Bryanston Development Camp

We often host events (as we have a reasonable pool) so don’t have to travel but most non-club events will be somewhere else in the South West, often at Hutton Moor Leisure Centre near Weston-super-Mare. If it is a team event then we put on a coach and ask that all the swimmers travel together. Sometimes there is room for parents, but even if not we encourage as many parents as possible to come and support the team. If it is not a team event then we ask that parents take their children to the events.
