junior advanced coaching offers pre competition level tuition to ages 7 years to 16 years. With the addition of the 20 metre, 4 lane pool in Woodside Park we will be able to step into the competitions and offer the chance for young adults and children to compete. Once again, thank you so much for your custom. Have a lovely Christmas and New Year and I look forward to seeing you in 2012. Jonathan
