Temporary Closure to New Members ages 13 and under

We are sorry we can’t take any new starters aged 7 to 13 until further notice. Membership has grown rapidly and the Monday junior run/bike session in particular has become overcrowded.

Any juniors who have only started in the past few weeks but have not yet joined will have until Monday 10^th October to join the club. From 10^th October only members will be able to train on Mondays and the on-line membership facility will block any new applications for those aged 13 and under by 1^st Jan 2017.

Any juniors aged 14 or over by 1^st Jan 2017 can still join but will need to train with the adults on Mondays and can attend adult/junior swims sessions and the Friday bike session.

We are working on ways to increase capacity and recruit more coaches so as to be able to accommodate more juniors in 2017. .

New Session !! Strength and Conditioning Tuesdays 8pm

We have set up a new session which will run every Tuesday 8pm to 9pm starting  on Tuesday 4th October. It will be held at Kept Fit Gym Unit 1 Dunscar Business Park, Blackburn Road, Bolton, BL7 9PQ and will cost £3. For any members aged 16+

We will trial it for 2 months initially but as long as it is attended by at least 15 people each week we will continue it. Lukas, our head coach, has set it up and explains the benefits 

'With the autumn coming up it is exactly the right time to bring this type of training The sessions are aimed at members aged 16+ of all levels. The purpose of these sessions is to create greater core strength and flexibility which in turn can help to improve stamina and keep our members injury free. This is something that can fit into an athletes training plan all year round. In the winter more strength base and in the season more stability based.'
