Please see the website post dated 15th September for full details on our upcoming mini course.

We have now opened this course up to allow everybody to book.

If your child has had swimming lessons previously, why not book them in for a refresher?

Safety in the water is so important

We look forward to seeing you.

Here’s our current timetable for public swimming sessions from 21st September. Please bear in mind this is always subject to change but updates will be posted.

Thanks

SWIMMING LESSONS AT HOLYWELL LEISURE CENTRE

BOOKINGS TAKEN BETWEEN 10am – 2pm ON 01352 355100/355006

A text has been sent to all parents/guardians of children for whom we are currently holding a space in our Waves 2, 3, 4, 5/6 and Link Group Swimming Lessons.

This applies to those who pay for their swimming lessons in full and those who pay by direct debit and whose direct debit instruction remains frozen (i.e. has not been cancelled before, during or after lockdown).

As you will be aware, we have not yet restarted our mainstream lessons, we hope to do so around mid October, although their structure will no doubt have to change. The extent of the changes we will be required to make will depend on the advice and guidelines received at that time from both Welsh Government and Swim Wales and will always be subject to change where required.

In the meantime, we would like to provide a NEW SHORT COURSE of lessons for the following Waves; 2, 3, 4, 5/6 and Link but of course, numbers will have to be restricted, therefore these can only be offered literally on a “first come, first served” basis.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide lessons at this stage for Splash, Wave 1, Rookies nor Water Polo.

A text message regarding this short course has been sent at the same time to everybody who has a child currently in the appropriate “Wave” and who has provided us with a mobile number so there should be no unfair advantages regarding booking a place. You can book your child’s place for any day and any time available as this course is not part of the mainstream lessons.

This short course of lessons will run for four weeks starting Monday 21^st September – Sunday 18^th October inclusive.

You will be allocated a day and time and will attend that session for the four weeks.

This short course is completely independent of our usual lessons.  

The cost for the course will be £24 payable at the time of booking regardless of whether your normal payment is made by Direct Debit (which of course remain frozen) or you have already paid in full for the course which started in March 2020.

Any due adjustments to payments made prior to lockdown either in full or by direct debit will be dealt with individually when our next regular course of lessons starts, hopefully mid-October.

Please ring 01352 355100 / 355006 in order to book a place for your child.

Bookings will be taken on these numbers between  10am – 2pm only.

WE WILL BE UNABLE TO BOOK A PLACE FOR YOU IF YOU LEAVE A MESSAGE ON THE ANSWERING SERVICE.  

You will need to speak with us. I anticipate the phone lines may be quite busy during these times so would advise you to keep trying.

If the answering service clicks in without ringing, it means we are on another call.

Please read the below Terms and Conditions before committing to booking and paying for a place for your child to ensure you are happy to comply with our requirements;

When your child is dry and dressed, you will both exit the building again through the Swimming Pool fire exit

We look forward to welcoming you back.

We start this post with an apology.

As previously stated in our FAQs that swimming lessons would be able to recommence on 14th September and we would be in touch with further information, unfortunately, this is now not the case. You may have probably already realised this as you have received no contact in this regard.

Due to some unforeseen issues, we are having to delay the start date of swimming lessons a little longer.

We can only apologise for the further delay and hope you will understand the difficulties we face in trying to safely co-ordinate the many different aspects of the return to all activities.

Please continue to bear with us.

Thank you for your patience.

Quick update regarding the reopening of our swimming pool….We had fingers and toes crossed that the ongoing “Plant Room Project” would have been completed in time for us to reopen the pool on Monday 24th August, unfortunately there have been some minor complications which have resulted in a delay to this plan. We are now extremely hopeful you will be able to enjoy a swim again here from Thursday 27th August onwards. As promised, we will continue to update. We do apologise for this further delay but please bear with us and be assured we are doing our very best.

We are delighted to announce Trigger Point Pilates will now be returning next week.

Classes will be with reduced numbers in line with social distancing requirements and you MUST have your own equipment.

For those of you who didn’t purchase equipment for this activity prior to lockdown, Gaynor will be in tomorrow (Friday 14th August) to sanitise the pre used equipment we hold, she will put it into sets and these will be available to purchase at the bargain price of £15.00.

Please contact Gaynor either via facebook or ring Reception between 10am – 4pm on 01352 355100 tomorrow and ask to speak with Gaynor in order to purchase a set of equipment.

Classes will be:- Tuesday 9.30am – 10.15am in the Squash Court (max. 8) Thursday 7.15pm – 8pm in the Community Studio (max. 12)

Bookings can be taken up to 8 days in advance. Why not ring on 01352 355100/355006 now to book?

Payment must be made at time of booking.

We can’t wait to see you.

CLASS BOOKINGS – If you are attending a class which requires the use of a floor mat e.g. Yoga, Pilates etc you will be required to bring your own mat. We will no longer be able to provide mats for customer use due to Covid-19 situation.

If you do not have your own mat and are unable to purchase one for any reason, we will be sanitizing our existing pre used mats on a one off basis and these will be available to purchase during the first week of our reopening at a price of £4.
