“Members of Aberdeen Dolphin Swimming Club (ADSC) have benefitted a lot from the land training offered at RGU. The sessions are athlete focused, with the emphasis being on core strength and aerobic fitness. The swimmers are stronger and fitter, which has been reflected in them being faster in the water and more confident in their performances.”  - Laura Bowie
