🤩 We are delighted to continue with our sponsorship of the Carnforth Otters again this year, being the main sponsor for the club since 2015. 🏊 The Otters are a local swimming club who train swimmers aged 4 and upwards to compete in club, regional and national events. Run and coached entirely by volunteers it is a friendly and fun club which boasts a world record holder and Olympic finalist amongst its former competitors!
