We have an arrangement with Ashford Swimming Club, to share their masters swim session (Wed 8pm at the Stour Centre Pool and Sat 8am at the Ashford Shcool). One of the sessions is coached, the other uncoached, but it enables you to swim for up to an hour in lanes.

Payment for Swimming - you can come along to your first couple of swim sessions free of charge, but then there is a charge of £4 per week for the two sessions. This is paid by standing order to Ashford Swimming Club - please contact the Ashford Swim Club for forms. There is also a £5 annual fee that is required by the Amateur Swimming Association.

Swimming at the Stour Centre - The pool re-opens on the 15th September 2007 - 25m pool with lane swimming during public sessions - see the Stour Centre Website for more details of times - mornings midweek the pool is open from 6.30am.

When swimming it is better to follow a structured plan rather than swimming endless lengths up and down for 30 mins or an hour! ATC's swim coach - Christine Johnson, has put together a series of swim sessions for you to print off and take along to the pool:
