Renfrew Baths Amateur Swim Club (ASC) has been awarded a four-figure funding boost towards its 50th anniversary celebrations.

The club, which is based at the town's Victory Baths, has received a windfall of £2,100 from the National Lottery Awards for All Scotland fund.

The cash will be used to help the club celebrate its 50th anniversary during this year's annual championships in November.

Susan Fraser, president of Renfrew Baths ASC, said: "We are grateful to the National Lottery fund and players for supporting our club.

The Gazette:

"For 50 years, Renfrew Baths ASC has coached competitive swimming for local young people and we are committed to doing everything we can to ensure this continues for the next 50 years. 

"We are proud of our 'swimmer first' ethos and of the lasting friendships that form at the club."

Kate Still, Scotland chair of the National Lottery Community Fund, added: "National Lottery funding can make amazing things happen in local communities across the country.

"This project delivered by Renfrew Baths ASC, is a great example of community activity in action, showing just what can be achieved when people come together for a common cause or to help others.

"National Lottery players can be proud to know that the money they raise is helping to support this vital work which is making a real difference to so many."
