Regrettably MyTime at Biggin Hill have experienced an issue with some tiles lifting when they were refilling the pool last week. They have not been able to resolve the issue and therefore the pool has not opened as planned and Tuesday’s Biggin Hill session for Platinum has been cancelled.
As always, please keep an eye on the Today's Training section of our homepage for any alterations to the current timetable of training.
A bit of good news, is that Platinum will be able to train this Thursday, 20:00-21:00 at the Walnuts.

Yes, that’s right! We’re re-opening! The committee have reviewed the latest guidelines from Swim England and our pool providers and we now ready to return to swimming from Monday 12th April 2021. MyTime have confirmed the pool time we have at both the Walnuts and now also at Biggin Hill. As we cautiously move out of the current restrictions through this year, we hope some of the restrictions we had previously will be relaxed and we will make our members aware if changes can be made. In the meantime, we hope to see as many of you possible poolside. As part of the guidelines we have to ensure all swimmers and volunteers complete the Covid and Health Declarations. These forms are new and need to be complete again prior to swimming. Links to these forms can be found at the end of this article. Please complete these forms before your first swimming session. The updated training schedule is available on this website under the Information/Squads menu item. Please take a look to ensure you know when and where you are swimming; there have been a few changes to some squads. Please remember to adjust your adjust \ reinstate your monthly Standing Order to the Squad Fee as of the 1st working day of the month where possible. Any adjustments for partial months will be invoiced separately. Please note that you are still required to wear face coverings when moving around any of the venues – unless you are exempt. Please make our Welfare Officer aware of any exemptions via email to welfare@orpingtonojays.com Covid Liaison volunteers will still play a big part of our routine. Without enough volunteers, the swimming sessions can not take place. Please spare some time where possible to ensure the session run as smoothly as possible. All swimmers are required to wear a swim cap when in the water. One of these, along with the other vital kit is available from our club shop! Don’t forget to update your information in Team Unify or the OnDeck Mobile Application. It is vital we have telephone contact numbers in the system, as well as being able to see attendance, personal best records and more. Please let us know if you have any questions\issues with the system. If you have any questions on any subjects please do not hesitate to contact us. The committee email addresses are on the Information/Our Committee menu link
