Why are we crowdfunding?
Our home pool where we train 5 times a week is Bridport Leisure centre and we have been using the same blocks for years and years.
These blocks are now very outdated and the swimmers cannot get the most out of their swimming with them.
other clubs in the area including the pools we compete at for counties and regionals have the new style blocks which with their new design allow the swimmers to get a more efficient and effective dive and start to their race.
without the ability to practice on these blocks during our on training time, it is leaving our simmers inexperienced and disadvantaged when it comes to competing on them at other galas.
At barracudas, our team of volunteers strive to provide the very best opportunities to our swimmers despite being a smaller club and we are therefore working hard to raise the money needed to replace all six blocks.
We have already been working hard behind the scenes to raise the first £8000.00 towards the blocks and this is the final push !!
How we’ll spend the money raised
Every penny raised will go solely towards purchasing the new blocks.
