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"

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! Click here to visit the Website set up to help her!
