Marion Marlins - You may or may not be aware that the through the vigilance of our esteemed committee we have secured a government grant to assist us with a program to raise the fitness levels of our senior community by providing a specific program aimed at this demographic. To qualify to take part participants will need to be in the 60 (ish) and above age group, and be able to swim 50 metres. Those of you who know someone who fits this criteria may like to provide them with the details of the program. There are some flyers available at the pool or you may like to print off the attached copy.
It is planned to run the program throughout 2012 alongside our Monday and Thursday morning training sessions. (9.00 am – 10.00 am), commencing on Monday 30th January. The program will suit the needs of the participants with a dedicated coach and lane available.
