Neptunes will be organising their annual summer swimming school between 3 July and 15 September at the club’s fresh water swimming pool in St Julian’s, for children aged four years and older.

Swimmers will be split into various groups, according to ability, with special emphasis on teaching the correct breathing and swimming stroke techniques.

Successful swimmers in the advanced groups, who finish the 11-weeks course, may continue training with the Neptunes Swimming Unit throughout the year.

Last summer over 170 swimmers attended the Summer Swim School and the majority of participants completed the course and were given a Certificate of Attendance.

The Neptunes Swimming Unit was been established more than 20 years ago.

Some of Malta’s top swimmers have had their swimming grassroots at Neptunes including National Team swimmers Angela Galea, Nicole Cremona, Neil Agius and Talisa Pace all of whom have represented Malta in Monaco during GSSE 2007.

Participants may choose either morning or afternoon lessons and further information and registration forms may be obtained from the website www.neptunes wpsc.com.

Registration days are every Thursday 21 June from 6.30pm to 7.30pm and Saturday 23 June from 10.30am to 11.30am at Neptunes Pool, St Julian’s.
