New Administration System

2/1/2016

 
Lichfield Dolphins are pleased to announce that they have now commissioned a new computer system to run the administration of the school.

Using CoursePro from Cap2 Solutions, members of Lichfield Dolphins will be able to login and view swimmer progress and pay for lessons using a secure connection to WorldPay. All of your swimmers will also be in one place so a single account for all members of a family.

We have also decided to run a continuous swim timetable. From 1st January 2016 all swimming will be paid for in 8 week blocks. This is sensible for a number of reasons:
  1. We run a system of continuous assessment. When a swimmer is ready to progress to the next class then they move. They have worked hard for their badges so we won't make them wait for an assessment day at the end of term which is a waste of your money when a child is stuck in a class when they could have progressed. So, we now run a continuous timetable too!
  2. A source of frustration for both the swim school and parents is the irregularity of payment for lessons. Both the amount to pay and the window of opportunity to pay would change from term to term so we have removed this - hurrah!
  3. We have more flexibility in being able to offer those needing a special arrangement due to irregularity of work to pay in four week blocks instead of 8 week blocks. Please contact us to discuss this.

GUIDED WALKS AND CYCLING IN THE SUMMER

10/7/2014

 
During the first three weeks of the summer break, Sally and Bob are organising guided walks on Cannock Chase and cycling around Lichfield and on the Chase too. Read more about these events on our summer activities page. It would be great to see you there and we will try and organise something for everybody, big and small.
Walking

All walks will take place on Cannock Chase. It's a beautiful place to walk and safe for the children too. We will organise several walks from a couple of miles 'picnic and play' walk to a serious 10 or 15 mile explore or further if you're up for the challenge.

Read more on our summer activities page.
Cycling

Cycling will take place on a couple of circular routes around Lichfield and the surrounding area on roads that are rarely used by traffic. We would recommend that the road events are only undertaken by adults. We will also be cycling on Cannock Chase for the off-road enthusiasts.

Read more on our summer activities page.
The legal bit: Please note that the walking and cycling activities are being organised by Bob & Sally and are not a Lichfield Dolphins activity so you will not be covered by the Lichfield Dolphins insurance policy. All activities are weather permitting and if for any reason we will have to cancel then we will post on the summer activities page the day before. All events are free of charge. Parking is the responsibility of the participant. Enjoying yourself is mandatory :-) and no swimming anywhere to be seen!
