Windmiler swim sessions take place on Mondays at Wimbledon College, which is on Edge Hill, between 7:15pm and 9:15pm. We also have a Thursday session at Ernest Bevin College in Tooting at 7pm.
Monday session
The session is split in two, each lasting one hour. The first session starts at 7:15pm, and be for slower swimmers, and led by two coaches. The second session starts at 8:15pm, and for medium and faster swimmers. Note that although we work in 10 week blocks, you can begin at any point, as its not a 'course' as such.
The focus for the coached sessions is on front crawl, and improving your technique, speed and endurance. At the previous sessions we had a range of motivations for swimming, including cross training, injury rehabilitation and those looking towards triathlon/multisport events. In order to cover the costs of hiring the pool, we charge £5.50 per session, or £40 for a block of 10 sessions.
If you are interested in joining one of the sessions, please email me at tri@windmilers.org.uk before attending so that we can ensure we aren't overcrowded any week.
Directions to the Wimbledon College pool:
From Worple Road end, turn up Edge Hill, and go on past Darlaston Road on your right. You will then come to a large old church on your right, and just after this, the modern Sacred Heart Church building. Just after this, is the entrance to Wimbledon College. Drive/walk through there, and follow road round to the right, until you end up at the car park. The building is in the right hand corner and will be lit up. Enter the building and the pool is the first door on your left.
