Band 8+: The timetables below show the weekend activities at Newtown Swimming Pool and the proposed new timetable. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and making comparisons where relevant.

The two timetables show the current and proposed weekend activities at Newtown Swimming Pool. Overall, the new timetable increases the number of sessions for adults and slightly reorganises children’s classes.

In the current timetable, most Saturday morning sessions (from 9:00 to 12:00) are allocated to children, including beginners, intermediate, and advanced levels. In the afternoon, there is a mix of activities such as water safety, intermediate, and advanced classes. On Sunday, activities are more limited, with fewer sessions overall and some time slots left empty.

In the proposed timetable, Saturday remains mainly focused on children, but water safety classes are extended, taking up more time from 12:00 to 14:00. Sunday, however, shows a significant change. More sessions are added, especially for adults. For example, intermediate and advanced classes for adults are scheduled in the afternoon, along with additional water safety sessions.

Another key difference is that the new timetable uses Sunday more efficiently, filling previously empty time slots. Adults have more opportunities to attend classes, particularly later in the day, while children’s sessions remain concentrated in the morning.

In summary, the proposed timetable offers a better balance by increasing adult participation and making fuller use of available time, especially on Sundays.
