Water Polo
Timetable from Wednesday 1st September
After a great deal of work with SSV and TL, we are at last returning towards a consistent timetable. Having published this to members in our newsletter w/e 27 August, the Club online Diary is now updated with the session times for swimming and water polo. Let’s hope that soon, other events will be populating the agenda, both competition and social.
Thanks to Lee, Fran, Tom and Committee members for constantly striving to have pool time as close to normal throughout the last 18 months.
New Training Timetable
With the Government announcement today that the lockdown release continues on schedule, attached is our new training timetable from next Monday 17th May. Senior Water Polo can at last return to the pool on Monday and Masters will join Thursday evening session for swimming. Both those sessions are for an hour and start at 8:15 pm.
Tonight’s newsletter for Members includes protocol summary for accessing and exiting SSV.
Thanks all for your patience whilst we get back to the next “normal”.

Training Sessions w/c 12 April & Club Code of Conduct
1st April 2021
It’s nearly time to get back in the water.
A new Health Questionnaire will be posted out to all members and must be completed before anybody is allowed to return to the water.
Covid safe protocol procedures will be resent and be in line with our previous rules – remembering also the need to have a mask on, when entering the building and all communal areas.
The proposed swimming timetable is also provided here, so you can start to plan your kit bag (though suspect it’s been ready to go for a while). For junior water polo, sessions will again be on a Saturday evening, starting 17 April between 7 and 9:15.
For senior Water Polo and Swimmers, sadly, the Government rules mean a return to Club training is still a little while off, scheduled for [not before] w/c 17 May.
Code of Conduct Covid-19
Below is the new Code is Conduct for our return to aquatic sports. All participants must have agreed to this code by returning the approved acceptance form (and the completion of the SE Health questionny) before being able to participate.
