Information for members - All triathlon and swimming training continues to be suspended until further notice

Oldbury Swimming and Triathlon Club continue to follow the advice of our Governing Body - Swim England, regarding lessons and training.
Currently lessons and training sessions remain on as usual at Langley and West Bromwich.
"At present the Government has not closed schools or restricted school activity and therefore we do not see any reason why clubs should not continue with their training programmes in their own environment within the guidelines of the facility.
“We do not recommend training camps or competitions take place with members from different clubs..." (Swim England advice 16/03/2020)
The advice from Swim England, and also Sandwell Leisure Trust and Langley Swimming Centre is that children should shower before entering the pool and after their session, and wash hands frequently, following Public Health guidelines. There is also hand sanitiser at the desk in the foyer at Langley. Please do not attend sessions if you or your child are unwell in anyway.
To minimise numbers on the balcony, if you are a parent of a swimmer (aged 8 and above) in the large pool, we would be grateful if as far as possible you would drop your child off for their swimming session and pick them up afterwards. I understand that this may not always be practical, particularly if your child is in stages 5-8, or you live a distance from the pool. Please ensure that you either send your child with their own phone, or that your mobile phone number is up to date for our records, should the need to contact you arise.
At present, whilst schools are still open, the Land Training session at the Portway on Wednesdays will still go ahead.
However, this does mean that all scheduled League Galas and Open Meets have been cancelled for the foreseeable future.
We are checking the Swim England website frequently and will update guidance as necessary.
