Here is a decent video of the pool



Enjoy :)

Helpers and viewers are also welcome to the event
 
I see with joy that the UK ladies are creeping up to international pool performance levels!
Thanks for reporting about it, Natalia would be very pleased to see more competition going at it.
I also hope that Sara Campbell aims and trains for a new CWT World Record. It would be cool to see a sort of direct head-to-head comp with Natalia for it.

How is Rebecca at depth?
