Eastfield Sports Centre has a new Saturday swimming class for adults. The class starts at ten and finishes at eleven. Arrive fifteen minutes early to change your clothes. It is for beginners. You do not need to swim well before your first lesson.
One lesson costs eight pounds. Pay at the desk when you arrive. Your first visit includes a free tour of the centre. Bring a towel and a swimming hat. You can borrow a hat for the first class, but you must bring your own towel. Leave your shoes in a locker. The lockers take a one-pound coin, which you get back when you open the door again.
There is no class on the first Saturday of June because the pool is closed for cleaning. Classes start again the following week. Please book your place by Friday lunchtime. There are only eight places in each class. Call the centre or speak to someone at the desk to book. Online booking is not available.
