There was a great turnout at the first Glasgow group training session on October 31 – and the next opportunity looms this weekend.

This Saturday sees a return to Bellahouston Park following the Short Course Champs for the second session, with clubs, coaches and athletes from west and central Scotland warmly invited to join in.

The first rep is at 10.30am and the lead coach this time will be Olympian Lynne Macdougall – for 3-minute reps with 90 seconds recovery.
