HLF grant for historic swimming club
Brighton Swimming Club (BSC) - one of England's oldest swimming clubs - has secured funding worth nearly £50,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
The grant will go towards the Floating Memories scheme, which will allow the club to examine a recently-discovered archive at Brighton Museum covering the town's swimming heritage. Artefacts to be properly documented and conserved as part of the BSC project include 16mm film footage of water-based activities from the 1940s and club rules from 1887.
Stuart McLeod, head of the HLF for the South East, said: "A wide range of skills training will be offered to new volunteers from archive research, cataloguing and digitisation, to recording oral histories and exhibition design."
