The swimmers will spend the majority of their time at Les Quennevais Sports Centre, which has an 8-lane pool together with a separate warm up and cool down area. Permanent seating is available for 200 spectators and there is also catering on-site.
Les Quennevais also hosts Jersey’s annual swimarathon. This sees hundreds of people taking part in a 4-day fund raising event which, since 1972, has raised over £2.5 million for charity.
