NORTON Radstock Swimming Club is enjoying life at its new home at Downside School, Stratton-on-the-Fosse. 

Since moving in June, the club has seen its membership grow in numbers, including welcoming back some returning members.

The club has twice increased the amount of pool time it uses since the move, to enable all of its members to access the sessions they want to.

The committee have managed to reduce the swim fees now that the financial pressures on the club have been significantly reduced. 

A majority of NRSC swimmers like to train in a club environment for personal fitness, mental health or social benefits and do not compete for the club at swim meets. 

However, NRSC does provide the opportunity to attend meets. 

Last year, they had several swimmers qualify for the Somerset County Championships, with members also qualifying for regional and national championships. 

So if you live in Midsomer Norton, Shepton Mallet or the surrounding area and want to train in a swim club environment, NRSC would love to welcome you for a free trial.

The club recommend swimmers to have achieved Level 7 of the Swim England Learn To Swim programme, but will offer trials to those on Level 6. To find out more, visit www.nrsc.org.uk
