Due to local elections taking place on Thursday 6th May Oldham Sports Centre will be Closed from 4pm.

Regional Group training is cancelled for Thursday Evening.

As we are getting ready to restart we need to let everyone know. Ocll will require everyone 16 and over to use the NHS app to check in on every visit. This includes staff, swimmers, parents and spectators. 

Please ensure you check in for all sessions including morning training. 

If you are unable to use the app a register must be completed at reception. (bring a pen)

NHS app available here https://www.covid19.nhs.uk/

As Greater Manchester has moved into Tier 4 we will need to take a break from training and hang up our goggles for a while.

Please don’t cancel your direct debits as these will be frozen automatically.

Stay safe everyone.

We will break for Christmas after training on Wednesday 23rd.

We were hoping the @DCMS would have published its latest guidance by now ahead of the country moving into tiered restrictions on 2 December.

We have updated our coronavirus FAQs based on what we know so far and will clarify further when we receive the latest guidance ⬇️

We are still waiting for over 18 guidance. We have put our case forward. We will keep checking and will update when we can.

I have been asked why over 18s are not able at the moment to return to training. 

The new tier 3 rules that affect us are:

• leisure and sports facilities may continue to stay open, but group exercise classes (including fitness and dance) should not go ahead. Saunas and steam rooms should close
• organised indoor sport, physical activity and exercise classes cannot take place indoors. There are exceptions for indoor disability sport, sport for educational purposes and supervised sport and physical activity for under-18s

  Having said this Swim England today are seeking clarification with government as to how this affects our over 18 swimmers. We may have some more news Friday.
  
  Fingers crossed everyone!!!

We will return to training on Wednesday 2nd December.

Unfortunately as we are in new tier 3 we are not able to let over 18s return to training. If you are over 18 your direct debit will remain frozen.
If you are over 18 and would still like to attend the gym and public lane swimming as individuals we can offer a discounted rate of £25 per month. Please let me know if you want to take up this offer. 

Once again I must remind everyone that social distancing must be practiced at all times.
