St Edwards Pool Closure

Unfortunately, we were advised immediately before Christmas that St. Edwards Senior School Pool will be out of use from January in order for the roof to be insulated.

Given the holiday period, this late notice has made it impossible to provide a proper update of the cover we intend to offer from the start of the year for both Learn To Swim and the Squads. A new timetable will be made available to everyone as soon as possible. We are endeavouring to ensure all that use St.Edwards will get ample opportunity to swim.

In the long term this work will be of great benefit to all swimmers as they can learn or train in a warmer environment.

Timekeepers Course - January 2009

There has been an encouraging response from RTSC members for this 'one evening only' Timekeepers course to be held at Central Park. The course is likely to be held in January as soon as sufficient numbers have shown an interest. As a club we always need to provide timekeepers when we compete in league galas and we currently rely on a small dedicated group of qualified officials. The club needs as many qualified helpers as possible to ease the burden on those parents who are having to make themselves available for every competition. Please email us at: romfordtownsc@aol.com for more details or to apply.
