Training sessions
Stanley Pool (Louisa Centre)

Our swimmers seem to enjoy this venue because of the facilities and
atmosphere at the centre. The staff are very helpful and professional in their
attitude towards us.
We have training on occasional Sundays there, in July,  to refine skills
which we can't practice at Chester-le-Street, see our 'Training' page.

British Junior at World Junior Championships
Congratulations to Cassandra Graikowski Hainsworth, who competed for
Great Britain at the 11th World Junior Finswimming Championships in
Palma, Mallorca, Spain. She set some great times:

100 m Surface – 00:50.54"

400 m Surface – 04:02.55"

50 m Apnea – 00:20.31"

Well done! Her 50 m Apnea time is the highest placing by a British female
finswimmer ever. Her 400 m time is also a new British Record!

We sent her some equipment, but she still needs help in the form of
sponsorship
to help pay for the trip!
