Cinderford and District Swimming Club celebrated an unprecedented number of personal best times and stellar performances at their annual Club Championship event earlier this month.

It culminated in a fantastic evening of fun, food and festivity at the Oaklands Sports Bar on Saturday November 16.

Trophies and medals were awarded in age categories and the evening exemplified the mentoring and supportive ethos behind this volunteer-led local club.

CDSC was formed in 1977 as a community based non-profit competitive swimming club.

The aim of the club is to ensure members are able to develop into competent, confident swimmers who thrive in an environment designed to build self-esteem among them.
