A SWIMMING club in Burnham has been awarded a £3,000 community grant after votes in support of the group flooded in.
People-power put Burnham Swimming Club top of the Lloyds Bank Community Fund.
The club, based at Brean Splash, offers a ‘learn to swim’ programme and has a competitive swimming club to enable children to continue swimming in adult life.
Club chair Sally Plume said: “We will have new equipment, a newly-trained and qualified workforce and a smart new kit for swimmers to be proud to wear and represent the club.”
