2008 a successful year for Bramcote

This year has been one of our most successful years. Swimmer numbers are at a record high at over 220. A re-organisation of the squads and the timetable has enabled this growth. The club's finances are very strong allowing for further investment in the club next year. Bramcote now has more qualified coaches and teachers than any other swimming club in the county. We have pool time at five pools: Bramcote; John Carrol; Lenton; Loughborough and Nottingham University.
