One of the UK's most successful swim clubs, which is based in Milton Keynes, warns that they may face closure due to the impact of COVID-19.
It is run entirely by volunteers, but the club employs a small number of coaches to ensure training is carried out safely and to the highest standard.
But despite the club's popularity, they say that they are struggling to stay afloat given their current financial position.
"But, as you'd expect, the Covid-19 pandemic has severely affected us financially."
The club claims that the first lockdown has left them £20,000 down, and they are concerned that the second lockdown could cause further financial ruin.
They warn that at this rate, the club will cease to exist by summer 2021 so have turned to a GoFundMe page as a last resort.
Nearly £3,000 has been raised out of the £10,000 target by over 50 supporters.
