Since the club's centenary in 2008 we have invited a former Olympian/ elite athlete to our Presentation Day, firstly to present the trophies and medals to our swimmers in the evening but to also hold a masterclass session in Garston Pool in the afternoon. Over the years our committee has managed to obtain the services of some truly world class individuals and each one of them have made the day extra special for our swimmers with their enthusiasm for the sport, for the stories they have been able to tell and for having numerous photographs taken with them.
