St. Julian’s Masters Autumn 2026

Neptunes will be continuing the Popular Swim Fit Master classes with coaches Gail Rizzo, and Monique Mangion, starting from Monday 28th September till Tuesday 23rd December.

Public Holidays: No swimming lessons will be held on Tuesday 8th December and Sunday 13th December.
Due to refurbishments being carried out at our outdoor pool in Balluta Bay, lessons will be held at the National pool in Tal Qroqq Gzira, and at our indoor pool in TA Qali for the beginning of the Autumn Term. All lessons will be moved back to Balluta Bay as soon as it will reopen, and the 6am lessons will resume on all weekdays.

The main objective of the swim fit school is to promote fitness and health in adults by offering and supporting swimmers, some of whom might be athletes aspiring to take any water-sport like swimming, water-polo, triathlon, etc. more seriously. Participants will be split into groups mainly according to their ability. How far you go with swim fit is up to you. The broad objectives are better health, learning the correct technique, getting fit, and friendship between swimmers. The coaches will cover technique development across all four strokes as well as fitness sessions, that will be tailored to the abilities of the swimmers involved.

The swimming courses will be split as follows:

NON-SWIMMERS:
This is for swimmers who do not know how to swim unaided in deep water and want to learn how to swim, without any aids. Swimmers will learn how to float, kick and breathe during swimming getting comfortable with their face in the water.

BEGINNERS:
This course is aimed at swimmers who know how to swim confidently, but want to learn the basic strokes like freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke. Swimmers will learn to be more efficient in the water.

INTERMEDIATE:
Swimmers who have some swimming background and have basic skills. Programmes to further progressions to increase fitness, endurance and improve overall technique.

ADVANCED:
Swimmers who have a strong swimming background and proficient in stroke technique. Specific programmes for more intensive endurance work to increase fitness levels and improve overall technique. This level is advised for, ex competitive swimmers, open water swimmers, triathletes, and all year-round swimmers.

During the first lessons, coaches will assess the swimmer’s abilities required for the group that they have registered in. If the coaches feel that a swimmer is in the wrong group level, in the interest of the swimmer him/herself, we will change his/her Group level as necessary in order to maximize his/her learning capabilities.

Swimmers will need the following equipment:

  • Advanced, Intermediate: swim cap, goggles, hand paddles, pull buoy and short fins/flipper
  • Beginners: Swim cap, goggles, pull buoy and short fins/flipper
  • Non swimmers: Swim cap, goggles and short fins/flippers
