(they finish earlier as they get quicker and learn)

Boys will need to be patient - participant numbers are often very high to begin with, but usually reduce, allowing individual boys to be identified and to have more sessions.

Boys will need, as a priority, to demonstrate great attitude, the 'BIG "A"', in abundance.  More on this at the meeting that takes place in early September.

Generally, after-school water sessions are 15:20-17:30/18:00/18:30.   As we lose the light during the winter,  the water sessions will become shorter.

Morning gym sessions are 07:00-08:00 in the TWBS gym. These start after October 1/2 term on THURSDAYS

Monday morning WBSBC All Squads Club Run - 07:00 GYM

September – October Half Term (7 weeks).

1-3 water sessions per week, via a sign-up form, enabling you to opt for your preferred days (subject to numbers).  Boys will normally start with 1 water session per week, but progress quickly to 2 water sessions, but this is dependent on numbers and groupings.

Look out for lunchtime sessions in the gym from week 2.  These will be introductory sessions, focused on movement.
