Swimming T imes 75 What people say...

The Swimming Times is one of the best places to advertise our meets and the club to like minded groups and individuals…the team really came up trumps with helping us achieve the right advert for our club in a short space of time. The Swimming Times provides a platform that delivers not only our message, but in our case and most importantly, value for money! Ian Ashley, Chair, City of Milton Keynes Swimming Club

If we didn’t advertise our meet in Swimming Times we wouldn’t get the entries we are looking for, we find it invaluable. Tony Green, Nuneaton & Bedworth SC

As a world leader in swimming video analysis SwimPro is already well known in Oceania, parts of Europe & North America, and were looking for a way to further promote our products in the UK. We came across Swimming Times magazine online and contacted them about doing some advertising. The staff were extremely helpful with all my enquiries. In turn we booked a run of full page advertisements. The results from the ads were outstanding. We increased our exposure in the UK substantially and took many orders. The staff kept me up-to-date with which ads were running, and sent our offices copies of the magazine. All in all dealing with Swimming Times was not only a very pleasant experience but great for our brand. We’ll be continuing our relationship with Swimming TImes well into the future. Blake Bennett, Head of Marketing - SwimPro
