We swim at Wycombe Leisure Centre at Handy Cross (HX) and Wycombe Abbey School Sports Centre (WA).
** At HX swimmers should arrive at the pool SWIM READY (wearing swimsuits under clothing) and be at the poolside 5 minutes PRIOR to the start of each training session to register and warm-up before entering the pool.
- Drop your swimmer off at the Clarence Gate between 1840 and 1850. This entrance is a third of the way up Marlow Hill. The gate will be open, attended by one of our Coaches or Lifeguards. Drive through the gate, drop off your swimmer and then continue around the drive to exit the school grounds onto Marlow Hill a little further up. Your swimmer will be directed into the Sports Hall.
- It is essential that you drop off your swimmer between 1840 and 1850 as the gate will be closed at 1850. There will be no late entries to swim training.
- Collect your swimmer from the main car park for Wycombe Abbey at 2040. The entrance to the school’s main car park is at the bottom of Marlow Hill just after one of the mini-roundabouts. The swimmers, coaches and lifeguards will walk down from the Sports Hall to the car park together.
It is important that swimmers attend regular training; specific attendance is not a condition of being a member, but swimmers cannot expect to make progress without putting in the hard work. Fitness, stamina, technique and speed all stem from being in the water regularly. Those in the competition squads should attend licenced swim meets to obtain officially recognised Swim England times.
