Information
Useful information for both parents and swimmers can be found by clicking on the tabs on the left.
Training
We train at a number of pools in the Lincoln area, including City School, North Kesteven School, Yarborough School, RAF Waddington and Cranwell. Sessions usually range from 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours in length and older swimmers will be encouraged to involve Land Work in their strength building and fitness programme. As swimmers progress through the squad system they will be introduced to early morning training (always a favourite with parents!).
