Grant money provides equipment boost for swimmers

Posted on: 9th June 2025

Bishop’s Stortford Swimming Club is delighted to announce that the Club has received a £2,000 training equipment grant from Bishop’s Stortford Town Council.

This generous funding has enabled the Club to purchase new dryland training equipment including dumb bells, resistance ropes, skipping ropes and exercise mats.

The new equipment was put through its paces by BSSC’s Age Group Performance squad at this week’s land training session. The Club’s dryland training is delivered by BSSC’s Strength and Conditioning partner, Maddocks Fitness, and is designed to help improve swimmers’ fitness, performance and recovery – in turn, resulting in improved performance, more effective training and reduced chance of injury.

The equipment grant is part of a larger sum awarded by Bishop’s Stortford Town Council that will enable the Club to invest in updated software and AV to run and manage swimming meets, together with pool training equipment such as backstroke ledges, swim bungee cords and bridge buoys.

Paul Davenport, Secretary at BSSC, commented:
“We are incredibly grateful for Bishop’s Stortford Town Council’s commitment to supporting our Club. The new equipment will have a huge positive impact on our swimmers, as we continue to invest in strength and conditioning training to help our swimmers improve their performance. This funding has come at an ideal time for the Club, as our coaching team begin to prepare swimmers for the upcoming national championships later on this summer.”
