What's The Value of Clubs?

 23rd Aug 2022

Tooting Bec Lido

At 100 yards in length, Tooting Bec Lido is - to my knowledge - the largest pool in Britain.

It opened in 1906.

Within months, the South London Swimming Club was formed.

The club has been holding weekly Sunday morning races ever since.

Including today.

Having been a member since 2019, I’d say all power…

To #consistency

To volunteers everywhere

To the all-round value of clubs

To a sense of belonging.

To exercise.

To a love of the outdoors, whether in or out of water.

And to sanity - even/especially when the water’s cold!

In 2018, Simon coached me with public speaking, style, helped write my pitch, and gave me every imaginable tip to manage my nerves, present with esteem, conviction and win over the audience - with his help I went on to pitch to 3,000 people and win the World Social Enterprise competition. I cannot recommend him more highly to any CEO or senior executive looking to perfect their public speaking and win over an audience.
