Training Times

Junior swimmers are expected to attend their Friday night session on a regular basis.  All other sessions are optional – but the more you swim, the faster you’ll improve. Sessions are structured around the abilities of Friday evening training groups as shown below. If you have questions about the suitability of a particular session, just ask one of our coaches whether it would be right for you.

Coronavirus Update

17th May 2021: Welcome back to our over 18s! For now, Masters will train alongside our younger swimmers. We'll keep an eye on numbers of swimmers in the water and make adjustments as we go.

Fridays are now three sessions: 7-8pm, 8-9pm, 9-10pm.

Please check the session times and see the HSC whatsapp group for updates.

Please complete this health declaration and bring it to your first training session in 2021.
