If you're a club swimmer, swimming parent or swimming club volunteer then chances are you'll be involved in the County Age Group Championships happening right now all over the country. County Champs usually kick off in mid-January and run to early-March, they're a great way to introduce kids of all different ages to competitive swimming. It's a good chance for swimmers to put in to practice all of the new things they've learned since they resumed training in September.
Recent studies have shown that here in the UK we enjoy a swim more than any other sporting activity. The latest “Sport England Active People Survey” shows that more than 2.5 million of us go for dip every week! The data collected by Sport England shows that over the previous six months, open water swimming has grown 5% and over a quarter of a million adults have improved their swimming technique through lessons or coaching.
