"Sheffield is an excellent venue for swimming, the Sheffield team understand the needs of our sport and have the right experience to stage truly world class events"
David Sparkes, Chief Executive, Amateur Swimming Association
"I have been swimming in Sheffield for 4 years, during this time I have risen from national qualifier to a senior member of the GB squad. I have been lucky enough to swim in many different countries. To date I have never been to a pool that matches up to the likes of Sheffield's own Ponds Forge"
James Kirton, GB Swimmer
