A huge thank you to everyone who attended the Northumberland & Durham Festival of Aquatics today!

From spectacular Artistic Swimming performances, incredible Diving displays, and fast-paced Water Polo action, it was fantastic to see so many young people experiencing the wide range of opportunities available within aquatic sport.
