NEWTON Hall Amateur Swimming Club is producing a superb range of services to cater for the potential competitive swimmer.

A new telephone number (07071) 794665 or 07071 SWIM-OK is being launched in a blaze of advertising.

The Alphanumeric number is reputed to be the first of its kind in the UK for the sole use of a swimming club.

A spokesman said: "It's time swimming got the recognition it deserves. Great Britain has world and Olympic champions and we at Newton Hall Swimming Club are a stepping stone towards that goal.

"The number selected spelling SWIM-OK has been selected through BT flexiline system and Telewest Communications."

The club is also putting the finishing touches to an open day at Moor Park Pool on Saturday July 24.

With Radio Wave broadcasting live from 10am to midday, all children are invited to see the club in action and to join them for a free swim.

Loads of giveaways are up for grabs but all children must be accompanied by an adult.

For more information call 07071 SWIM-OK or 01253 319595.
