⭐️⭐️Wickford swimmers⭐️⭐️
message was sent out first thing and most have replied to say they have seen.
Sorry to cancel the lessons today but with the air temp being too low with water temp borderline too, it would not have been comfortable for adults let alone little ones. Then whilst clearing away (having been ultra prepared setting up yesterday) the air handling “squeak” got worse and ended up sounding like a fire alarm. Which would not have been great for anyone either.
Hoping both issues are quick fixes and we are back to normal next week. Thanks for your patience and understanding x
