Training fees
Please ensure you purchase the correct training fees for you. Training fees must be bought along with a membership and a sport swansea membership. If you have been a member of the club previously and show up to training without these you WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TRAIN. New members are welcome to come to a session to try out just message the facebook page or our captain to arrange. Once fees have been paid message Ellie Wiffen (captain) to be added to the facebook group where updates and registers will be posted.
Booking a session (members and tasters)
To book a session as a member fill out the COVID form which will be posted on the closed facebook group (request to join here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/SUKbc, please answer the questions to be let in!) where spaces are first come first serve. We are capped at 30 people for training in line with the current COVID guidance
For taster sessions message our facebook page or email to arrange a free session, a COVID form will be sent to you on the day of the session.
Registers/ COVID forms MUST be signed before training or you will not be allowed to train.
How training is going to work
We ask that you wear sliders/flip flops before training or at minimum shoes you can slip on without tying laces to reduce the time it takes for people to leave. This is due to cleaning after each session and timing is tight.
For the sessions you won’t need any equipment, but you may bring gloves if you have them (they must be wiped down with a solution that kills viruses if you use them in the session). We recommend you wear clothes that aren’t going to restrict your mobility so think gym wear. Once you are a member a uniform will be provided, if you have one and show up to training without it you will not be able to train. Please bring along a bottle of water as sharing isn’t an option.
During training you will be positioned so that there is adequate space between you and anyone around you (i.e. socially distanced). If you cough or sneeze during training, please do so into a tissue or your elbow, afterwards, sanitise your hands after.
