Learn to Swim
These classes take place at Harrow Leisure
Centre Monday and Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings. They are 30 minutes long for the beginner
(aged 5 years and over) through to those wishing to improve their strokes to
join the competitive squads. There are
also 40-minute lessons for older swimmers on Wednesday evenings and adults on
Monday & Wednesday evenings.
Competitive Squads
Competitive Squads begin with those
moving up from the learn to swim through to those who are working towards
County / Southern
County and
National qualifying times. Training takes place at Harrow Leisure
Centre Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday mornings and every
weekday evening throughout the week.
Children are placed in Squads according to their age and ability. A condition of Squad membership is that, if

kit. All Squad members are expected to
take part in the Club Championships held annually in September.
