July 2024 Beginners Session

As part of the National Open Weekend with Better, we're hosting a free taster session on Saturday 20th July, 3pm-4pm at Yearsley Swimming Pool

If you would like to give it a go together with other beginners. We'll provide all the kit, all you need to bring is a swimming costume, towel and some socks to wear under your fins! We'll go through the basics of snorkeling, fin swimming and pushing the puck on the bottom, and hopefully have time for a short game at the end of the session!

If you are interested in coming, please arrive at 2:45pm, so that we can get everyone kitted up and ready to get in the pool for 3pm. It would also be incredibly helpful if you could email us with your shoe size, so that we can make sure we have enough fins in the correct sizes for everyone.

If you would like to see the other events on the weekend, you can find them here

Looking forward to seeing you there!
