More than 100 children joined Olympians and members of team GB in a Total Swimming activity afternoon at Westminster Lodge on Sunday.

Coaching the youngsters were Team GB water polo captains, Fran Leighton and Adam Schofield, Commonwealth and European Gold Medal swimmer Adam Whitehead and team GB synchronised swimmer Vicki Lucass.

The children were coached in a variety of skills including water polo, fast swimming and synchronised swimming.

The athletes also signed autographs and presented everyone who took part with medals at the end of the session.

Westminster Lodge is run by Everyone Active and general manager Lesley Garner said: "There was a great atmosphere. The youngsters really enjoyed themselves and, I think, were truly inspired by the athletes.

"It was a real privilege to have Fran, Vicki and both Adams here.

"Educating children in different forms of exercise is very important to us.

"We hope that by giving them the opportunity to learn from some of our country’s top aquatic stars, more local children will be encouraged to take up water-based sports and activities."
