Sign up to Swim Britain to win a Masterclass session from an Olympic coach at your
club!
British Gas Swim Britain is a new series of swimming relay events nationwide designed
to get Britain fit and healthy. The ambition is to get 500,000 more people swimming
by 2015! The challenge is for teams of four, so there are many options for you.
How about a combined swimmer and coaches team, or swimmers participating with their
families? Spectators, officials and volunteers in your club can have their moment
of swimming glory in the pool (or in the Open Water if you fancy taking on the challenge
of the Great Lake in Blenheim Palace!). SwimBritain is for swimmers of all abilities.
You can choose a SwimBritain 4,000m team relay, or if that’s too far, go for Little
SwimBritain – a 2,000m team relay.
ASA affiliated clubs can receive 50% off each team they enter with a social media
leader board via facebook and twitter showing tracking which clubs have signed up
the most teams. Your stories and successes will also be publicised in the October
issue of Swimming Times offering nationwide promotion for your club.
The events are taking place in 10 pools and 1 open water venue around the country
with over 150 other locations offering free coaching sessions. Visitwww.swimming.org/poolfinder
