We have approximately 60 members, but room for more. Come along and try a session. Speak to the coach on poolside and they will guide you to a suitable lane for your fitness level. Sessions cost around the same as a public swim (although without Reading Passport) but give the challenge of working to a set programme with like-minded swimmers of similar ability.
Swimmers can choose the number of sessions they wish to swim each week and fees are set accordingly. The majority swim between 2 and 3 sessions a week.
