With the pools still shut, a handful of our team are experiencing open water swimming for the first time. Just to be clear, this is not an OOJSC activity. That being said, Masters swimmer, and backup coach Steve has put together a FAQ document for anyone thinking they might like to try it. The answers are his opinions based on his experience and are for guidance only.
Please check with venues about any age restrictions that they may have.
If you have any other questions then please email him at steve@orpingtonojays.com

Tuesday 16th June 2020
Regrettably we have to announce that our Head Coach, Sergio Catania will not be returning to OOJSC when we are able to resume training. These are challenging and unsettled times for us all and consequently we have all had time and opportunity to reflect and re-evaluate. Now that Swim England have released their guidance to return to the pool The committee are working hard on our own strategy for that. We will ensure that all sessions are covered by our very competent coaching team. As soon as we have more details on what the return to swimming will look like for us as a club we will communicate with you. In the meantime we wish Sergio the best for the future and thank him for his years of service to our club.
