Swim Training Schedules

Updated 2nd Nov – pesky external galas and staff training hitting our schedule! Please note new change to 28th Nov – We will have the whole pool though so lots of room to spread out.

Swims cost £5 per session, or a book of 10 tickets can be bought for £45. Payment can be made in cash or via bank transfer.

Swim book payment:   Deal Tri   Sort code 40-16-11     A/C no. 62656922    £45 REF:  SwimYourname

Pease do not pay for swim entry at the centre – that’s all covered in your very reasonable Deal Tri ticket price.

Tuesday Swimming  7-8pm  2026 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.

What we know about 2027 – so far…

  • 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.

Development course DTDL38 is now started.

Damien, Sian and Ant are carrying on. Phil, Sam and Jo have joined the new group. Congratulations Dan and Jan for your swim promotion and hope to see you in January Catherine.

New development course is being planned for January 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. IThe 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.

On list so far Catherine, Sarah… Please email me on swim@dealtri.co.uk if you are interested.
