A warm Loughborough welcome is being given to our visitors from Japan.

Coach Tako, with two of Japan's finest swimmers, will spend a week here as guests of Dennis Pursley (GB Head Coach) and will work under the direction of Coach Ben Titley.

Kohie Kawamoto ( left) is an outstanding butterfly swimmer whilst Noriko Inada (right) is a three time Olympian who now trains with a masters group but was good enough to win the 100m backstroke at the recent Monaco Mare Nostrum Meet.

Must brush up on our Japanese...."Good Morning" and "Fast Swimming" has been a start!
