A BOURNEMOUTH swimming team has received a £2,000 funding boost to stay afloat after a challenging year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Swim Bournemouth, a competitive swimming team affiliated with Swim England, received the funding from the Churchill Foundation, a charity run by Ringwood housebuilder Churchill Retirement Living. The funding means the team can continue to support young athletes in their quest to compete at the highest level at Dorset facilities including the Littledown Centre in Bournemouth. Swim Bournemouth’s Head Coach, Matt Heathcock said: I would like to thank the Churchill Foundation for this very generous donation towards our crowdfunding activity.
