important dates for 2026

Tuesday Swimming  7-8pm  2025/26 Seniors only

  • Every Tuesday throughout the year  – except between Christmas and the new Year as the pool is shut and we can’t break in!
  •  4 lanes  –  a range of abilities coached by Darren.
  • No booking required
  • Darren Beeching has taken over  the regular Tuesday training sessions. He is doing well and the session is popular.   Darren is a great swimmer and qualified coach. He has been involved with the club on and off for many years. He has successfully run the Development Session on Saturday for the last few years and in the dim and distant past he originally coached  our Tuesday sessions!  Darren’s  approach is that of a “Multi-stroke” method including skills, drills as well as distance, as he believes this to be the best way to improve and develop a swimmer’s performance. Don’t worry there is still lots of distance for those that want it!  Darren is also  catering for the less elite and less endurance minded members too and so we are encouraging the “Saturday swimmers”  to step up and give it a go.    
    • To quote Darren he wishes to – “becoming instrumental in developing a squad of successful triathlon and masters swimmers.”

Saturday Swimming 6-7pm 2026 Juniors & Seniors

Every Saturday during school term times only. Ideally 6-7pm.

We have to reschedule – cancel or run at a different times – when the pool is closed for external galas – this is frustrating so keep an eye here and on our calendar. We sometimes get very little notice.

We cancelled swimming on the 27th June to allow everyone to attend our 40th Birthday party at the Lamp room in Betteshanger 3-8pm

  • Torren coaches 2 lanes of senior swimmers. He is a qualified level 2 teacher.  Torren has been the backbone of our swimming instruction for many years now. He is a great teacher, approachable and friendly.
  • Ellie and Phil coach 2 lanes of Juniors.  Our youngsters are very well looked after. – fun in the water & learn to swim! How lucky are we?
  • No booking required.

Saturday Development Swim   

Development swim short courses start regularly and are coached by Darren. This is an opportunity to master that pesky breathing lark in Front Crawl that will enable you to go the distance, efficiently and effectively. Darren is a great coach and may even get in the water with you to demonstrate. There is a maximum of 6 friendly participants and you can learn from and encourage each other too.

THIS SESSION IS NOW FULL- lucky participants are

Sat 18th July is the last development swim for DTDL36. Participants Terry, Sally, Marika, Pauline, Jan & Dan you are owed £6.50 refund from me/Gloria/the club or a credit note due to the cancellation of a session to enable everyone to attend the Deal Tri birthday party.

A new development course is being planned. We are aiming for the “can do a sort of front crawl but not very far and I run out of air” level of standard. If you can make most of the dates then this may be the course for you. Do not worry if you miss one or two but many more and you would loose the momentum. The course is non refundable and payable in full in advance. It is very good value! Dates may have to change as the leisure are prone to cancel our lane reservations if they get a better offer (external gala). Keep looking on this page.

I am taking bookings for this now – First come first served, Please email Rebecca on   swim@dealtri.co.uk
