We were delighted that she agreed to hold her clinic at one of our regular club sessions at The Heights. I have competed with Jane at many international events and she always takes time to encourage swimmers of all ages and abilities. She believes it’s one of the very best ways for anyone to keep fit and get the most out of life.”
