Champion Swimmer Mark Foster Supports The Big Splash

Champion Swimmer Mark Foster Supports The Big Splash

We are delighted to share a lovely message we received from the swimmer Mark Foster in support of our Big Splash fundraising campaign. 

Mark, who represented Great Britain in the Olympics and world championships and England in the Commonwealth Games, competed in butterfly and freestyle at 50m and enjoyed much success over his long career.

To hear his words of encouragement for The Ryleys School swimmers in their sponsored effort to swim the equivalent of the distance around Great Britain (1,791 miles) in our pool is truly inspiring. We are all exceptionally grateful to Mark for his kind words and support.

The Big Splash is our campaign to raise £250K to fund the construction of a retractable cover for our outside pool to enable its use year-round. To find out more about the exciting progress we are making towards this goal and to learn how you can support us, please visit The Big Splash.
