In July 2016, the pool we use for training at South Hunsley School is due to close. The pool has served the community, school pupils, swimming club and thousands of swimmers for the past 50 years and provides facilities for swimming lessons and galas for Primary School and South Hunsley pupils, base for the 200 member South Hunsley Swimming Club, Elderly and Disabled swimmers, Master Swimmers, Triathletes, Aqua Fit, Lifesaving and Water Safety Courses, Water Polo Club, Out of School/ Holiday Clubs, Pool Parties for local community children, Public and Leisure swimming sessions and of course, training for scuba divers.
Effective training for divers requires a deep pool - you simply can't practice a lot of the skills needed to dive safely (ascents, buoyancy control, rescue technique) in a shallow pool. If the pool at South Hunsley School closes, we will struggle to find suitable alternative facilities locally.
