EBSC's 'Learn to Swim' Program!
Do you have a friend who wants to swim with us but isn't at the minimum requirement of being able to swim 1600m in one hour? If so, please pass this along!

We are very pleased that EBSC is launching our very first 'Learn-to-Swim' program in January 2010 at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre.

Here are some details of what we're planning:

Cost per person: $35 for 8, 45-minute Sunday AM lessons

Lessons: At Vancouver Aquatic Centre on Beach Avenue (underneath the Burrard Bridge) at either 10AM or 10:45AM. Swimmers will be grouped by ability into either a "less able" (10AM start) or a "more able" (10:45AM start) group.

Class size: Maximum limit of 6 people per 45-minute session, for a total of 12 people. EBSC will provide our head coach, Khosro Mansuri, who will be dedicated to the swimmers in this program.

Start date: lessons will start on Sunday, January 10th, and will run for 4 weeks until January 31st. We will then take a month-long break (for the Olympics), and restart on March 7th until March 28th. Khosro will provide some 'bridging' practice suggestions if you wish to keep up the swimming in February.

Minimum ability: we ask that you know how to swim Front Crawl (also called Freestyle) and one other stroke of either Breaststroke, Backstroke, or Butterfly. Alternatively, if you've reached Level 4 of Vancouver Aquatic Centre's adult swim classes, you can join the Learn-to-Swim program.

The aim of these lessons is to bring your swimming ability (we hope) up to our minimum swimming level at EBSC of 1600m in one hour, and to help you improve your stroke technique and have a little fun along the way. If you don't decide to join the club afterwards, don't worry! as there's no obligation to join. However, we look forward to providing you the opportunity to love swimming as much as we do! Interested swimmers who meet this criteria should contact Chris Hallamore as soon as possible. In a few weeks' time, he'll provide interested parties with information on how to register and pay for the lessons, but right now we're gauging serious interest in the lessons.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Your Exec!
