Tonight's swim session

This Wednesday night is our second pool swimming session, again at Nayland Park Pool.  Same as per last week. 6.00pm or 6.30pm start.

For those in Group 1, Nige has said he is able to get there just after 6.00pm this week, so if you can come earlier (last week your start time was 6.30pm), then feel free to, and you can gain some extra time with him in the pool before 'official' start of 6.30pm.

If you have goggles, kickboard and a swim cap, please bring along with you as these may be helpful (there will be some spare boards at the pool).

Remember, you are able to adjust your group on the night if you feel the group is not quite right for you. 

See you Wednesday, if you have any queries, just flick me an email, text, or ring my mobile.

Tonight's Swim Session

Dear Active Woman,

Tonight we begin the first of two sessions of Swimming, at Nayland Park Pool.  The groupings for tonight have been emailed to you.  Please note there is only one Group 1, as Nige (instructor) can only make that time, not the earlier 6pm time.

If you have goggles, kickboard and a swim cap, please bring along with you as these may be helpful (there will be spare boards at the pool also).

Remember, you are able to adjust your group on the night if you feel the group is not quite right for you.  These have been based on swimming overarm. 

If you have not received an email from me, please get in touch.

See you tonight!!

2014 sessions set to start!

Hope you have been having a wonderful summer and are looking forward to getting back into the series on Wednesday nights for the next couple of months.

This coming Wednesday,  the 12^th of February we will resume the series with swimming at Nayland Park Pool.  For this, I ask that you email me back if you intend on coming to the sessions as I need to put you into appropriately sized and ability matched groups.  If I don't hear from you, I will assume that you do not wish to attend the swimming sessions.

We have two weeks of pool swimming at Nayland Pool, so if you want to participate but there is one session you know you will be absent for, please also let me know.

Nayland pool is an outdoor pool, for which you can stand on the bottom (Group 1 will always be near the side of the pool and in the shallowest end of the pool). There are changing rooms and showers available.

We will most probably have two sessions for each group, ie one group 2 starts at 6.00pm – 6.30pm and a second group 2 starts at 6.30pm – 7.00pm.  This will depend on numbers for each group - I will keep you updated. 

Nayland Park Pool has asked that we start a bit ealier (and hence finish earlier) so we will move one of the half hour sessions to a 6pm start and the second half hour session will start at our normal time of 6.30pm.  If you are able to come to that earlier time slot please let me know.

Please reply email to let me know which of the three groups you would classify yourself.  Base a ‘length’ on a 25m length pool, swimming overarm/freestyle.

Group 1:  Would not feel confident swimming one width or length
Group 2:  Could swim one or two lengths
Group 3:  Could swim many lengths confidently

Let me know if you have any concerns or queries.

Also - if you are keen on purchasing a swim pass to use at either Riverside Pool and/or Nayland Park Pool during public swim times for the months of Feb, March and April then head in to see Jo at Riverside Pool reception, and she will set you up with a swim entry tag.  Cost is $55.  A great way to practice your new swimming drills and technique, especially if you are training to participate in the City of Nelson Women's Triathlon (April 6th).  More details on this event on www.nelsonevents.co.nz (entry is now open).

As always, keep active, and I'll see you on Wedneesday night
