OLYMPIAN and triple Commonwealth gold winner James Goddard was the guest of honour at a recent Ludlow Swimming Club coaching session.

Goddard spent two hours with the junior and senior sections at Teme Leisure Swimming Pool and gave a talk on his life as an athlete.

More than 70 swimmers attended with chairman Steve Martin delighted by the outcome.

Martin said: “The day was thoroughly enjoyable for everybody concerned and we hope it instilled belief in the swimmers that they too could go on to achieve great things if they work hard.”
