WDSC are proud to announce that our Head Coach Kevin Brooks has been selected as an accredited coach for Team England at this summer’s Commonwealth Games 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This follows on the announcement in February confirming that Gemma Hathaway has been selected as part of the support staff (S&C) for the preparation camps, this week in London and prior to the Games in Manchester.

Kevin (along with Gemma) are currently supporting the England team in the lead up to the AP International Meet this weekend. Kevin will then head to the preparation camp and into the games themselves, coaching a group of English athletes through the 6 days of highly competitive racing.

WDSC recognises how significant it is to have two leading members of our coaching team at this level; and we are very proud of them.

Head Coach Kevin Brooks commented “I’m delighted to be selected and given this amazing opportunity to be part of Team England. It’s a huge honour to be part of this team”

Statement by Peter Brazier, Cabinet Member for Culture & Leisure, regarding the Wycombe Rye Lido:

“Buckinghamshire Council is aware that Fusion Lifestyle, the charity operating a number of leisure facilities across England, including Wycombe Rye Lido in Buckinghamshire, has entered administration.

Wycombe Rye Lido is a valued and much‑used local facility which plays a vital role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our local communities. We have been working behind the scenes to agree a transition period between Buckinghamshire Council and the Joint Administrators of Fusion to ensure that, for now, Wycombe Rye Lido can remain open and operating as usual.

We will continue to work closely with the Administrators and relevant partners to support continuity of service, recognising Wycombe Rye Lido is an important community facility. At this early stage in the process, there are a number of options in play in terms of a future operator for the site and we will provide more information when this is available.”
