From 17th May we have now re-started swim sessions at Oundle at 7:30pm on Monday's and Wednesday's. Later in the year, we should be able to add Friday's as well.
The sessions last for 1-hour and currently, due to various restrictions placed on us by Oundle Pool and the BTF, we are currently swimming without coaches and are restricted to 30 members swimming at a time. It is also seniors only at the moment.
Due to current restrictions, these are members only sessions, but new member's can join here https://pactrac.co.uk/page/join/ Members are able to sign up on ClubPal for sessions in advance at £5 per swim. Monday's are in the 50m pool and Wednesday's in the 25m pool. It is a great new facility.
-------------UPDATE: We are expecting to be in the pool at Oundle from 17th May. In the meantime, keep an eye on the Facebook page for details of swim's at both Stanground and the Peterborough Lido.

UPDATE: We are currently looking to be in the pool at Oundle, from the week beginning 18th January. Further update in the next few days.
-----------------------
UPDATE: Following a meeting with the school and a look around the new facilities, it looks like we will be able to commence our swim sessions there from Monday 4th January. It's still possible that we could be in earlier but looking unlikely at the moment.
------------------------
Work has now re-commenced on the New Oundle Sports Centre site this week (03/05/20). Oundle have decided to PERMANENTLY CLOSE the current swimming pool and commence the de-commissioning of the site. No dates are currently available as to when the new centre will open.
The current Sports Centre’s dry facilities will reopen at some stage, but not the swimming pool.
-------------------------
Oundle School have closed the Swimming Pool to outside members of the public, until the spread of CoronaVirus is contained. Our last swim at Oundle was on Monday 9th March. We will not be swimming at Oundle until further notice.
Oundle School are in a difficult position, having to look after their pupils first. Other pools are still open, so we hope to make alternative arrangements shortly.

Stanground £4:60
Regional Pool £5:10
Jack Hunt £5:10
Thrapston £3:30
Corby £4:70
