With over twenty years of swimming experience Lynn and Glyn developed the largest independent
swimming programme in Derbyshire. They were industrially recognised by the STA as the first
independent swimming school to achieve stamark accreditation. This award independently verified by
the institute of leisure management recognises high standards within the industry and is a form of self
regulation. They attained investment in people status in 2003 and were short listed for the business of
the year awards for two years running. Through the friends of the swim school they worked tirelessly
to promote disable and special need swimming helping numerous individuals and groups access
swimming, including Ashgate Croft School prior to the completion of their own pool. In April 2007 they
sold The Swim School to concentrate solely on Swim 121.
