The majority of Otter sessions cater for swimmers of all ability. However, as a guide, we have swimmers with personal bests for 100m frontcrawl ranging from 52 seconds to around 90 seconds.
Sessions are usually a mixture of freestyle, medley and choice sets, including kick, pull and full stroke. The intensity of the sessions will usually depend on the proximity of the next competitive meet, and hence the particular period of training we’re in.
Maps for the pools that we train in can be found by clicking on the links in the tables below.

*Shell operates a strict entry policy. The Club has to provide your
photo and contact details. These will only be provided by the Club
once all entry details are correct, subscriptions have been paid, AND
the member has expressed an interest in swimming at Shell. Once the
details are supplied to Shell it takes 5 working days to make a
special pass for entry, which is only supplied to the member on
production of either a passport or driving licence (with a photo) for
the first visit. For subsequent visits the pass itself is sufficient.
          


We encourage and welcome anyone who would like to come and try our sessions to see if it suits them. Please note that new members are welcome, in the first instance, during the Thursday and Sunday sessions at Queen Mother Sports Centre, only.
