We were delighted to take delivery of new orange and yellow buoys which will be used in the 2012 Seahorse Swim and club time trials. This was made possible by a successful club grant application to Borough of Poole and Poole Sports Council to whom we express our thanks and appreciation for the work they do to support talented sports people, clubs and coaches.

RLSS Poole Lifeguards kindly inflated the orange buoy at Sandbanks for this photo. The buoys are 3m high, which is several Gerry Griffins if you still calculate in old school measurements.

Use the contact form to send in your caption for the photo below and we will publish the best.
