As you may know all children from Reception to Year 6 go swimming during the course of the school year at Clissold Leisure Centre. However, there are more opportunities for your children to learn how to swim, improve their skills, learn 4 different strokes and ultimately swim against other clubs.
By joining Clissold Swimming Club your child will have the opportunity to be trained by excellent and inspirational coaches in Hackney. There they will learn to swim gain the confidence to enter competition, play waterpolo and maybe one day swim the channel as four ex-Grasmere children did with the club this year.
If you would like further information about this please speak with Ian or Greg McNeill or visit www.clissoldswimmingclub.org.uk

Once upon a time there lived a kindly storyteller called Mother Goose. She lived in Hackneytopia with her son Billy and all the other fairytale folk.
One fateful day two magical sisters, Charity (the good one) and Vanity (the evil one) decide to find out who is the most powerful witch… and so out tale begins… Mother Goose is given the gift of Princess Pricilla, a magic golden-egg-laying goose. But what happens when all you wish for is offered to you on a plate? Do you give away the goose you have grown to love… for beauty?
Come find out and along the way meet the gorgeous Pricilla, laugh at the antics of Baron Bonkers and Evil Edna, visit the magic pool in the heart of an enchanted forest where skeletons dance and crows sing and most important of all - join in the fun, cheering and booing all the way.
