What a good month to play a water-based sport – especially for those who have had access to an outdoor pool! As the temperatures soar what better way to cool off than train in one of our open-air lidos or travel abroad for some European sun. Wherever you are spending your summer we hope that you are having a good time and are keeping safe. Below we highlight what some of our clubs have been up to in July.
