I am not a confidant swimmer is this a problem?
Not Necessarily, there is a dedicated lane for the course, unfortunately we are not able to teach you to swim from scratch to make the most of the course you will need to swim at least 100m unaided 2/3 length of Hampton pool.If you are a more competent swimmer will suggest you join the regular club swimming sessions but don’t worry the coaches will know who you are and look out for you.
