What happens at the end of 10 weeks?
Participation in the 10 week block does not guarantee a full time place in the swimming club. However there are three options in place to ensure that swimming can continue.
- If most of the outcomes are achieved, and they are of an age group needed, then your child will be offered a full time place in Louth Swimming Club.
- If some of the outcomes are achieved then we will offer you the option of another block of 10 weeks.
- If your child is not making the progress required to be a competitive swimmer after 2 blocks of 10 weeks, then they could move across to the Meridian’s ‘Squad.’
