Swim Down Facilities
Due to some complications with the venue, including Aquatics GB Diving preparing for the World Cup, our provision of Swim Down during the Meet looks like this:
- Saturday 28th March - Diving Pool from 13:00 until 19:15
- Sunday 29th March - Training Pool Lane from 13:00 until 19:15
- Monday 30th March - Training Pool Lane 08:30 until 12:15. & Dive Pool from 13:00 until 14:30
The Management Team at the London Aquatics Centre have also said to encourage swimmers on the Everyone Active Sporting Champions Award or Members that they can book a swim in the training pool as well for when they need to swim down.
While we understand this isn't most ideal, our coaching team met to discuss potential options and decided this was the best option from what we had. We are already in talks with the venue to improve this for the next meet.
