Dear All Members,
Following the announcement with regards to the second national lockdown which will commence on Thursday 5th November I wanted to update you all. Our return to the aquatics on 9th November will be placed on hold till we understand arrangements for reopening leisure centres hopefully in December 2020.
However all the preparatory and planning work which has gone into returning to the aquatics will remain in place and used to quickly mobilise our return in December if possible. Therefore I have emailed all information and documentation to Squad Managers to send out to squads (emailed across today to Squad Managers) – the email includes those swimmers who have an allocated space for when we return to aquatics swimming provision – we still want you all to complete and return that documentation to me directly so we are ready to mobilise as soon as we come out of lockdown.
For those swimmers who access Hetton please note the last training session will be on Wednesday 4th November – any outstanding sessions will be calculated and we will be in touch with you directly once we have an agreed process to manage those refunds.
If there are any swimmers who would like to be added onto the land training Microsoft Teams platform for £25 a month, please email me directly on: chair@cityofsunderlandasc.co.uk and I will get you access to the site.
If anyone currently pays the £25 a month but is having issues accessing this platform please contact Chris Ferriter directly on: chrisferriter@cityofsunderlandasc.co.uk who will rectify this. For all those who continue to support the club by paying the £25 a month fee for access to the Microsoft Teams platform I want to say a massive thank you for this ongoing support.
Over the second lockdown period Chris Ferriter (Land Training Lead) will ensure all programmes are on the site for Performance, YP and AGD, Ken Nesworthy will continue to lead the Junior Squads. If any athlete would like contact or feedback with regards to land training (those with access to the platform) please direct these to either Chris (for Performance, YP & AGD Squads) and Ken (kennesworthy@cityofsunderlandasc.co.uk – for all Junior Squads).
We will be furloughing all other coaching staff until our return from lockdown, this is to further reduce the outgoings and financial pressure on the club as well as protecting the future sustainability of COSASC.
