They have had the covers on but we have got plenty of people in the city who are willing to accommodate us in doors should we need to, and we will if we have to.""Sometimes it is a good thing because it is an opportunity to get a bit of cross training in and it does them good to do less weight bearing work in the pool because you can work people extra hard and they don't realise it, so it can do them more good than they think and so sometimes it can be a blessing."
