Alternative swimming lessons May - July 2022

 Swim School 714x335

David Ross Sports Village is set to undergo an extensive update from May 2022 with exciting refurbishment works confirmed for the University's aquatic facilities. 

The £1.4 million investment into the pool facilities will see extensive updates to improve the swimming experience including a pool renovation, a complete remodel of the changing area, new spectator seating and a state-of-the-art upgrade to our accessible facilities. 

The swimming area, including the Health and Wellbeing Suite, will be closed from Monday 9 May until end-July with the final project completion set for early September 2022. Please click here for full details. 

Please note, our Early Years Swim School programme will be unaffected by these works and will take place as normal in our hydrotherapy pool. 

Junior Beginners - Stage 4 and Adult Beginners

The current course of pool closure/alternative lessons will finish week commencing 4 July 2022.

From Monday 11 July – Sunday 31 July 2022, we will be offering Group pay as you go lessons for Junior Beginners - Stage 4 and Adult Beginners at the Hydro pool. 

How to book

Re-booking letters for the September-November 2022 course are being handed out in lessons this week. For the Group pay as you go lessons, you will be able to book the stage confirmed for next term on the letter. If you have not attended the current course of lessons and the last course you attended was Feb-May 2022 course, please book onto the course confirmed on your letter at the end of that course.

Bookings for the pay as you go lessons will open on Monday 4 July 2022 at 7.30am and all spaces will be sold on a first come first served basis and payment will be required to secure your place. 

To book please contact our Front of House team on +44 (0)115 74 87000. Please be advised when enquiring, availability is subject to change as we are continuously taking bookings. Spaces can only be guaranteed with payment.

Please be advised that there will be no spectating for these lessons whilst they are running at the Hydro pool due to the design of the pool but there will be a waiting area close by. Stage 4 lessons will be in deep water as normal.

Junior Stage 5 - Stage 9 and Adult Improvers & Advanced

As the refurbishments will not be completed until the end of July at the main pool, there will be no lessons for the higher stages until 1 August 2022 when the Summer Holiday programme commences. Please make sure you have booked your space for the course commencing Monday 5 September - Sunday 20 November 2022.

Your questions

What if I did not attend any of the alternative lesson times from 9 May - 10 July, can I book onto the Group pay as you go lessons in July?
Yes, simply book onto the stage you were indentified for at the end of the last course
 

 

Can I book my other child onto the programme?
From Monday 11 July, any spaces left after our current customers have booked will open up to new customers and siblings.
 
When will the main pool re-open for swimming lessons?
The refurbishments of the pool are planned to finish end-July and the Summer Holiday programme will start from 1 August 2022 in the main pool.
 
The times available are too late for my child, why are there not earlier times?

Unfortunately, the pool time we could acquire is limited for the size of the programme that operates. We have done our best to provide times to cater for all the programme and have allocated earlier time slots for the younger children where possible.

 
I won't be able to attend the lesson when the letters are handed out, how do I find out what stage I/my child has been identified for next term?
The Front of House team will have a list of all the swimmers names and the stages they have been identified for. Please contact us by phone or email to find out your stage.
